---O$O-------- WATERWAY MEAN BETTER ROADS.

The suggestion given by the post office department that it cannot main tain rural free delivery routes over roads which are not in a Dassable condition, cannot help but give a stim- ulus to road construction, and in- crease the interest in road building throughout the country.
 Prof. w. M. Hays, assistant secre- 'ary of agriculture, who is an en- ti1usiastis advocate of good roads, and an authority on agricultural subjects, sees in the notice issued by the post office department a step toward a comprehensive system of road build ing by county and state authorities correlated to the work now going on under the direction of the department of agriculture, and it's division of good roads.
 It has come to be well accepted that a larger treatment of the waterways of the country, on more comprehen- sive scale, for which the National Rivers and Harbors congress stands, means better roads, and therefore q blessing to the farmers, increased value for his farms and easier move E:ent for his wagons.
 With a comprehensive plan of deal ing with the water highways of the nation on the part of the general gOv- ernment the building of roads would be made much easier than now, for it would be possible to, transport metalling material for roads far dis tances by water, which under exist ing conditions is impossible.

 It is easier to be good than to be bad.
 You have tried both, my brethren. and l appeal ts your personal expe- rience for confirmation of my text Has it not been easier to behave your self and enjoy the fruits of your good behavior than to sin away your day of grace and take the consequences?
 But you do not always behave your self.
 Nor do other people.
 Stop a moment and think it over How strange it is that. after human be- ings have tried both ways of doing and have proved ten thousand times ten thousand times that badness does not pay, yet they go on doing bad things.
 Why?
 You know, my friends. and l know that virtue is so made that it fits into the way the world is, built. And we know that vice is everywhere and al ways misfit. Nevertheless
 We go on everlastingly in the old. old attempt to fit vice into the place made for virtue. Our fingers get pinched in trying. Sometimes we weep over the hurt or the failure.
 Why do we do this. my brethren and friends?
 Surely it is not because of igno rance. We know better. Are we all naturally prone to evil. or is it habit or association or environment or
 There is little use to philosophize. He who tries to find the origin and the impulse to evil will end by doing his thinking in a circle, like a cat chasing her tail, and getting nowhere. But the facts remain, friends. Emerson said, "The devil is an ass." What he meant was that the devil is poor logician. His arguments are fimsy. He is robust liar. He lied eat and be gods. He told them they should not surely die. In other words, he said they could violate the law without being punished for 1t.
 The devil says the same thing today.
 He tells you, my friendly fellow sin ner, that you can do evil and not be caught at it. He tells you you are an I exception to the rule of the universe. You will not suffer the consequences of breaking the moral law. You are l too smart. And
 Though you know he is consum- mate liar and an ass, my dear brother. you take his advice and gulp down the | forbidden fruit ,, Some day. they say, sin will be ex- tinct.
 Maybe.
 When that day comes it will come when all men are so good they will all want to quit shining
 And that time is too far away to do you any good. my brethren. or me.
 Our only chance is to be as good as we can bc here and now. Our only way is to take to heart the world old lesson that it is easie; to be good than bad and quit our meannass. Selah!

TAFT AND GEORGIA.

This talk of Taft carrying Georgia and other southern states, is pluper- feet nonsense,' said Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and national committeeman from Georgia, when visiting Democratic national headquarters at Chicago this week, where he was welcomed by MT. Bry- an. Chairman Mack and others.
 MT. Bryan is just as popular in the south as he ever was," continued Mir. Howell. He will not only get the electoral votes of the southern states, but he will receive as we'll the popa- jorities as large as in former years. have been much amused as the result Of stories in eastern and western pa pers intimating that Georgia will en- list under the banner of the Republi can party this year. Nothing could be further from the truth. Georgia is 9 Democratic state, and we look upon these statements about Georgia drift ing into the Republican party as humor. and poor humor at that. or course. there have been divisions amongst Georgia Democrats in local matters, but this very situation tends to create healthy rivalry and to strengthen the party. There is no division in our ranks when it comes 1 to voting the Democratic ticket. Per sonally. Mir. Bryan is very strdlg in Georgia, and I do not believe there is a Democrat in the state who will not , give him the benefit of his vote.
 Our state election occurs Oct. ', which is month in advance of the presidential election. Mr. Brown our nominee for governor, will have all of one hundred thousand majority AL though John Temple Graves, who is onE of the candidates for the vice presidency on the ticket of the h. dependence party, is Georgian. do not believe that he will poll more than 400 vote~ in the state Four years ago. Thomas E. Watson as the presidential candidate of the Peoples s party, received 22,300 votes. This year his vote will not be so large. Taft's
 vote will oe less than 45,o00 and the Icombined opposition to the Democrat
 lc party in Georgia will not have mocg
 than 75,O00 votes I might say tha, the estimate given here is most lib.

Howell says that he never witnessed a larger or more enthusiastic audience and that it reflected the temper of Georgia Democrats generally. Continuing, he said: This talk of Georgia going Re- publican is all moonshine. It is news paper talk pure and simple and there IS nothing in the political situation in the state to justify it.

Preparing for Big Stock Shipments.

Plans are under consideration for
building extensive stock yards in La
Crosse by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul company in conjunction with
the installation of switch yards. Open
ing of the western extension will mean
heavy business in stock shipments and
the long haul will give some trouble in
an effort to comply with the twenty
eight hour law in regard to feeding and
resting stock enroute. At present the
road has no adequate facilities for rest
ing and feeding stock between Minneap-
oils and Chicago except the sheep feed
ing station at Edgerton, off the main
line. If, as planned. part of these
shipments from the west are to be made
over the southern Minnesota division,
ample room in that city will be neces-
sary The Milwaukee road has ordered
$500 stock cars to be built at the West
Milwaukee shops. The yards will be
equipped to handle large consignments.
1t is expected that at least $4,000 head
will be transported. A full train load of
the new stock cars just out of the shops
we're sent west one day this week.

Hicks July Forecast.

July's first week will be period of
great magnetic and elect c unrest, with
"a reactionary storm period" central be-
tween the 4th and 9th of the month, &C.
cording to the prediction of Irl r. Hicks,
weather prophet and almanac maker.
The storm period will be near the 9th or
9Th, and the 'crisis of electric excita-
ton" will fall on the 9th, according to
Mr.. Hicks. Then, it is predicted, will
come period of GOODNESS, followed by a
regular storm period from the 9th to the
18th of the month.
A reactionary storm period is proph-
esied to become central on the 10Th and
18th of the month, with much warmer
weather and scattering, light rains. The
regular storm period is to be between
the 18th and oath, with threatening
storm clouds and wind storms between
the 21st and 24th. The grain belts,
while they may have ugly storm clouds.
thunder and high winds, will most likely
suffer shortage in rainfall, says the
prediction.
From the Oath to the 9th the weather
is to become cooler and more pleasant,
but reactionary storm period as to set
in by the 9th, becoming central within
three days thereafter.
One Of the most intense hot waves of
the summer is scheduled to occur, Gull
minating about the 26th, if the change
to cooler does not appear generally be-
tween the Oath and 9th.

Connecting the Four Lakes.

The dredging of the Yahara river be-
tween Lake Monona and Waubesa will
in all probability be accomplished this
summer. The matter is in the hands of
the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive
association, which will raise the money
needed for improvement by subscription.
The proposed dredging of the Yahara
between the two lakes is but part of the
scheme to improve the Yahara between
Lakes Waubesa AID Kegonsa.
Although the stream between Lakes
Monona and Waubesa is one and half
miles long, only half mile in it will be
dredged. At the places where dredging
is necessary the water is only three feet
deep Launches which draw over 10
inches of water are unable to pass
through the river. The stream varies in
width from 100 to $50 feet, but it is pro-
posed to dredge width of only thirty
feet and ten and half feet deep. This
will permit of launches of all sizes to
pass from one lake to another.

A Bio Snowfall.

The heaviest fall of snow that ever
took place in England occurred in 1915.
The snow commenced falling on the
10Th of January, 1915, and continued
every day until the 18th of March fol-
lowing 1t covered the earth to such
a depth that passengers, both horse
and foot, passed over gates, hedges and
walls, which had been obliterated by
the white sheet. On the 18th of March
it began to decrease and so by little
and little consumed and wasted away
till the 2Sth of May.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in
1920, the snow falling thirteen days
and nights with little or no intermis-
sion.
One of the heaviest falls on single
day occurred on the 21st of February,
1762, the snow in some places being
from ten to twelve feet deep.

Injunction Refused in the Milton Case.

In the circuit court Monday Judge
Grimm refused to grant the injunction
asked by e. G. MCGOWAN to restrain
John A. Paul and others, officers of the
town of Milton. from paying for certain
cement sidewalks and electric lighting
of the town. Mr.. MCGOWAN represented
by L. e. Gettle, maintained that the
levying of the tax for these improve
ments was illegal, and asked an injunc
ton restraining the town officers from
paying for them. Judge Grimm held
that the tax was not illegal.
The town officers were represented by
M. o. Mouat and B. p, Crossman, who
laid the sidewalks in question, was rep
resented by Attorney John Cunningham
The case has been in the courts fol
nearly year.
