DO YOU BELIEVE in eHosTs9

Artemus Ward was once asked it,
he believed in ghosts.
moi" said he. But I'm afraid of
'em!"
Hundreds of thousands of people ii
this nation voted in the last election
under the Influence of the fear of
ghosts in which they did not believe
No sensible man believes that the
Dingley schedules add fraction of
a cent to farm staples. But the ghost
OF 20-cent corn was conjured up
walk l. tariff revision won. The
farmers didn't believe in the ghost
but they were afraid OF it.
No sensible person now believes
that our manufacturers need protec-
ton as infant industries any longer,
or that any foreign nation can pro-
duce on the whole, cheaper than we
can, or that lowering of the Dingley
schedules would throw wage-earners
out of jobs. But the ghost of smoke
less chimneys was conjured to walk
IL the tariff wall was lowered, and
though the working man was quite
sure he didn't believe in the ghost,
! he was afraid of it. So, against his
own belief, against the Gompers plead
| ing for the rights of union labor, the
Yorkingman voted for Cannonism in
the interests of his job, which he
didn' believe to be threatened, but
feared for.
In the midst of panic depression
the ghost of a panic was invoked, an(
though the business man never for q
moment believed in panic. no mat
ter who was elected, he was afraid o.

The fear of ghosts in which W.
do not believe makes governing thi

and Aldrich. 1t takes superstition

COST OF BAD PusLlc ROADS.

~
General Ray Stone figures that
there are 100000 miles of public
roads in the United States, over
which five hundred million tons of
freight is hauled every year. Putting
the average haul at eight miles, tho
this is probably an over-estimate, he
figured the cost of carting at 80 per
ton, or one billion dollars per year
With uniformly good roads the cost
of moving this freight would he only
400 million dollars, saving $500, OO0,C Z
to the public annually. This is equiv
alent to The yearly interest on Szu,-

One half Of this almost inconceivau
.ly vast sum would rebuild every mite
