Secretary Hitchcock has an

rangements to send maga-
zines in car load lots by
fast freight to the principal
cities. Here is a reform that is
worth something. 1t has been
notorious for years that the rail
roads are being overpaid for the
carrying of the mails. That is
why the papers have been so in

second class postal rates while
maintaining railway rates. If

Nothing in the history of the
insurgent movement has done so
much to discredit the unselfish-
ness of the leaders as has the
present fight over Canadian rec.
iprocity. The opposition of
Cummins and the rest is a dis.
appointment to their friends and
a cause of glee to their enemies.
The insurgents have fought for
tariff reduction. That reduction
must begin somewhere. Let
them accept this reciprocity pact
and then go ahead and get some
of the other tariffs reduced.
There is no other way to do it.

habitants do not despair of getting

commissioners voted for poll tax OF

volunteered to drag the roads.
In the county are 1000 miles of dirt
roads. Concrete culverts are replace
ing the plank bridges which have
been in use since the county first was
organized. Big crops have been raised
in the county this year, and many
farmers have paid their poll tax in
cash rather than work on the roads.
Nearly all Of the money which has
been received from this source is be-
ing spent by the county commissioners
In building modern concrete culverts.
More than half Of the roads in the
county lie fiat. The roads have been
built with good drainage and are in
condition that is good compared with
what they were before they were grad

chants of Memphis. the county seat.

times Objectionable in flat country
because 1t is found necessary in order
to get sufficient amount Of water

in many cases is very disagreeable. In
the case of the fat top bridge the re-

lengthening the span without making
a hump in the road. which hump

Uncle Joe Cannon is long ways
from dead one as is evidenced by
the offer of $4,000 for 100 lectures
rendered by Chautauqua bureau.
The offer was declined, which act
would indicate that Uncle Joe is not
reformer. The brand of reform
ers that are trodding the boasds at
the present time would have grabbed
the money. = [Iroquois Chief
Possibly the fact that Uncle Joe

gave him nerve to make his re-
