Senator Warren, of Wyoming, sees no reason for an immediate re- vision of the tariff and does not think it will come in the near fut- ure. He says: Conditions may change during the next year or so as to make revision undesirable. There may be decrease in the cost of living without any corresponding decline in wages of laborers. At the present time wages are constantly being increased in every line of work and there is no sign of finan- cial depression or of want in any part of the country. Why change the tariff when everybody is so pros- perous?"

Edgar A. Unwin, a London manu- facturer, says the English people are more religious than those of the United States. lover here the mid dle classes do not attend church on Sunday as they used to-" he said, "and little interest is taken in re- ligious controversy. It is looked upon by Americans as immaterial. They think more of the almighty dollar" It is possible Mir Unwin con- founds mere church attendance with deep religious feeling.

State Aid for Roads.

Editor of The 1'imes-D Dispatch;
Sir,-I have Just read your editorlal N
to-days Times-D Dispatch entitled Good
Roads for Amherst" IN which you quote
from the New Era, saying that with state
Aid when the county spends 81, 1t Will
get SO in work, and that thus bond
issue of $4,000 will make available $40
0no for macadamzing Amherst roads.
The Era seems to have overlooked that
there Is provision in the act OF the last
Legislature providing for the use OF the
State convict force by the counties, where
by this aid cannot exceed two-hfths OF
the cost Of the road, or 40 per cent. In
other words, SHOULD Amherst secure ths
aid of the State highway force, as we
hope to do, should tho $4,000 of bonds
he issued, the maximum value or the
aid under the law could he only $1,000.
This would afford s12oto0 instead OF s2io-
600, as you estimated.
