GOOD ROADS CAN BE EAD.

The matter of better highways
should receive the serious con-
saeration of the people of this
county. No sane man will dis
pute the proposition that good
roads are a great lever in making
progress and prosperity. We
have a plan in mind that if car
ried out would give Clarendon
public highways that would en-,
hance the valuation Of all real
property anywhere from twenty
I've to one hundred per cent, and
to get public highways, will not
cost in taxation as much, when
benefit is considered, as the pres.
ent wasteful extravaganza.
Our plan is to bond the county
with ninety year bonds for asuf-
fcient sum to contract all Of our
roads to road constructing
company, plans and specifca-
tions. grades, steel bridges all a
part of the contract. The man.
agement of this huge affair to be
entrusted to a commission who
shall be circumscribed with a
carefully enacted legislation. At
first blush, taxpayers will shrink
from a proposition Of this magni-
tude, and the one who pays the
least will hold up his hands in
holy horror. but the thinker will
look upon it as a business propo-
sition, and viii calculate the
amount saved in rolling and live
stock, time and energy, by having
public highways sure Of travel
at all times. With roads con-
ssructed as our plan requires,
means a one horse wagon could
haul four bales of cotton to mar
ket where it hauls one now; it
means the distances would be
shortened at least fifty per cent
in time. It means that live stock
would no more be strained, and
that the streams would be cover
ed with,steel bridges. and, all of
which will mean a higher civiliz,
alton, enhanced value Of proper
ty, and more thickly settled com
munities.
To get this ideal condition costs
money but it would be the best
paying investment a people ever
made, one which would bring to
them greater money returns, and
greater Joy. OF course, the peo-
pie alone can say whether they
would consent for their Repre-
sentatives to create legislation
for such a purpose. and our rea-
son for directing attention to it is
merely to have the people to dis
cuss the matter among them
selves, hoping perhaps, some day
the taxpayers Of Clarendon will
see the wisdom and the necessity
to demand Of those who repre-
sent, them permanent public i'm
provements. We have no hesi-
tency in saying that our present
system of fixing" up our public
roads is a waste of money, time
and energy-a system the heath
en- Chinee would not tolerate, and
the officials in charge are not to
blame; the fault is entirely with
aparsimonious people, who watch
the spigot while the leak is at the
bung.

The Pride of Miner.

The Riverside Inn, the pride of Mil
ner, is to be opened Friday, May 1st,
with little outward display but with a
lot Of profit to all who may be there
for the opening spreads. The Inn is
finished up in the most admirable taste,
with nothing lacking to make it as com
Portable a hostelry as there is in the
west. The company has spared no ex-
pense to make it strictly frst-class. It
overlooks the miilion-dollar dam of the
Twin Falls irrigation system, and com
mands a fine view of the writhing, tor
tuous Snake river canyon below the
placid reservoir. There is not in Boise
so perfectly appointed a hotel. 1t
should be the Mecca Of the travelling
men who may have to stay away from
their homes, for everything is to be
found there to make a man as comfort
able as he can be away from his own
home.

1t is perfectly clear that Tennyson was far
from orthodox Christian. Quite as GER
tainly he was not Bibliolator. He read the
Bible, of course; and so did Shelley. There
are fine things in it, amidst its falsehoods
and barbarities; and the English version is
monument of our literature. We regard
apocryphal, however, the story of Tennysons
telling boy, Read the Bible and Shakes
peare; the one will teach you how to speak
God, and the other how to speak to your
fellowmen." Anyhow, when the post came
to die, he did not ask for the Bible and he did
not ask for Shakespeare. The copy he habit
ually used was handed to him; he opened it
at Cymbeline, one of the most pagan of
Shakespeare plays; he read a little, and
then held the book until Death came with

and explicitly with economic revolution tax
ing place in Colorado, going into full details
of the fight between the mine owners and the
Western Federation of miners, and ending
with the trial and acquittal of Haywood. 1t
lays bare the whole conspiracy and will be
valuable, especially to all those who wish
to have at hand, the history of this greatest
of all labor's battles, under cover.
Here, you have pictured the class struggle
in language SO intense and thriiling-you
soon become factor, yourself, in the midst
OF the fight. 1t holds you from start to finish,
by its keen insight of human nature, its
vivid portrayal OF the prejudices, selfishness
and brutality which money engenders, and
the desperation OF poverty, and its blind
struggle to rise out of its depraved condi-
tions. Its fine detective work is equal to the
best of Poe. The plot leads you through
many labyrinths from the Governors office,
down deep into heart of the mine; from the
street of palaces, to the row of miners shacks;
from the ballroom of SWEETEST society, to the
lowest saloon, and den of vice in prostitution
1t gets down to the bottom of things, and
shows men and women, of all classes, high
and low as they are. and the causes of the
difference in conditions. All this is told in the
unique and inimitable style of which Hurt
only is master, while some parts, such as the
blowing up of Independence depot, border upon
the horrible, and are ire limit of terrible
depletion, other parts are softened with
pathos, poetical charm, and vivid word paint
ings of Colorado scenery, which alone are
worth the price of the book The book is hav'
ing an immense sale, and l will advise its
perusal by Blaze readers.

was only Jehovah, whose history Moses knew,
but to me God Almighty is the all-perfect
intelligence in Nature, as the hand within
the glove, the builder and giver of all good
ness, and above all the spirit of justice.
1t may be easy to say what god should
have done, but whether man was not given
the same enerrng knowledge sufficient for all
his needs as were the animals. Eliza Mowry
Blivens cannot surely know as man now is
the product partly of Nature and partly of
the conditions of war, drunkenness, dishon-
esty, Imperialism, slavery, etc., all of them
the result of mans own misconduct which
rulers called gods imposed upon him. Even
as a domestic animal loses somewhat of its
natural character by association with man,
so man, educated by other and more selfish
men, has lost much of his power to dicern
between truth and falsehood
Were man to be given conditions free
from all pain he would often suffer wounds
or partial destruction since by pain he is natur-
ally warned of danger and freedom from an
noyance and disappointment could result only
in the development of almost infinite selfish
ness, as has been the case with imperial per-
sonages. So Nature gives the changes in the
weather and the temperature which are often
disappointing and which many persons meet
with patience, but which others, complain of,
thus proving that they fail to learn the
lesson of self control, which is ever being
brought within our reach l once had friend
who as the last surviving member of the fam
lily dwelt alone occupying beautiful home
stead and who kept three or four cows for
the sole purpose of administering to the COM
fort of other creatures, 'and then too" said
my friend, must have with me beings whose
wills will sometimes oppose my own, that J.
may exercise patience toward them lest i
become too selfish.
Concerning a future life, although many
persons have asserted that they know there
is none, there are millions whose word is as
reliable as theirs, who say that to them the
proofs have been presented l wish with the
editors permission that some one among the
latter class would tell us of their experiences.

THE SCARLET SHADOW
Review of the Sensational Book From the
Pen of Walter Hurt.
(By DIR. j. B. Wilson.)

Anything written by Walter Hurt, | am
sure, will be of interest to all Blade readers:
and so, take the occasion to inform them of
the recent publication of his book, 1.-THE
Scarlet Shadow" This book is published by
the appeal to Reason" Girard, Kansas,
from which it can be purchased, price, $l5O.
1t is a novel, founded upon the Meyer Hay
wood arrest and trial. While pretty love
story runs through the book, it deals chiefly
