Good Roads Feature.

The greatest object with which we
have to contend is transportation and
bad roads. This, however, can be
remedied by little expenditure OF
money in the proper way. 1t is an
established fact that there has been
sufficient money uselessly expended
on the public highways to make them
quite the equal to any street to be
found in city. This is done by the
Log Rolling Method" as our State
historian so aptly puts 1t, by calling
in the neighbors each year to assist
in putting the roads in order for the
short summer months-since > the
work done in the spring is not notice
able late in the fall the same time
and money approximately being spent
each year with little or no practical
results.
A wave Of enthusiasm was appar-
ent a year ago when the good road
movement was inauguratei n this
county, but it seems to have died in
its infancy SO there is but one alter
native: consider the good road propo-
sition along with the consolidation
OF schools and it will be found that
there is quite as much economy in
systematic woodworking as in school
work.
No Trust Meant.
In consolidation we do not mean to
form a trust or monopoly for mer-
cenary purposes. bnt It is recognized

tion Of the rnraI schools in order tc
adopt It more ocslely to the demands
Of an agricultural population and to
make It the center of richer social

There are those who refuse to see
need for any reform whatever in
rural sehol work.We clearly recall the
dissension brought about by the re-
placing OF the old examination sys-
tenn by the uniform method which
has donelmuch to elevate the stand
ard of teaching-th boards of .edu-
cation doing their part by increasing
salaries, thus securing to the profess
sion some of the very best of teach
ers, resulting in universal belief
that the uniform system. with its pos
stble defects, is far superior in many
particulars to that Of the old. We
also recall the work OF Alexander L.
Wade, one of West virginia's great
est educators. in establishing the
graduating system in the common
schools, which like ali other efforts
toward reform was looked upon with
distrust; subject to severe criticism
and even ridicule.
Thus, We see that any attempt that
might be made toward improvement
by striking out of the time worn
paths viii be met with the strongest
opposition possible not only by those
who do not understand but by those
who may be commonly called knock
ers, who spend their meager supply
of energy in gable and slush much
like Abraham Lincoln's steam engine:
when it whistled it stood stiil: all It's
energy was needed for the whistle.
The knocker. like the proverbial poor,
is with us always. Even il a slight
attempt at reform Is inaugurated the
knocker begins his bowling and ends
not until that small amount of energy
has been completely exhausted. Some
Of our teachers, we are sorry to say,
are sometimes afflicted with such
grievance and not infrequently sue
coed in poisoning the minds of pupils
in their charge who in return bid fair
to be the peer of their tutor. The
world needs knockers, but not of this
sort.

NIGHT SIGNAL
Marine Calculates 1t to Be a
Success.

Washington, April 9.-First Lieut..
Fred A. Ramsey, Marine Corps, on
duty at the Puget Sound Barracks, has
applied for patent on a night signal
ling device to be used on board ship
or by land parties. The device is cal
culated to take the place of the pres
ent system of night signalling by torch
es and by searchlights. Lieut.. Ram
sey declares that his device is more
reliable, will be effective at a greater
distance, and will work faster than
the present systems. His apparatus
consists of two powerful lights, one
red and the other white. The signal
ling is done by changing the position
and combination of these lights. This
is managed from a keyboard similar
TO that on typewriter, SO that all the
operator has to do to flash any letter
of the alphabet is to press the proper
key. The entire apparatus weighs lit
tie and can easily be carried about on
land.

Beats the Democrats Into
Line by Diplomatic
House Rule.

BEEN SPECIFICALLY SET DOWN
AND CONGRESSMAN MUST
ABIDE BY 1T.

Washington, April 9.--Congres sman
James E. Watson is the author of the
rule by which the republican majority
in the house of representatives put q
crimp in the democratic filibusters
who have been twisting the republican
elephants tail and blocking business
in the house.
When the whip" returned from In
diana he found that the democrats had
sewed up the house and were having
their own way. He drafted rule
which he thought would handle the
democratic brethren and showed it to
Dalzell and Bayne of the committee
on rules. In every syllable of the rule
there was evidence of the mailed fist.
This rule is simply awful, Jim, -
said Dalzell.
well, we have to deal with an aw-
full situation replied Watson.
The republicans got a strangle hold
on the democrats and struck them in
the solar plexus with Watson's rule.
When the rule had been read the
democrats gasped for breath, then
proceeded to get mad and do volcanic
stunts.
According to old timers the rule is
rare work of art. 1t provides for the
entire procedure Of the house from
Wednesday until Monday afternoon
l..
had without any roll call and states
on what days certain pending bills
shall be considered without roll calls
1t further provides that the house
shall convene every morning at 1870
o'clock and fixes the hour of adjourn
ment for each day.

TEDDY NOT NEEDED
Counsel on Naval Increase
Was All for Naught
1t Seems.
ONLY TWO BATTLESHlPS.

Washington, D. c., April 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation for
increasing the navy were partially ig-
nored by the house committee on Ma
val Affairs, which has reported the
naval appropriation bill. Instead Of
making provision for four battle ships
of the first class, as urged by the pres.
ident, the bill carries appropriation
for only two.
The committee also disregarded the
administration recommendation with
respect to submarine torpedo boats,
providing for eight instead of only
four. as suggested. When Representa-
tive Lilly. of Connecticut, demanded
his investigation of the methods en-
ployed by the Holland company in Sc
curing the incorporation of this item
in the bill. it was thought the commit
tee would adhere to the administration
program, but it was not swerved from
its original puruose.

kokomo Woman
Gives Fortune
To Help Women Who Suffer.

In the past few years Mrs. Cora B.
Miller has spent s125, 100000 in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Sometime ago we announced in the
columns of this paper that she would
send free treatment to every woman
who suffered from female diseases or
piles.
More than a million women have &C
cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts Of
the world, who have not yet used the
remedy, she has decided to continue
the offer for awhile longer. at least.
This is the simple. mild and harm
less preparation that has cured so
many women in the privacy Of their
own homes after doctors and other
remedies failed.
1t is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leuCor-
rhoea or whitish discharges, ulcer
alton. displacements or falling of the
womb, profuse, scanty or painful per
iods, uterine or ovarian tumors or
growths; also pains in the head, back
and bowels. bearing down feelings
nervousness. creeping feeling up the
spine, melancholy. desire to cry, hot
flashes. WEAKNESS and piles from any
cause, or no matter of how long stand
ing.
Every woman sufferer. unable to
find relief, who will write Mrs Miller
now without delay. will receive by
mail free OF charge. a 50-cent box OF
this simple home remedy, also a book
with explanatory illustrations showing
why women suffer and how they can
easily cure themselves at home with
out the aid of physician.

WAR DOGS PREPARE

MOBILIZATION Is PLANNED.

Chicago, April "a dispatch from
Washington, d. c., says:
Plans are being elaborated in detail
for the mobilization of joint mill
tary and naval force in Venezuelan
waters as soon as possible after Presi-
dent Roosevelt obtains congressional
sanction to resort to force against
Castro.
1t may not be deemed necessary by
the administration to make this mar
tial demonstration, but the war and
navy departments are both mapping
out a tentative military movement.
The whole military situation is now
under consideration by the general
staff of the army and the general
board Of the navy by direct order
from the president upon Secretary
Roots recommendation for prepared
ness to back up eventualities with a
show Of arms.
President Roosevelt cannot consti-
tutionally declare war against Venez-
uela. Legislative authority would be
required for such a campaign and the
present preparation of plans. it is I'M
derstood, will be merely in accord
with the policy Of mapping out cam
paigns for possible emergencies.
Directions given in the present in
stance are, however, thc most explicit
made since the army and navy vas
ordered to prepare for participation in

Picking during the Boxer troubles
