The st. Adams Messenger opens
a column editorial on good roads
with the following sentences:
Cautious citizens will notice that
no less prudent and safe fnancier
than President Joseph A. DeBoer,
of the National Life Insurance Co.,
is in favor of the states issuing
bonds for the purpose of building
up-to-date highways. Good business
policy for an individual is generally
good business policy for a collection
of individuals united in common
purpose and undertaking, when the
objects to be gained by this group
are as material and the prospects
for their accomplishment as tangible
as the individuals business venture.
Here is the foundation stone of the
waste of public money from which
this whole country suffers. IfpubIic
money were as carefully worked
out as is the " business policy of the
individual our money would go a
long ways further building good
roads, good buildings or good govern
ment. The waste of money is not
always graft in public places, but
more often it comes through this
idea that public business may be
lone on a different basis than private
business and get successful results.
Apropos of good roads, we have some
md we want more; and we are lucky
o have good State Road Commits
ier who is working toward that
nd intelligently.

Nature makes the cures
after all.
Now and then she gets
into a tight place and
needs helping out.
Things get started in
the wrong direction.
Something is needed to
check disease and start
the system in the right
direction toward health.

Col. Henry Watterson has been
talking again. He evidently has
the "yellows" in mind when he says:
" Pretending to be the especial
defenders of liberty, we are becoming
the invaders Of private rights. :"
Very often when we read the mass
of stuff turned into some papers
as copy" it seems as if no rights
had been respected. The sale of
these papers point unmistakably to
the fact that it is what a large part
of the public buys and pays for.
However it is safe to say that the
general public is like the particular
public centered in a small town.
They want every detail printed about
everybody else except themselves.
They enjoy reading about the other
fellow, in other words.

Walter Wellman, who went up
north to get the Pole in his airship,
has returned without the Pole.
He says he is glad he missed it and
this country ought to be if it save
a three-cornered fight. Missing
one good thing, he seems to think
that he has missed a lot of trouble.

The death of C. n. Crittenton the
other day, brings into prominence his
work. Twenty years ago he went
into the work of saving fallen women
by providing homes where they were
taken care of, taught useful occupa-
tions and good morals, until now
there are over seventy homes for
these outcasts from society scattered
over the country. His daughter
Florence, started him on this work
of philanthropy, as he made her
his promise to take up this mission
when she lay upon her death bed.

WELL RECOMMENDED.

Experience Is the best tescher-the
only teacher. The chronic crosspstch
doesn't know the joy Of being kind. The
miser cannot know the happiness of CIV
log or spending money to help some one
he has not had the experience. The
man who is bound down by business OBJ.
legations, social ties, political applies-
tions, religious fesrs and supsrstitions,
doesn't know freedom, for he hss not
experienced it. II you want to win at
gambling, don't gamble. If you want
justice in this life, you'll find it in the
dictionary. But if you want to zee a
continuation of excellent vaudeville &C
companied by the best song and dance
artists on the American stage 80 to the
Opera House tonight. One picture
among the many good ones tonight will
be "Ths Inauguration Parade" As
this is the first time this picture has
been shown it will naturally attract an
unusual crowd.
