AMERICAN HUSBANDS
ARE SLAVES, SHE SAYS
French Woman Asserts Men Here Are
Only Manipulating Machines

Despised

PARIS, Oct. pa French woman has
contributed her impressions of America to
the Paris Matin. Among other things she
says:
'I used to believe that slavery was
abolished, but have learned in New York
that this is not the case Helots still ex-
list in the persons of American husbands.
From their earliest years they are ap-
prenticed to their hard lot by being made

American boys have to give way to every
caprice of the American girl. Fer woman
in America is despot to be feared she
has taken the place of the idol of stone or
wood to which the redskins offered human
victims.
A Money-Ma aking Machine
"a husband in the eyes of an American
wife is a mahcine for making money. He
has no other reason for existence, while
her part consists in spending what he
makes.
ASK any young girl engaged to some
fine young fellow of moderate means how
she has passed some holiday with hei
lover, and she will tell you triumphantly
I've made him spend so many dollars

never a pleasure to an American woman
That the poor man in a single day has
seen months earnings disappear is

sets forth to business early in the morn

time to swallow a glass of milk without
even sitting down at the nearest bar; his
time belongs to the idol, he has no righ

sonal needs. a.

American wife being willing TO endure
the work of keeping house. And then his
wife will give him for little relaxation
her silk or wool combinations to wash IN
the wash basin, these being all the under

about $500; she, meanwhile, at ease In
rocking chair, remains deep In the delights

.'The worst result is that having re-
duced their husbands to slavery, Ameri-

siayes-which is natural. They reproach
their husbands with being fit FOR nothing
but material work, while 1t Is they who

Country Roads in America
BY FREDERICK J. HAskIN.

it up. In fifteen years New YORK mad
1000 miles of plank roaG, and other
states were building them as fast
as they could. The cost was usually
about $4,000 a mile, and the farmers
and merchants were saved more than
that in the long run. However, plank
wore out readily and timber ceased
to be a nuisance.
Then attention was turned to mac
adam and telford. In the past quar-
ter century the government took
hand in the road building question
and established bureau or road in
quiry with the late Roy Stone as di-
rector Realizing that Indifference to
improvement and ignorance of the fun
damental principles of bodybuilding
caused most of the bad roads in the
country, the government set about
giving object lessons in the proper
structure of thoroughfares. Six years
ago the first trainload or machinery
for experimental stations was sent out
from Washington. 1t passed from
state to state, stopping wherever there
was an expressed desire from the cit
liens to learn how to improve their
roads In the short time that has
elapsed a general improvement in
country highways has been marked.
Last year seventeen roads were built
in this fashion in eleven different
states. and demonstrated 20 the peo-
pie of each section the possibilities in
The nearest road building materials,
and the advantage of straight roads,
more gradual slopes and careful at
tention to drainage. The materials
used were widely varied, ranging
from limestone, granite, chert and
schist, to Stag, clam and oyster shells.
gravel and sand-c1ay. In California
much encouragement is given the use
of petroleum on clay and sand roads,
treatment that results IN d surface
like asphalt.
The problem is greatest in the Mis-
sissippi valley, where the alluvial soil
is apparently bettomless in the win
ter months, and there is no available
building material within reasonable
transporting distance. Corduroy roads
haH been the last resort for years,
but the expense of building and re-
pairing them has be>1I great. Now,
through careful experiment, it has
been demonstrated that the roadbed
and nearby fields may furnish the
materials for the necessary surface
dressing. Buckshot mud and ''gumbo'
clay can be converted into clinkers
of sufficient hardness to bear the
weight of loaded vehicles and to with
stand the action of water, and, more
over. this burning can be done on the
roadbed with wood gathered from the
plentiful supply in the forests nearby
This clinkered clay spread on a road
bed of ordinary clay has stood the test
of weather and traffic, and including
every item of cost can be made, in
the prairie countries at total cost
of 81 500 a mile. Mississippi has at
present over $4,000 miles of roadway,
of which only about $50 miles have
been improved, making her percentage
| of improved roads lowest of all in the
United States, except Louisiana,
which has only one mile of modern
roadway to carry 10000 inhabitants
This is chiefly due in both Instances
to the fact that the best known road
making materials were not available
and the supply of road money not

enough to cover the great expense OF
importing gravel or stone.
Massachusetts has the greatest per-
centage of improved roads, 40 per
cent. of her thoroughfares being
paved by some modern process. rms
allows one mile of good road for
every 357 inhabitants. Rhode Island Is
second, with 43 per cent and lndl-
ana ranks next, with So per cent, one
mile for every los people within her
borders. In all the United States has
now about 10000 miles of improved
roadway in her many hundred million
miles of highways, that cross and re-
cross the states and territories. The
earliest were maintained by the pri-
vate individuals through whose land
they led. Then the town, the county
and the state took up the matter of
their building and support The roads
are usually supported by a property
and labor tax, and are under the jul
risdiction of county or town officers
In the South convict labor has been
utilized to a great extent in road
building, North Carolina and Tennes-
see being especially able to prove
the efficiency of such labor in several
instances. 1t is a generally accepted
theory in that section that the best
way in which criminal may buy his
moral redemption is to build highways
that will bring education, ai:u conse-
quently morality, within the reach of
the rest of the world. Charles Sum-
ner is responsible for the assertion
that the road and the schooimaster
are the two most important agents in
advancing civilization"
AS far back as 1894 the question
of the wide tire was earnestly dis
cussed. On the Lancaster turnpike
the law was rigid in regard to the
amount of freight a narrow-tired wag-
on might take in bad weather, and
on other roads wagons with tires over
six inches wide were allowed to go
free of toll because it was considered
that they packed the road and were
a great benefit. When broacned in
various legislatures the matter of
changing tires has produced many
storms. The cost to the farmer has
been made a great reason for the kill
ing of the measure requiring wider
tires, and the loss TO the manufacturer
has also been made a point. There
are possibly $4,000 wagons now in use
in each agricultural state, and it is
estimated that the cost of altering the
tires would be $40 each. Massachu,
sets has argued that this million dol
lars so expended might better be
placed in the building of roads that
required no special kind or tire On its
surface. Thirteen states, the Philip
pines and Hawaii have legislation of
some kind affecting the width of
tires.

Certainly this is clear. He who
runs may read. Mr.. Bryan said this
years ago. Bryan was denounced as
an anarchist by the predatory rich

Mr.. Taft's speech in advance and ap-
proved it-every word OF it, so We

But something else ails Taft. he
has said something more. The secre-
tary seems to think the states have
some rights to control corporations
some police powers, ana that it is
up to the states to exercise them.

dangers of too great an accumulation
of wealth in one hand by controlling

That has the true ring to it. and

Wall Street Values
And Legitimate Business.

In his regular weekly financial
letter, Henry Clews, the Wall Street
9inancier says: Wall street has en-
dured a shrinkage in values far ex-
,ceeding that of any panic on record,
and the market is in a hypersensi-
tive condition, investors and specula-
/ tors alike being naturally mere or
hess frightened at the anti-corpora-
'Ftion crusade"
And yet with all this, every legiti-
mate industry in the country is pros
.pering and indications are that all
will continue to prosper. Nothing
but speculative interests-those built
on wind and Paper-have been hurt.
If .shrinkage in values far exceed
ing that Of any panic on record" can
1ranspire in Wall street without any
appreciable effect on the country at
darge-as is really now the case
why should those engaged IN honest
, businesses and creative industries
have any fear of that 'anti-corpOra-
rion crusade" which IS directed sole
lily against those organizations whose
F5usineSs is To get money that they
have not earned?
