A Western railroad president recently took
some farmers from the Southwest through the
Eastern States to show them how they build
roads in the East But evidently these roads
arc not so good as they seem. The State High
way Commissioner OF Connecticut says that the
roads OF that State are good for from ten to ff-
teen years, but the Bridgeport Post doubts the
truth of the statement. The Post remarks that
il the roads were fully supervised and repaired
each year, they might last as the commissioner
says. The Bridgeport paper declares that the
Connecticut state roads are fine affairs for the
first two or three years, but after two or three
years they gradually so TO pieces. We have
much to learn in the way of road building, but
one thing certain is that roads must be attended

PROHIBITION CELEBRATION.

II HE Prohibition party recently celebrated
u the fortieth anniversary Of its founding
Twenty thousand people assembled at Chicago
in honor Of the event. Probably no other party
could oct so large a proportion Of its voters at
a rally. for what the Prohibitionists lack in
numbers as a national SArty they evidently make
up in enthusiasm.
AS party the Prohbtionists have made but
little growth In 1904 the Prohibition candidate
for President polled 2s8,847 votes and last year
the party polled 24I,2s2. Last year was nos a
good time for the smaller parties. The Socialist
vote did not increase so much as was expected.
In 1000 the Prohibitionists polled a trihe more
than 100000 votes.
The victories for the "drys" in different COM
munities have not been won by the Prohibition
party, although that party has had much to 90
with creating "dry" sentiment But in the
Southern States the "drys" have won owing
to causes other than those which are usually
urged by Prohibitionists in their propaganda

DR. HADLEY,s ApVIcE.

LIVING the incoming Freshman class at
Yale University the customary advice at
the beginning OF their college course, President
Hadley told the new students to think for them
selves and not to drift along with the crowd
He said they ought to accept the responsible
ties OF college life as training for the responsi
bilites of citizenship after graduation This IS
very good advice but it is a question whether
the Freshmen or any other college students need
il SO much as do the ordinary men III active
life A Freshman doesn't have to be very long
In college before he begins to think very rapidly,
and he has his own opinions about how the col
lege should be managed whether Smith or
Brown should be captain OF the football team
or whether Taft is right in his praise OF Aid
rich Sometimes in his independence OF Thought
he might think that he could do better as Pres
ident OF Yale than DR.. Hadley is doing. There
IS -Ro-tfrxble about getting Freshmen to think.

therefore whether the Yale Freshmen are in
need of the advice given by the university presi-
dent
1t is the man out in the world that is likely
TO stop thinking, and many man, even should
he think and express his views on all questions,
should he not follow the crowd, would get into
trouble and possibly have to 80 to Arden to live.

England, not so very far from the home OF Pres
ident Hadley lie did some thinking, in politi-
cal campaign, did not follow the Eastern crowd,
and il was made so uncomfortable for him that
he had to retire as president
President Hadey, however, had all that in minc
for he says that right and independent thinking
sometimes means physical pain and hardship
sometimes moral exile and separation from one

STRUCK BY ROCK.
Aged Man Dangerously Injured at
Temperance Rally at Holly Pond.

Cullman, September 30.-(Special. )-Ac-
cording to reports received here disorder
following a temperance rally at Holly
Pond, 10 miles from Cullman. last night,
resulted seriously for Rufus Bailey, an
aged citizen, who is in a serious condi
ton, having been struck a violent blow
on the head by a rock thrown by a MEM
Der of the crowd attending the meeting.
According to reports received a small
riot was narrowly averted. The occasion
of the gathering was an address on pro-
hibition by a Texas preacher, who has
recently figured in the courts at Tusca-
loosa and Cullman as the result of trouble
growing out of his speaking on the
streets.
1t seems that Immediately after Adams
had concluded his speech he was standing
talking to a group of men when some one
threw stone and struck Rufus Bailey
on the head. The aged man sank to the
ground and he is now in very precarious
condition. 1t is not believed that he will
survive.
When the stone which struck Bailey had
been thrown part of the crowd became
very rowdy and 1t Is stated that someone
fired into the crowd with pistol For
tunately no one was hurt. No clew could
be secured as to who threw the rock or
fired the pistol and no arrests have been
made in connection with the trouble.
