The Editors Compensation,

Tho man who edits theaverage
country newspaper cannot well
avoid treading on somebody's toes
continually; must expect to be
censured often for unintentional
~failures3 must expect hard work
and little thanks; must expect to
be called a coward because he does
not "pitch into" everything that
somebody thinks is wrong and a
fool if he speaks out too plainly on
public evils. He must expect to
grind other peoples axes and turn
the grindstone himself. Still, we
think it is one OF the noblest pro-

Keep the Road Drains Unob-
structed.

This is the time Of the year for
trimming brush, hedges, etc., along
the fence line and roadside. In
my travels over the state the fact
is very noticeable that many farm
ers persist in throwing these trim
mings into the side bitches OF the
road or else where they may wash
into the bitches. This brush wash
es down to the culverts and lodges
across or in the opening to choke
the culvert and thereby obstruct
the free flow of water, forcing it
onto or across the roadbed. The
result is a vast amount of damage
to the travelled roadway.
Nd man has a legal o a moral
right to obstruct a road drain. The
law is plain upon this. But it
should not be necessary to pena-
lie anybody for this infringement
Of the law. Good roads should be
the desire OF all and every man
should lend his efforts toward keep
ing the roads passable, at least as
far as not to throw Instructions in
the bitches. 1t is impossible to
keep a firm road bed without the
drainages and the bitches must be
kept open and unobstructed in
order to get the drainage.
sincerely hope that every man
will give this matter some thought
and consideration. The road of
ficials cannot make the roads with
out the aid and interest OF the
citizenship OF the state. Certain
ly not IL the citizens persist in ig-
noring the main feature of a good
rcad-that is drainage.
1t costs money to keep up the
roads and every property holder
in paying his part. 1t requires
some OF that money to repair a
washout or water soaked roadocd
caused by an INSTRUCTED drain and
with draws just that amount from
the general Improvement OF the
road. Do not impede your local
road official and thereby your own
interests by carelessiy or willfully
oil structingi the road drains.

why the State Is poor

Jefferson City, May 14.-One of
OF the reasons this legislature has
not more money for the state in
stitutions is the fact that the gem
eral assembly itself has spent more
than, appeared to most persons to
be necessary. Every two years
there is somebody in the house who
proposes that there be a decrease
in the clerical force. This year a
bill passed the house limiting the
clerical force OF both houses.
The bill has not passed the sem
ate, and today Governor Hadley,
in an effort to bring the matter to
the attention of that body, sent a
message to the senate in which he
said he understood the house had
22s employees and the senate 26O.
Senator McAllister, chairman of
the senate committee on clerical
force, said that there were not 26O
persons on the payroll of the SEN
ate.

tor Eads asked.
az can't tell you", said McAllis-
ter, "but / will find out. 1 don't
know where the governor got his
figures, but there has never been
at one time $50 names on the pay
roll. There have been changes,
one clerk would drop out and n
other take his place"
McAllister reported ten min
utes later that there are today 212
names on the payroll of the senate
not including the senator's them
selves. That makes an average
OF more than six persons waiting
on each senator.
AS the Republicans were allowed
one clerk each with three extra
places there were left 1913 places
to be divided among twenty three
senators. A few OF
these were elective offices, so the
actual average number of clerks ap
pointed by Democratic senator's
was eight to each senator. 1t has
been impossible heretofore to get
the exact figures OIL the senate
force.

"Down there in Central Missouri
where l i've" remarked C. j.
Shackelford OF Nelson Mo-, "the
old fashioned rail fences, which
were once SO common are about all
gone. Those portions of Cooper
and Saline counties were very heav
lily timbered in the early days. We
had to dispose of it in some way in
clearing up our lands. Valuable
timber was cut down and DESTROYED
We would cut off some of the
straight logs and split them into
rails and then roll the balance into
heaps and burn it. Thousands of
cords of wood and valuable lumber
was thus destroyed. / sometimes
look around the country and recall
thd time when / could see but a
few miles in any direction for the
big groves Of timber which OBJ
structed the view. Today the
country is bare of timber and looks
as though it had always been a
prairie country. The wire fences
have taken the place of til cold rail
fences. OF curse a wire fence will
last longer and takes up less space
Bua where we made a great mis-
take was in not saving a grove here
and there for fire-wood. In many
places farmers have hardly sur
ficient timber to furnish fuel. And
in most places farmers are buy
ing fence posts. What will be done
a few years later on, / cannot say.
The rougher land ought to have
been reserved for fence posts and
fuel. Rough land is not fit fol-
anything for farming purposes. and
Is not SO very valuable for grazing
either. But this cutting out OF all
the timber is but one OF the many
changed that have taken place on

The road case of Roe VS.. Ross
was withdrawn by Mr.. Roe and he
will comply with the county courts
order. The court recently issued
orders to the road overseers to
have all hedges along the public
highway comply with the law. Jno.
Roe, OF Kansas City, who owns a
farm ear Blackburn, objected and
went to court, holding that he
could not be compelled to trim his
hedge. The law on this point is
clear and is not at the discretion of
the county court, but the road over
seer must know the width of the
road and when the hedge is back'of
the property line he has no juris-
diction. This law seems reason
able as the hedges cause the roads
to become impossible by causing
snowdrifts to collect and later
keeping the roadbed from drying
up promptly.

The Missouri assembly, which is
lust closing the so-called "revision
or long" session, is not entitled to
unstinted praise, nor does 1t merit
Wholesale censure. It defeated a
number of very worthy measures
whose enactment would have been
of substantial benefit to the state
or to the localities affected. On
the other hand a number OF meas
ures which were unwise and would
have worked hardship to interests
already burdened with oppressive
legislation were defeated. The
balance would thus appear to be
fairly we'll maintained. Compared
with some other legislatures of the
past decade or so the present body
undoubtedly presents a refreshing
contrast, but legislative conditions
are still lamentably short OF those
which should obtain and the actual
ing motives are too often deplor-
ably selfish and partisan. The
fault lies, as it must always lie, with
tho misconception by legislators
Of the reason for their being in
the capital of the state.-Kansas
