GOVERNMENT ROAD BUILDING.

q ENATOR SWANSON, of Virginia, is a firm ad-
- vocate of national help in road building. He
wants the Government to appropriate S20,000,0Oo
yearly for FIVE years for the improvement of the
post roads along the rural delivery routes.
When il is considered that the Government in
tends to spend $30000O0O for two new battle
ships the sum asked in the Swanson bill for road
work is not out of the way. In truth there is no
valid reason why the Government should not inn
prove the public highways.
1t is said that the rural delivery service, as at
present operated, causes an annual deficit of
about S2S000000 because of the limitations of the
mail service, for the wagons carry only a small
load on their routes. With parcels post law in
force if only one ten cent package a week we're
sent by the four millions of families served, it is
estimated that the postal revenues would be ins
creased by forty millions which, of course would
wipe out the deficit and give the Government
handsome balance.
Mr.. Swanson in recent address before the
Senate declared that no other country in the world
was cursed with so bad road system as the United
States. During the rainy season. he added nine
tenths-of the roads are almost impassabe-ke
vthaf little stretch above Claymont to the state line,
we fancy.
Despite this fact says Mr.. Swanson, 90 per cent
ofAmerica's internal commerce must first or last
be hauled over the public roads. The average haul
of this vast commerce is estimated at little more
than nine miles, and the average cost of such
hauling in the United States is % cents ton, as
compared with seven cents in France and eleven
cents in England and Germany Mr.. Swanson de-
clares that a proper road system would save the
people of the United States about S230O0O0O an
nually and this figure he calls the mud tax.
Mr.. Swansons remarks hit practical side of
the question There is an impression that only au-
tomobsts and pleasure seekers are clamorous for
good roads but the Virginia Senator clearly proves
that the road matter is practical plan which seeks
to do away with the mud tax

VOTE SELLING AND SUFFRAGE.

TT is no wonder that some fine thinking women
Il advocate suffrage for their sex in Delaware
Every conviction of a man for violating the cleo
ton laws of the state we should think would stir
these women
Ii is generally believed that in some parts of
the state considerable percentage of the voting
population stands ready and willing TO sell their
votes TO the highest bidder. If they are not sold
II is because persons afraid to buy them know
ing that they are likely TO 60 TO prison
Yet those vote sellers are allowed to take part
in the affairs of governmnt. They are not even
DISTINGUISHED as they should be. So far as the
civil government is concerned, intelligent women
who own property pay taxes and are good citizens
have not the same rights as the most ignorant Of
men and of men who sell their rights to the high
est bidder
~ there is any justice OF even decency in this
condition we should like some defender of vote
buying to point out wherein il consists
Women property owners in this city for instance
have not the same civil standing as the lowest
and most ignorant creature, be he a man. who has
absolutely no interest in government except pal
try price he may get for his ballot.

nae SMOKE NUISANCE.

r FADING railroad men are becoming convinc-
II ed that the locomotive smoke nuisance can be.
abated The people living in cities especially would
rejoice IT this nuisance we're done away with
Mr. Samuel M. FELTON,, president of the Great
Western system, who has just returned from
trip abroad says the American railroads can be
made as, comparatively speaking smokeless as
those of England. General electrihoation of rail
roads, he thinks, is far away.
Twelve railroads enter the city of London, all
operated by steam and carrying more passengers
than our railways But there is little smoke and
no complaint. This is owing to the methods Of
firing and handling locomotives. Devices are used
TO insure the proper consumption of the coal gases
before they become smoke.
Mr. FELTON, suggests that a committee of experts
visit England and investigate the English system.
If the English can abate the smoke nuisance, we
can if we will.
If the railroad companies make no effort to do
away with the nuisance, the law should compel
them to do so.

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

TN HIS recent speech in Indianapolis President
Il Taft discussed the Republican policy of pro-
lection as viewed by the administration. The
President declared that the party had pronounced
in favor of tariff duties which would measure only
thu difference in the cost of production between
hege and abroad. Ii favors the adjusting of in
equafsaes in conditions and the chief inequality
is the cost OF labor The present doctrine of pro-
lection as held by the party does not require or
call for duties in excess of those which will Sc
cure equality of conditions
Mr. Taft didn't mention the fact that in addis
ton the Platform called for a reasonable profit
TO American industries" None of the orators
have been fond of calling attention to the reason
able profit clause and it would probably not be put
IN a new platform, as that phrase has never been
seriously considered by Mr. Taft or the party
leaders
The adjusting of the tariff along the lines that
Mr. Taft has in mind is a large and difficult task
but the President thinks the Tariff Board will
aid in such adjustment The Tariff Board plan is
by far the most advisable method of dealing with
the question Anything to stop the constant agi-
tation which is so unsettling to business should
be welcomed The tariff should be taken out of
politics as far as possible but it is likely to be
until the business and manufacturing interests
assert themselves with such force and determine
ton that the political leaders will heed their cries
Some people say that the life of the exiled for
mer President of Mexico has been failure in that
he was driven from his native land and lost the
affections of his people. But Diaz has accumulated
a fortune of fifty millions and he should be very
comfortable on that sum. Politics and being die
tator paid Daz handsomely

WHAT THE GOLDEN RULE MIGHT DO.

T UDGE GARY'S GOLDEN RULE theory in the
steel business is not received with clapping
of hands. II may be all right for the steel manu-
facturers but it is likely to be all wrong for the
public.
What may happen under the Golden Rule is IL
Illustrated by an experience a Kansas City street
railway company had some years ago. The COM
pany needed new rails and tried to induce the
trust TO lower its price. But the trust was firm,
The representative of a Belgian concern happen
ed along and found that he could bring the rails
by a tramp steamer to Port Arthur and thence
to Kansas City by rail- at price about Sc a
ton cheaper than the trust had offered. The trust
heard of the Belgian offer and cut its price with
the result that the Kansas City concern got its
rails So a ton cheaper than the first offer of the
trust.
This is clear illustration Of how the steel trust
"soaks" the purchasers Of steel rails and there is
little wonder that the Government proposes to
proceed against it.
The Gary application of the Golden Rule would
be for the Belgians TO keep out of the way and
permit the trust to monopoze American trade
commanding any price it might see fit
Some people say they do not know what is the
matter with the business of the country, but this
little story of the operation of the steel trust
throws light on what causes the troube-the hold
up tactics OF such concerns as the steel trust.
