GOOD ROADS.

in tFis issue appear two articles on
Good Roads, that should be read by
every man end woman in Carroll
county. One is the speech of Mr.. A.
j.. Craig, General Passenger Agent of
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Co., delivered some time ago before
the Oregon State Road Association.
So impressed was the United States
Government with it's common sense
that it later published it as cir
cular of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The other is an editorial from
the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky.
Nothing we can say can add any
weight to this article, for that paper
stands at the front of newspapers in
this country, and it, utterances are
couched in such telling language that
conviction follows reading. Let no
one fail to read them, for at this time
of doubt as to positive road improve
ment in our county, they will be,
owing to their absolutely reliable
character, of great help in passing up
on live question.

WHO'S ANANIAS ?

We are sorry that the terrible con-
dition in our public schools depicted
by the Editor of our esteemed contem-
porary, The American Sentinel, in an
interview with a pupil, has SO long
remained undiscovered. Whether our
ignorance comes from want of sleuth-
like qualities we know not, but what
we do realize is, THAI if what he says
is true, no language would be too
harsh in condemning our public SER
wants for such plain neglect of their
duty. And yet the teachers. say it il
false. Who's Ananias ?
We are loath to believe the men and
women we know and have known for
years, whose private lives are such as
would neglect their public duties to
such an extent a. the Sentinel de-
scribed. Such indifference on their
part to the child's welfare is hardly
conceivable.
Teaching the youthful mind to
sprout is difficult matter, under the
most favorable circumstances. We
know that a great deal Is expected
which cannot be performed, and we
also realize that too much attention is
being paid to theoretical studies,to the
injury of those practical. But the
teacher il not to blame for this; he
or she has to obey the orders of the
State Superintendent, who lays down
the curriculum.
So the teachers are not to be at
tackled and should not be censured for
obeying orders. Go after the men
higher up who give the orders to the
teachers. Leave the men and women
alone who are doing the best they can
to train our children properly and hit
where responsibility lies And in do
ing 50 wouldn't it do well to leave
politics out of the question and stand
up simply for what is right If you
undertake the job of withdrawing the
Republican party by trying to blame
the Democratic party for every ill,
your hands will be full for many
moons
But the teachers say the interview
is not true; so, we ask who's Ananias

"UNCLE JOE"

The Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Speak
er of the House of Representatives,
has after many battles been at last
defeated. A combination of the in
Gratis produced this result after Sc
we're and bitter contest, but the old
man died hard, game to the last, a
true fighting man.
If Cannonism was all that has been
said about it every good citizen should
rejoice at his overthrow. But we do
not believe that 1t Il. lie simply stood
for Taftism, Republicanism in other
words, and the fearless manner in
which he carried out his .party's poll
cies brought him prominently to
the front, and thus he has been visited
with the sins OF hi party, not his own.
His defeat l. an encouraging sign, in
of the public to knowledge of the
fact that all which the Republican
party stands for, was typified in Can
non, and that the people think it bad.
But we cannot help admiring the
old mans fighting qualities, and de-
spising the men whose commands he
has obeyed, and by so doing brought
the attack on himself, who i'm his hour
of need promptly deserted him, d.
rats do sinking ship. They have now
no good word for him, and wash their
hands of the faithful servant who for
years stood by them, and by his f1del-
ity to Republican practices wrought
his ruin. Now H. il the goat, the black
sheep, who il sent out in the wilder
ness Of dislike and defeat with all the
sins of the Republican party. Its not
according to our sense of fair play
and Taft, If he was q man with q
spine, would stand up for the one who
has stood by him. But H. won't, a.
he has neither Roosevelt's temerity,
or Cannon's fidelity.
But no matter what others may say,
W. are glad that Republicanism, al
though it is called CannOnisnl, r.
ceiYed such defeat as 1t augurs bet
ter days for the nation.

this way, and the relation between the
friends Of the president of the Senate
and Senator Smith, are steamed al
most to the breaking joint this early
i'm the game
The proposed Public Utilities bill
il arousing no little discussion at the
present time and 1t is difficult to fore
tell what will be the outcome. The
reports that the corporations are vfo-
lently opposed to such measure are
greatly exaggerated, iR fact some OF
them are favoring it, the only differ
ences of opinion rising over what the
bill should contain. The first one in
PRODUCED was prepared by Attorney
General Straus, and is an elaborate
affair, covering everything that such
a measure should regulate, the main
objection to it arising from the fact
that its operation would entail very
large expense owing to the high sal
aries to be paid the officials who are
to carry it into effect.
If any bill is passed however, it will
probably be the Straus bill, which is
backed by the Governor, but which
will have to be modified greatly in
order to satisfy the county members
who can see no necessity for such ex-
travagant salaries.
The Attorney General is here ex-
aiming this and other bills of pub
lie character, and is busily engaged
looking out for the snakes, which often
crawl in, and are only uncovered
after the most careful search.
This session has been marked by
the most cordial and friendly feeling
between the members of both the
great political parties, and has mark
ed an era of harmony rarely ever
seen in legislative bodies. The con-
tests over purely political matters
have been infrequent, and there has
been general desire on all sides to
consider measures largely from the
standpoint of good citizenship rather
than from the point of political adj
vantages.
The Republicans have made a more
respectable and dignif1ed showing than
usual. While their members In the
Senate and House have not been con-
spicuous for great ability, they have
taken their share of the work with
energy, and have not shirked any of
their responsibilities
Senator Beasman IL still sitting on

He has been guarding the
treasury for sessions, and no
one can remember for how many ses-
sions in the House prior to that time.
The last three sessions he has saved
the State by his watchful 'obstinacy,"
over 100000 year, and he bids fair
to repass his record this session. He
has made several very effective
speeches this session and he shows
the rules of procedure there better
than any other member. When any
one makes mistake in the rules, MIR.

Beasman is on his feet with the
proper correction, and his points are
always sustained. He knows the rules
of both Houses by heart, and is more
often consulted on matters of parla-
mentary procedure than any man i'm
the State House.
Two other Carroll countfans there
who are very popular, are Mr.. George
A. Shower, Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate, and Mr.. VIM. H. Phillips, Post

Shower is one of the best known men
in the State House as he has been here
for several sessions, and everybody
knows him and holds him in the high
est esteem. He has grown old in the
service of his party and Carroll county
Is honored in having such a man as

The session is drawing to a close,
and the confusion over the bills of
general Importance, such as the Utili-
ties bill, the Primary Election bill and
the various propositions to restrict
the suffrage is as great as ever. The
leaders of both parties are apparently
hopelessly divided on these matters,
and the Republicans agree no better
i'm regard to them than the Demo
Gratis, and it Is difficult to see at the
present time how any definite politi
cal action of a character beneficial to
the people at large is going to result
from the present legislature.
The measures of purely business
or beneficial character, are being well
cared for however, and as a result OF
the session, Maryland will probably
have provided for the care of the in
sane and other classes of dependent
people, including the blind the Grip
pied, the feeble minded, the deaf and
dumb, and those afflicted with tuber-
culosis a. well a. any state in the
union. The institution providing for
the care Of the unfortunate and af-
flicted classes of the state, will be

suit of this session the members will

their attention to these matters which
are after all is said and done, the most
important matters berore them.
There is now very little doubt but
that in the line up of the Democratic
leaders, Senator German will be found
OH the side of those who are opposed
To the supremacy OF United States
Senator John Walter Smith. Senator
German does not intend to wait six
years in order to get the seat he

WORDS THAT MAY BE UsEr
Corr; spondent Supplies Glossary o
Slang for Benefit Of keokuk
Culture Club.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Noting with surprise that nobody
has responded to your request for
glossary of slang which may be used
by the Culture club of Keokuk with
safety, / am induced to give a few
examples of words and phrases which
belong to that slang which has been
defined as the dictionary words of
tomorrow.
Helluva-This expresses the superla-
tive degree Of any noun or action
which it it precedes. 1t is almost
synonymous with extremely" but
more emphatic. 1t has entirely re-
placed the obsolete expression utterly
too. too which originated in Boston,
while this word was first used in ART
iona. 1t should be used with some
care in Burlington, but is common in
Quincy; nearly all the Quincy players
in recent golf match were heard to
say that Keokuk is helluva town for
bugs.
Damphool Means very ignorant
and Is generally applied to a man
who has beaten one in an argument.
Should be pronounced with little ac-
cent on either syllable, la Francois,
as any stress of accent is apt to be
mistaken for profanity.
Jawsmith-A noun, common, gener-
ally feminine, but often masculine, the
name of that class Of persons general
Ely found as visitors to newspaper Of
fees, and in sewing societies and
around cigar stores. The most import
ant part of our American citizenship,
as they generally settle all questions,
of state, religion and family morality
Tinker's dam-The old time travel
| ing tinker was accustomed to build a
! little dam Of rosin around the hole
he was to solder in a tin pan; this was
later blown away with the breath and
became the symbol of incoasequential-
! ity Hence, Not worth tinker's
DAM" means practically worthless. 1t
| is applied chiefly to the Keokuk water
works and the upkeep of Rand park.
Damfino-( Penultimat vowel is
tloH6l. seip DSdfiHS closer reia-
ton to classical Latin than any other
in the English language 1t is the first
person, singular, present, indicative
and indeclinable. 1t has no synonym
and hence proves its own value to the
Language. 1t is substitutive for the
long sentence: 1t is absolutely certain
that do not know 1t is not used as
much as it should be, especially by
muekrakers and men who discuss the
tariff.
Damsite-The foot of the De.
Moines rapids in the Mississippi river
i Used wita negative and the preposi
ton by it expresses the most EN-
phatic negation. Perhaps best suite,
for the Culture club of Keokuk. as it.

Mr.. " B. Gentry has taken charge
Of the Canton (Mo.) News, succeeding
Messrs. Riker and Parkison, who inn
proved it greatly. The new owner and
editor IS an experienced newspaper
man, and will continue it as an expo
nent of Republicanism and prospect
ty. He was reared in river town on
the banks of the Ohio, and that he is
all right in every respect is attested
by his declaration that nothing is
more musical to him than the whistle
of a steamboat. Mr. Gentry's creden-
tials are entirely satisfactory.
