 ROADS.
 In commenting on the remarkable work that has recently been done by rural free delivery mail carriers mounted on Motorcycles, the Omaha World Herald makes the following long distance forecast: Rural free delivery is one of the conveniences that have been revolutionizing coun- try life in the last few years. The daily mail is an important factor in keeping the country resident in touch with the big world and mak- ing him feel less the isolation that his distace from town formerly inn posed, and any improvement in the rural mail service is sure to be re- ceived with eagerness. If a man on a motorcycle can deliver a given quantity of mail over country roads in one quarter the time it would take to do it horseback or by cart, the sight of him is going to be most welcome But if the motorcycle Is adopted as the conveyance of the rural carrier, it is easy to see that the change will entail. another i'm provement, and that is better coun- try roads. The motorcycle can go where the automobile cannot, because it is lighter and car take a winding course to keep on the dry or solid places. but it cannot run in the mire. Two benefits are therefore likely to come with the mail man on the wheel"

SPRINGFIELD RACE WAR.

Never has there been a better illus tration of the horrors of mob law than in Springfield. Illinois, where an archy reigned for several days al most under the dome of the capitol of one of the greatest sovereign states of the union.
 It is useless during this hour of fevered excitement, to discuss the moralities of the case, the rights and the abuses of the negroes and the whites, respectively, or the matter of provocation. All these things have been written about in connection with previous similar incidents, until fur ther comment is but the repetition of an old story It is likewise profitless to refer to the disgrace cast upon a grand old commonwealth. But there is a phase of the case which teaches a lesson that all should heed and t.at is the futility of all efforts to permanently better an undesirable condition by resorting to mob vio- lence. Better than any other, the Springfield incident teaches that those who sought vengeance were themselves the worst sufferers.
 Of the lives snuffed out during the period of lawlessness and of the scores who were maimed and wound ed by far the greater number were whites who were not concerned in the original trouble, and many Of them were at no time engaged on either side of the conflict, being merely innocent bystanders who, if the dispatches may be relied upon, could not escape the fury of the ri oters. Some became involved through the dicharge of their sworn duty in their efforts to prevent lawlessness, thus arOusing the antagOnism of the unreasoning ruffians. But whatever the provocation and whatever the moralities of the incident it has been clearly shown that it did not pay. Both sides got the worst of it and the greatest sufferers were those who defend their actions by the untenable plea that they sought to better an intolerable condition.

RECOGNIZE THE EVENT

The Republican suggests that every business man who is equipped to do so, or who can easily so equip him self, decorate his establishment with bunting and the national colors on Saturday next, in recognition of the meeting of the republican territorial convention in this city. It would be entirely fitting also for the officials housed in the city hall and the coun- ty court house to spread their ban 7 ners on the outer walls.

Bid Boats Built of Cement.

The most wonderful use to which cement has been adapted is the con struction of boats, Italy leads the world in this use of cement, and from the illustrations appearing in the September Popular Mechanics one obtains an idea of the prOpor- tions the industry has assumed. One of the boats is a 100-ton govern ment barge which has proved so sue cessful that the Italian government has ordered six more. Its length is fifty-one feet, breadth, sixteen feet.

The news that the lake above the Roosevelt dam was ten miles long and in one place five miles wide, a few days ago, is gratifying to resi- dents of this valley though it may be a little inconvenient for travellers in those parts for a while. It dem onstrates that the influence of the big dam is already felt by the river and more than ever assures the peo- pie that actual water storage, or at least river regulation will begin next winter It is also proof that the or dering of a ferry boat by the re- clamation service several weeks ago, was done none too soon. There is apt to be urgent need for it as soon as it can be put into commission.

The sample of Candidate Sherman's speechmaking talent given to the people on Tuesday indicates that the tankage of his language reservoir is much smaller than that of MT. Roosevelt, or even that of Mir Taft. but the supply is sufficent for all practical purposes. He demonstrated very satisfactorily that the republican platform was constructed entirely to his liking and that he is plenty big enough to hold down one end of it even against such a heavyweight as the presidential candidate.

INSPECTION OF sARoEs.
Bill introduced BY Senator Frye and
Representative Greene.

Washington, April s.-During the
past two years 60 large sea-going
barges have been lost, involI ing the
death OF 40 persons out of 192 on
board. There are only about 45O sea-
going barges and the exceptional NOR
tally rate has led to the introduction
Of a bill by Senator Frye Of Maine
and Representative Greene Of Mas
sachusetts for the inspection of such
barges, many OF which are old ships
and barks, dismantled, laden with coal
and towing along the coast.
The bill requires that the hulls OF
sea-going barges of over 100 tons shall
be inspected annually and that each
barge shall be equipped with at least
one life boat and one anchor, and
with one life preserver for every per-
son on board. The bill also empowers
the secretary Of commerce and labor
to regulate the length of such lows on
coast waters, where they are a menace
to incoming and outgoing ocean steam
ships and to sailing vessels. Secre-
tary Straus, 1t is stated. favors this
legilation.

Any Contradiction

Claims Of Cooper.
Manhattan Island In q Furry Over
Wis Visit.

New York April 8.-The excitement
incident to the remarkable work that
is being accomplished in this city by
L. T. Cooper, of Dayton, Ohio. con-
tinues undated Many cases Of deaf
ness of years standing have been re-
lieved by the young man, and his fame
has spread far and wide. AS result
his headquarters are crowded daily
with people coming from all parts Of
the city and from the surrounding
towns within radius of twenty-five
miles.
There seemed to be considerable
skepticism at first as to CoOper's abil-
ity to do as he claimed, but this feel
ing is rapidly giving way to one OF
confidence, in view of the fact that
the work he has SO far done has been
clearly proven to be genuine.
In addition to his work in relieving
deafness, Cooper advanced the theory
that stomach trouble was the founda-
ton of nine out of ten diseases. and
claimed to have a preparation that
would restore the stomach to working
order, and thus get rid of such
troubles as rheumatism and affections
of the kidneys and liver in about two
weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prep
aration, and now all Gotham is appar-
emily mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble a verita-
BILE stampede Thousands of people
are visiting him each day, and the
druggists are selling his medicines in
enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac-
tees extensive charitable work, and
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last it is hard to esti-
mate At present there seems to be
no sign of a let-up. Physicians claim
it to be a fad that will die out as soon
as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he already seems to have
accomplished great deal for the sick
of this city with his preparations.
