THE GOOD eRAvELLY ROAD.

In the western part of Massachu- setts they have come to the conclu- sion that good roads are not necessa- riIv expensive rnaca dam roads, but roads that contain more gravel than sand-roads that are scraped hard and rounded to shed rain- The sandy roads in that part of New England are said to have improved by dump ing gravel upon them, and when the autcrn obi1es come flying over the road they grind in the gravel, making road-bed which 1t is said is nearly Worcester Telegram is authority for the statement that "it is claimed by men who have ridden over the west ern Massachusetts roads this summer that they are better than ever before. Some insist that the gravel roads are better than the macadam highways that the state has put in.' Com msnting upon this the Telegram says: The gravelly process may be just what is needed to make certain sec tioas of the highways right for travel. Judgment is needed in the treatment of roads Men are paying more at teution to them. It is not always the most expensive process that counts. Money can be saved by the application of judgment to Massa chusetts roads, and the set formulas are often too expensive. for right re- suits. There is plenty of gravel, and little danger that 1t will be used too freely The cheaper and better the roads the more business will be done"

A LACK OF DISCRETION.

An Indian scandal is no new thing The Indians have always been con- sidered by certain whites in aithori- ty as just fit to prey upon; and when they complained as objects that could be conveniently slandered and perse- cuted. They could be lied out of countenance and out of court, for who would take stock in a red skin" The McMurray contracts, in connec- ton with which VicePresident Sher- man has been unjustly scandalized. represents a swindle of millions from the Oklahoma Indians under the cover of attorneys fees"
 There was no malice in Senator Cores statement. He said that he was approaehed by a lobbyist for the lawyers and that the lobbyist indf- cated to him that among those whc were interested in the contracts were Vice President Sherman. This lob byist was known, of course. to be dis honest, and he was bandying the nace of Sherman to induce Senator Gore to commit himself to the scheme, but his prevaricating did not operate as he thought it might, because he was up against an honest man.
 The wrong in this matter was that the Investigating committee insisted upon the mention of names openly, which upon such unreiia ble evidence was indiscreet in the extreme. There was not a particle of evidence that MT. Sherman had anything to do with the transaction, and his positive de- nial was suff1cients to make an end of the matter so far as it concerne1 him
 It was a piece of indiscretion on the part of the committee and the senator, on such fiimsy evidence, to involve the high office MT. Sherman holds with such scandalous proceed ings. It has sufficed to show how our high officials are lied about by un- principIed and interruptions men.

A Fault Remedisd.

Come, fly with me" says the avia- tor, and that is the last you hear. The engine drowns your lamentations. The wind blows them away. No matter how scared you are, you can't make the pilot understand. You give it up, for air and din combine to enforce the rule, Don't talk to the motorrnan."
 Novelists are beside thn1selves with rage 6ver this limitation Where is the fun of laying the scene in the sky if ones heroine can't converse with ones hero? Besides, it's calamitous, economically. Novelists are forced to run their fiction clear across the page, instead of producing a mere rivulet of texts along the left-hand margin. The waste of literature by such neces- sity eats into the profits at a shocking rate.
 Happily the French army has come to the rescue of the noveIists with a new invention. The hero, sitting in front wears a funnel on one ear, and a speaking tube on one shoulder. Thus the heroine can engage in conversation half an inch wide, to the great benefit

WHAT THE CENSUS IS SHOWING.

The figures of the census for 1910 are said to show that the country is making a proportional increase in population with the cities-that to degree the drift from the rural dis trict to the various metropolises of the country has been checked. As a matter of fact the largest percentage gains up to date are in the country places. The cities on the whole are not showing the enormous increases they had been expected to develop, but many of them are severely dis appointed in their returns.
 The change is due to good roads. telephone communication, free rural delivery. and quicker modes of trav- cling. The whole countryside in all parts of the nation has lost it's inac- cessi sibility-changed conditions in the past two decades have made the abidable. and more people are seek ing homes there.
 It is not a bad sign to see the big cities like New York and Chicago falling behind what is considered their natural ratio of increase, al- though it seems to be very disturbing to these ambitious populous centers. Every city is better for being abut- ted by well settled and well culti- vated rural districts. The business men of the cities like the quiet of the country for home life and with modern facilities find no difficulty in living many miles away, or in trans acting business by wire while at such country places.
 This proportionate gain in> country places foreshadows better things for the whole nation. and the indications are that the tendency for rural life and semi rural life will be greatly increased during the next decade.

SOLDIERS AND STRIKERS.

The striker does not look upon the soldier as his friend, although there is no rational reason why he should regard him a foe to his interests The soldiers duty is not along lines of interference unless the laws are defied and the public peace is being disturbed. When the soldiers were ordered to Columbus, O.. to preserve order during the recent railroad strike fears of violence were enter tained; but the men of arms never permitted themselves to be uncivil. Just as a specimen of their manr CT, this paragraph appears in a western paper:
 Pardon me sir. but you cannot get through here without a pass. This is what an Ohio militiaman said' to a citizen who was about to cross the guard lines in the state house grounds in Columbus, where the sol diers are encamped during the street car strike. In emergency. the polite suggestion might have been followed up with a bullet, but the, attitude of the gentleman soldier was more ef- fective than a gruff order halt. for it commanded respectful obedience and gave no ground for a feeling of resentment which sometimes breeds violence as a result of pompous dis play of authority
 There was the best of order main tained and the feeling between the strikers and the men in the ranks was, it should be, friendly and sympathetic. At no time was there unnecessary show of force. Even the strikers, at all of whose meetings vio- lence and rioting was discouraged, commended the militiamen. The bond of sympathy between the car men and the soldiers-all good citizens of the same great commonwealth-wa evidenced when the men of the Sixth regiment contributed $500 of their camp pay to relieve the distress of needy families of some of the strikers
 This is a good example-the way it always should be. American mili- tiamen are working. men with work mems hearts, and they are the friends of the strikers. not their foes.

MILITARIsM-WEYLERIsM.

The fierce individualism of Gen Weyler is strongly condemned be- cause of what seems to be his bru- tality, but when examined carefully thsYe is not so much difference be- tw-er militarism and Weylerisrn, as il presents its front to the nations Gen Weyler's last barbarous utter ance is this to the CataIans: "The moment a revolutionary outbreak in Barcelona compels me as a captain general to assume the supreme com scAnd I want the revolutionists to i-row they must prepare for a merci- less fight There will be neither pri=- raers nor wounded The walls of the Easpirals will become useless and the cemeteries will have to be enlarged"
 This is Gen Weyler's heroic meth cd of checking anticipated out break, just as big armies, big battle ships and big guns are a check upon the warning nations of Christendom. nations to spend an aggregate of nearly billion dollars a year as a guaranty of peace is through fear 10 hold one another in check. Pre- paredness for peace in these times Is superior equipment for war. The nations are net dominated by love. which is so generally preached, but oS Tear, and 1t was upon fear that Gen Weyicr was depending to pre- vent a scene of violence in which he proez5ly could find pleasure
 It Is an open qresticn whether WeEieFasm Is as fierce in reality as II is made to appear on paper. Gen. Weyser was going to land the forces of Spain on the southern coast and march on Washington not so many years ago, but instead he heard the recall and departed for his quarters in Spain

THE BULLETINS rAILY STORY
MOON-FA FARMING. IT DIFFERS MUCH FROM NEWER METHODS.

By gorry, that foored me all right. But I spoke up and said:
 I've heard a pile of so-called sci ence here and other men have been called to give their experiences; but I've been sighted like Don't make no odds, but I wanter talk some, more for the benefit of the faculty, for they ain't alluded to it any. want to say that you mustn't plant peas or beans in the wane of the moon- If you start having in the first increase your hay will heat in the mow. Pork kill ed in the dark of the moon won't keep. Set a hen in the full of the moon and the aigs will addle--''
 Stop bellered the professor. He was jealous, l guess. of me knowin' moren him. can't hev our time wasted any longer. The moon don't hev no more to do with the agricul- tural prosperity of this country than fellers like you do.'
 ''So I got out of that quick's I could and went home"
 What was I to do? Could I brave public opinion and go on with my planting? I had dared to introduce some innovations that are considered the elements of agriculture in the west and had encountered disapprov- al that even went so far as i'll will
 Very well, MT. Story" I said soft ly. "The day has just begun. If you think we ought not to plant I will pay you off and we'll stop. Still, you can't do your own planting till the moon changes"
 Almost before the words were out of my mouth, with a magnificent gest- ure of disdain and sense of outrage, Old Story seized the Seeder and it's wheels revolved at an unprecedented rate down the field, low but intense muttering T hate to see anybody know it all" rising above the clack of the machine.
 I told him again to stop if he liked but he only went the faster  up and fourished. Planted a consid- erable period earlier than the gardens that waited for the prescribed time of the moon, my garden was ahead of the weeds, ahead of dry weather and was not only earlier but therefore better than the gardens of the moon farmers. I called Old Story in and asked him to explain the failure of the moon to act adversely.
 T allus hate to see folks that don't believe nawthin','' said he, looking at the surging peas and billowing corn. Some folks won't believe nawthin', even when you prove. different" His gaze fell absently on the long rows of feathery carrots and plumy turnips. You can't tell 'em nawthin. You can't even show 'em nawthin'."

Farmer Story wasn't really old, but his agricultural implements, his agri- cultural lore and his tales were so old that it seemed appropriate to call him -.OId Story" He was helping me put in a garden in a vales in the White Mountains The land was ready. Even Old Story conceded that so far as the season and the condition of the soil had anything to do with the matter, it was the apt, particular moment for planting.
 Tt seems all right, and a feller as green to farnlin' as you be, would say twas, but I know different said Story, ain't right. It's the wane of the moon and them peas will try to throw their stalks downward. Corn is different. Seems like it knowed more'n peas. Corn don't go explorin' downward, lookin' for Chiny, like peas. It jest waits. you might say, until the moon is right. But it don't make no odds. The moon has crop.
