MAINTAINING GOOD ROADS,

After good roads have been built 1t

them in good edition. Much of this
work is done in England and in other
countries of Europe where the ROADS

Of the good roads which have been built
in this country during the past few
wears. Naturally the Englishmen and
the Europeans who have been working
along this line for many years have
through experiments and experience, a
fund of information that ought to be
valuable to the people of this country
who are now so intensely interested In
the subject Of good roads.
In a. lengthy and valuable article on

which has just been published in the

q. sN WORLDS MARKETS.

That the manufacturers of this
country are reaching out with no I'M
certain hand for trade in the markets
of the world is evidenced by the sta
tistics which have just been issued by
the bureau of statistics of the federal
department of commerce and labor.
They show that the exports of manu-
features from the United States in the
year which ends with next month will
for the first time, exceed 500 million
dollars in value. The September. ex-
port figures, just completed by the
bureau of statistics, seem to fully JUS
tify such a prediction. For the single
month of September the exports of
manufactures aggregated 20 million
dollars and for the nine months, end
ing with September. SIS million, an
average of 6S million dollars per
month for that portion of the year for
which figures are now available.
Should this average be maintained
during the remainder of the year an
expectation which seems quite justi-
fied-the total value of exports OF
manufactures in the II months end
ing December will be over 500 million
dollars The figures thus far show a
large gain over those of last year in
both classes OF manufactures. The

sumption" shows for the nine months

uNIusT CRITICISM.

Doesn't it come with pretty poor
grace for candidates who are success
full at elections and their political
friends, including newspapers, to at
tempt to cast aspersions on such of the
votes as they did not get-the votes
that were cast for other candidates?
1t would seem so. The efforts that
have been made to do this in respect
to many of the votes which were cast
in Shawnee county on election day is
a case in point.
Because the voters of Shawnee couE-
tv did not line up with a majority of
the voters of the state. various bodies
of them are referred to as 1.-The rail-
road vote" the standpat vote" and
the this and that vote. And the init
nation is suggested that such votes"
come from the rabble. as it were. and
are not what might be styled honest
votes.
such iu4fmations and contentious are
little less than disgraceful. and certain

port of the industries of the city. so
are all the other votes in the city with
the possible exception of that element
of the wet vote which is Of the
criminal variety and opposed to the
enforcement of the state laws relative
to prohibition.
Neither has the railroad vote" nor

becausa those who make it up cast
their ballots according to their ngnt.
If a large proportion Of this vote had
gone the other way on Tuesday last,
there would have been no criticism or

tives. and it would have come from the
same men who are now held up to
censure and ridicule for following their

vote simply because it is not the k1nd
of a vote that some one else Wou!d
