THE AVERAGE MAN

AS summed up about correctly by an

dies comparatively poor. lie has not
the faculty for accommodating money;
You could not pass laws enough to
make him rich financially. The excep,
tional man is made to make money;
money seems to stick to his fingers,
and you could not keep him poor. The
history of the man who has lived
an unsullied life and died poor is one
of uneyentfulness. He is generally
generous, hearted, and never aspired
to enrich him self. All he asks is a
decent living, worthily earned-a roof
tree and food and clothing for his
family. Out of his modest earnings,

irgs; he pays his debts; he works hard
and spends little for Injuries. He
seldom complains of his lot, and never
knowingly commits crime against
the state or humanity. He loves much
and laughs more. He may put by a
few dollars for his old age, but oftener
not. When he dies, men say of him
"He was an honest man and a good
citizen. We shall miss him." There
is nothing in it to exploit; just the
story of an average one of the salts
on the earth.
We all know or know him and his

pose. Norman is ever q failure who
has left behind him the influence o.

The Third Term.

Somebody wrote to the New York
Press urging the familiar argument
that Mr.. Roosevelt has been elected
president but once, so that if chosen
again he would be elected for second
and not third term. The Press, while
o%ceding that he has been elected but
once, calls attention to the fact that he
has served since 1901, and continues:
"But the question involved i9 not
one of mere nomenclature, as slick cas-
uistry would have it. 1t is of princi-
pies that apply with equal force to a
condition. whether it be measured as
one term of four years by succession
and two or eight years more by cleo,
ton, or as one term of twelve years, or
twelve terms of one year each, Throu-
ghout history the danger to republican
government has been the withdrawal
of the people from their representative
| functions and the transfer of their du-
ties to a masterful individual under
some sort of guise that affected the col
or of the abandoned raiment. Ia onl
own day, and on this continent, We
have striking example of the abdica
ton of representative government
while preserving asa moekery the form
of it, in the case of Diaz, under the ii
tie of President, but in reality perform
ing the functions of dictator for life
1t is we'll known that the re election
of Mr.. Roosevelt is largely urged OF
the idea that he is the only man in tn
country who can carry out the polio,
which, it is urged. is necessary to thu
prosperity of the United States. Tn
people wish to surrender their func
tons into the hands of one masterfu
individual. What is urged for the mex
term may as we'll be considered neces
sary for all subsequent terms durin

The Question.

An expert statistican has figured
that bad roads cost the people of the
United States $500, 900 600 annually.
II this is true it is high time the ques-
lion receive proper attention. For many
years men have been agitating the the
better building of better roads, but
even those who would be most benefit
ed thereby have been prone to dub
these agitators ''cranks." But the agi-
tation received great impetus with
the avent of the bicycle, and when the
automobile came additional energy
was generated. But the farmers, the
ones most interested from a financial
viewpoint, have been slow to join the
crusade. 1t is estimated by men of
experience in road building that a
macadamized roadway, eighteen feet
wide, may be built for an average cost
of $4,000 per mile the country over.
This presents good opportunity for
some comparative figures The conn
try loses $500, 10000 a year because Of
bad roads. In round numbers 5000,
600, 600 has been appropriated for the
arm%and navy. At $4,000, mile the
money appropriated for the military
government would build seventy thous-
aud miles, macadamized roads thin
the next two years. In ten years
seven hundred fifty thousand miles of
such roadway could be built, aud in
anouther four years the money saved
would give us more for the army and
navy than would have been appropriate
ed 10 the fourteen years nd we vo aid
also have the mac hadamized roads
Statistics are nightly interesting
things when one gets started on them.

ity, emphasizes the point he makes

Plea for the Poor Man.

Reputation is about all the poor
man has. 1t is his chief asset. The
poor man has not the chance for an ac-
quittal that the rich man has," In
these words did Judge George FL. Will
liams instruct the grand jury yester-
day, insisting that men of the poorer
classes must be clearly guilty before
indictments are returned against them.
There is world of wisdom and of
that charity which keeps humanity
from being deyitalized In Judge Will
liam's remarks. His calm and dispas-
sionate admission that it is easier for o
rich man than poor man to be ac-
quilted under the law at once engages
the attention and demands profound
reflection. 1t is one of those unpleas-
ant truths of life which few of us care
to express or have courage to co ntemp-
late; and yet, all men know it to be
true. Justice, blind justice, too oft al

she may be, cannot fly so swiftly as to
escape the venomed dart OF cold mer-
cenary sordidness. Let rich man and
a poor man be guilty of the same of.
Tense; the chances are that the poor
man will pay the penalty of his crime
in prison; that the rich man, by reyer
sails, appeals and new trials, will &c

are myriad of defenders, hot with
resentment, burning with indignation,
ready to prove his innocence But the

''You should be satisfied in your
minds that the accused person is gull
ty, especially if he belongs to the poor
er classes, before you vote indict-
ments, says Judge Williams. Wiser
words never were uttered by judge
on the bench. That epigram of the
streets, "God bless the rich, the poor
can steal, was we'll worthy of the ut
terance of latter day Solomon. In il
is summed up the whole of the philoso
ply of modern life. Growing better
the world may be and probably is, but
