1t must be thoroughly understood
that in providing for the constant care
and maintenance of the highways in
the country, money is scarce and taxes
are high, and that voluntary effort
must be made in the way Of contrlhu-
tions to get good roads without over
burdening the taxpayers
No one class Of citizens in the State
travel the roads so frequently and
under such adverse circumstances as
the free rural mail carriers, men Injured
to the weather and suffering many
hardships to bring the mail daily to the
door of the farmer. 1t would be a
wise act for the town officials in
charge of the highways to ask the
maii carriers if they would not vol
UNFAIRLY form associations for the
purpose of reporting daily the condi-
ton of the highways over which they
travel. Printed blanks could be used
so as to relieve the carriers of the ne
cessity OF much writing, and the re-
ceipt of the daily record would be in
valuable in directing the highway COM
missioners to the spots in the road
needing attention. The mail carrier
could report daily on printed forms
the condition Of the highways. He
should report it in good order when il
is SO. and he should report the spot
requiring attention when it needs It,.
A system Of inspection thoroughly
made by the mail carriers would aid
road officials in giving constant atteH-
ton to small repairs. thus saving the
expenditure of the taxpayers money
for large repairs which need not have
been made by the official.-New York

Talking Against Time,

Up in the United States District At

hard work, there are also moments Of
relaxation. At such times the STAFF

Stewart:
"a young limb of the law defended
an old convict on the charge Of
burglary. The rules Of the court Dit
was in Massachusetts, allowed each
side one hour in which to address the
jury.
"The young lawyer, just before his
turn came, consulted a veteran mem
Der Of the bar who was in the court
room.
"'How much time do you think |
should take up in addressing the jury 2
he asked.
".You ought to take the full hour
"'The full hour! Why, / was only
going to take ten minutes
"'You ought to take the full hour,
reiterated the old lawyer.
"'But why?
Because the longer you talk the
longer you will keep your client out Of

Sometimes it looks as if there were
no basis Of assurance whatever in the
business and personal relations Of peo-
pie. There is no assurance, we say,
of anything whatsoever in this world
except death and taxes. But we trust
our friends, and we do it not merely
because we must, but because we de-
light in doing so. And ninety-nine
times out Of hundred the trust is not
betrayed, asserts the New York Even
ing Mail. The greater the transaction,
the more vital the stake to any human
being, the more complete is the de-
pendenee upon this system Of conf
dence. The greatest financial deals are
gentlemen's agreements. The noblest,
the firmest, the most benefcent rela-
ton that exists between any two ma
tions in the world, that between Great
Britain and the United States. is a
mere understanding. No scrap Of paper
has passed here. A signed agreement
would weaken the alliance. 1t trans
cends the letter. No seal could bind
1t; it is too big for that. In the holiest
relation OF life the sacredness the com
pleteness Of the trust goes furthest Of
all. 1t is oftener betrayed for want Of
honesty In the confidence than because
OF ii. The same is true everywhere.
Suspicion Is the mother Of all offend
ing. The spirit Of confidence saves, the
letter OF guardianship kills..

The tribute levied upon motorists Dy
the magistrates Of the United Kingdom
during 1904 reached the enormous sum

very nearly flO per head for every car
Astonishing as these figures are y
is probable that when the total Of tnls
years fines can be made up It VIII
reach well over 100000.
The increase this year is due to the
persistent manner In which the police
in many parts Of the country, and espe-
cially in the southern counties, have
pursued their campaign against motor
cars BY means Of traps.
"The latest form of police trap Is an
electrical arrangement says stenson
Cooke, Secretary of the Automobile
Association. "a piece of rope is almost
buried across the road at the start Of
measured furlong When the ear
touches the rope it starts a timepiece.
Another rope is laid at the end Of the
trap, and when the car touches this it
stops the timepiece. This is the most
just and reliable form Of trap, for il
does not depend for its accuracy upon
cheap stop watches and unskilled po-
lice as timekeepers.
by the system of patrols which the
Automobile Association has established
many Of the police traps have been
completely nullfied. At Guildford

taken in fines from motorists IN one
day. Now that our scouts are at work
things are very different.

days a week, the patrols exercised the

to both producers and consumers in
the United States But the value OF
good roads does not rest upon money
standard alone. There are other and
equally as important considerations.
For several decades the census figures
show that the cities have been in
creasing much faster in population
than the country. Much Of the best
brain and Drawn from the farm is go
ing to the cities because Of the isola-
ton of farm life. Man is a social
creature, and if he can't get assocla-
ton in one place he will seek it in an
other. The wealth of the nation de-
pends largely upon the farmers. They
are the wealth-creators, and if we
would increase our farm products and
improve the land we must keep our
young men at home instead Of sending
them to the cities. The way to de-
stroy the isolation Of farm life now so
discouragng TO young men is to build
good roads. Many young people in the
country are deprived Of fair education
because of bad roads leading to the
schoolhouses, and because bad roads
render impossible the consolidation
and bettering of the schools that are
accessible Good roads would get more
Of the boys and girls in school, and
lessen the average of illiteracy in most
Of the States Of the Union. Bad roads
keep thousands from attending church
and Sabbath-school. and thus are
bar against civilization and the spread
of the Christian religion. Good roads
are needed to make life desirable upon
the farm, to increase the average of
intelligence by putting people in close
touch with the world and each other
and for the advancement Of education
and for Christianity
How are we to have good roads?
With the burden of road construction
and maintenance thrown almost who'll
ly upon the farming classes. our high
ways, as a rule are no better tha.E
they were fifty years ago. Thus has
time and experience proven that local
systems are inadequate are failures.
We can have good roads only when the
expense of building and maintaining
them is somewhat equally distributed.
All the people contribute to the Ma

in the Treasury is largely derived from
