tons Of the New Road Law
--Suggestions as to Practi-
cal Application of the
Funds.
Mr.. Editor We don't want
the sentiment for good roads to
die. We can't fold our arms
and pay taxes and expect good
roads any time soon. We must
still work to interest our people
in making good roads. When
we once get our people interest
ed In good roads and get them to
see the advantages of the same,
then they will either work or
pay to have good roads.
The public road by my home
was formerly laid off in a three
mile road section with about
twenty road hands. If they
had worked yearly 4 to S days
according to law this work would
have zen equal to twenty to
forty dollars per mile of public
road; and it would have averaged
but little less for the whole coun.
ty. But as it was, only a few
people here and there worked
the roads, while now every man
must pay his money. The mon.
ey must come. This money
ought to give 80 to 40 dollars a
mile for all our roads. 1t is OBJ.

Theodore n. Price of New York, a

%taneously in Washington and New
York indictments were returned
against Theodore H. Price, a promi-
nent New York cotton operator; Fred
erick A. Peckham and Moses Haas.
both of New York, and Edwin S.
Holmes, Jr., of this city, formerly as
s1stant statistician of the department
OF agriculture, for alleged participa-
ton in government crop report leaks.
Price is charged with having con-
spired with the other three men to
furnish advance information regarding
the crop reports of the department of
agriculture and Price, Peckham and
Haas are charged with conspiring to
bride Holmes to shape the Official re-
ports to suit their interests.
According to one of the indictments
Price made $750,O0O as a result of his
advance information regarding the re-
port for December, 1904, and paid
Haas S125,000 out of this sum. The
indictment charges that Haas paid
Holmes $1,000 for information on the
June report of 1905. The second
count of the Indictment says Haas
and Price conspired to bride Holmes
to arrange the June report so as to
show a greater cotton crop than the
information in the statistician's office
justified.
The other indictments charge the
three New York men, in eight counts,
with bribing Holmes for the informa-
tion and with conspiracy to shape the
report as mentioned; charge Holmes,
Peckham and Hass with conspiracy to
defraud the government by getting in
formation in advance; and the fourth
indictment charges Peckham and Haas
only with conspiracy to bride Holmes
to give out advance information.

Messrs. Stone and Gore.
la Toilette LEADS FIGHT

Washington, May 30.-Just ten min.
utes officially before the hands of the
big round clocks in the chambers of
the two houses of congress pointed to
the hour of midnight the first session
of the Sixtieth congress came to q
close.
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans in honor of Speaker Can
non and by Democrats in the interest
Of William ]. Bryan. The excitement,
which was great at times, finally sub
sided and the session closed with good
fellowship among members.
The senate was extremely quiet dur
ing the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity of remaining in
session for the engrossing and signing
Of bills.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable On account of the flibuster
Of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and Gore
against the emergency currency bill,
by the remarkable interpretations of
the rules which go far to establish
cloture in a body noteworthy for the
freedom Of debate and by the final
passage of the currency bill.
At 4:3O o'clock the senate adopted
the report of the %conferees of the two
houses of congress on the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency bill by
the decisive vote of 43 to %, and thus
was taken the last congressional step
necessary toward the enactment of
emergency currency legislation, the
legislation toward which congress has
directed it's principal effort since it
convened last December.
The downfall of the flibuster was
inevitable. Nine-tenths of the sena-
tors were opposed to it, but it was
marked by the breaking of all records
in the length of speeches, Mr.. La Fol
lette occupying the floor for over
eighteen hours continuously, speaking
from IL o'clock Friday morning until
after Z o'clock on Saturday morning.
