wilds of northern Idaho. when it was

WAYS OF READING A NEWS
PAPER.


If you are an optimist you can find
a plenty in any days paper to sustain
and rationalize your hopeful view of
things. Complaint is often made that
the newspapers hunt for the bad
things the world does and take cog
nizance only of such good deeds as
thrust themselves upon the journal
istic gaze. That criticism. II true at
all. is applicable to very few OF the
newspapers Take the ordinary one,
one which strives to make faith
ful, impressionistic picture Of the
world day by day. and you viii find
three times as many items Of hopeful
as Of depressing import. This fact
would prove, II il we're really true
that the newspapers hunt chiefly FOR
the bad things. either that as news
eatherers they are less efficient than
they imagine, or that there is re-
markable scarcity Of favored mater

The SENATORIAL ToGA.

Political gossip is always interesting
to the people, and one of the latest is
the probability of an understanding be-
ing reached between Senator Foster and
Governor Sanders. AS the story runs,
Sanders is ambitious for the Senate
but is disinclined to array himself
against the man who has helped him in
his climb of the politica ladder. 1t has
been suggested that at the right time
Senator Foster will give way to San
ders, and in return Sanders will see that
Foster is named and elected Governor
of the State.
From the Caucasian's view this pro-
gramne is refreshing, but can scarcely
be carried out, even should Senator
Foster agree to cede his seat in the
Senate to Governor Sanders. However,
such speculation leads to talk and po-
litical gossip, no matter how absurd, IS
the delight of politicians.
There has been some talk of Govern
or Sanders listing against Senator Fos-
ter, which is not probable, but if such a
contest becomes active it would be in
teresting to stand aside and wacth the
fur hy.

GOOD ROADS.

The subject of good roads fills the
columns of the press of the State.
Good. roads are being discussed as never
before. There is unanimity remark
able for good roads. It is conceded
that it is not possible to estimate the
value of good roads, but roads to be
good must be constructed lntell1gently
Much money can be wasted in road
making with sand which can not be per-
manent. In Caddo parish there has been
realized a full experience in practical
road making. There is a notable inn
provement in the roads of Caddo parish,
which, comparatively are in fairly good
condition. In the construction Of good
roads there is much difference between
practice and theory. Good roads are
costly and can not be constructed in a
day Every effort towards better roads
in Caddo parish, for instance, should be
directed with elaboration and to tbs
attainment of results Would the cor
struction of a road to meet the Mans
field road at the parish line justify the
cost of such road? Could not greater
advantages be secured by. concentrating
the best efforts on, for instance, the
main road, the road leading from
Shreveport to Greenwood, to Waskom
and to Marshall? Into this highway is
conveyed the vehicular travel and traf-
fc from an extensive territory whose
trading center is Shreveport. The sug-
gested connection with the Mansfield
extension at the parish line may be ap.
proved in theory, but its practical use
in a general sense, can not be equal te
the thoroughfare generally known a.
the Texas road.

SANDERS AND THE CONSTITU
TON

Mansfield Journal: All that talk about
an attempt to amend the Constitution
to permit Governor Sanders to succeed
himself in Office, sprung several months
ago and recently revived by the New
Orleans Item. is undoubtedly pure rot,
conceived solely for political agitation
and to prejudice the public mind against
the administration. 1t is certainly not
apprehended by any serious minded
citizen that members of the Legislature
are such simple minded jackasses as to
undertake such a move in any mans
interest.
