GOOD ROADS VS.. MUD.

A writer In the Southern Good Roads Magazine
claims that one OF the saddest sights In Nature is
afforded by the farmer who stalls" in mudhoe with
bis load of produce. and who wears out himself. his
whip his vocabulary his religion and his mules trying
tosOyercDne the resistance OF the mud. And why this
same gentleman will cheerully pay his little 81 for the

envy Of all amateur ayators when II is suggested that

question only matched by the riddle OF the Sphinx.
The u 8: Office Of Public Roads estimates that
3250,000O0o are wasted annually bad roads In this
Country and that the additional loss occasoned by these
same roads brings the total tax up to about billion
dollars. This charge OF $3.50 year against
every man. woman and child in the country II this

not be tolerated for instant but like all indirect taxes
Il IS not felt keenly SO we still put up with our
mudboles, sloughs thankyoumarns and dust storms
and get highly indignant when someone suggests that
we do not know how to fix our own thoroughfares
Over 80 per cent OF the roads in the United States
are dirt roads, and yet they to be iriendless
When road Improvement Is suggested II usually means
maeadam construction whereas every dirt road In the
district could be made into fair highway. one that
would give good service at all times for the cost OF
few miles OF stone road The poor old dirt road Is
neglected and cursed while someone would only give

The whole secret Of good road of any kind is to
keep the water off from IL and away from t. OF

A FORWARD STEP
Taken by Senate in Consideration Of
Railroad Bill.

Washington, May 12.-Agreeing to i
proposal by Senator Elkins to begin vot-
ing on the long and short-haul amend
mcnt to the railroad bill tomorrow at 4
o'clock the Senate today took Il forward
step in the consideration of the bill.
The agreement provides that the voting
power shall he concluded within the leg
isatve day" This is an elastic ar
Engagement and if the voting should be
prolonged there might he a recess until
Saturday. If the Dixon amendment
should be voted down, "a number of 9TH
crs will be offered and under the agree
ment they can he debated if discussion
is desired.
The first vote will be on the Dixon
amendment as substitute for the Hey
burn provision. Both of these provisions
seek to stiffen the present statute, but
the Dixon substitute gives the Interstate
Commerce Commission more discretion
than the other.
The organization Republicans are conf
dent of the defeat of all amendments.
Conceding that 10 Republican votes will
he cast for the Dixon provision, they
claim from T. to II Democratic votes
against it. The smaller number would
give them majority of five. Not all OF
the advocates of the provision concede
the claim Some of them contend that
the Republican detection will grow to q
while they assert that not to exceed
eight or nine Democrats will vote with
the regular Republicans.
Towards the close of the days session
there was considerable discussion of the
status of the railroad bill and other bus
mess before the Senate, with the result
that the Senate reached an agreement
t" meet daily beginning on Monday next
at II instead of T. o'clock. There also
WAS an understanding that practically
all other business. even including appro-
priation bills, should be excluded until
disposition was anade of the railroad bill.

There is always question as to
whether the average student will survive

Peru and Ecuador
Coming to Blows,

ceiveu here points to an early conflict he

over their boundary dispute. A dispatch
received today at the state deps rtmcnt
from the United States consulate AT
Guay1quil, Ecuador states that President
Alfaro has left the capitol for the front
with 800 troops. 1t is not known at the
state department at what frontier point
the Peruvian army is concentrating but
the Ecuadorian forces are understood To
be modifying at Machala the capital of
the mos, southwesterly province
Members of the diplomatic corps hav.
ing knowledge of the conditions in
these countries. say that both Peru and
Ecuador are financially in no condition
to stand the expense of a war. Some
months ago Peru. it is said. negotiated a
loan in France of S1,10O 900 Oh very ex.
tlaordinary conditions. She pledged as
security the Detroit taxes or those col
lected from citizens bringing provisions
and other commodities into the city for
sale. This is regarded as very un.
usual proceeding.
Peru has standing army of about
1000 officers and men, but it is under
stood that prescriptions have brought
the force UP to perhaps twice that num-
Der She also has five war vessels, two
of them being fast, new cruisers Of
three thousand tons each.
The Ecudorian army consists of about
1000 officers and men with an available
national guard of some considerable
strength. She has two small vessels
that might be used for transports in
case of war, but nothing sufficient for
