HOW ABOUT THIs2

Over at Canton at times, the work
house is full of prisoners and again
it is not. The works has a demand
for rat traps at this season of the
year and the orders tax the capacity
of the plant to fill them. When this
is the case the word is passed along
the line to the lower courts of the
county that they are in need Of men
and they are soon supplied. A vag-
rant, drunk, q train trespasser, a
malefactor of any kind who pleads
guilty Is given sentence of $40 aud
costs and to the rat trap works he
goes. Then these courts have re-
ceived word that prisoner who has
a $40 fine and costs to work out is
self supporting, but one Of IS and
costs is not valuable recruit. When
help is plenty at the works courts are
so informed and brother malefactor
arrested for a like offense who
pleads guilty is given a nominal fine
on suspended sentence and he won
ders why. The reason is the coop is
full. That tells the story.-Alliance
Review.

LIED MUST GO TO PEN

Columbus, March Sired Lied, ex-
member Of the board of public service,
must serve four years in the Ohio
penitentiary, unless he carries his
case to the supreme court and it re-
verses the decision of the common
pleas and circuit courts.
On Monday the circuit court handed
down a decision sustaining Judge
Rogers in all the decisions rendered
by him during Leid's trial. The end
of the decision simply says: "Judg-
ment of the lower court affirmed"
Lied, of course, has two privileges
in the matter. One is to accept the
sentence of the court and become in
carcerated in the penitentiary. The
other is to file exceptions and carry
the case to the supreme court of Ohio.
His attorneys state that the case will
be carried up.

LONG BRANCH PROSPECTIVE
SUMMER CAPITAL

Longbranch, N. J., March S-Long-
branch, the summer capital of the
Nation, under Presidents Grant and
Garfield, again aspires to hold that
distinction and believes that II has
good chance of doing so, not dur
ing the Taft administration alone,
but permanently. This hope is based
upon a peculiar combination Of cir
cumstances beginning with the crea-
ton of a million dollar country seat
here by the late John A. Mccall FIVE
years ago, and eliminating in the in
PRODUCTION of a bill in congress by
Representative Landis providing for
an appropriation of $250,000 for the
erection of a summer home for the
president at West Point.
The Mccall place is lying idle just
now. 1t is literally TOO fine to be
marketable. From the twenty-five
acres OF beautiful park which con
stitute its grounds to its forty-two
bathrooms and its sixty-two feet tall
reception hail. it is on such a scale
as hardly to be fitted for q private
home. A force of thirty men and
women servants must be busy all the
time to keep the building and
grounds in proper shape.
This beautiful property, constitut-
ing preeminently the show place of
the Jersey coast, is now for sale at
$150,000.
Long Branch sees no reason why
New Jersey congressman and sena-
tors shouldn't take advantage of this
opportunity to secure the location of
the summer White House, If the ma
ton is to have one, in this state.
The Board of Trade at a special
meeting called for the purpose by
President James A. Stratton, passed
resolutions and adopted plans for a
vigorous campaign. The assistance of
the Asbury Park Board of Trade and
other similar bodies In New Jersey
will doubtless also be enlisted. 1t is
planned to make this state move
ment.

GOOD ROADS ONLY
SOLUTION REGULAR
RURAL SERVICE

In the maintenance OF a regular
rural delivery service through the To-
cal postoffice much difficulty is being
experienced at this season on account
of the bad roads. On the routes to
the south Of Canton, the highways
are almost impossible and it Is well
nigh impossible to carry on the de-
livery with any degree of accuracy.
However, the postotfice department
finds itself able to reach all points
along the routes about once in every
two days, an accomplishment which
is looked upon as nothing short of
remarkable.
Fear is now entertained that the
postofflce department at Washington
will order the discontinuance of some
of the worst Of these routes. The
proper course for residents along
the same to pursue is to petition the
township and county officials to make
such Improvements of the roads as
would render them passible at all times
during the muddy spring season. Last
year, when the government threat
oned to cut out parts of the rural SER
vice, they were persuaded not to do
so by promises on the part of town
ship and county officials to make GER
tain improvements to the roads. These
promises were partially carried out,
at least to such a degree that some
Of the worst sink holes were abol-
ished
Seven rural routes are established in
connection with the Canton postoffice.
To the south of Canton, the deplorable
condition Of the highways is attrib-
uted to the incessant coal traffic.
Heavy wagons passing over them
continually place them in an uneven
condition. The worst compliments
of bad roads are the residents along
rural route 5. The attention of the
News" has been called to the condi-
ton of this route, and this called
forth the statement from the local
postoffice officials that it was impossi-
bic to maintain a regular schedule
of delivery by reason of the impassi-
bility Of the roads. To the north
of Canton the situation is much bet
ter.

WAS FOURTH O'BR|EN TO
MEET VIOLENT DEATH

North Lawrence, March S.--Jerry
o'Brien, aged sixty-flve years, a track
walker, was instantly killed by a
Pennsylvania freight train here at
1880 o'clock this morning. The acci-

witnessed by a number of passengers.
During the past decade, four mem
bers of the O'Brien family have met

freight train while walking upon
the tracks, and later a son was drown
ed.
O'Brien leaves a widow and several
grown up children.

A Slight Misunderstanding.

A lady from South America, pos
sessed of a decidedly quick temper,
came to New York with very incom-
plete knowledge of the English Ian
guage. At her hotel she rang for the
chambermaid. But waiter came in
stead. Having ascertained that the
name of the chambermaid was Susan,
the lady marshaled her meager knowl-
edge of English in desperate effort
to make the waiter understand he
should call the chambermaid. What
she said to him, however. was:
Call me Susan!''
The waiter leaned against the wall
much alarmed.
Call me Susan!" shouted the South
American.
The waiter became appalled,.
Call me Susan!" roared the lady,
her eyes flashing furiously.
Susan, then-if you will have it,"
exclaimed the poor waiter. Then he
fled precipitately.
