NnIue of GOOD Roads.


AS an enthusiastic advocate OF
better hoads, the Telegram is i'm
PEELED to reproduce the following
editorial regarding their value from
the Wheeling Register:
Everybody understands in a gem
eraI way the advantages of good
roads over poor roads, but few
people realize the enormous hnan-
cfaI dement's which would result
from an improvement of the high
ways of the country. E. w. James
a government eng ,neer, has made
investigation and calculations upon
which he bases the assertion that
good roads would yield profit an
nually of $500. 100000 to the far
mers. He estimates the reduction
of transportation at one-half, and
since 1t now costs the farmers $780,
900, 900 annually to market the
products OF their farms, they would
save fifty per cent OF that sum IN
the expense of hauling If the roads
were lmpoved,
Mr.. James mentions the simple
truth that there is little traceable
connection between the cost to the
farmer of marketing his crop, and
what he gets for it.. one who hauls
his produce ten miles gets no
more for it than another who has
only a five mile haul to make. OBJ
vIously the only way to make money
on transportation is to cut down
the expense of transportation, and
the expense may only be reduced
through the medium OF improved
roads. Good roads make heavier
loads and quicker transportation
possible.
MT. James also shows how the far
mer reaps~ the benefit of good roads
through an appreciation in the value
OF his land, and in other than
financial ways by the increase of his
religious and social

directly antagonistic but patriotism
in the highest sense did not diner
on either side, although it was not
united patriotism. 1t consisted of
two distinct kinds with two distinct
objects in view. Perhaps, the pa

FOREIGN CRUISE CUT OUT
BY SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
Atlantic and Pacific Squadrons VIII
Rendezvous at Nc'v York and Los
Angeles Early in November.

Washington. d. C.-The Atlantic
fleet will make no cruise in foreign
waters this winter. Secretary Meyer
announced that the proposed trip to
the Mediterranean had been abandon
ed and that the fleet would operate
in home waters until January, when
1t goes TO Guantanamo.
1t also was announced that the de-
partment has planned to assemble the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets at New
York nd Los Angeles respectively. on
October 81 for inspection.
No reasons are assigned for the de-
cision not to send the fleet abroad. 1t
has been stated that the Mediterran-
can cruise was looked upon with dis
favor on account of the prevalence Of
plague in southern European coun-
tries. The Turco-Italian hostilities al
so possibly had something to do with
the departments decision
Secretary Meyer will inspect the
ships while they are assembled in
New York harbor, and he hopes to
have the fleet reviewed there by Pres
ident Taft November l.

POOR AVERAGE FOR "FRATs."
They FAN Far Below Students Who
Are Nom Members.

Columbia, Mo.-Fraternity mem
bers do not make as good grades as
nou-fraternity members at the Uni
versity of Missouri, and this is shown
by a statistical report on the relative
standing Of various groups of stu
dents, made by DR. w. G. Manly. The
report refrains from any remarks as
to the probable cause. Fraterniay
members are usually scions of the
best Missouri families, most of them
have had the increased opportunities
given by wealthy parents to their chill
dren, and they are social leaders in
student life. when it comes to gray
matter. judged by the grades made in
their studies, the leadership of the
frat members disappears.
The average grade for the men of
the university, meaning thereby the
percentage of credit received for
work don, based on the Myer system
of grading, is 92.2; for non-fraternity
members, 915; for men in frats, S6.7;
varsity athletes, SS.5.
These figures indicate that it takes
more time for social distractions or
other causes, to be a member Of a
Greek letter frat, than it does to play
on the varsity football team. Or,
that even football players, notorious
