A LESSON IN ROAD IMPROVE
MENr.

Illustration of what can be done IN
the way OF road improvement al
small cost Is to be found In Warwick
county, where the supervisors, as
sisted by Mr.. l.. b. Manville, sup
rintendent OF the Old Dominion Land
Company. have converted roads tina:
were well nigh impossible into well
kept highways that will compare
favorably with any In the state.
Under the new conditions driv,
or automobile ride from this city to
Morrison and on to Denbigh is a de-
light instead OF the nuisance 1t used
to be. And the transformation has
been brought about with remarka
bly, small outlay Of money.
Good judgment in the matter OF
the selection Of material. thee EN-
ployment OF men, the time to WORK
and how to work counted for a great
deal In the improvement of the War
wick roads. and maze 1t possible to
accomplish so much with such a
small amount Of cash.

gratitude to the supervisors and Mr.,
Manvslle, for good roads in the sur

ALWAYS, are gone and their reception
and contents forgotten. Both the
senator's mind and his records are
blank so far as these important pap
ers are concerned.
There has been so much OF this
sort OF thing OF late years that the
public acce pts its employment as the
last resort OF the leader of a forlorn
hone, and the discordant requiem OF
an unrighteons cause.
The most notable feature OF Sena-
tor Forakers statement really is the
clause treating OF the probable &C.
ton of the negro voters on election
day. His assertion that. mo self.
respecting negro can vote for Taft
without feeling that he Is making a
greater sacrifice than most men.

may be taken as tantamount to an
appeal to the senator's negro friends
and admirers to vote against Mr..
Taft.
What Influence this will have with
the negro electorate Is uncertain. but
there can be little doubt as to the
motive when he made U.s.

Next month the city council will
be requested TO appropriate abon'
$500 to assist In defraying the ex'

This is worthy cause and the coun-

THE ELIMINATION OF HASKELL

That Governor Haskell would be
Obliged to surrender the position Of
treasurer Of the Democratic national
committee, has for several days been
foregone conclusion.
Those who were at first inclined
to believe that the assaults upon the
facts. were obliged ultimately to re-
governor were without justification in
model their opinions ard to admit
that his retention as a conspicuous
figure in Mr.. Bryan's campaign would
prove injurious. and perhaps disas-
trous. to Democratic chances for sue
cess.
The late treasurer injured himself
materially. and at the same time. de-
ceived many who were disposed to
defend him. by Indignantly denying
that he was the Haskell against
whom charges Of conspiracy were
brought in Ohio several years ago. He
insisted SO vigorously that 1t vas a
case Of mistaken identity. SO to
speak. that thousands OF people. in
disposed toward hasty judgment.
were a. least partially convinced.
Proof of the guilt OF the aecusei
vas not needed to turn away from
the governor those who had tried to
stick by MIN. They ceased to be-
lievc in him the very moment they
learned tina, the Oklahoma official
was. in fact. the man he had dcni' d
being.
The question Of his guilt or limo
cence Of the charges preferred in
Ohio was not the vital point which
convicted Governor Haskell at the
bar OF public opinion o, unh;ness for
his high Office in the party council
The deception to which he descended
ltogethcr xith the unear,hing Of hith
srto unknown past transactions Of
his. Ia the capacity OF promoter o'
questionable railroad enterprises ans
the like. made up a case strons
enough to demonstrate Mr.. Haskcli''

LaPorte, Ind, May 1l.-All roads
in LaPorte county led to the Guinness
farm yesterday, more than lo,OO0
sightseers visiting the place OF death
before the sun had set
Practically every able-bOdied resi-
dent of this city had made the trip,
and the railroads and trolley lines
brought about 4,OOG more to the clty.
Mayor DarrOw found 1t necessary TO
issue stringent orders that the Sun
day closing laws should be strictly en-
forced, and the hotels and restaurants
were Oyerrun with patrons.
Practically every conveyance in the
town was pressed into service In an
attempt to provide accommodation TOR
the crowds. In the afternoon these
proved insufficient. and late comers
were forced to make their way TO the
place on foot.
Investigation OF the case by the au-
thOrities halted, the sherim and other
officials who went to the farm being
compelled to become mere spectators
also.
Many cntcrprising individuals took
advantage OF the occasion and put up
sideshOws near the farm and nmuse-
ments OF other kinds to entertain the
crowds when they had tired OF going
over the farm. A ball park was ar
ranged and n game pulled oil. Admis-
sion fees were charged for all these
amusements, There were also many

Salt Lake City, May lin fur
therance of a movement to defeat the
alleged rapacity Of middlemen, the
leading wool growers of the state will
meet at the Commercial Club and pool
their 1908 clip.
Through a committee they have ar
ranged to borrow upon all wool that
is stored in warehouses in Boston 60
per cent of its market value. The
initial loan will run or six months and
will draw a low rate of interest.
The sheepmen expect to sell direct
ly to manufacturers and save the
large percentage of profit which, they
claim, has been absorbed. by the
brokers and buyers.
Utah's wool deposit this year will
be about 100000 pounds. Sheep
men in other range states of the west
approve the plan ard the storage and
direct sale system may become gen.
