We have said great deal in this
department upor the havoc played by
bad roads and what a. decided cdvant-
age good roads would be to the far
mer. We feel almost compelled to
bring this matter up again after Just
finishing reading that in most parts
Of the West there is an exceedingly
good market for corn, the demand COM
ing principally from the stockmen. 1t
is reputed that ''in some places the
farmers are able to get forty cents per
bushel at home. Cars are becoming
plentiful In sections where they were
scarce. but there are sill places where
they are scarce, and bad country roads
have been an obstacle to free market
ingw Shortage Of cars and bad roads
the obstacle in free marketing" Isn't
it really shameful? There is the far
mer possessed Of good crops, and the
buyer practically standing ready to
give him for his products any reason
able figure that he MY ask for them,
and yet they are compelled to abbre-
viate their transactions on account of
the transportation facilities. The rem
edy for shortage Of cars the farmer
has not yet so well in hand, and possi-
bly, neither has the railroad. for the
law of supply and demand cuts an inn
portant figure in this matter: but "the
bad country roads, is matter that
lies right at the farmers door and he
knows just what the remedy is. 1t is
''up to him" to right this matter, and
as soon as he does very important
step towards advancement has been
taken.-New York Witness.

The Postmaster-Ge General, with view
to preventing evasions of the law re-
garding subscriptions and sample cop
les in second-class publications, has in
structed postmasters to recognize the
following as bona-ide subscriptions:
/. Direct subscriptions to the pub
Usher by the subscriber when paid for
BY him.
2. Subscriptions to the agent Of the
publisher when actually paid by the
subscriber himself.
8. Copies regularly sold by newsboys
or local agents or news agents.
4. Copies sent asbona-tide exchanges
with other publications admitted to the
second class, one copy for another.
5. Individual subscriptions desired
as bona-fide gifts when paid for by the
donors for the benefit of the recipients
Such subscriptions will be limited
strictly to those coming within that
definition, and will not be permitted to
be used as a cover for an advertising
or other purpose of the publisher or
donor. Under this same rule the pub
Usher may become donor of such gift
subscriptions, but in all cases the pro-
portion of these subscriptions to the
whole list will be considered and given
weight in determining the legitimacy
of sSch lists. In this latter class may
be included copies sent to prove in
snrfion of advertisements.

Accuracy A0iA HAn|N% anu 1aAIAtNW
writing the Kequisites.
Before large audience In New Ha-
ven, Conn.,. Melville E. Stone. general
manager Of the Associated Press. lec-
tured a few evenings ago on "The
Influence Of the Newspaper ln Aneri-
can Life"
The first duty OF the newspaper. he
said, is to give the news honestly and
impartially. The days OF the Greeleys
and the Bowleses are no more: the
editorial page has ceased to be Of inn
portance. The chief function OF the
press is the gathering and disseminate
ing Of the news.
AS an instance Of the wonderful
strides which have been made In the
matter of communication In the past
half-century. Mr.. Stone said that there
are men now living in whose boyhood
1t took six weeks for news from Rome
TO res ch New York. Contrasted with
this is the time taken for the news
of the late Pope Leo Mills death to
reach this country. 1t took just eleven
minutes from Rome to San Francisco.
Speaking Of the integrity of the
newspaper men. Mr.. Stone said that
everybody should be honest 10 report
ers. Accuracy is the first great essen.
tial of newspaper work. 1t is the
public which should be sued for libel
rather than the editor. In the coming
Utopia 1t will be crime to tell lie
to an editor. Accuracy Is the first
great essential. promptness the second,
and graphic. but not sensational. writ
ing the third.
Regarding the gradual elimination OF
the editorial page. Mr.. Stone believed
this to be a loss. He thought that
every well-rounded newspaper needed
an intelligent editorial page. He con-
sidered the press as great educa-
tional and uplifting factor in life.

The death Of Pre-. dent Quintana be-
reaves Argentina and is a loss to the
whole world, declares the New York
Tribune. He was one OF the states
men who have done great work in
demonstrating the capacity of the
South American republics for enlight-
ened and progressive self-g ,vernment.
Under his administration the Southern
commonwealth enjoyed stability and
progress in a high degree and COM
manded the confidence and respect OF
the world. The loss will be grievously
feit, yet there will be consolation for 1t
in the consideration that his work was
SO well done that 1t will abide after
him, and that Argentine will continue
in the game wise, safe and prosperous
ways In whicl he led her.

WORDS OF VISION.

To be right is to be rich.
The mercenary cannot be merciful.
New laws do not make new lives.
Real gratitude is fruit OF grace.
Precedents illuminate the premises.
Old gold is better than new brass.
He has no power who has no pa
tience.
No life is godly until IT has the habit
of giving.
Praise is to good deeds like sunlight
to flowers.
Few serve Satan better than sleep
ing saints.
Half the foes without are born Of
fears within.
surges of sorrow but bring us to
Gods harbor.
Won't-power is mighty poor kind
of will-power.
saintliness and self-assertion do nor
grow together.
1t is the service that gives sanct:ty
to the offering.
The self-sufficient preacher cannot
satisfy the soul.
The happiness that flows from the
bottle flies out with the cork.
He who has no other motive than
that Of profit usually dies in poverty.
Many man would be more Of
man if he thought less of what ineD
think.-Ram's Horn.

A plaster copy of what is regarded
as the most important monument be-

Babylon has been placed on exhibition
in the Assyrian room Of the Harvard

mulgated by Hammurabi, the greatest
king of Babylon, who ruled about 225O
B. G. The stone is column about
seven feet high. with carving near
the top representing the sun god con-

One Of the chapters Of Harry Var
don's new book on golf tells how the
author began to play golf himself. He
was very small boy then, living in
one of the Channel islands, and his
fondness for the game was not ap-
proved of by his father, who refused
to furnish money for clubs or balls.
vardon and his friends who had been
caddying for members of a large golf
club laid out four hole links on some
waste land and made their own clubs.
They used large white marbles for
balls, and as most of them were oc-
cupied during the day they played their
games by moonlight. This training on
miniature links gave yardon the start
which at twenty-five made him the
champion professional player.

The simple English affirmative IS be-
coming somewhat battered in common
speech. "Yesv has long sounded as
'yus" from the lipc Of the uneducated.
But there is present tendency among
the educated to adopt the American
variants upon the word. America has
found that an open vowel or a labial
is easier to pronounce than a sibilant.
And it has two substitutes for 'yes. 2
One Of them is yep" and the other is
yah" Obviously the yah" comes
through the influence of the simple
German "ia," which is quite an ele-
mental sound. "Yep," on the other
hand, is clearly a protest against the
waste of time in gehing tongue, pal
ate and teeth in a position to hiss.
Phonetic laziness is what the late pro-
fessor Max Muller would call it.-Lon-
