TALKING FOR GOOD ROADS.

Vice President Sherman-New

talk to the good roads congress re
Gently assembled in Baltimore, por-
tons of which are here given:
Our highways have not been de-
ycloped. The roads Of England,
France and Switzerland put our
roads to shame 1t is not so with
our cities. In our large cities we
have hundreds of miles of well-payed
streets, and in some of the states
there has been decided improve
ment in the highways
II do not know what state leads
in the building of roads, but know
that great things are being done in
for road Improvement, and these
thoroughfares will be enjoyed by
posterity. I hope other states are
keeping abreast with New York on
this question. 1t is not expected that
state like Nevada should come up
to New York or Maryland. but we
up her desires.
An illustration as TO what can
be accomplished can be gotten from
the success of the National Reclaim
alton Service, Although the depart
ment was established only eight
years ago II has already paid into
the treasury $51.0b0,00o from the

But for the excellent railroad ser
vice Of this country it would be i'm
possible TO get a market for the sur
plus products of this land. Mere pro-
duction amounts TO nothing until
you connect it with consumption.
II want TO impress upon you the
importance OF providing means for
carrying the products OF the produc-
er to the consumer wheter il be
the products of the mines, the farms, .

WRITER'S CONTEST

The writer's contest for December
seems to have settled down to con.
test of getting, and the increase
in the number of votes recorded to
the credit of each, is not SO great as
in November. Not so many people
paid bills in December, Santa Claus
receiving so large share Of atten-
ton there was not the usual amount
for newspaper expenses.
During the last month of the con-
test we shall publish the news letters
just as received, without any altera-
lions or corrections, so the public can
see how perfectly they do their work,
and how many competent editors the
school of journalism has developed.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1909-01-22

For the information of those who
have not been informed heretofore
we explain that this is contest last
ing from April first, 1908, to March
first, 1909, and the person receiving
the highest number Of votes and
credits on their work as correspond
ent, is sent by The Republican to see
and write up the Seattle exposition In
June and July, 1909, and to take a
side trip up the Alaskan coast.
Should 1t happen that the person
receiving the highest number OF votes
could not take the trip, then 1t will
fall to the next lower one who can go.
1t is expected that this will be the
first American exposition ever opened
that was really ready on the opening
day, and we want the winner Of this
prize to be there on the opening day
or soon after. The trip up the coast
is better in July than in June.
Votes are issued at this office on
all money paid in, at the rate Of 100
votes on the dollar, and on all writ
ten news sent in.

the standing OF all:

by his responsibilities for who Of US

The status of women at that time, the
historian says, was much like that Of
their English sisters respected,
safe, good-humored, but painfully ig-
norant,' harsh word for which we
may substitute uneducated. Yet
here and there despite disadvantages,
in each century arose women far be-

Anne Hutchinson, who arrived in
1886, by instituting meetings Of
women for the discussion Of theology,
led the clergy a merry dance in dis
putting over the covenant Of works
and covenant of grace; and by her
influence, SO powerful faction was
created, that she was communicated
and banished to Aquidneck, afterward
Rhode Island. Governor Winthrop
gave her the grim praise of saying,
"she knew when to speak and when
to hold her tongue"
She had the high spirit to glory in
condemnation, and later when mes
sengers were sent from Boston to see
if she were in a mood to retract, say
ing they came from the Church Of
Boston, she replied that she knew no

Captivity and Removes of Mrs. Mar,
Rowlandson Among the Indians.
These were the beginnings Of
woman's literary work in the New
World.
There is vivid human interest In
the old records Of woman's indie
lpendence. in the similarity Of fashions
and criticisms to these dissimilal
times. We see the incipient symp-
toms Of sex rebellion against her en-.
vironment, in the comment of the
small girl on her first attendance at q
church with old fashioned square
pews, -" What! Must be shut up in
a closet and sit on a shelf" Little
one. long since dust and ashes, ] like
| thy spirit!
1t was the custom in those early
days to carry chairs to the house OF
worship. In 1877 permission was
given by the select men Of Newbury
to few young ladies, to build a pew
in the gallery, which so incensed the
bachelors of the town that they
broke window, invaded the meeting
house and broke the pue in pessis. ;"
The "pue" war seems to have been
long one, and the ungallant protest
of the bachelors against woman's
rights may be explained by their posi-
ton, as their own rights were much
restricted in the colonies. They were
obliged to live with the family as
signed by the court, and could only
be free by marrying.
In the Woburn church, permission
to build pew was given to the
daughters of four highly respected
families, but the bachelors protested
SO vehemently that the permission
was revoked.
At Scotland, CT, six maidens were
empowered to build pew, provided
they built within year, and raised 1t
no higher than the mems side. But
with the true perversity Of the sex
when forbidden to do thing, they
built SO much higher than the mems
that they were ordered to lower It
within month, or the committee
would take the pew away. In Med
ford in 1901, the young women were
allowed only one side of the gallery
for seats, while the young men were
assigned one side, and one half the
front gallery.
At this the young women rose, and
their demands for an equable division
were so strenuous that the town
called meeting and gave them the
other half of the front gallery.
In Haverhill in 1908, young
women were permitted to build pews
provided they did not "damnify the
stairway"
AS the hardships Of the colonists
lessened andNwealth increased, rich
stuffs were imported for wives and
daughters, and much interest was
manifested in the fashions Of Europe.

The Old Time Shawl.

The shawl was originally not a
woman S garment exclusively, for the
Scotch highlander has his tartan
plaid, and the men of northern Italy
still wear a cloak which is very little
more than shawl There can be no
question that the shawl is more use
full and more picturesque as an ar
tlcle of attire than the close fitting
coats both men and women now wear.
The shawl could in case OF emergency
be used to protect two persons or to
wrap child in or rs an extra bed
covering. Its fashion did not change
every three months. and it could be
used and passed down in the family
until ii was worn out. NOWADAYS
the only time when such articles are
used is when people are making an
ocean trip or travling in Europe
