The Effect of Good Roads on.
Population.

The Kansas City Star has been~
studying the census figures for
Missouri and has come to the CON
clusion that the falling off in pop
ulation In nine counties of Mis-
souri, was because these counties
have failed to improve their roads
That there is great deal of truth
in this view there can be no doubt.
Nine counties In Missouri have
q ,708 miles of good roads. Their
population In ten<years shows an
increase of 39,667. Four other
counties have also gone forward
in roadmaking. They have not
not yet constructed 100 miles OF
have enough to show that they
are going right after this great
reform. These four counties have
gained 1856 in population 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 af-
feet the question of population.
Good roads means more popula-
ton. The counties that have
no interest in good roads proba--
bly, have taken no interest in bet
ter schools, better methods of farms
work, better comforts and conyen-
fences of life. They have, there
fore, not attracted people. Bad
roads, iH-appearing farms iH-paid
teachers these repel prospective
settlers. From ugly farms, where.
progress is not In sight, the boys,
make haste to get away to the
ties.-Richmond Dispatch

A Family Reunion.

There were twenty-seven peo-
pie at that notable reunion of Mr..
J. NJ. Shepherds family, held at
Shs home recently. Some twenty
or more were members of Mr..
Shepherds family, and the others
were almost members, you might
say. A bountiful dinner, prepar-
ed under the supervision of Mrs.

Forty-nine years ago on October

Carolina regiment, and he stayed
right with the boys to the end of
that unpleasantness. The illus
tration above is from an old
picture taken on the day he en-
listed. Mr.. Shepherd is still hale
and hearyt. does full days work
with most any man, and votes the
democratic ticket so straight that
it makes a ruler look crooked by
comparison.

Boss Roosevelt Rebuked.


Boss Roosevelt Rebuked.
When Theodore Roosevelt re-
turned from the African jungles
he announced that he would ever
remember fondly the 'tprime OBJ
legation z represented In the hon
or he had twice shared at the
hands of the American people.
By way of remembering the
prime obligation" he put HIM
self at the head of a ring which
he hoped to use IN the interest Of
self-promoting schemes. He rab-
idly attacked bosses, while at the
same time playing the role Of the
most demogaguic type himself.
He reviled rings, while at the same
time heading one Of the largest
ones in the country himself!
His rebuff came when Sher-
man gained point over him in
control of the state convention.
This fact had the general effect
of stirring the general belief
that at least there were many
who believed that the. idols feet
were, after all, made of only SIM
pie clay.
But, egged on by avoWed oppo-
sition, he pulled together his for
ces, and finally managed to domi-
nate with his ring the Saratoga
convention.
He named his own platform,
and if it did not harmonic with
his preachments elsewhere, none
could. criticise, for the king can
do no wrong 49,,
!. He named his candidate SStim-
sona a man who bore the official
stamp of "my approval" and
who guaranteed to represent "my
policies A
But the day Of the ringster is
past, even though he be an ex-
president.
The general popular revolt
against the czar-like tactics of
Roosevelt have been openly re
pudiated.
The voters of New York an
nounce to the world that they will
not sit supinely by and acquiesce
in a campaign of cheap vilifcation
of ward tactics, even though the
man responsible for this low or
der Of things was once a presi-
dent.
The campaign of Roosevelt
has nauseated al fair minded
men. l1
Drunk with power, victim of
the delusive fancy that his opin-
ion should override constitution
and law. he has for months past
bitterly assailed every man who
differed with him. No more dis
gusting spectacle was ever Of
fered the nation before, for never
before did an ex-president stoop
to the level of peanut politics.
He attempted to blacken the
name Of Harmon, and Harmon
was elected governor.
He attempted to blacken the
name of Foss and Foss was
elected.
: He attempted to blacken the.
name of Dix and Dix was elected.
He attempted to ram his pro-
tege, Stimson, down the throats
of New Workers, and their pro-
test is written in a 100000 Dix
majority.
The nation no longer respects
such methods as those which

levied for the benefit of protection
of favored industries and pre-
ferred classes The Republican
party stands for the former. Thus
the issue between protective
tariff and q revenue tariff is abso-
lutte and incisiYe.
"But weShave had nearly fifty
years of a protective tariff. Hun
dreds Of millions Of money have
been invested and are yet embark
ed upon the faith of this. Hun
dreds of thousands of peopel look
to it for their prosperity and sup
port. It cannot be precipitatly
withdrawn. If We are to change
our policy from . protective sys-
tenn to a revenue system it must be
done so gradually and with such
regard for the business of the
country which stands greatly in
need Of rest as that the final tran
sition shall be as the passing from
one season to another, every inter
est warned beforehand and fully
prepared.
There can be and there must
be a tariff bin prepared by the

which shall scale the process of re-

the doctrine of a tariff for revenue
only. It can show that protection

tective tariff sthe KING PIN nf'

either In the pay of the interests
or afraid of the interests, to toe
the line of real reform as distin-
guished from sprious professions
of reform such as those outlined
by the time-servants who call
progressive RepubI-
cans.
Happily the situation is deci-
sive. The vote of Tuesday was
national and pervasive. It shows
no geographic limitation. It is
universay protest of the masses
against partisan intolerance, ex-
tortion and broken promises. It
is a vote of censure upen q most
well intentioned administration
and a patriotic president, who
were better chief justice than chief
magistrate. It is something more
than threat of dismissal OF a
party oligarchy which has grown
reckless of power, its leaders
thinking they held the world in a
sling. It shows that after all,
when fairly aroused, the people do
rule, that God still reigns and that

It tells the country that after

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.

Regarding the current strength, IN the
market for silver, Edward Brush, vice
president Of the American Smelling and Re
fning Company, says:
The most immediate cause of the recent
advance is speculation. Indian traders are
born Spectators. and they have attempted,
successfully apparently, TO anticipate the
increase in up-cOuntry demand by accumu-
lation in unusual quantities. Earlier in the
ear they made the first attempt, and, con-
JrSry TO the expectations of many who
though. they would fail. have been able to
hold their position pending sales for cur
rent needs of a population numbering some
thing like three hundred million people who
have had two years of good crops following
the depression Of 1907.
Another cause of Improvement in the
silver market is the lettering of commercial
conditions in China as well as in India
These two countries are the main sources of
demand for silver outside of what is con-
sumed in the arts and for home coinage of
producing countries. The latter require
rnent IS about one-third Of the entire pro-
auction of the world. The other two-thirds
comprise the dominant factor in the supply
represented in the London quotations for
bar silver. The movement to the Far East
Is primarily a commercial matter China
and India have surplus commodities TO sell
TO the rest of the world, and these create
an exchange demand for silver, because that
commodity is the one which these peoples
can most readily use. Both countries are
now in q condition in which their exports
rreponderata over imports, hence the I'M
provement IN the demand for the metal in
