AUTOS DAMAGE THE ROAD.

1T is hard to say what will be the rl-
innate damage to the roads, said a
member Of the Massachusetts, Commits
sion to a representative of the Boston
Globe, but it has recently been estinlat-
ed by the board that $4,000 damage has
been done already by autos. This is
small III proportion to the cost Of the
roads. but unless some new method of
applying surface is adopted, the DANA ge
IS likely to be continuous that is, le-
peated as fast as it is made good Thsre
IS something about the broad rubl n
tires, on wheels of small diameter, De-
culiarly damaging to macadam roads.
A vacuum is created by the tire, which
sucks the surface or binder from the
road. and it is blown away, leaving the
stones exposed. The commission is ex-
perimenting with tar surfacing, which
has been used in France successfully.
Experiments have also been made by
the park commissioners with an oil hay-
ing an asphalt base. Something new
must be adopted, and I have no doubt
Massachusetts will not be behind in its
adoption .

THE GRAND IuRY,s REPORT.

In this issue of The Caucasian is pub
lished the report of the grand jury, sub
mitted today to His Honor, A. ]. MurG
judge of the District Court, Section B
The report is free from all sugar-coatins
and the verbosity which conceals fire.
quently the failure or the avoidance OIL
an imperative and disagreeable duty
There is no n.incing of words; it is
clear, direct and forceful.
When the grand jury declares that il
IS very difficult to secure sufficient evil
dence upon which to return indictments
in all cases of violated law, it means
that individuals having knowledge Of
such violations, especially of the Sunday
law and the prohibition law, are not only
diffident in giving testimony but they
are frequently afflicted with blankness
of memory from which they are immov-
able. Singular as it may seem, men will
testify more readily in criminal cases
than they will when concerned in the
violation of the Sunday and the prohibi-
ton laws.
The reason is obvious, and it is need
less to waste space and words in COM
ments. However, the grand jury point
with emphasis to the return to the vio-
lation of the Sunday law by some en-
gagged i'll the liquor traffic and directs
attention to the failure to return an in
dictment by the last grand jury for vio-
lation of these laws, and still more direct
is the statement that whatever informa-
ton has been obtained has not been
furnished by the police department,
which is a serious reflection on the po-
lice. Naturally some minds may be in
clined TO query the connection of the
police and the saloon and may conclude
that the saloon must enjoy some inn
munity for political consideration inn
piled. AT any rate, it is singular that
the police have no knowledge of the lis
regard of a law when its violation is
manifest to men who go about town,
and by visible drunks on the streets on
Sabbath days. In this connection it may
be pertinent to inquire if it be not the
duty of the sheriff to assist in securing
arrests for these Sunday law violations
by some of the individuals engaged in
the liquor traffic?
1t may be true that class licensed to
engage i'll this traffic are disposed to
treat the law with contempt, but all such
opposition will strengthen the element
inclined to law and order
This grand jury has demonstrated
what intelligent men can accomplish
when they are guided by duty regardless
of class or interest It will devolve on
the court; if the indicted be convicted,
TO sustain the majesty of the law. A
trif1ing with the law encourages con-
tempt for the law and the court.

Talks on Advertising

The average merchant conducting a
local business has not the faintest con-'
ception of the thought and study ap-
piled to advertising by the men who
make millions from general publicity.
What is known among advertisers as
the selling plan is as much talked
about now as the kind of mediums
used 1t is part of every expert adver-
Using campaign. The last issue of
Judicious Advertising tells how Will
lam Wrigley, Jr., began fifteen years
ago with $32 in cash, selling gum which
retails at a penny q stick, and how by
studying out selling plan to combine
with his advertising he now uses ST.
000,O 900 worth Of advertising every year,
has 100000 retail dealers selling his
gum at penny stick, and yet there
is almost 100 per cent profit in it to
the retailer, with another bite left for
the jobber.
After Wrigley had hustled and adj
vertised until he could spend $1,000 in
a single state, he discovered that peo-
pie who went into store and asked
for Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum as the
result of advertising, would accept any
gum recommended by the retailer as
just as good. Gum was so unimportant
a commodity that purchasers would not
chase out of one stoRe to hunt another
where Wrigley's brand was sold. II
was then that Wrfgley studied out a.
country to call on the trade, talk up the
country to cal on the trade. talk up the
gum, and make each dealer a present
