Good Roads Out of Ixnns-

Some time ago the merchants Of
Lyons, Kansas, decided that they
would try dragging one mile of the
public roads each way out of Lyons
after the manner Of the King road
drags. They hired some men and put
them to work. In a little time the
road became almost like a pavement.
1t gave them splendid satisfaction.
The ia rmers saw what had been
done in the making of this piece Of
road and it so impressed them that
they concluded to try a few miles.
They induced the townships to buy
the drags, which are not expensive,
and went to dragging. Now they
have seven miles of road that is like
a macadam, and sheds the rain off
so that they are in splendid shape.
The people of that county are very
enthusiastic over their success and
will keep on making this kind of road
They are urging the townships all
over the county to purchase drags
for this purpose and the farmers
agree to do the work.
This is sample of what might be
done if it was taken hold of in the
right way. The roads leading out of
Great Bend could be put in the same
shape by this method. Why can it
not be done?

The Irish Control.

Strangely enough. both the liberal andr the unionist parties claim to have won a victory in the British elections the liberals. because they are re- turned to power Ghey assuming that the laborites and the Irish national ists will stand with them); and the unionists profess to be satisfied be- cause their tremendous gains amount to a practical approval of their poli- -cies by the country.
 Premier Asquith probably is safe in assuming that his allies of the late parliament will continue to support the liberal party: there is scarcely q remote chance that the Irish party will consent to place the unionists in power But in striking d bargain with the liberals the Irish. it may be taken for granted, will exact the lit- eral fuIfillment of MT. Asquith's cam paign promises of home rule. They will not be satisfied with anything less than actual control of Irish af- fairs by officers elected by the Irish people.

The Phoenix Way.

A remarkable example of Phoenix enterprise is the project for an avia- ton exhibition here. Within a few hours the necessary funds were raised, and the success of the plan assured. Incidentally, Phoenix won a victory over San Francisco. which also was trying to secure this new crowd drawing attraction.
 The two things remaining to be done in order to assure absolute suc- cess are: The proper advertising of the meeting, and due precautions for taking care of the crowds.
 Display space should be bought in all the papers of the territory outside of Phoenix.
 If the proper advertising is done, and the cooperation of the press of the territory obtained. the crowds will come-there need be no fear on that score.
 And when the crowds come. we must take good care of them. A com mittee should be appointed that will take energetic charge of this problem. All householders who can rent rooms to visitors should be requested to in form the committee as to the number of visitors they can accommodate, and give the street numbers of their houses, and the telephone numbers as well. Visitors who cannot get hotel accommodations should be directed to the quarters of the entertainment committee. where, by proper checking of the list of available lodgings in private houses. they can be at once comfortably placed. By this method the city can readily take care of many thousands of visitors without anybody being subjected to the slightest an- noyance or discomfort.

The Knox Plan Defeated.

The rejection of the proposal made by Secretary Knox for the neutraliza- tion of the Manchurian railway marks the first important defeat sustained by American diplomacy in many years. This plan was. in a few words. that Japan and Russia should sell their railroad holdings in Manchuria to China under an international guaranty of neutrality, the purchase money to be loaned by a syndicate of bankers representing the leading powers com mercially interested in the mainte- nance of the "open door Japan and Russia. after exchanging views. agreed 10 reject the proposition. Great Britain. as the ally of Japan. decided to fol- low the lead of the latter country. and France felt bound by her alliance with Russia to agree with Russia. Ger many is understood to have been fla vorable to the proposal. but has made no formal reply. China was the only power that openly approved the atti- tude of the United States
 While the official replies were not forthcoming until within the last day or two, it has been evident for week ar more from foreign newspaper ex- pressions that the scheme was doomed to failure. The Japanese and French papers, particularly, have been out spoken in jeering at the American scheme
 The reasons which prompted Secre- tary Knox to urge his plan upon the powers were thus set forth by the department of state:
 Tt would insure unimpaired Chinese sovereignty. the commercial and in- dustrial development of the Manchu- rian provinces. and furnish a substan- tial reason for the early solution of the problems of fiscal and monetary reform which are now receiving such earnest attention by the Chinese gov ernment. It would afford an Oppor- tunity for both Russia and Japan to shift their duties. responsibilities, and expenses in connection with these railways to the shoulders of the com hined powers. including themselves. Such a policy. moreover. would effect a complete commercial naturalization of Manchuria. and in so doing make | a large contribution to the peace Of the world by converting the province ! of Manchuria into an immense com mercial neutral zone"
 The soundness of the American po- | sition cannot be questioned. condi- tions in Manchuria are dangerous to | the peace of the world. Japanese and | European jealousy of America was no | doubt influential in the reasons which l led the objecting powers to act in | concert in turning down the Knox | proposal.

Steel Cars a Necessity.

In the account of the horrible wreck on the Canadian Pacific railway a fact of great significance was stated in a single line:.
 The strong construction of the din ing car saved it's occupants"
 In every wreck in which passenger cars are crushed the lack of strong construction is one of the contributing causes of loss of life So fully is this appreciated that all railway managers agree that the all-steel car is bound to be the passenger car of the future and steel cars are called for in pur- chases of new equipment on many roads now. It may he necessity, how ever. for congress to enact a law re- quiring all passenger and mail cars to be constructed of steel before these cars can be made to supplant the flimsy wooden coaches entirely.

ton. According to the reports, the suggestion is:
 1. That the democrats of the terri tory elect no lawyers to the constitu- tional convention;
 ? That the democratic party in the convention shall look to the Hon. E. E. Ellinwood of Bisbee and the Hon. Eu- gene s. Ives of Tucson for legal ad- vice on all questions arising during the deliberations of the convention.
 We fear that MT. Hampton and MT. Burns, both of whom are noted for having a keen sense of humor, have been ''stringing" some of their demo- cratic brethren for the mere purpose of injecting some ginger into the sleeping democratic party of Arizona.
 The democratic party has numerous ambitious lawyers who will wish to have a hand in framing the constitu- ton. and it is wholly likely that they would be heard from in vigorous lan- guage were the alleged proposal of Mir Hampton and Mir. Burns to be made seriously
 The eminence of MT. Ives and MT Ellinwood at the bar qualities them, certainly. for any tasks that might be assigned to them in framing the con- stitution But we cannot imagine that either of them would relish a pro- posal which burdened them with the work of framing a constitution for democratic approval and gave them no responsibility therefor If either of them should care to take a hand in constitution making we should ex- pect them to frankly seek member ship in the convention itself
 Notwithstanding the obvious ab- surdity of the scheme attributed to Messrs. Burns and Hampton. we un- derstand that some of the faithful are taking it seriously and are men, tally disturbed

Roosevelt a Possible Speaker.

The future of Mir Roosevelt in the politics of the country continues to concern many people. The latest sug- gestiOn is that he be elected to con- district. and by the house elected speaker This proposal comes from gentlemen who are opposed to Speaker Cannon and to his arbitrary ways. and the suggestion has the merit of hu- nor. at least. when the temperamental characteristics of the two men are considered. To exchange the tyran- nical gavel of MT. Cannon for the fa- nous big stick might leave the insur- gents in worse plight than before.
 Should MT. Roosevelt go to congress he would be the second eX-president to take up the career of a national legislator. John Quincy Adams. it will be remembered, served with distinc- ton in the house of representatives after he left the presidency. He served continuously from 1881 to 1S4S. man he added to his reputation as a statesman. While serving in congress he was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Massachusetts
 No doubt MT. Roosevelt can go to congress if he wishes. and he prob ably could have the speakership with out question if the republicans con- trol the next house

new RULES LIKED

Farfbault, Mimi, Dec. ia compi-
lation Of the injuries received by the
/ cadets who participated in football
4 practice during the fall term brings to
/ bght some very interesting figures.
/ Out of an attendance OF zoo, ninety
cadets chose football as their sport.
fifty played tennis, eight desired to
participate in soccer and thirty select
ed cross-country running Seniors
and those who had received previous
injuries were not regularly expected
! TO enter any branch OF athletics. There
We're no injuries in any sport except
football. The system is such that a
cadet is sent to the school hospital on
discovering the slightest injury.
| Nineteen received slight sprains
which IN most cases required only one
| treatment. Nine received dressing on
account of slight skin abrasions, one
| cadet has a rib rebroken, another a
fractured bone In the hand, and an
other cadet slightly fractured nose.
During the whole season there was not
serious injury which speaks well for
the new style Of play.
| Mickey and Captain Hay have easily
won their places on the basketball
team this season, but the other mem
bers of the quint are not certain as
yet. Werner is doing some clever floor

head well, but is rather weak at shoot.

drtbbles well, but is weak on basket
shots. Caswell is much the same type
of player. Skinner, during the last
week of practice has been playing like
a veteran, and may displace one Of the
regulars.

The baseball players of last spring
have nearly all been graduated. The

Whether Coach Bolen will be able to
