Regarding Good Roads
4 The following paper was
read before the meeting of the
rural mail carriers, held at the
home of j. L. Hall on January
1st.
Brother Carriers: have
tried to prepare a piece on the
one subject that occupies the
largest place in the rural carri-
ers mind and the one thing
that they and their faithful
horses appreciate more than
most anything else and that is
H"Good Roads" Good roads
my friends is a big problem to
solve. There are a good many
ways to work a road and every
. one has their own ideas about
it and Of course ] have mine.
Mine may not tally with yours,
but as the saying goes, Two
heads are better than one if
one is a sheeps head.
My route is % miles long
and over some of the worst
hills a goat ever tried to CLINT;
and as crooked as q rams horn
1t lies almost entirely in Craw-
!, ord county,. I deliver mail to
only one patron iii this good
old Harrison county. In Craw-
ford county the townships are
consolidated into one road dis.
trict and are under one super.
visor he being under three
trustees. They hire him to do
the work and take his figures
and pay no attention to him
whatever unless some one COM
plains, then they will jack him
up a little an that is all it
amounts to for he goes right on
IN the same old way doing one
days work and chasing for
three, working the roads one
and Inspecting them the other
two One of the trustees told
me that there we're a little over
$1,000 to to BE- worked out in
the township | kept a pretty
close account of the work done
on my route this year. My
route is almost entirely under
this one man, as near as ] could
figure ] got ia the neighbor-
hood a IL days work not in
cludlng poll tax.
Now I will give them TN days
Tor 4 ,ing Iirfl, oil jos which
would make rs days work ! got
on "a miles Of road, now then
will allow them 26 days for
work done on the road ] do not
travel which if they didn't do
any more than they did on my
rout would be allowing them
enough. Now poll tax is not
included in this 81 days have
allowed them for work done in
the township So days work at
300 per day taaizes S156 Now
will allow them $500 for new
lumber in the rest of the town
ship than they did on the road
| travel Sl56 would be allow
ing too much. Now S156 for
work and $500 for lumber
would make S456, and that
from $1,000 leaves S744. Now,
! would like TO know what be-
came Of the rest of the money
there were 3 miles on my route
that was not touched and the
trustees claimed there was not
money enough in the treasury
to fix up. The trustees of Boy
er township allowed a bill Of
$50 for putting in an eight foot
bridge for work only such bills
as that show w ere the money
goes for if I could put that
bridge in two days myself l
would do it for nothing. There
is too much graft in the pres
ent system and | am heartily

Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman loca-
ted in Gage county nearly half
a century ago, making the first
filing under the homestead law.
The farm is located about seven
miles northwest of Beatrice on
Cub creek. In an early day Mr..
Freeman took an active part in
the upbuilding of Beatrice, and
surrounding country, and al
ways seemed to take considera-
bic satisfaction in knowing that
as the first homesteader he liv-
ed and prospered in Gage coun-
ty.
Mr.. Freeman, who was a SOL
dier in the civil war, was in Ne
braska on a furlough when the
homestead law became opera
tive and filed on the Gage coun-
ty land. His homestead certifi-
cate is marked No. l. and has
always been one of his proudest
possessions.

Northwestern to Change
Bridge
Ben T. White of the law de-
partment Of the Northwestern
railway, with headquarters at
Omaha, is in Washington to se-
cure legislation changing the
site Of the E!khorn railroad
bridge over the Niobrara. The
present bridge is low struct-
ure of wood and is not fitted to
take care of the traffic on this
division. The Northwestern in
improving its roadbed toward
the northwest has made arrange
ments to construct a steel
bridge across the Niobrara
some 500 feet west of the pres
ent Fort Niobrara reservation.
In order to build the bridge
congress will have to authorize
the change of site. The con-
templated bridge will be hi CHER
than the present structure. 1t
is understood the War depart
ment, which has supervision of
the Fort Niobrara military res
ervation, will not put anything
in the way of the railroad in
accomplishing its purpose as its
necessity is realized. Bee.
Corn exported from the
United States in 1908 was
32,000,000 bushels less than in
1907. Of the eight leading
corn ports Galveston alone
showed an increase in 1908 over
the preceding year, and this
gain was only 100000 bushels.
Exports of corn from New York
declined 100000 bushels:
For the same period Of time,
Baltimore declined 100000;
New Orleans 100000; Phila-
delphia more than 100000;
Chicago and Boston about
100000 bushels each, and

Naval Red Tape

A cast once occurred, which is vouch-
safed for by naval officers who were
present and who tell of it US a Joke,
showing the absurdities to which red
tape can go. About twenty years ago
a certain ship was in foreign port.
One of the men was taken sick and on
the recommendation of the surgeon was
sent to hospital on shore. The man
finally died, and it became necessary to
bury him.
The simple and straightforward
method would have been to call i'm an
undertaken and have him arrange for
decent casllct and IL lot in the cemetery.
This would he the usual procedure with
business man or ordinary citizen.
The reign of economy and reform, how
ever. would not permit of so simple a
course. What actually occurred was
this:
The surgeon made requisition on
the paymastcr for one coffin. Naturally
he did not have one in stock and there
fore it was it was forwared to the the
fleet paymaSter, who also not being in
the undertaking business, had no coffin
on hand. Then the admiral directed
the heet paymaster to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from six
reputable dealers. The same course had
to be followed in securing the grave.
The surgeon made iequsitiOn on the
paymaster for one grave. Strange as
it may seem, the paymaster had no
graves in stock. Neither had the fleet
paymaster. Consequently the com
mander III chief directed the fleet pay
master to procure bids from six reliable
dealers III graves and purchase one
from the lowest responsible bidder.
All this, Of course, is IL screaming
farce. but it is the horrible example to
show what comes when common sense
and experience are set aside to give room
for the play Of amateur and academic
fancy. Engineering

A member of the football club handed
the reporter the following this morning
with the request that it be published:.
The newly formed Association foot
ball club had its first game last night
Guilty number of those whose
acquaintance with the game dates back
to the days of their youth were enthu-
siastic members of the teams.
The sides were as follows: No. 1, S.
r. Hunt. Alec. Sutherland, Geo. Suther-
land, W. Hunt, q. P. Griffith, J. H..
Lewis and F. Frank. No. 2 J. S. Hay,
T. C. Jack, Alec. Campbell, A. Womack,
Alvin McFarlane, J. D. McFarlane,
Alex Hay.
The game was very evenly contested
and caused unlimited amusement to
those looking on.
After a few minutes of end to end
play j. D. McFarlane secured and with
great rush scored the first goal.
A little later Fred Frank equalized
from a good pass by Lewis.
After this reverse Jacks men played
up with renewed yigor and Tom Jack,
dribbling through, placed his side ahead
again.
Nothing daunted by this set back No.
1 team quickly got on terms again after
J. $. Hay had brought off a good save
when George Sutherland was almos
through.
The hot pace was beginning to make
its effect felt and most of the players
were perspiring freely by this time.
Half time was now called and on the
resumption Campbell who had been
showing his efficiency in goal now came
forward and quickly scored from neat
pass by A. McFarlane.
No. team again passed and after u
short bOmbardment forced the ball
through one of the defending backs
The score being now each 1t was
then decided to play until one side had
scored the winning goal and T. Jack
being left unworked ran down on the
right and beating the back scored the
winning goal amid loud cheers from
his colleagues and the spectators. Thus
ended most enjoyable game.

IMPORTANCE OF THEORY

Tine situation at Washington, says
the .ColnmOner, emphasizes the fact
that theory is. after all, absolutely
necessary if we are going to make any
progress in the discussion Of public
questions. Some say that a thing may
he theoretically good and yet bad in
practice. There is the objection which
the advocates of high tariff make to
arguments attacking the protective
principle, but that is II fallacy. That
which is theoretically good cannot be
had in practice, for if Il thing were bad
in practice it could not be good in
theory. The trouble is that people
sometimes want to do things inconsist-
ent with amy principle which they dare
10 present. The tariff discussions give
many Illustrations Of this. Some of the
Democrats oppose the principle of pro
lection, but seek to invoke that prin-
riple for the benefit of few protected
industries. while many Republicans,
tn the other hands urdently champion
the principle of protection, but ale
anxious to part from it when they come
10 the scheduling which especially
burdens their constituents, The result
is that the speeches and votes of pro-
f2ctiOniSt Democrats are used to prove
the insincerity of the Democratic party
III demanding tariff reform, and the
speeches and votes of the tariff reform
Republicans bring confusion to the
Republican ranks
Our senators and me nbcrs Of con-
s;resS ought to believe either in Il reve-
nue tariff or in IL protective tariff If
they believe in Il revenue tariff they
ought to apply the principle to in
duStries in their own districts as we'll
Us to industries in other DISTRICTS and
SO Republicans, ought to stand for the
protective principle, and stand for it
when the burden falls upon their own
district, rs when their own district re-
CcivcS special benefit from it. There
can he no moral or legal justification
for the framing of IL bill upon the theory
that majority of the members Of con-
s,rGs5 will get what they want, and tho,.
pass the bill without regard to the pro-
tests Of the minority.
IL the revenue theory is adopted IL
just tariff law can be drawn, for then
the schedules will be SO made as to col
iect the necessary revenue, andssthe bill
will stop when the necessary revenue is
secured and when the protective prin-
ciplc is adopted, the question of reve-
me is lost sight of and the schedules
may he so fixed rs to impose q heavy
burden without collecting the nee
c-sary revenue, and the protectionists
never know when to stop.
The arguments in favor If y revenue
tariff are unanSwcrabC and it would
not take long to bring maj Drity of the
voters to the support of this position if
we had newspapers to bring the argu-
mcnts to the attention of the voters
bnt with Il large majority of the papers
III the contested states supporting the
favor-Scekingc operations, it is difficult
10 get the facts known.
