A Thousand Million a Year.

The report Of the only govern
ment investigation ever made in
to the cost of haulage over wag-
on roads in this country shows
that the average cost is 26.6
cents per ton per mile, ranging
from 30 cents in the Eastern
States to % cents in the Pacific
States. In England and France,
where tirst-class roads are con-
structed and constantly main
tanned, the cost is reduced to 10
cents per ton per mile. The
cost of hauling by horses in the
United States is more than ST.
600, 100000 per year, at least
half of which could be saved by
a complete system of internal
roads of the first class.
Against the enormous waste
incident to bad roads, the cost of
constructing good roads should
be considered incidentally, for
this cost may be distributed over
a number of years. Or, even if
paid at once, 1t would soon be
absorbed by the added profits
accruing from good roads. Since
the foundation of good roadway
is practically indestructible, the
lOug-run calculation should be
mainly as to the cost Of mainten-
ance, and this cost is so low, as
compared with the value of good
roads. that it is a negligible fac

Cause of Heart Disease.

Great alarm is felt over the in
crease of heart disease in this
country. The records show a
mortality list Of $1,000 for last
year. What are the causes:
Oyerwork. overeating, lack of
bodily exercise and the immod-
crate use of stimulantS and mar
cotics. One of the most potent
causes of fatty degeneration of
the heart is steady and copiOus
beer drinking. Those who ad-
vOcate the substitution of beer
for water as a beverage make Il
grave mistake, grave" in more
ways than one. Alcohol is foe
to organic life 1t sometimes
takes a good deal to Kill, but its
tendency is destructive. Boys
often acquire a dangerous heart
disturbance from smoking Gig
aretteS. and it almost kills those
with whom they come in contact.

LIVELY TIME WITH PYTHON
Crew on British Gunboat Has Exciting
Experience When Reptile
Breaks Loose.

Once when the British gunboat Rat
tier was in eastern waters the crew
had a lively time looking after a
python on board that got loose.
Besides the python there was on
board big Borneo orangoutang. The
python, which was 10 or 20 feet in
length, having dined heartily ON a
deer about three weeks before, began
to feel its appetite returning, and in
searching about its box for a place of
egress found one side in bad repair
1t did not take the python long to
come through the weak part, and,
quite unobserved, it began its peram
bulations around the boat.
Seeing the orangoutang chained up
few yards off, the big snake invited
itself to a dinner very much to it's
taste. It would have been all over
with the orangoutang had not the
quartermaster at that moment made
the discovery that the two pets were
about to be merged into one He
promptly cut the orangoutang loose
The latter was up the masthead be
fore any mischief could be done, and
lieutenant. the proprietor of the
orangoutang. the quartermaster, and a
member of the crew flung themselves
upon the hungry python-one at the
head. another at the tail, and third
in the middle
Then the fun began, for the python
wanted to get one of the aggressOrs
nicely In It's coils. and the men were
determined it should be kept out in
something as nearly approaching a
straight line as possible.
For minute 1t was the LAGOON
group all over again, only in this case
the three men and the snake were
sprawling over the deck instead of
standing upright in classic attitude.
Reinforcements. however. arrived in
hot haste, and about 20 bluejackets.
each embracing a foot of python, re-
duced the reptile to comparative
quiescence The procession marched
back to the python's box, coiled the
creature inside. and shut it up. But
the orangoutang sat aloft in the mast
head a long time before he came to
the conclusion that he was of the
menu for the day.

The cotton growing business
is to be revolutionized, it is said,
by the invention of machine
which will supplant hand labor
in picking the cotton from the
plant. This machine in it's ex-

Two Opinions.

We give below an expression
on the business relations of the
big corporations to the masses
of the people from Woodrow Viii
son, the newly elected Demo
cratic Governor of New Jersey,
a man noted for his learning and
critical analysis of all PROPOSE
tions related to our political
economy; and also an extract
from a recent address by Rev.
Alexander Irwin, a man who
stands next to Eugene Debs in
the estimation of the Socialists
as an exponent of that political
principle. There is much in the
first that supports the thought
of the second, and shows the
drift of the larger political divis-
ions to socialistic policies. Gov
ernor Wilson says:
Business is no longer in any
proper sense private matter.
1t is not in our day usually con-
Quoted by independent individu-
ais. 1t is pursued by great com
panies, great corporations, which
exist only by express license OF
law, and for the convenience OF
society, and which are in them
selves little segments of society
Politics has to deal with and har
monize many other forces be
sides those for business only
however. Neither can the econ
i, omists help us. They must seq
regate these great phenomena O
which l have spoken and study
them in their pure and separat,
force, as they are, whereas seq
regation is just what we, as stu
dents of political science, arr
seeking to Offset and correct.
i, Society is the senior partnel

in every business. It must be
first considered, as a whole, in
its permanent and essential. not
merely in its temporary and
superficial. interests. If private
profits are to be legitimatized,
private fortunes made honorable,
these great forces which play
upon the modern field must,
both individually and collectively
be accommodated to common
purpose.
Mr.. Irwin says:
The great industries have be-
come automatic. They almost
go by themselves. And we have
paid Mr.. Rockefeller, and the
others, very large bill. Shall
we continue to repay the bill to
their sons and their sons sons
for thousands of years to come:
Shall we go on forever paying
masters for something we have
paid for already?
When the industrial machinery
becomes automatic. then we will
socially own it: and Socialism
means the social responsibility
for the industry, the products of
wealth and the distribution of
wealth. And we believe, not un-
til we have social responsibility,
shall we ever have a better world;
shall we obliterate the misery,
that is created by the capitalism
of today"

else.
The stems are transported TO China
and there the rice paper is made. II
is used, aside from a number OF other
purposes, by the native artists Tor

1t is dyed In various colors and made
into artificial flowers.
