In Nebraska. the Democratic party
favored moro effective system OF
road laws that will provide for state

The Democrats Of illinois favored
good road laws which will divide the eN-
pense or construction and maintenance
of country road construction between
the township, the county and the state.
They also favored removing convict
labor from competition with free labor
by employing convicts in the produc-
tion OF material for permanent road

In Colorado, the Democrats approved

These instances of progressive inter

would maintain her present high posi-
ton among these states, the counties
which have no good roads must take
up the matter and take it up without
delay.

The Post-Oftice Department is re-
questing now that Christmas presents
be mailed as soon as possible. This is
reasonable request and ought to be
complied with The placing of such
gifts in the local post-ofioes just a
few days before Christmas is not only
a great tax on the postal service, but
it is also detrimental to the sender,
since the great postal traffic at such
times makes 1T uncertain whether such
presents will be received on Christmas
Day as intended.
The POST Office Department suggests
that gifts be sent early and that there
be written on the wrapper of packages

TIE MILE.

Champ Clark is reported to have de-
hlea the story that he ever said that
II he should be elected Speaker of the
next House he would drive team OF
mules down Pennsylvania Avenue, and
we are pleased that he will not go into
that sort of an exhibition. We agree,
however with the Columbia State.
mat the mule Is one of the most useful
members of progressive society. He
mas never had his share Of human re-
spect' IN spite of the fact that he has
done more to build up the South than
any other agency, biped or quadruped.
lie Is patient until 1t is almost a sin;
he rarely kicks out of the traces; he
goes to bed at night without having
MS face or feet washed; he gets UP In
the morning with nobody to comb his
mar or massage his Sides he works
all day under whip and swears: he
IS never consulted as to the quality or
the quantity of his food, and when his
legs are swollen and his Joints stiff
ana his ribs show through his moth
eaten hide, he is turned out to grass,
where there is no grass, and the birds
OF the air finally feast upon his bones.
II is hard luck story with the mule
all his days, and we are glad that
there Is one man engaged In the Jour
nallsm OF the South who has the cour-
age TO speak of this splendid agent Of
lelVili2ation, Willie Gonzales could not

a WISE MOVE.

The New Mexico constitutional Con-
vention has at last framed the consti-
tuition for that state. 1t adopted many
important measures and engrafted
them into the organic law of the new
state; but the best thing it did, in our
opinion, was to write into the new
Constitution provision that the fee
system shall be abolished.
That was wise move, and we only
wish that it were Incorporated into
the Constitution of every State. The
fee system is doomed to go. and it
ought to so. 1t fosters many iniqui-
ties in the transaction of government
tai business. It ought to be abolished
in Virginia.

political parties in the different States
as to good roads has lately come to
our notice. The platforms adopted in

of these States have but one political
party
1t is shown that the political
parties of thirty one States have this
year endorsed the policy of good roads.
Every Southern State in which there
was a convention endorsed the improv-
ed highways movement This proves
that the reform is being considered in
every part of this great nation.
There We're number OF specific
planks relating to good roads endorsed
by the parties in the several States. In

! legislation creating general road dis
tricts, whereby public highways may
be laid out, improved and maintained.

! favored the appropriation of the money
derived from the Improvement fund to
the use of the State Highway Commits
sion to be equitably apportioned and
distributed among the several coun-
! ties of the State for the purpose Of
| erecting roads and bridges. Changes
of the road laws to provide for smaller
road districts in the several counties
1 with local self government of local
road matters likewise We're approved,
The Democratic party In Pennsyl-
vania Insisted on more economical
| and workmanllke construction, and de-
! clared that such roads should be built
! from country centres to accommodate
! rural districts and the general public
rather than a few broad highways
The Republican party of Montana re-
| commended an amendment to the road
I law to secure more and better results
for the money available, and COM

usual method
The construction Of good roads by
penitentfary conyicts was favored by
the Democratic party in Wyoming,
Arkansas and Illinois, and by the Re-
publican party in Texas, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee

be devoted to good roads was made by
the Democratic party in New Hamp.

New Hampshire and Delaware This is
already done In Virginia,
