BE A GOOD
ROAD BOOSTER

The more l think of good roads. the
more l want them and that short piece
of Macadam in Jefferson county lead
ing south from Pine Bluff toward
Monticello has increased my enthusi-
asm and made me more eager to see
the road extended on to Monticello
and especially through Lincoln county.
There is only one obstacle in the way
and that is just start and go after the
road. The people Or tax payers, will
have to think, get together, and then
act. The road will pay not only pay,
but pay large dividend. 1t would be
the most economical tax a people ever
did pay. If an individual owned pri-
vate Macadam road from Monticello to
Pine Bluff and charge toll, you would
soon pay enough in that way to buy
the road. There are private roads
and drives in the East owned by in
dividuals who charge toll ard they
are financial success. Why not own
a road that will give you some pleas
ure to drive over; that will save your
teams and not tear your wagon to
pieces and especially one that you can
haul load over. l saw on the Pine
Bluff road last week good teams that
We're pulling themselves to death haul

the same conditions you would not
thought of starting from town with
less than 5000 pounds, and there is nc
question but that you would have
brought it easier and quicker. Let's

TWO CENT RATE
BENEFITS ROADS

Des Moines, Ia, May 2.-Reports to
the executive council from eight Of the
representative railroads in this state
disclose that the 2-cent fare law has
been a benefit rather than detriment
to them. 1t is assumed that the rep
resentatives of the other twenty roads
Will make a similar showing
The eight roads in question enjoyed
net increase of about $3S5,000 in
passenger earnings in the year 1907
as compared with 1906, and suffered
a loss in gross earnings of about the
same amount. This is taken to indi-
cate that companies have gained more
through the oepration OF the 2-cent
fare law during the six months Of it's
existence than was lost by them on
freight traffic and other revenue dur
ing the entire year, despite the fact
that they have much reduced their
passenger train service.
Suit Against Law.
The figures are on Iowa business
exclusively, but the tatives
show the earnings of the companies
passenger fares on all their mileage.
For instance, the Chicago Great West
ern reports passenger earnings of 81
130,S39 in 1907, compared with So.
100000 in 1906.
Suits are pending in the federal
court in Des Moines brought by the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis and the Iow;i
2-cent fare law. Judge Smith Nc
Pherson, at one time, refused to en-
terrain the petitions, for the reason
that the law had not had a trial.
After six months trial the suits
were renewed, but have not been
pressed.
May Drop Litigation.
1t is supposed that they will be
droppd unless it becomes the policy
lot the railroad companies, as suspect
ed by the friends of Gov. Cummins. to
fight all the regulative laws passed
by Iowa in 1907 after the sensational
primary of June ? has passed, using
the Minnesota case as basis.

SHOCKED AT BOURNE DEATH

Presldent Arthur T. Hadley with Mrs, Hadley arrived in New Haven yesterday afternoon about 8 o'clock after several months stay in Ger many where Dr. Hadley held the Roosevelt .professorshlp at the Uniyer- slty of Berlin. Because of the pouring rain ard the fact that the hour of Dr. Hadleys' arrival was unknown, there were no students at the station to meet the president and he was driven im- mediately to his home and from there to the funeral of Professor Bourne.
 Because of the services at Profes- sor Bourne's home yesterday afternoon there was no demonstration by the students This afternoon at 1.20 o'clock there will be a mass meeting of the students at the university campus be- tween Woodbridge and Woolsey hall and President Hadley is expected to deliver a short address in response to what will b. most enthusiastic greet ing
 At his home last night Dr. Hadey stated that he had had a most enjoy able time while in Germany and had enjoyed the best of health. There was not much he could say about his ex- periences, said Dr. Hadley except that those with whom he came in contact with were most enthusiastic and cor dial
 The German universities he found Just as he expected having taken con- siderable graduate work there after leaving Yale. As the result of this most recent visit to Germany he did not think h. would institute any changes here.
 When asked if the Roosevelt pro- fessorship would be of any permanent good Dr. Hadley reported that the ex- perience waF certainly very delightful to the holder of the professorship But he added, the object of the professor ship is diplomatic and social rather than educational. Yale, he said, he found in the best of condition on his return.
 The two best known Yale graduates among the students at Berlin univer- sity while he was there, were Dr. Hen ry B. Wright, son of Dean Wright and Clapp, t, c noted athlete. Dr. Had ley spoke last night of the high respect in which these men were held by the other attendants at the university.
 pr. Hadleys stay in Berlin was mar red for the first time by the cable des- patch of the death of Professor Thom- as Day Seymour during the Christmas recess. Professor Seymours death, which was entirely unexpected, came as a great shock. Another was In store for him when lie reached Amer ica, for soon after he landed he heard of the death of Professor Bourne.
 When Dr. and Mrs. Hadley left the Kaiser Wilhelm II yesterday morning they were met by Secretary Stokes and several New York Yale graduates. MT. Stokes came to New Haven on an early train and Dr. and Mrs. Hadley followed, arriving here at o'clock.
