A great difficulty with our system of

have no adequate machinery for
spreading over the country the influx
of new material which is constantly
arriving.

"The work of the world is not being

Leslie NJ. Shaw, the Secretary of the
Treasury, In recent talk to young

there is good pay in store for good

Warnings of the Department.
OF course. there are localities in
which, for lack of money, or material,
or as result of the peculiar lay of the
land, roads cannot be made good. But
in most cases bad roads result from
Indifference and neglect, of either the
patrons or the county authorities.
And where such negligence becomes
persistent, continuing after warning
from the Department, the route Is
changed, the carrier is authorized to
take another and better road. and the
persons responsible for the change
must suffer the loss of convenient mail
delivery.
1t is safe to say that rod of good
pike will pay a larger dividend to the
farmer than any equivalent invest
ment he can make. Roads are as
necessary as houses and farm tools. A
good road is a saver of time, stock and
gear; it encourages industry; it makes
for success in agriculture; it fur
theirs happiness; it opens the way
to better civilization. AS a rule
in good-roads localities you find good
farms, and prosperous farmers. To
some extent the prosperity Of a re-
giOn exists in advance, and is re-
sponsible for the good roads, and in

STATUTE REGULATES MORALS.
District Attorney Jerome, of New

York, Points Out that Laws are
Deficient.
"Within the last decade or so there
has arisen an entirely new class of
crime" said Mr.. jerome in Il public
statement. ''crimes which do not come
within the pale of the law. In the
earlier days of American history when
man wanted to rob his neighbOr he
did so by force, and there were laws
which attended to his case if he should
be detected and found guilty.
"There are no laws to cover % out
of 100 crimes committed every day In
this era of high finance. In England,
| France, and the countries of Europe
the necessity of safeguarding the
people against financial crimes has
been recognized by laws which have
been enacted to this end.
"The trouble in this country is that
the morality of a great many people Is
governed by what Is on the statute
books. Thousands of New Workers are
blind to the moral side, and only know
an act is immoral when it Is written
into the law as a felony.

The Faithful Carrier.
Many letters on this subject come to
the Department from rural carriers.
At certain seasons heavy rains occur
in all parts Of the country. When
roads are flooded and washed, bridges
are carried out, and shallow fOrds be-
come impossible, carriers often go
miles out of their way to surmount
such obstacles.
