There are few Of the Iowa county
seats that are not conducting some
kind of good roads campaign. The
latest move of this kind to come to
notice is the plan of the Seymour
Commercial association of offering
$3.50 in prizes for the building and
maintenance of good roads in that
vicinity The campaign opens May l
and ends August and competent
Judges will inspect the roads at the
beginning and completion of the work
to note the Improvement made. The
prizes for building and maintaining
the next one mile Of road within a
radius of six miles of Seymour will be
divided as follows: First prize, $50;
second prize, $35: third prize, $25;
fourth prize, 500; fifth prize; SIS, and
sixth prize, S.. This plan has been
tried in other counties with great
success and there is no reason why the
roads in this vicinity should not be
greatly improved

He was so scared that for, the next
three days he lived mostly on the OUT
side of the house. Fred's sister was
charming, but he saw by her eye that
she hadn't said all she wanted to.
On a certain morning Miss Prue
was going to invite the guest to walk
with her to q piece of woodland N
search Of early flowers, but he had
vanished with Fred.
She, therefore, took the jaunt by
herself. A fair-sized river ran through
the woods, and a few rods below
there was dam. Miss Prue had gath
cred a bouquet and was seated on 4
log when. a couple Of tramps turned in
from the road and came to halt and
demanded her purse. She rose anu
screamed. A third tramp appeared
She screamed louder. Then she was
roughly seized and borne toward the
river, and after lighting for minute
she tainted away.
When the girl opened her eyes
again her brother Fred was w1ping
her face with wet handkerchief and
calling her name. She sat up In q
dazed way and looked around for the
tramps. Three old hats and two rag
ged coats lay on the ground, but
there were no tramps to be seen.

sRYAN's CUSTOMARY MOOD.

BRYAN's CUSTOMARY MOOD.
Under the caption, evil Mr.. Bryan
Never Wake Up?" the Chicago Inter
Ocean takes the former Democratic
leader to task for receiving the news
of Governor Hughes appointment to
the supreme bench in his customary
mood of resolute dissent" Bryan's
statement that Governor Hughes Is a
friend Of corporations" Is declared a
fiat misstatement of fact, but it is
not Bryan's views, but the continual
twaddle about Corporations" that the
Inter-Ocean takes objections to. II
says:
Will Mr.. Bryan never wake up to the
fact that we are. living in 1910 and
not in 1905? Times have changed in
century or two. The business OF
the country is done by corporations
If the corporations were all wiped out
next Sunday there would be no bust.
ness done on Monday Corporations
are today an Industrial necessity
Any man who ever had second
thought knows this.
Every state in the union is full of
corporations. They are not New York
and New Jersey products exclusively.
Even so virtuous state as Nebraska
and SO model town as Lincoln
have their corporations. Iowa has
them; SO has Wisconsin,; likewise
Kansas likewise all the rest.
The United States steel concern is
a corporation. Standard Oil is a cor,
poration. But so is So-and-So's hard
ware store, or steam laundry, or dry
goods emporium, or grain elevator, or
almost anything else you might name.
Corporation is broad term. 1t COW
ers the whole range of modern enter.
prise.
Then what is the sense in this con
tinued denunciation Of corporations in
general? A corporation is not bad
because it is a corporation. 1t is bad,
if bad at all, because it violates some
law. The most extreme fanatic would
not say that all individuals ought to
be denounced because Mr.. Morgan is
an individual and Mr.. Rockefeller is
another. 1t is only when he comes to
corporations that discrimination
ceases and fury abounds.
Let's get down to clear thinking on
this subject. Let us rid our minds of
all the tommyrot that is hee-hawed at
US from so many sides and see things
as they are! If we can't, or If we
don't, we might as well give up the
idea of accomplishing anything.
A corporation that violates the law
has no better friend than these uni
versal slaverers at corporations. They
confound the innocent with the gull
ty. The result is they help the latter
and hurt the former. They create an
atmosphere full of general hatreds,
universal suspicious and chaotic
thoughts and impulses. But they
don't get anywhere. They don't pun
ish anybody. They simply rattle like
stones in can and confuse every
body.
The way to treat corporations is to
treat them on their merits and not on
their mere name. which means moth
ing. A law-abiding corporation should
be free from general ISLANDERS. A
law-violating ole should be prosecuted
and punished for It's offenses. The
crime Is in the offense and not in the
fact of being corporation.
1t seems silly, the Inter-Ocean adds.
to state these self-evident truths but
how can an intelligent man help doing
so occasionally when such bleatings
and blitherings as Mr.. Bryan's come

NEU YORK CAUCUS.
Delegation to Consider Presi-
dents Programme To-day.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. 31--FoIlowing the lead
Of the Ohioans, the New York delegation
in the House will hold a caucus tomorrow
afternoon to discuss the Presidents legis-
lative programme and the questions Of en-
larging the Committee on Rules. The pres
ent purpose is not TO take Up local po-
HticaI questions, and usually well informed
members OF the delegation predict that this
subject will not be brought up.
So far as could be learned this after
noon. there is no great difference of opin-
ion as to the Presidents programme, and
II is expected that the delegation will de-
eide 10 support it cordially and energett-
caIlv. 1t is understood that final quietus
p,iu be given 10 the federal incorporation
n;an. for this session. at least There is
some differ ence of opinion on the inter-
state commerce BILL but it is thought that
the general purposes of the measure will
receive unanimous Endorsement. Postal
savings banks are favored by the great
majority, while no surprise would be
caused if assurances of solid support for
the ship subsidy bill were given
The general sentiment of the delegation
tonight seems to be that no attempt will
he made for the present TO change the
R,les Committee. Not a few members
favor an ultimate enlargement of that
hodv. but the general tenor of opinion
seems 10 be that the Presidents programme
is of prime Importance. and that nothing
should be done which might imperil its
sneedy enactment
