suppose that you led lives of royalty,
almost as easy as the lives of bankers.
But when we get little better ac-

work never ends and that, though the
gong dismisses your pupils at in the
afternoon, you carry the worry of the
day right straight through The night
and rarely lift the burden of your work
off your minds. We notice that when
you start in to work at the beginning
of the fall you look roundfaced and
pink checked and cheerful. But before
Easter comes around, you get dark
circles around the eyes, your cheeks
get a little thinner, your brow knits a
trihe, and You start at the dropping
of a pencil Your nerves get all un.
strung, unless you have that most en-.
viable faculty of forgetting the little
worries, and the vacation comes none
too soon to put red blood back into
your system.
And then we look at your payroll,
and figure out how much money you
get for your years work. And when
we do that, we have to admit that you

1t is high time for Improvement in
road making in Mineral Point. The
work done on Chestnut street last year
was. perhaps, better than the average
work done on the streets of the city
since the memory Of man runneth not
TO the contrary. High street, Com
merce street. Ridge street, and numer-
Gus other streets, have been covered
over time and again with fine materi-
ais, such as gravel from the wash
places, cinders from furnaces, screen
ings from crushed stone, and tailings
from the mills; but time and again the
streets have been washed so clean that
neither track nor trace of such cover
ings remain. This kind of street work
is AS useless and more wastefu! than
the efforts OF man who rolls large
stone up Hill and let's it roll down
again.
Mineral Point will never have prop
erly macadamized streets until the
crushed stones are properly laid on
under the pressure OF II heavy roller.
The old method Of work, especially on
the steep hillsides, is wasteful extrav-
npnnGe.

AGAIN, A STEAM ROLLER.

For the last several years the Dem
ocrat has tried hard to persuade the
city council OF Mineral Point to buy u
heavy steam roller, TO be used IN the
work of street Improvement And as
tho spring season of 1906 Is opening,
we again renew our petition, and
would direct attention to II simple OBJ
iect lesson to sustain the contention,
that the purchase Of such road maxi
ing machine would not only he move
toward better streets, but also an
economical transaction. Last lall
considerable work was done towards
improving Chestnut street; not enough
work, we think, but considerable work
withal, and ut n very considerable rx-
pense. Loose stones, crushed aud
otherwise, were laid on, and to secure
n smooth surface the stones were GOV.
cred with tailngs from concentrating
plants, and thus fairly good road
was secured for the time, But there

Abolish "In God We Trust"

"The portraits Of all the pickpock-
cts of our country do not hang in the
rogues gallery" said Rev. DR.. Ly-
man Abbott In n sermon on "Business
Life" at Harvard. "The man who
takes money which he has not honestly
earned from the pockets OF the people
at the gambling table, or in the specu-
lator's shop, or In the industry In
which young children are ground up
In the sweatshop in order to supply
cheap goods, Is far more u robbcr
than the petty thief on the streets.
"In the life OF the baby, the child,
and the young man at college we rec
ognize that things were made for the
baby, the child and the collegian, but
when the young man leaves college
and enters business this whole order
is reversed, and our American people
accept 1t as n truth that man was
made for things and that the measure
OF man Is the amount of money he
can make.
"If we, NJ u people, are TO accept 1t
as true, let us change the stars in our
flag TO dollar marks, and our motto
from In God We Trust to BE Sue
