What Garner Saws,

Rep. John II. Garner of Texas, the
Democratic whip of the house, says
there is no measure pending before
congress of more Importance to the
entire country than the bill known as
the good roads measure" There is
no argument to be made against the
government doing its part toward the
building and keeping in repair thu
roads of the country. Mr.. Carrier
says. In his opinion, which is sha4ed
by large number of members, it is
almost as much Of importance to have
good roadways as it is to improve our
water ways, especially since the auto
mobile has come into almost daily use
by the farmers in transporting their
product to market.
Every dollar spent on the roadways
OF the country, says the Texas con-
gresham, will come back to Uncle
Sam two-fold.
A number of good road bills were in.
troduced in the house last session and
the movement for government aid
started. Those who are familiar with
the subject say that the farmers are
alive to the value of good roads. and
have been writing their congressman
urging them to support the PROPOSE.
ton. The entering wedge for this leg
islation has been inserted. and it is
not improbable that President Taft
will say something in commentator
Of the movement in his message to
Congress.

American Toadyism Abroad.

Announcement has been made from
 Berlin that the German emperor pro poses to treat Col Roosevelt with all
 the honors that are accorded tu visit ing royalty during the cx-president's thrcc-day personal visit with the cln- pcror. Following this news comes the cablcd information that the American colony" at the German capital is greatly prascd" with this news of the kaiscr's benevolent intcn- tions-that the compliment" to the former president of the United states is most deeply appreciated by the Americans at Berlin.
 Which the same is conducive to fatigue. TO be sure. all of us would he intensely displcascd if the kaiser welt in any way. But why should we throw an assortment of fits because the former chief magistrate of the American nation is to he received with all courtesy by the monarch of Germany? Both because of his dis tinction as one of the great citizens of the world. and because he has filled the highest position in the greatest nation of the world, Col Roosevelt iS entitled to distinguished consideration wherever he goes Very properly. Emperor William will treat Col Roosevelt as personal equal. We may be sure. The emperor, who is perhaps the best friend the United States has among the rulers of Eu- rope. would not think of patrouiZinG our former president.

peaeneracY and Will Power.

The case of New Works latest sen sational murderer, Woltcr. contra diets the popular idea that a weakness of win power is one of the character istics of degcneracy.
 The Wolter crime, which has stirred the people of New York as no other crime has done in years. was unqucstionably the work of dcgcn- crate. Woltcr. cigarette youth of IS. had mania for proving upon young girls. His method was to ad- vertisc for stenographcrs. and. pri- vate meeting arranged, to depend upon his wilcs of deceit A curious incidental feature of the case is the fact that he seems to have had a fc- male confederate who lived with him and who at least had general knowl- edge of what he was doing. The crime which at last placed him in public view and mortified the whole country by it's rcvolting details was the murder of young girl of IF who applied to him for a position as ste nugraI &or in answer to his advertise ment The evidence shows that he chokcd her into insensibiity and then burned her alive in the fireplace of his home. All the evidence goes to show that the fellow is d degenerate of the worst type. Yet. when con frontcd by the police with proofs of his guilt and subjected to the rigorous ordeal of the third degree" in an effort to make him cOnfess-a process which seldom fails with the most hardened criminal-hc stolidly main taincd his innocence and his ignor- ance of the crime. Fortunately the cirCumstantial proofs seem so clear that his refusal to confess is imma- terial But his ability to withstand the evidence of his guilt and to main tain an air of bravado is a manifcs- tation of will power which, as we have said contradicts a popular the ory.
 It Is. however. not the first case of the kind All the readers of the news papers will remember the case of Theodore Durrant. the young san Francisco degenerate who was hanged several years ago for the murder of young girl, who was only one of many victims. Durrant also was q typical degenerate; but nttwithstand- ing the most overwhelming proof of his guilt, he insisted to the last and even on the scaffold itself, that he was innocent
 All nf which goes to prove that the mysteries of degcncracy have not yet been solved, IL k very evident that win power, which k commonly associated in the popular conception with a well balanced mind, may he posscsscd by dcgoncratos to an cN- coptional degree

REA=BLACK ELECTION
FIGHT WILL BE HOT

The outcome of the state senatorial
fight in the twenty eighth district, in
which James W. Rea of Santa Clara
and Marshall Black of Palo Alto were
the contenders for the republican nom
ination, promises hot fight at the
general election. According to the re-
turns from the district Black, the in
cumbent senator. defeated Rea by about
100 votes for the republican nomina-
ton. BY the writing in process, how
ever, Rea was given the democratic
Endorsement.
Rea ran as an independent for the
primary nomination, while Black had
the Endorsement of the Lincoln Roose-
welt league and was given the machine
backing as well. AS az result of the
primary outcome. the two men are to
be pitted against each other again in
the final stretch. Rea, running as
democrat, will make strictly anti
railroad issue in his campaign, while
Black is expected to receive the support
of the same elements that gave him
his nomination.
Although defeated for thes republi-
can nomination. Rea stands a chance
of winning first honors in November
In addition to the democratic vote
which he is sure to receive, he counts
on at least as much republican strength
as he developed at the primaries, and
he believes that he may pry loose a,
few of Blacks votes on the issues
which will be presented.

up in an unconscious condition on Wind

that he was followed by two men and
that he feared they intended to poison
him. Ir the diary follows;
