mcntS have attracted the attention OF
road builders all over the United
States, who are watching the result
with the deepest interest Mr. Hutch
inSon asserts that the asphalt country
road will cost no more than the mae
adam, and that its wearing qualities
will SurpASS those of the material at
present commonly used.
Within the last few months Commits
Sioner Hutchinson has been bobbing up
new road operations in different parts

recent acquisition 10y his department
of an automobile. which enables the
! commissioner to keep his eye on new
road work much more readily than he
could before. Contract prS and inspect

amy shortcomings Of which they may
be guilty in the construction are
quickly exposed to the gI;c of the otii-

In several counties Commissioner
Hutchinson has bounced down upon
dcrelict contractors and inspectors, and
he has not hrSitated to call the atten-
ton of boards of frrcho't!VrS to the
conditions that he found, and in some
instances he has exercised his authority
of Withholding the states money until
| the work was properly done.
Commissioner Hutchinson is ut pres
ent paying particular attention to APP

roads. He insists that only the most
travelled roads be improved, and in this
way instead OF building roads that will

when he entered upon his otlicc-that
no road less than sixteen feet in width

AN IDEA OF BEN BUTLER'S.

General Hancock lost the presiden- cy through several causes, the chief of which was that the majority Of the states did not want him. But one factor that was made very effective against him was his simple and child like declaration that the tariff was a local question. This was rubbed into him until he became a laughing stock by reason of it. and yet today hardly anybody. protectionist or freetrader, but will admit it's truth.
 Old Ben Butler, whose entertaining and fantastic notions were always ln- teresting and almost always wrong, says the Hartford Courant, used to advocate in loud terms the opening of the railroads to anybody who had an engine to run, just as the "other hishways'' were open. He would have the rails considered as furnish ing a state highway. This was laugh ed at, too, and he was ridiculed for his scheme for multiplying collisions
 But now comes the president of the Erie and proposes to show how the Butler idea can be practically applied. MT. Underwood has had shipped to him at Los Angeles in southern Cali fornia two automobiles built with nasged wheels and of standard ra1l- road guage, said to the largest auto mobiles ever built. In these MT. Un- derwood and his friends propose to make the trip across the continent, coming home by the San Pedro, un- ion Pacific. Northw western and then the Erie. These motors will run as trains under orders of the dispatch ers They are driven by gasolene and can do sixty miles an hour. If they prove practicable, there is no reason why their number should not increase and some day the crazy dream of Ben Butler will be realized. Every train for itself, and the railroad for every body.

character of modern times to pay for and applaud the muck and salacity of dramatic and literary panders. It is a jar to the sense to perceive oth- erwise respectable and intelligent people guilty of bad manners and inn proprieties in their amusements.
 But the deeper objection to encour- agement of improper diversion lies in the fact that bad manners ultimately make for bad morals. If our taste is but skin deep for the morbid and vicious. all the more reason for erad icating it now before the trouble sinks in and becomes constitutional
 A campaign for a more wholesome kind of books and dramas is well be- gun in the pulpit. Everywhere the press will devote it's aid towards re- forming taste or quickening the sense of decency. It would seem that every priest and pastor in the land might well afford to devote sermon a year to correcting what is obviously a wide and demoralizing tendency.

AWNINGS ARE DOOMED.

In two blocks, on the south side of Garrison avenue, the unsightly wood en sheds, politely called awnings have been ordered down by progress sive property owners and with the cordial assent of the tenants. The property owner has discovered that they cost considerable for repairs and maintenance and the tenant has dis covered that they darken the store and increase the artificial light bill.
 More than that the sentiment of civic improvement is spreading and all are beginning to realize that the old sheds detract from the tidy ap- pearance of the city.
 The doom of the wooden awning is sounded and the ax is falling at ire quent intervals. Who will be the next progressive property owner to cut them out?-Ft. Smith Times.
 While the Times was about it, it might have hit at some of the avn ings that are not wooden. Pine Bluff has number of them that need at tention. No one passing along Third avenue from Main street to Alabama needs be told that some of Pine Bluffs awnings need attention But why specialize this portion of the city, when one can find others else where that are too low?

In the death of former Governor James Stephen Hogg at Houston, Texas. last week, the passln g of national character is recorded, for this Texan was celebrated throughout the nation; indeed, while he was gov ernor of the Lone Star state, certain publications in Europe printed char acter sketches of him, oyerdrawing and carricaturing his peculiarities; others depicting him as typical, rug ged American of the ante-bellum school, with a personality fifty years removed from it's proper setting, says the Ell Paso Times.
 For a decade Hogg was great fac tor in the politics of Texas. He has ever been foremost among those in reform movements, and to Governor Hogg, as much as anyone else, if not more, is due the fact that Texas off cialdom has never been characterized DN ETaICS as nave luc SONelAIlSl u other commonwealths in recent years.
 He was Bryan Democrat in pol itics and died a Bryan. Democrat. Many in his own party denounced him during the last presidential cam- paign because of his support of the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt.
 Hogg was very popular with the plain citizenship of Texas. He was of the plain people, had risen from obscurity and knew the hopes and needs of those about him. He had, because of his quaint mannerisms, been accused of demagoguery. Ger tain envious ones claimed that he sought to please the popuace in order to influence them to adhere to him. But those who knew him best declare that his personality was not a mask, but a reflection of his own environs, of his own soul-that Hogg was gen. uine.

During his speech here Jeff threw out as "sop" to the Confederate vet erans that he is the son of an old Confederate soldier and favors an in- crease in pensions. But a very small percentage of old Confederates are pensioners, and they are not likely to be caught by that sort of bait Nearly all of the old veterans are for Senator Berry, who smelt gun-powder in ac- tual service and left leg on the bat tlefeld as an evidence of his bravery. Senator Berry belongs to the 'time tried and fire tested' class and is not one of the fellows who does all the fighting with his mouth forty years after the battles are over.

BAD PLAYS AND BAD
 PUBLIC MANNERS.

Archbishop Glennon is opportune in his criticism that the stage is taint- ed with decay. Salacity, if not a pre- dominant flavor of modern plays is certainly strongly in evidence The erring woman, rather tawdry crea. ture, is the subject, illicit love the theme of a great number of produc- tions She is usually tricked out with misfortunes and invested with condi- tions calculated to appeal to sympa- thy. Her case rarely invites condem- nation. She is scarcely ever a re- pentant Magdalen, but rather "Sa- pho. an Iris" Mrs. Dane," or, more subtly, she is Candida" or, darinoly Mrs Warren" The mod CTS play of this sort might be termed a spacious plea for the woman of catholic amours; for the "Trilby,'
 quia multum amavit.
 And Archbishop Glennon is thought fully correct in ascribing the prevail ence of such plays to the public them- selves The fact that such plays pay the best is the worst arraignment of public taste. In truth. the refine ments and decencies of progressive society seem to have fallen back into the mire of the Middle Ages when a public demands vice for entertain ment. We are in as bad case at least as the England which cultivated the iniquities and obscenities of Dryden's plays and novels of Mrs. Aphra Behn. A revolution of taste would stand us in quite as good stead.
 For it is bad taste, and not bad moral, from which we suffer, both as to drama and as to novels Morally We grow better Restrictions take firmer control of conduct. Public standards and domestic standards are increasingly higher. The influ- ence of religion and it's tenets is broader. A campaign against dis graceful impropriety, then, is our need

Kentucky Grand Jury Denounces the
 Game as Gambling.

Cynthana, Ky, March S.-The players of progressive euchre are common gamblers, according to the report of the grand jury in the Har- rison county circuit court, and their indictment is demanded. The action has startled society here, for progress sive euchre has been the rage this winter. In urging thorough investi- cation, the grand jury report says: Progressive euchre is made alluring by prizes, refreshments and the knowledge that the papers will print the names of the guests and winners of prizes. All are common gamblers and deserve to be fined.'

Still another important factor is the electric line. Almost everywhere has the trolley invaded the territory Of the steam road and fares on elec- lflc lines never exceed cents. More and more have the steam roads been compelled to confine themselves 'to through business, leaving the local traffic to the competing trolley. As a practical offset to this the steam roads have put in excursion rates weekend rates, convention rates and all sorts of specials so that for sever. al years the bulk of the local intra. state business done by the railroads of the east has been on a 2-cent or even lower basis.
 Seeing the tremendous stimplns 'ilat mas been given to travel by the lower fares of the trolley and bv inc special steam road rates. many pass en%er men really do not view the 9 cent era as an unmixed evil. They honestly believe that reduction would have two effects-stemmine trolley line competition and creatina tremendous flow of new business This accounts for the failure of the railroads of Ohio to attack the legali. ty of the new law in the courts. Thev wish first to see what effect it will have on their earnings, and many of them do not expect the trial to prove disastrous.
