County Road RuXfing.

The county coRs at its recent
term manifested high degree Of
wisdom and modern enterprise, when
it placed an order for three addition
al road machines for use in the coun-
". One was ordered shipped to Ten
mile district, another to Grant, and
the other TO Simpson. Machines
have been in use in some parts of
the county several years and have
proved themselves splendid laborsav-
ing devices. They are also essential
to scientific road-building and should
ever be used to the best possible adj
vantage. They are so valuable that
every caution and care should be
exercised to preserve them and keep
them in good condition In this re-
spect the Telegram fears there has
been negligence in some instances,
hut hopes there win he none in the
future.
Used in a sensible and modern
manner these machines will be the
means of better roads. Surveyors,
however, are largely responsible for
their use and the responsibility for
the condition OF the roads is largely
upon the surveyors, indeed, far more
so than upon the county court un-
der the present road system, though
in certain senses the court can care
fully protect the roads from destruc-
ton. The court can do little to
build them but it can do great deal
to protect and preserve them.
Road building time is near az
hand and surveyors who have per-
sonal charge of the roads should
give Jealous attention to the work
of repair and building. The ma
chimes are vaiueless unless properly
used. The surveyors should all be
with this fact and should
put forth earnest efforts to get the
best possible ont of the machines.
IN sections where more than the
good dirt road is essential only the
very best quality OF stone obtain
able should be used and this should
be in a scientific manner. Those
who find their roads in worse shape
than others should take the pains to
learn how the other fellows do it 4
and emulate them to the best of
their ability. and. even those who

Editors in this section of the
country have been publishing warn
ings to the people to beware of a
bogus ten dollar bill that is reported
to be in circulation. OF course they
do not actually know that the bogus
bills are in circulation, as they rare
ly have the opportunity of seeing
money of such large denomination,
but in the spirit of philanthropy for
which they are noted they publish
the warnings for the benefit of the
people.

Also In the matter Of road repair

Freak Legislation.

Much condemnation has been heap
ed upon the freak bill which always
finds its way into Etate legisla-
ture. Censure is sometimes deserv-
ed and sometimes the bills are so ut
terly absurd that reproval is deemed
superfuous. The latest freak bill
considered by the Wisconsin legisla-
ture would appear to come under the
latter designation.
The legislature of the Badgeri
State has been having considerable
fun and amusement out of ans anti
tights measure that is taken up, re-
viewed, discussed and sent back to
some committee or other, when the
routine proceedings become TOO mo-
notonous. When the bin was last
taken up 1t provided for the wear
ing OF skirts by actresses that should
be at least four inches below the
knee in length, the wearing Of
cloaks by feminine performers when
the temperature Of the play house is
below 70 degrees and exclusion Of
bald headed men from the front row
when such cloaks are not worn. On
further consideration of the measure
1t was decided to change the clause
regulating the length Of the skirts
worn by actresses TO four inches
above the knees instead of four
inches below which indicated that
appreciation of the beauties of the
human form divine had not alto
'sGTfsr died away in The bosoms of
the stern and dutious lawmakers OF
Wisconsin.
To prove the utter absurdity and
futiiity OF the proposed law it need
only to be pointed out that It at
tempts to change law of nature.
It provides for a physical impossi-
bility. The solons of Wisconsin
might as well enact legislation to
make water run up hill as to try to
keep the bald-headed men out of the
front row of an opera house when az,
interesting performance is going on.
And If the bald-heads be permitted
TO stay in their seats and see the per-
formers, when the temperature is 70
degrees Fahrenheit, what would hap
pen If they sould bribe the janitor
TO fire up the furnaces and make the
temperature Of the auditorium, say
IS degrees? Then again the pro-
posed law does not stipulate jus,
where the skirts shall be worn by the
actresses. IN order to keep within
the requirements Of the law they
might actually wear the regulation
skirts but not bring about the con-
vention and modesty the solons are
aiming at.
1t appears that the freak anti
tights bill win be snugly resting in
some ont of the way pigeon hole
when the Wisconsin legislature adj
iourns and that it has been used only
as means of mental relaxation by
the delegates to somewhat relieve
the strain occasioned by abstract
study and close application devoted
to the mass Of dry and uninteresting
legal lore the representatives arc
compelled 10 undergo IN their legrs-
lative deliberations. That seems to
be the province Of the freak bill |
anyway.

burg is quite well supplied with in
dustries, but has room for many
more and seeks them eagerly and
earnestly. Already have steps been
taken toward Industrial expansion.
Some Of the more important plants,

Grasselli chemical works and the Ma
tional Carbon company. are just COM
pleting large additions and at the
chemical works another large addi-
ton has been ordered. These three
industries are not the only ones,
however. that are making improve

doing the same thing, and among
the new ones In course of erection
are the South Penn shops and the

Tuna glass plant in early prospect
Also the board Of trade is alert to
opportunities and has several very
good propositions on.
These conditions as brief resume
of the industrial and commercial
