The Good Roads Proposition.

w~s d all directions is urging at
o W O tention to the question of
national aid to good roads.
WON The proposition as embod-
led in the Brownlow-Latimer bills has
now been under discussion long
enough to be well understood, and the
demand for its adoption as a national
policy is growing in every quarter.
The first of these bills was introduced
in the House by Hon. w. P. Brown
low, of Tennessee, and the other in the
Senate by Hon. A. g. Latlmer, of
South Carolina. The bills are practi.
cally the same, both seeking to bring
in the United States as a cooperative
factor in the systematic construction
and improvement of the highways, the
Government to supply a sum equal to
the sum any State will supply up to
the maximum provided for. In a
speech in Congress on his bill Repre-
sentative Brownlow declared that a
general plan of cooperation would
have to be resorted to in order to fairly
distribute the burden of taxation neces-
sary to adequately improve the high
ways, and added this forecul point:
$50 long as we pursue the original
method of taxation the entire burden
of cost for highway improvement falls
upon the owners of agricultural lands
and the persons living in the rural
districts. When the great mass of the
people lived in the rural districts this
was a just and equitable distribution
of taxes for such purposes, but with
the changed conditions of the present
day, when one-half of the people live
in cities, and much more than one-half
of the wealth is concentrated in these
cities and in the corporations that are
so powerful at the present time, it is
absolutely necessary that some means
should be devised whereby the reyen-
ues requisite for the great improve
ment that is called for should be de-
rived from all of the people and re-
sources of the country as nearly as
possible, and not rest. as heretofore,
upon the farming classes, who are the
immediate losers by every failure of
crops and sufferers by every decline i'll
price of agricultural products"
About one-third of u people bear
the total cost of the construction and
improvement of the common roads.
They are the people of the country dis
tricts, who constitute the mud-sill upon
which is built the political and indus
trial development which is Il boast.
To them, in a larger degree than any
other class, we W the magnitude of
the position to which we have attained
along all lines. Upon them the heavy
hand of taxation falls reientlessly.
They never dodge the tax gatherer.
but bear the largest proportion of the
burdens of government, and receive
the smallest of its benefits. 1t is an
unjust and unequal distribution OF the
burdens and benefits of government,
and it is to correct in a measure these
inequalities and hardships that the
bills under discussion are being urged
by the people everywhere.

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence OF a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

SeVen-elBnttlS Va eito
men in this world marry
d woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty In
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
Of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
Btroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman n,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,

drag upon her husband.

was completed before Judge j Otis
Humphrey in the United States Dis
trict Court. when the four indicted
members of the Schwarzschild Sc SuIz-
berger Company pleaded nolle conten-
dere to the indictments and threw
themselves on the mercy of the court.
The four packers who admitted their
guilt and left to Judge Humphrey the
power Of sentencing them to as high
penalty as two years in Jail or heavy
fine, are as follows:
Samuel Well, of New York, vice-pres-
ident of the company
B. S. Cusey. traffic manager.
Vance d. Skipworth and Chess Il.
Todd, assistant traffic managers.
Mr.. We'll was fined $4,000 the other
three $4,000 each.
The fines carried with them the pro
vision that the defendants be confined
in Jail until the money was paid, but in
these cases it was an idle provision,
for scarcely had the penalty been an
snounced when Max Sulzberger, his
sense Of relief that it was not worse
betrayed by his smiling face. drew
check for $25. 900 in full settlement of
all four fines The defendants then en-
tered their carriages and were driven
away
The plea that has thrown the pack
ers upon the mercy of the court was
made by Attorney J. X. Boyesen. He
declared that the physical condition of
Vice President Well (who is sixty-fve
years old) was such that the strain of
a trial would jeopardize his life It is
understood that the plea was entered
with the full consent of Attorney-Gen-
eral Moody, who was appraised of the
condition of Mr.. Well
These four men were not indicted
for violation of the Sherman Antitrust
law, as were the nineteen other indi-
vidual@ packers and the five corpora
tons They were charged with con-
spiracy to secure and accept rebates
from railroads over which their pack
ing products were shipped. 1t is by no
means certain that other packers will
escape Jail sentence.

They lay in triple embrace, as if
they had died in one another's arms.
Yet, from indications found on the bod
les. the children must have been killed

Ford's insanity was apparent from
his conduct even before the awful fate
of his family was learned. He stayed
under his own roof until the flames
. burst through and neighbors FASTENED
to the place from miles around. Then
he half staggered out of the house,
muttering to himself. 1t was bit by bit
and by slow degrees that the Mortified
neighbors obtained from him the story
Of his f0ur-pIy crime. He was not too
crazed to recall his deed, and he APP
peared to be patheticaily proud of it.
The farmer suffered exceedingly
from delusions for weeks preceding the
murder of his wife and children His
chief hallucinatiOn was that he was in
extreme financial difficulties, and that
his household must retrench close to
the starvation point At times when
Mrs. Ford knew he had a large balance
in bank he forced her and their young
sters to live on diet that would have
been sscorned by the humblest Iabore-
in his employ
year after year-thanks still to the
foresight OF his wife. who advised him
in bis investments. The man dreaded
the poOrhouse, and was haunted by
the fear of going there.
The deed was gone about with pre-
meditation. and it is thought that he
had been planning it for weeks. There
also is reason to believe he was jeal-
GUS without cause, of Mrs. Ford, and
that he planned the wholesale destruc-
ton from two motives. Mrs. Ford was
forty years old. Ford fifty.
1t required eight men to overcome
Ford when 1t became apparent that he
was insane and had killed his family.

USED RAFFLES METHODS
Smooth Thief Confesses to Eleven
Robberies in Daylight
william Thompsou. Twenty-Five Years
Old. Has Been Causing CommO-
tIon In New Jersey Towns.

Montclair, N. J.-Wililam Thompson
who appears to be something near the
ideal Rallies of fiction, so far as his
methods are concerned, has been
transferred to the Essex County Jail.
Thompson has confessed that he COM
mitted many daring thefts, the police
fsay.
He was arrested by Detective Reil-
! ~, Of the Montclair police, for the rob-
bery of Solomon Wrights residence in
| Mountain avenue, from which he stole
| a camera, and the authorities say that
he has confessed to eleven other rob-
beries-three in Newark, three in
| Hackensack three in Englewcod and
two in the Oranges
Thompson tells of a remarkable ex-
perience in house in Newark. He
| says that in the summer he called one
afternoon at the home Of John Cot
ton Dana, of No. 226 Mount Prospect
| avenue, and asked to see Mrs. Dana
A woman came to the door, according
to Thompson and he introduced him
self as a personal friend of her hus-
band, saying that he had just returned
from Germany, where he had been
studying music. According to the
story, the woman invited him to re-
main for dinner.
Thompson says he stayed and that
during the meal he constantly expect
ed Mr.. Dana and wondered what he
would do if that man arrived.
Mr.. Dana is librarian Of the New
ark Public library. Miss Beatrice
Winser, who, with her mother occu-
pied the Dana house during the abb
sence of its owner in the summer,
says that Thompson called at the Dana
home two weeks ago while Mrs. Win
ser was home alone, with q maid.
Miss Winser said the visitor gave his
name as James Wallace Weston and
told that he had just returned from
studying music in Germany. He said
Mr. Dana was an old friend.
Miss Winser said that the intruder
took stick pin. set with pearls, and
diamond ring. The peculiar theft
was not reported to the police be-
cause publicity was feared.
On September 13 last he called at the
home of Robert Cumming, at No. 317
Mount Prospect avenue, the police
say, and represented himself as a
friend of Mr.. Cumming. He was In
vited indoors to wait until he came
home. He said he stole pearl scarf
pin.
The same afternoon he told the po-
lice, so they say, he visited No. 632
Mount Prospect avenue, first ascer-
tanning that the head of the house was
away, and, representing himself again
as the householder's friend, was ush-
cred into the parlor, where he picked
up a silver snuff tray and made off
with it.
Thompson called at the Groel house,
Orange, and was told that the family
were away. Representing himself AS
an old friend, he coolly sat in the par
lor for half an hour before he went
upstairs and helped himself to the
contents Of Mrs. Groels jewel box. In
Hackensack Thompson said he called
at the home of John w. Thompson,
which is the name the prisoner goes
by. He also admits. it is said. that
he got into the home of man named
Moore, in the same town, by misrep-
resenting himself.
The man appears to be about TWEEN
ty-two years old and when arrested
said he came from Pittsburg.

the spot but a smoldering mass of tim

Flying embersx alighted on the roof
of the Butte Public Library Building,
a four-story structure, one of the finest
buildings In the city. 1t is now in
ruins. The loss on the library build
ing, together with nearly 100000 vol

carried.
Several dremen. painfully, but not
seriously, hurt by falls, were taken
to hospitals. The night Waterman in
the Symons Building discovered the
tire few minutes before 8 o'clock p.

tiremen were compelled to fight the
flames from the sides of the building.
Tanned by the stiff wind. the embers
lew for blocks, and it was only by the
hardest kind of work that the six
tory Clark Building, just across the
street, was saved. A heavy rain
which. began SOON after the fire was
discovered enabledsthe firemen to gain
control OF the flames and prevent the
destruction of the city.
