they are often told by the union off

Early in life many colored youth is
so appalled, by the helpiessness and
the hopelessness of his situation in
this country that in a sort Of stoical
despair he resigns himself to his
fate. What is the good of our trying

all be preachers, teachers, doctors
and lawyers. Besides these profes-
sions there is almost nothing for col

most mental occupations and we do
not need an education for that"
More than once such remarks, uttered
by young men and women in our pub

Why Briar Wood Is Scarce.

WOrsnipers of MY Lady Nicotine
who are thinking Of repIenishing their
pipe rack in view of the coming fes-
tive season will do well not to tarry,
for we hear that the price of the
briar root is to be raised twenty per
cent, and this almost Immediately.
The news was confirmed recently by
]. S. Weingot, the Fleet street tobac
tOnist. The increase in the price of
goods" explained Mr. Weingott, lis
chiefly due to the advance in ire
price of labor and the recent strikes
that took place on the Continent, es-
pecialIy at st. Cloud, in France, which
is the center of the trade in cheap
briar root pipes. Briar, as it is
known, or to give it its correct name,
bruyere,' comes chief from Italy
and Corsica, and the late earthquake
and volcanic erupt1ons have ruined
hundreds of acres of plantations in
the Campania and other parts Of cen
trail and southern Italy. Hence the
scarcity of the wood at the present
time, and, as an inevitable conse-
quence, the coming increase in price. .

MORE MONEY FOB ROADS.

The city of Superior and the county
of Douglas desire greater liberty IN
the appropriation of money for the
construction of good rural roads. The
county board of Douglas county, at a
special meeting unanimously adopted
a resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the board that it would be
greatly to the advantage of the
county if a larger sum than is Il w
authorized by law could be raised an
nuaIly for building and repairing
county roads.
Section 1903, revised statutes, pro
vides that counties may annually levy
$4,000 for roads, and chapter 242, laws
of 1903, adds an additional amount
not exceeding one-quarter of a mill on
the assessed valuation.
1t is the sense of the board that
such sums are quite inefficient to do
good road work, and that the law OF
1903 should be amended, or a new law
enacted, to allow the levy of a larger
amount, say a sum not exceeding two
mills on the valuation, leaving it op'
tional with county boards to annually
raise such sum, within that amount
as the circumstances and needs Of the
county might demand. The resolu-
ton recites that good roads will pro
mote immigration, enhance values OF
farm lands and produce, give the
people Of city and county better &C
cess to each other for their mutual
benefit, and also tend to reduce the
cost of living in the city and thus en-
courage the location Of manufacturing
enterprises.
To secure an amendment to the
laws by which counties will be granted
power to raise an adequate road fund
the board invites the cooperation OF
county, town and village boards and
city councils, and of the newspapers.
commercial bodies and all interested
in the growth and development of the
state, and in the promotion Of the
movement for good roads now so gen
eral in all parts Of the United States.
Immediate action is urged, to be eff
fective while the legislature is in ses-
sion. The cause is worthy of the
best attention OF the law-givers By
no possibility can any wider con-
cession to stimulate the construction
of better highways in country dis
tricts be a mistake Money invested
in roads scientifically built is bound
to return large dividends.

NEW IDEA.
Suggested That Railroads Should Ad-
vertise Their Freight Service.


Vertise Their Freight Service.
At a special meeting of the general
agents of a western road held recent
Iy in Chicago one agent wanted to
know why the companies had never
advertised their freight service and
why it would not pay as we'll in this
department as to advertise the pas
.senger department.
The question seems to have never
before suggested itself to many traf-
fic men. In the past the freight de-
partment has benefited by advertising
done by the passenger department In
that the road has been made known
to the public, but the freight service
proper has never been advertised. Ad-
vertising agents have told about the
palatial limited, about cut rates on
tourist business and about everything
calculated to induce people to travel.
They have never told about fast
through freight trains, however, or
about the railroads facilities for
handling business or about the num-
| Der of trains offered each day to the
shipper. All this has been left for
the shippers to find out in their own
way, sometimes a rather awkward
one at that.
A railroad reduces a freight rate
but the public never hears about 1t
in the newspapers. A railroad dis.
covers a new tourist resort on it's
line, and the black type is called into
play. The pages of the newspapers
fairly scream the wonder and attract
iveness of the Rockies, the Yellow
stone, the great lakes, the southern
and northern winter resorts. Folders
posters and pamphlets are issued to
supplement the newspaper advertis
ing. No man ever saw folder ad
vertising the freight service of a rail
road.
The discussion that followed the
asking of the question in this partic
ular instance seemed too one sided
and the railroad men present de
clared that the freigth service of that
particular road should be advertised;
that in the new cash advertising con
| tracts to be made the freight depart
ment should receive it's share of at
| tention.-Topeka (Kan.) Journal.
