IN RE GOOD ROADS.

At the road meeting last week
Gen. F. A. Bond, of Hunters
Lodge, said that if he were blind
folded and carried 500 miles,
with no idea as to where or in
what direction he had been TAX
en-, he could tell just about what
land was worth by the condition
of the roads. If the roads were
permanent, good and broad, he
would not hesitate to say that
land was worth SIS to 500 an
acre, or more; if the roads were
as sorry as some in this county
he would be certain that land
was not worth more than SIS or
$40 the acre. And that's the
story in a nutshell. But the
plan proposed at that meeting of
going back to the old unWieldy
system of having three men in
each township to look after the
roads in each township is a
farce, pure and simple. 1t does
not take any Daniel, come to
Judgment, to see through the
small game of politics those who
propose returning to this plan
hope to play. The present sys'
tenn may not be the best-we are
not defending it, particularly
butt has accomplished more thar
the system to which it is proposed
to return ever accomplished, and i
would seem that simple common
sense would suggest giving it ;
fair trial. If a change is mad
let it be for the sake of goo,
roads and to a better plan, an,
not simply for political advan
tage. Good roads are infnitel
more important than political ad
vantages for any set of men. Flo
love of grace let's have don
with petty politics and conside
the matter with an eye single
- securing good roads, eliminatin
all other considerations.
1t is hard to see why peopl
shy so at the idea of a bond is
sue. 1t is absolutely the onl
way in which money can be raj.
ed for building permanent road.
and no matter how judiciousl
the money available now is sper
it is little better than pouring
in a hole, no matter what tt
system. The necessary bond i
sue would not increase taxes
dollar, land values would increa,
some SO per cent, and so wit
the passing years the tax wou
become lighter and lighter.
there is any other way to g,
money to build permanent roa
in this county we wish some OF
would kindly point it out.

A Fire at Boardman.
Correspondence of The Robesonian,


The Buffers Lumber Company
suffered the loss of one of it's
double dry kilns on Monday
night, the 18th. The fire is thought
to have started from a spark
from the smoke stack of the
planning mill, and it got a good
start before it was discovered.
The alarm sounded at about Clio
pm. Five lines of hose and the
chemical apparatus responded,
and after heroic work succeeded
in keeping the blaze confined to
one kiln. The loss is covered by
instance.

To Benefit Its Patrons.

The new time tables issued by the
Erie Railroad have blank sheet
attached on which passengers are
asked to write their criticisms of the
service, and forward the same to the
management of the company. The
fact illustrates the confidence of the
management in the quality of SER
vice which the road renders to it's
patrons. If there were many points
of criticisms the management would
hardly dare to take the course which
it has adopted. A few years ago
such an invitation extended to all
passengers would have brought to
the passenger thousands of COM
plants, and jests at the expense of
the roads service. But the Erie
service is no longer a joke. The
trains are run promptly on time and
the commuters are satisfied.-New
York Wall Street Journal.

Tariff Nothing to do With High
Prices,

Senator Lodge made a tariff speech
few days ago up in Boston which
ought to cause Democratic free trad
ers, and those who Influenced by
their plausible arguments continu-
ally talk about reducing the tariff
to pause and ponder and take new
bearings. The tariff tinkers COM
plain that the tariff has increased
the cost of living and that for the
sake of the working man it should
be reduced in order that the neces-
saries of life can be reduced. Sena-
tor Lodge shows the fallacy of such
argument from the fact that the tar
iff is not responsible for the high
prices of necessities. He says:
Do not be misled by the cry about
high prices. High prices are not
made by the tariff. If they were
they would be easily dealt with.
The worlds prices have been ad-
vancing for the last fifteen years.
Study Sauerbeck's tables which ap-
pear monthly in the London Times,
ana you will find that with a few ex-
ceptions, like sugar, where there is
overproduction, all the worlds prices
have been advancing, partly from
increased demand, largely from the
increased production of gold, which
means cheapening of gold and a
corresponding increase in everything
measured by or bought with gold.
Fuel and food staples are COM
paratively cheaper here than any
where; they are not affected by the
tariff, but they have advanced Just
the same because the worlds price
has advanced. In the manufactured
articles some are cheaper here than
abroad because investive skill and
domestic competition have brought
them down.
Other articles made here cost more
than elsewhere because the labor
costs more, and just there is the
whole tariff question. If you destroy
the protective duties, as the Demo-
cratic party in this state proposes,
you must either stop making the
protected articles, which means
throwing thousands out of employ
ment, or you must bring your wages
to the foreign level. There is no
other place where reduction can
be made except on wages. Capital
will not be invested without a fair
return.

the school laws, raise money for libra
ries, keep all kinds of records, plant
trees on Arbor day, be of good moral
character, and pass an examination

For these accomplishments she re-
ceives $50 a month. Out of this she
pays her board, buys her clothes, at
tends the summer schools, buys edu-
cational papers and books, attends
county conventions, and furnishes
slate pencils for the pupils. What
is left she adds to her bank account
or starts Il bank If she prefers. I'm

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. GA fighter
and a boxsr-and the fighter into the
discard, Such was the result of the
Packy Acknowledgment bout in
the Hippodrome here. After ten
rounds of savage fighting and some
very clever work with his hands and
feet By Mcfarland Referee Coffey
gave the decision to the latter. The
decision was just.
In the ten rounds of the fight Nc
Farland landed enough punches to
win seventeen lightweight champion
ships. There never was round that
he did not land right and left at will
somStimeS they were straight, some
times they were hooks-and always a
dozen savage right uppercuts in each
round.
Thompson put up the same fight in
the last round that he did in the FIRST
one, and apparently he was just as
strong. he was always willing to re-
eSive anything Packy had to deal.

THE TOWN COUNCIL

Met at the town hall on Thurs
day evening. All members were
present; also H. Wilson, the borough
attorney. Chief Engineer Lyons
and President Wood of Protection
Engine were present as a committee
from that company. Mr.. Lyons re-
ported that he was one of commit
tee appointed by the Engine Co. to
purchase two hose carts to be
equipped with 500 feet of hose each,
and to be placed at such places as
the council might suggest, these
hose carts to be paid for by Protec-
tion Engine company Mr.. Wood
stated that the members of Protec-
tion Engine company felt that the
proposed formation of another fire
company by the Town Council was
reflection upon their efficiency as a
fire company. He stated that Pro-
lection Co. had been very efficient in
the past; that they occupied central
position in the borough and could
reach any portion of it, in five minu-
tes with a light-running hose cart,
and in furnishing these two new
hose carts at their own expense,
they hoped to still further increase
their efficiency and save the taxpay-
ers the unnecessary expense or equip
ping and maintaining another fire
company. The question of Electric
Light service was taken up and dis
cussed and committee continued.
Scrip was issued to T. B. Clark, Pat
rick Dunnigan, and Fred Krietner.
Permission was granted to w. w.
Wood to use the large room of the
town hall to drill the Boys Brigade.

appointed to have the old D. G H.
office building repaired and put in
order for the new fire company.
1t was resolved to buy 400 feet of
hose at 95 cents a foot and also a
hose cart for the the use of the new
fire company to be located down
town.
A petition was presented object
ing to Councilman Genung serving
on the board. Same was referred to
the borough's attorney.

The case of Honesdale Cruelty to
Animal Society VS.. Susan Hirt, was
argued. On May Mrs. Hirt brought
horse to the hotel of v. Miller, at

to take charge of the horse. 1t was
brought to Honesdale and since that

Barnes, at the expense of the So
ciety. Mrs. Hirt was arrested on the
charge of cruelty to animals. The
defendant claims that Mr.. Miller
traded the horse with her husband
and gave two and one-half dollars
and another horse in exchange. Mrs.
liirt claimed her husband did not
own the horse as the animal belong
ed to her and that her husband was
intoxicated when he made the trade.
Tho horse he secured was of no use
so she brought the animal to Mr..
Mczler's place and told him to take
care OF it and the latter refused.
! Witnesses testified to seeing the
horse tied to II post in front of Mr..
Mezler's place.
