ESPERANTO TO

Defects of Old World

New York, Dec. 8.-Although Es-
peranto has been hailed as the com
ing world-tongue for several years
on both sides of the Atlantic, with the
Young Mems Christian Association
conducting classes in it, and Col
George B. Harvey giving much space
to its PRONUNCIATION in his North AM
erican Review, the officers of the New
York Esperanto Society have decided
that Esperanto is as faulty as VOLTA
puk, its predecessor, was found to
be twenty years ago.
At the last meeting of the society
on Nov 10th the members, who have
dwindled down from several humid
red to fifteen, voted unanimously that
Esperanto was too full of logical de-
feets to be worth wasting any more
time on They decided to take up
in its place the study of Flo, ano-

Officers of the New York Esperan-

the discredit into which the inter-
national language has fallen was not
local, but world wide.
DR.. Talmey, the original New York
City Esperantist, who resigned from
the society last year because he be-
came disguised with Esperanto, said
yesterday that it was so illogically
constructed that, in his experience
students of Esperanto were unable

COUNTRY ROADS
washington Post.)

The st. Louis Journal of Agriculture
computes that there are in the United
States more than 100000 miles of
public highways. but Z per cent of
which can be classed as improved
and then the Journal estimates that if
all this vast mileage were properly
constructed and kept in good repair
the saving to the farmers in hauling
their crops to markets and to rail-
road stations would amount to the
stupendous sum of 500, 200 an
nually, nearly $1,000,000 for each
workday in the year The ST. Louis
paper further calculates that the cost
of transporting a load of farm pro-
duce over a good macadam road is
cents a mile, while over. poor dirt
road it is eight times as much, or "a
cents a mile. Finally the Journal
says that the cost of hauling from
the farm it's surplus 20 the railroad
station amounts to 03 per capita of
our entire population.
The Journal makes no estimate of
the cost of carrying the return load
that the farmer takes home from the
market. When we recall that this
computation is for farm produce on
nation by reason of poor facilities Of
rural transport are simply frightfui.
And when we add to these the losses
by wear and tear of wagons and
other vehicles, the hardships on
horseflesh, and the waste of time
bad roads requiring two trips where
on a good road one would suffice-it
is not extravagant to say that the
American people tax themselves ev-
cry year for bad roads as much as
they pay in taxes to sustain the Fed
Grad government, and that is a
round billion or upward.
If our country roads were what
they should be-what they are in
England-there would be much less
need of railroad extension. The
railroads would send out automobiles
to gather freights and passengers,
and the bother and expense to the
farmers and other inhabitants of the
rural regions would be infinitely less.
Whether the proposal to appropriate
money direct from the Federal Treas
ury to construct country roads be
constitutional is very doubtful. Nay,
it is manifestly unconstitutional; but
the time is near when the people are
going to clamor for it.

When Col. Harvey, President of the
