The Public Roads.
The Law Responsible for
their Bad Condition--Re-
medy Suggested.

tulating you on your splendid
paper and for the brave stand
you have taken for the improve
ment of conditions i'm the citv
ana county of Lancaster, l beg
leave to say few words in re-
gard to our public roads. It is not
my purpose at this time 10 call
your attention to the miserable
condition of the roads; you and
the public are well informed "a
to that. We are ali agreed tina,
our roads are in bad shape, but
we differ as to the cause and the
remedy. It is amusing to hear
the excuses offered for the con-
dition of the public roads. Some
say it is because the Supervisor
IS not doing his duty, others
blame the road hands and their
overseers, still others claim that
the real cause of the trouble is
the carelessness and inefficiency
OF the grand jury in allo wing the
Supervisor to neglect the matter
OF having the roads properly
worked but there are MANY
who, like your humble scribe, at
tribute the cause to our perni-
cious and unjust road law. Then,
as remedy, would suggest
Especially as our law makers
are slow to pass reformatory
measures unless they are popu-
lar with the masses) that the peo-
pie be led to know something
OF the great value OF good roads
and their relation to human hap
piness aud progress. Let them
think over the wickedness Of our
unjust road law. Then, | believe
there will be such a demand for
good roads, by just means, that
our representatives i'm the House
and the Senate, and perhaps in
the National congress, will be
found championing their cause ;
and then those shameful statutes
which place the burden of road
work principally upon the far
mers, great majority of whom
do not own any land and the poor
laborlng classes who own no stock
and scarcely ever get to drive
over the roads unless it be in the
capacity of a servant, will be re-
pealed A more humane and
equitable law will then be enact
ed, one that, by means of taxa.
tion, will place the burden of ex-
pense more largely upon the rich
and the well-to-do, upon those
own the railroads, the factories
and all the land and coua-
try. There are many among
these that would not object to
such arrangement, for they know
that they have attained financial
success largely through the pa
tronage and support OF their more
unfortunate brethren. They
know, also, that they will reap
their full share of the blessings
and benefits that will accrue from
a better condition of The public
roads; and they realize that all
classes of people suffer on ac-
count of the bad condition of the
7oads, unless it be the black smith
and the horse dealer. Success to

 SKUNK
Sam Watts of Tombstone Stuff CTS From Attack of Animal Which Had CraWIed Up On Him While Asleep.
Special to Review.)

| ToMBSONE. April 15.-Sam Watts pfospector who, with his partner Billy Tomliason, went to some claims they own in the Dragoon Mountains on Saturday, returned to this city this morning suffering from the bite of hydrophobia skunk. and this eve ming departed for Chicago to enter the Pasteur Institute.
 On Saturday morning Watts and Tomlinson left Tombstone, taking the usual prospector's outfit, prepared to work for several weeks on their claims When night came on the men unrolled their blankets and turned in, falling to sleep in a short time, being tired with the exertion of the day. The night air was cold and be fore retiring the men had built a fire of Jwigs, and placed a can contain ing some beans on the fire to get partly cooked before morning.
 Along about 2 o'clock in the mcrn- ing Watts awoke, and decided to take a look at the beans, and replenish the fire. Just as he was about to raise himself, a hydroprobia skunk, which had been lying beside his head, fastened its teeth in his nose He yelled, awakening his partner, who beat 1t on, finally killing it
 On account of the darkness it was impossible to find the horses, which had been turned loose, and Watts was forced to wait until daylight, when he secured one of the animals and rode into Tombstone
 He at once went to Dr. Sloan, who did everything possible to cauterize the wound, which vas bleeding pro- fusely. When the treatment was fin ished pr. Sloan stated that he did not expect any i'll effects, but to avoid any possible chance of contracting the dread disease. he advised Watts to start at once for Chicago, and re- ceive the Pasteur treatment Tie wounded man left on the evening train

It is understood that the Calumet E Arizona interests of Bisbee and Michigan are the buy CTS of the Swansea.

 ID CAMPAIGN
Protectors of Chicago Received Word From Chief to HDig Up" for Campaign and as Usual Did So.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Chicago's DO lice contributed thousands of dollars to the Democratic campaign fund in the recent mayoralty campaign, and had contributed in a like manner to whichever party was in power, as long as the elder officers of the force can remember. according to a reve- lation made today to the civil service commission by police officials.
 Among the officers who offered tes- timony to the commission were h. spectors Revere and Kelly, Captain McSweeney and Lieutenant Jenkins McSweeney several days ago refused to talk on the subject, but freely con fessed today that he had aided in the collection of large amounts of money to be used in the recent campaign.
 According to the civil service com mission every man who was engaged in the collection of funds and even every policemtn who has contributed is liable to indictment by the grand jury under the civil service act. One of the section provides that any per sons disregarding any of the provis- ions of the law shall be fined not less than S1 900 and may be impTis- oned in the county jail not to exceel six months The commission has an nounced its intention to sift the mat ter to the bottom, but 1t is said it will not prosecute the unaer officials who it is asserted only carried out the command of Chief of Police Collins

KIRK ASKED FUR HOME RULE IN
 ARIZONA
-BiSbee Editor Asks Recogni-
 ton of Arizona Republican CIub-Foraker Holds Out Encouragement to Arizona,

R. A. Kirk, manager of the Bisbee Evening Miner, returned Sunday evening fom a trip to eastern points, during which time he visited New Orleans. Washington, D. C.. and New York While away, Kirk, who is chairman of the Republican County Central Committee. and the recogniz- ~ed boss of Republican politics in this section, interviewed President Roose- welt and other national party leaders, with view to securing for Arizona Republicans the initiative on their Sown part in the coming presidential . campaign Heretofore it has been the practice of the national leaders to send to Arizona a man who would dictate the policies and plans of the Administration. The local party ieau- <ers have had their heads together and now wish to be consulted with. rather sthan dictated to, in the matter of the political policy and practice.
 That he secured the ends at which he aimed, is not claimed by MT. Kirk, but he feels that step has been talk zen in the right direction and has been given the assurance that his propo- sition for home rule'' will at least receive the consideration of the big Scick and his capital conferers.
 But perhaps the really interesting =aprt of Mir. Kirk's visit lies is his interview with Senator Foraker, who win ever be remembered by Arizon- -ans as a leader among republicans In the fight for the preservation Of the individuality of Arizona in the last congress. Foraker has assured Kirk tls@t ..s-:zona need not fear for the future. for Arizona has won her light for the present and he does not look forward 10 a repetition of the struggle -enacted during the last congress.
 Foraker is quoted as saying to Mr. Kirk anent this subject: Arizona need not fear Her fight is won. She has even more members, both in the honse and the senate, with her than she had before
 s.yes. I met the president said MT. Kzrk to the reporters query as to whether he met the Big Stick" and Lad a very pleasant interview with Ehfrn. We talked over the general DO litieal situation in the territory and Mir. Roosevelt showed an amazing grasp of the industrial situation out here.
 .sThere is little doubt hat he will be put forward by a strong backing for a third term. but he will meet with great opposition from certain sources. That matter will not be set. tied until hhe Ohio conference IS over
 Speaking of the social side of his ftaIk with the president, Mir. Kirk -seemed impressed with the joviality of the chief executive and dwells with feryor on the rugged simplicity with which Teddy enters into the funny -side of things. ssHe told me all about that dinner at which were yiesenl Ben Daniels, Ambassador Bryce aud 6 few other of such notables," said Kirk. and he laughed till the table and chairs shook when he explained Tow he poked fun at Daniels just be fore they sat down to the table witf the other big guns.

at the feet of the other guests while we were at the table, said Roosevelt, when telling me about it, and then he laughed till it was catching" said Kirk, in relating this part of his visit to the White House.
 While Kirk respectfully leaves out
 any reference to it. it is imagined that he got view of the peariy teeth
 and the Roosevelt smile. Kirk will now be the center of at traction in Arizona hotel lobbies

Observations Jfa
Macon Traveller.

Oglethorpe, Ga, May 15.-Pas
sengers on the A. B. & A. from
Cordele to Oglethorpe were discus
sing the splendid equipment OF the
road. The day was warm, but
there were electric fans to cool the
cars and at night electric lights,
and in the smoking car metal
scratch pads to strike matches, if
you were inclined to smoke. And
the roadbed was in such condition
that one could write letters from
his car seat.
This brought up the discussion
of the railroad, and the consensus
of opinion was that the fight dur
ing campaigns was on the wrong
line. What W as really needed
was better equipment, better .ac-
commodations for the money paid.
But the demand was not on the
line of better service, but the de-
mand was made urgent, insisrtent,
Aclamorous for lower rates, cheaper
travel. Perhaps t h is method
brought more votes, but as a bust
ness proposition, and the good OF
the public, it had been better to
insist on better equipment and
better service. Not to pay the
roads less money, but get more for
your money.
This program would have stimu-
lated roads to better service, and
saved the roads from the embar
rassment in which they find them
selves by reason of the loss of con-
fidence on the part of the great
leaders.
Capital is timid, very timid.
And the Review of Reviews March
number, tells us all unpleasant
story of t h embarrassment of
Southern roads which wanted to
improve their systems, and build
double tracks to meet the neceSSi
ties of business, so wonderfully
has the South grown in the past
decade.
But when popular clamor tuns
into hysteria, capital sensitive as
the mimosa plant, shuts itself DIP
and withdraws from the market.
Quite a number of new enter
prises in Georgia were the victims
of these conditions. The new road
projecting from Hawkinsville to
Americas was stopped by the fears
capitalists entertained OF public
feeling aroused by political orators
against corporations, especially all
railroad corporations.
And other noted surveys had
been made, going to st. Andrews
Bay, the public demonstrations Of
1906, so filled with alarm t h e
money lenders who back railroad
enterprises that those enterprises
fell through to the detriment of
the people.
We need more railroads, but
the clamor of 1906 said to the con
trary; and the clamorous and non
progressive won in the fight.-Ma-
