A Road 1000 Years Old.

Before we reached Hatfield, a
few miles out of London, We had
already been impressed with the
magni6cance of this Great North
road, which is said to have been
built bys Mr.. Caesar, whose
headquarters were in Rome ut the
time. 1t is the direct route from
London to Edinburgh and has been
travelled for SO many centuries
that the earliest histories of Eng
land contain accounts of the move
ment of troops upon it. 1t is a
great thoroughfare for vehicles of
all sorts, motorists and cyclists,
and in these modern days there
are we'll worn foot-paths along
either side for pedestrians. We
passed scores of motors and was
told while in England that the
popularity of motoring had notice.
ably diminished the number of
first class travellers bv rail. We
found the road for its entire length
of 400 miles in perfect condition; :;
in many portions the macadam is
said to be 9 feet thick. Long sec
tions of the road are oiled and on
no part of it was there any ap-
preciable amount of dust. There
are few sharp curves and the grades
are so slight that it has become a
great thoroughfare for speeders,
with the result that there are many
police traps for which one has to
watch. We found that we could
stop in almost any little village and
get information rs to just where
the traps were located; as, for in
stance, they told US at Biggleswade,
which is II better looking place
than its name, to look out for traps
just the other side of Buckden and
again in approaching Weston.-

Being Erected In Potos at a Cost of $50, 900.
Above Illustration Is From the Accepted Design

The laying of the corner. stone of the
new court house in Potosi took place on

Hon. NJ E. Rhodes. chairman of the

gave way to Masonic fraternity.
The stone laying was done with i'm

child carrying small national flag. The
Potos; Orchestra furnished music for
the occasion.

posting his vote. The trait Of the
Democrats to make government in
this country strictly one-party
affair, with their own party domi-
nant, is not confined merely to the
south alone, but crops out where
ever it is given the opportunity to
display this popularity. We see
evidences of it in Missouri, Ken
lucky and other states not threat
ened with NEGRO domination"
and it was manifestly in evidence
nationally when the Democracy of
the south seeded rather than give
up the ruling power when the
country voted it out. 1t is the
freedom from this narrow.minded
sel6shness that has made the Re-
publican the great national party
of the United States. In its stand
for civil liberty it submits to the will
of the people whenever that will is
expressed adversely. The Demo-
cratic party can never he great as
long rs it denies to others what it
demands for itself.

that would make the improbable

there is no demand for its repea

Both the Ohio platform of the
Republicans and the Democratic
(Bryan) platform of Nebraska are
opposed to monopoly in any form,
SO We may take it for granted that
this question is going to be one Of
the vital questions of the coming
campaign, and that our politicians
are anxious to restore ''competi-
tion as against monopoly" We
will see this theme played upon in
all its diversified harmonies by the
spell-binders of both parties. but
before accepting the statement that
competition is the cure for monop.
oily as final it were better to con-
slider the matter free from the
glittering phrases Of the political
platform writer or campaign
speaker. 1t is an established fact
that trade competition is not a
sound economic principal and it's
evils are seen in the depIorable
conditions of labor wherever this
system prevails to any great ex.
tent. 1t is system that results in
Il continual etfor! to lower the cost
to the buyer, which must either be
made up from the wages of those
employed in production or infer.
iority of the article produced.
This has been the inccntrovertible
lesson OF competition, nnd from it
men have learned to combine their
interests for mutual protection and
have thus established monopoly
with its accompaniment tendency
Of Capitalization of capital and
great individual riches. Whatever
the politicians may preach, it is
clear that neither capital or labor
can profit, nor the consumer bene-
fit, by a reversion to the trade plan
Of general competition. Such a
step would, indeed, be going back
ward as far as though we would
by radically substituting for our
magnificent steam and electric
lines the old method of stage coac b
transportation. In view of this we
must look upon those political
platform declarations az mere vote
catching fulminations to influence
the ignorant.

Stereotyping IS a Fine Art.

"Bourbon lawlessness and cor
ruption' must be stereotyped on the
brains of some Missouri Republi-
can writers,'' says the Republic,
''or they would not keep on using
the words after having such long

condemnation of "Bourbon law
