R. e. Gee was pointed out to him by
Mayfield as the man who had drawn a
pistol. Gee was taken out of the hall
and searched. They were unable to
find pistol on his person. AS he
claimed he had not drawn pistol and
that there had been no trouble, Sheriff

GOOD ROADS

There are some farmers who believe that money expended on good roads Is thrown away. They look upon taxes for better highways as an imposition and lose sight of the fact that good roads greatly enhance the value of the lands contiguous thereto. Farmers, generally, ought to be enthusiastically ill favor of better roads. And we believe the more sensible of them are. Good roads are indeed a boon to humanity, The better the roads, the cheaper the transportation cost to the farmers that produce the food supplies for the industrial centres; the nearer the city is brought to the country; the letter it is for everybody whether he be farmer or tourist, native or stranger. So, throughout the coan- try, let the good roads movement be fostered and furthered.

The twilight is the morning of his day. While sleep drops seaward from the fading shore, With purpling sail and dip of silver oar, He cheers the shadowed time with roundelay, Until the dark east softens into gray. Now as the noisy hours are coming hark His song dies gently-it is growing dark His night, with it's one star, is on its way Faintly the light breaks over the blow ing oats Sleep, little brother, sleep: am astir We worship Song, and servants are O.

THEcuRRENcY ELEM

When Congress receives the report of the monetary commission and takes up the currency problem, the country will sit up and take notice The discussion will doubtless be protracted, for the sub iect is one of vast importance. Chair man Aldrich has gone abroad to study the question. If he puts as much thought and work, of the right sort, into the problem as he bestowed on the tariff, we may still come to regard him with favor.
 Our money system, which so easily permits of imitation and other evils, is most deplorable; but bad as it is, great care must be taken in remedylng 1t, lest we get something worse.
 The present Congress will expire March 4th, 1911 and if, by that time, il gives us a safe and satisfactory financial measure, it will have done a splendid work. Both President Taft and Con gress should put their best efforts into this matter.

LIABILITIES OF BANK DIRECTORS

The world is really growing better, as our friend Ebert Hubbard would say. It looks as if trust company directors will soon have to earn their salaries. A justice of the New York Supreme Court has held liable for bad loans by the president the board of directors of a trust company, maintaining that direct ors should direct and that they are le- gally, as we'll as morally culpable if they do not.
 This individual judicial opinion may or may not be confirmed by the higher courts. but 1t is we'll to give it widespread publicity. for by so doing the matter will be taken up and agitated.
 Much evil fourishes under the cover of responsibility and among the most heinous is crooked banking, made possl' ble because the names of many eml- nentIy respectable persons are to be found on the Board of Directors. These men too often neglect their duty, with the result that directorates are too ire quently made up of men who are mere dummies. They are directors ln name only-the officers transact the business Let us hope that the New York Supreme Court decision will be affirmed by the courts higher up; then we may reason ably expect that bank directors will ge down to business and questionable bank ing will be reduced to the minimum.

THEPREsIDENT'S TOUR

President Taft is on his transoontinen- tai tour and the people along the way are daily greeting him and wishing him Godspeed. Some of the public prints of the land decry the 13,O00 mile speech making tour, saying the president is set ting bad example and that the whole thing is nothing more than 8 national free show, But it is fitting and proper that the president should travel up and down the country and meet the people. Every patriotic American, whatever his political belief, takes justifiabls pride in the chief magistrate and likes to meet him. And if the president happens to be of such jovial and magnetic a per sonality as William H. Taft, mans ad- miration for him becomes more pro- nouncsd. No matter now noble and grand character president may be; if we never see him, we don't feel so much interest in the man personally. Albeit he was 8 good president, Grover Cleveland was not an extensive traveller and therefore he did not get so near the hearts of the people as his successors, Mckinley and Roosevelt. President Taft is beginning we'll and let us hope that his present trip is but the first ill a series of several that he will make oyer these United States during his incum- bency: for such travel tends to stimu- late patriotism.

DIR. COOK AND p EARY

The Peary-Dr. Cook controversy, or rather, the Peary onslaught, is a most deplorable affair. Before he made such an unwarranted and intensely jealous and orass attack on Dr. Cook, we had a pretty good opinion of the commander. But since he flashed the "Liar" message from the land of the Aurora Borealis, our opinion has undergone complete change.
 Psary was so envious of Cook, when be heard that the latter had arrived at the Pole ahead of him, that he literally "went up in the air" He lost his head and did the same as any man who loses his head-made fool of himself.
 The world first heard from Dr. Cook and he was therefore the first man hon rored. Then the world was electrified by the announcement that Peary had also been successful in his quest of the Pole. It was doubly gratifying to Amer jeans to learn that two fellow-country . men had conquered the frozen North, and we were ready to honor both dis ,cOverers. But as soon aS cOmmunica t on had been established with Peary he informed us that Cook had never been near the Pole Dr. Cook had said that he was there in 1908, year before Peary claims to have been thera. But Peary said, No, he has not been at the Pole on April 2lst, 1908, or any other time How was Peary to know what happened at the top e the world whole year be fore he visited that place?- indeed he was there at all. Maybe the hot headed commander sent an eskimo aheaC to wait at the Pole and play detective until he arrived. Perhaps there Is an Arctic detective agency do not know
 To be called liar aud an imp >stor, t( be so bitterly and unjustly assailed .aftel one has attained goal long sought, i surely enough to test mans character It is a fire test, as it were. Dr. Cook hal been through the fire and he has come out pure gold. He has borne himself with such courage, dignity and self restraint throughout the ordeal that th' worlds admiration of him has become unbounded. The supreme test is alway what tells. The test proves that Dr Cook is man and that Peary falls ia short of being one.

A FABLE FROM AESOP
THE ANT AND THE FLY.

An Ant and Fly one day disputed as to their respective merits. "Vile creep ing insect !'' said the Fly to the Ant "can you for moment compare your self with me? soar on wing like a bird. I enter the palaces of kings, and alight on the heads of princes, nay, of emperors, and only quit them to adorn the yet more attractive brow of beauty. Besides, visit the altars of the gods. Not a sacrifice is offered but is first tasted by me. Every feast. too, is open to me. eat and drink of the best, ill., stead of living for days on two or three grains of corn as you do" "All that $ very fine;" replied the Ant but listen to me. You boast of your feasting, but you know that your diet is not always so choice, and you are sometimes forced to eat what nothing should induce me to touch. AS for alighting on the heads of kings and emperors, you know very well that whether you pitch on the head of an emperor or of an ass (and 1t is as often on the one as the other), you are shaken off from both with impatience. And, then, the 'altars of the gods. in deed There and everywhere else you are looked upon as nothing but hui sance. In the winter, too, while I feed at my ease on the fruit of my toll, what more common than to see your friends dying with cold, hunger, and fatigue I lose ny time now in talking to you. Chattering will fill neither my bin nor my cupboard"
