To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo. April 5.-Dear Sir: If
you will allow me space | would like
to say a few words In regard to good
roads.
Strictly speaking the people do not
want rock roads What they want is
good roads, and II we can have just as
good roads as rock roads at less than
one half the cost Of rock roads, 1t GER
tainly would be a waste OF time and
money to construct rock roads.
Burned clay ballast makes better
and more durable roads than broken
stone. Where our roads are worst the
material for ballast is best. The road
bed furnishes the material and all the
expense attached to making perma-
nent improvement is the cost OF con-
verting 1t into ballast You know the
railroad companies all over the United
States are using this ballast for road
beds and 1t is no longer an expert
ment Now let us do little figuring.
A road fifteen feet wide and one mile
long contains $500 square yards and to
improve this with broken stone one
foot 10 depth at sl25 per cubic yard
would cost 81, ,240.65.
To improve this same mile Of road
with burned ballast at sixty t6ol cents
per cubic yard would cost 1886 60, a
difference of s654O5 per mile In favor
Of the better material, burned ballast.
Burned ballast costs the railroads
from fifteen to thirty-five cents per
cubic yard f. o. B. cars at the pit,
Therefore have made liberal esti-
mate when put cost at sixty cents,
have help burn this material for the
Wabash railroad and know what am
talking about. Very respectfully,

LYONS LIFE
Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-Awfdl Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantiIe Ec-
Commenced at Top of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

a0ur baby had that dreadful com.
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top OF his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Mazon, H., to druggist and got
a full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and be began
to improve Immediately, and IN about
three or four days began to show
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception OF rough skin, which Is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tsinly saved our baby's hfe, for he was

The Japan Famine,

At the meeting at the Court House
last night, in the interest Of the
Japanese sufferers IL was decided to
appoint committee, consisting OF
the cashiers OF the four banks in the
city to receive contributions from any
desiring to give for this purpose @ @.
SelecniAn, A. Hughes and Fl. X, Hinde
were appointed as a committee
to put this notice In the papers and to
ask from our citizens, liberal volunt-
airy gift to these starving people across
the ocean. 1t was resolved to send
our contributions through "The
Christian Heraldp OF New York,
which has been instrumental In send.
ing, up-to-date, $4,000 TO the relief
of these starving people and is still
soliciting contributions for this pur-
pose.
This committee would urge upon
our people to call at one Of these banks
and make some contribution to this
laudable purpose. The accounts that
come to us, OF the sufferings Of these
peasants, are heart rending, and ap-
peal to the sympathies and liberality
of every American.

UNDER the heading Of "What a
Newspaper Is Forn the Kansas City
Star closes a most admirable editorial
as follows: "What a newspaper is fol
Is to tell and to teach what it con.
ceives bo be the truth. 1t is to bene.
fit In the widest possible sense the
people who read it and who give II
their support. II is to make itself an
agent Of civilization and progress.
What a newspaper is for is to do right
and to keep Others from doing wrong.
1t ID In this way that 1t conserves its
own interest and obtains the reward
to..which ID is entitled 1t is through Its
concern for the welfare Of the people
that IL gains the influence and achi-
ewes the power that make it independ-
ent OF any obligation save that Of
fidelity to its high responsibilities. To
place itself on this sort OF footing a
newspaper must be as impersonal as
an Institution can become with flesh
and blood behind it. II must be, TO
perform its perfect work, nothing less
than an organized Coincidence and
Judgment. imperyious to any influence
at variance with its task as a public
instructor and guardian. This will
doubtless appear nebulous TO those In
who never rise above per-
sonal motives, and whose puryiew is
bounded by their selfish interests, But
even to people Of that stamp a news
paper which they could affect by their
persuasion or sway by their advice,
one way or another, would be OF no ac-
count to them, because It would carry
with It no force and it would have no
place in the community. What anews-
paper Is for is to give the public a
square deal and to render to the peo-
pie In the way Of true and honest ser
