THE EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS ON
POPULATION.

IOBLsatAp4Ns
The Kansas city Star has been study
ling the census figures for Missouri anu
has come to the conclusion that the
falling off in population in nine conn-
ties of Missouri was because these
counties have failed to improve theif
roads. That there is great deal OIL
truth in this view there can be no
doubt.
Nine counties in Missouri have 1,7oS
miles of good roads. Their population
in ten years shows an increase OF
a9.667. Four other counties have also
gone forward in roadmaking. They
have not yet constructed 100 miles, Of
improved roads each. but they have
enough to show that they are going
right after this great reform, These
four counties have gained 1s166in pop
ulation in the last ten years.
The county without good roads in
progressive age like this is not as
likely to grow in population as the
county which has good roads.
Good roads directly affect the question
of population. Good roads mean more
population. The counties that have no
interest in good roads probably have
taken no interest in better schools
better methods of farm work, better
/ comforts and conveniences of life
! They have, therefore, not attracted

DRAWING THE LINES ON THE

'rhe Rev. Herbert a. Jump, of New
Britain Connecticut, has published a
letter expressing his satisfaction that
the Lyceum in that town has arrang
ed to offer its people two such attrac-
tons as Maud Adams and the Man OF
the Hour He is pleased that the
former bitter opposition among tho
Christians of New Britain to the
theatre, when the theatre Is clean, is
passing away and that there Is a dis
position among them to patronize plays
of the better sort. This Is wholly ex-
collent position for him to take; but
the trouble about the stage is that so
many plays of an erotic sort have been
forced in recent years that the public
has lost much of it's taste for drama
Of the higher class. One of the mis-
takes that good people have made Is
that they nave not distinguished be-
tween the good and the bad, but have
condemned the stage generally, not
with the result of improving the
stage, but rather of degrading it.
There are hundreds of plays that
could be seen by the most righteous
without injury to any of their gar
ments; such plays. for example. as "The
Man From Home 'rhe Gentleman
From Mississippi" '"rhe House Next
Door, Tho Old Homestead" and

NOTHING Lice IT SINCE TWEED.


The World thinks that Horace White
will gain historical distinction by be-
ing the last Republican Governor OF
New York under the Platt-odell-
Roosevelt regime, and then it INDUCES
in this brief review of what has hap
pened while this trinity of choice
spirits have been in control:
And what reign of corruption these
last fifteen years nave produced!-
life insurance graft, fire insurance
graft Metropolitan Traction graft
street railway graft, canal graft, tur-
naceyille graft, beet-sugar graft bridge
graft, Adirondack graft wall street
graft. There has been nothing ike
it since Tweed's day. Is there any
thing in New York upon which the
Grand old Party has not levied and
collected tribute?
The World seems to forget, however,
that all this occurred before it was
found that the Old Moralities could be
applied to the new conditions. II was
lust as much of sin to steal fifteen
years ago. and to strike the thieves
for a rake-off on their swag for politi-
cal purposes as it is to-day but all
this grating was done, it must be
remembered, before the Old Moralities
were rediscovered. and now things are
going to be better-the people are
going to elect Dix such result will
put enough ginger in the Old Morali-
ties to take New York safely through
the Presidential election in 1912.
