MEN THAT WASTE YOUR TIME
Writer Sets Down Certain Class, and
With Much Truth, as Being
Merely Losfers.

TO a heap of people, maybe the big
majority, life is Just loafing along,
writes Tip in the New York Press.
There's the fellow who sits smoking
on a porch or stoop and throws a
dozen or so matches upon the lawn
or into the yard II would be just as
easy, and million times as decent,
for him to put them in an ash receiv-
er-too much trouble to get one-or
lay them in little pile beside him to
be disposed Of afterward But II takes
somebody a quarter Of an hour to go
and gather up the half burned sticks
that he has scattered everywhere. He
prides himself perhaps, upon not be-
ing finicky; would be mad as hornet
to be told he was just lcafer
There's the fellow who sticks fine
steel blade into acid fruit, spelling the
fruit and the knife. not even both ering
to pc the b'0de 1t takes a second
to the damage; 1t would take for
ever to undo It, There's the fellow

its proper place to tighten up a win
dow hasp. say, and. after tightening it
so that It will not work at all, puts
the screwdriver down anywhere. so
that the one who must untighten the
hasp has to hunt for hours all over
the house for the screwdriver The
fellow has no doubt he was being use
full; he was being a dlng-goned nuis.
ance; wasting other peoples valuable
time.
There's the fellow who knows that
It's about time for an axle to need oil
or grease, but tomorrow will do, when
it's handy; so the hot box that comes
along before then puts the thing out
Of commission and costs dollars to get
in shape again. He thinks he was In
hard luck that It wouldn't run long
enough for him to find the lubricant
without any trouble; he was just
good-for-nothing.
There's the fellow who burns
cigar when he needs II, and goes of
leaving II burning Just the same when
he doesn't need It. He's very likely to
plume himself on not being penny
wise; he has the responsibility and
sense of Digger Injun. There are
10000 ways in which that sort loafs
along through life, cock-sure they are
useful human beings, but mostly leav-
ing wreck and ruin in their wake.
From the start they have no chance
for success; at the finish they are
ghastly failures. And every mothers
son Of them takes his oath. at any
stage of the game, that he is being
passed by somebody all the time mere
ly because the other is smiled upon by
fortune and pampered by favoritism.

Squire" White a Candidate.

Squire" S S. White, of Bethel, is
one of nine men who are candidates
for delegate to the Constitutional
Convention from Clermont county.
esquire" White is we'll known in
Highland county, having lived at
Sinking Spring for number Of years.
While he lived there he was very ac-
tive in politics and was the Demo
cratic boss Of that township.
Last week he published a statement
In the Clermont Democrat, stating
his position on number Of questions
that are being the most discussed.
He says that he is unqualifiedly In
favor Of the initiative, referendum
and recall He goes into detail as to
his position on the initiative and
referendum and favors submitting de-
sired laws on petitions Of not to ex-
ceed 10 per cent. and referring legis-
lative acts of not to exceed per cent.
All measures to be decided by a
majority of the vote actually cast
upon them.
He believes that the use of the init
iative and referendum will solve the
liquor question as it puts the question
of regulation directly in the hands OF
the people.
On the tax question he says, "The
tax question as a general principle
should be taken care Of In such way
as will equalize the burdens Of taxa
tion and not leave the bulk Of 1t on
the shoulders of the farmers, and the
small house owner as 1t has been In
the past"
He believes In the non-partisan
short ballot for municipalities.

Philosophy Of A Business Man
BY A H1LLsBoRo MERCHANT


A lordly swagger and depleted
pocket book often go together.
You may glorlfy the man "behind
the gun but it's the man behind the
plow who makes for human progress.
Suspect the man given to the self
exploitation Of his Christian virtues.
He'll sting you sure.
It's not always safe to judge the
fruit in the measure by what you see
on top.
Look out for the man who will pay
tomorrow. His memory is usually
short.
What We often hear spoken of as
race prejudice is simply the instinct
of race conservation.
The man who does mary jhings is
likely TO do some unwise things.
The sluggard says IN do it tomor-
row." The man Of action "I'll do it
now"
Owe no man, Pay your debts and
be self respecting.

A UNIFORM BUILDING CODE.

The average municipal building code
Throughout the country is obsolete,
and even so is uneaua,ly and imper-
fectly enforced, writes Powell Evans in
The Survey. A few years ago I col
lected copies of the building codes Of
most of our cities. They constitute a
mass of disordered, undigested, and
conflicting rules. In the matter Of
fire danger there is little difference,
except in magnitude and congestion,
among most of our cities, and for
cities of a given size a uniform build
ing law should be adopted and en-
forced.
Questions of altitude, latitude, longi-
tude. local policies or conditions of any
sort do not enter in, save only as to
style, character and density Of build
ings. The United States government
could and should investigate authori-
tatively a proper building code for
adoption by municipalities all over the
country. elastic enough to be applic-
able to every sized city and town.
There is neither present machinery,
appropriation, nor constitutional au-
thority for the federal government to
impose such a code on the country;
but it could study. and formulate. and
impose a code on the CITY Washing
ton, which would be its authoritative
conclusion on this subiect broadly
enough considered for national use.
All persons and interests favoring a
reduction of the fire waste in the coun-
try should exert their influence upon
the national government to this prac-
tical end. The several state govern
ments could then be Influenced to
adopt this national municipal building
code. and as far as possible influence
its adoption in turn by the municipal
tiles within their borders perfectly
legal, practical and reasonable method
of bringing into being uniform mu-
nicipal code all over the country.

IMPROVING THE ROADS.

Signal work has been done by the
county commissioners during the past
year in the matter of road improvement
in Shawnee county. Something over
$4,000 has been expended by them, or
contracted for expenditure, on bridges
and highways. OF this sum nearly SS1, -
600 has been used in the rebuilding Of
bridges, and the remaining $36, 900 has
been spent on the roads. This is by far
the largest sum that Shawnee county
has devoted in any one year for the
development Of good roads. It shows
that the present board of county COM
missioners is alive to the best interest
Of the county. County funds can not
be put to better use than in the build
ing of good roads They bring the cit
les and towns and the rural districts
closer together. They make farming
more profitable. They are of equal ad-
vantage to the business interests of the
cities and towns with which the farm
ers deal.

as the oiling of roads. But this sys-

tions. The road formation in Shawnee

the roads. So there is no good reason

BunaIo Herd on Train.

Forty buffaloes, constituting one Of
the few remaining herds in the coun-
try, have just had a long journey by
train, and hereafter will be denizens
of New Mexico instead of Utah. They
are the property of Buffalo Jones, so
known because years ago he decided
to bend his efforts towards the prescr-
vation of these animals. He has since
gathered all he could, and many ZOOS
throughout the country have been able
to get the much priced specimens of
this animal only because of his efforts.
His main herd for some time las
been kept on a ranch in southwestern
Utah, near the border of the Kaibab
forest reservation. He decided recent
ly, however, that 1t would be better 10
move the bison to New Mexico This
involved a long journey. First, with
the aid of an experienced cowboy, he
drove the herd to a railway station,
100 miles from his ranch. With great
difficulty the animals were persuaded
to enter the cars. All are wild, and
some are extremely vicious, and they
did not like the incIosure offered to
them.
They were finally put aboard, how
ever, and entered upon the long jour
ney, which had to be taken in a long
semicircle through Salt Lake, Chey-
enne, Denver and Santa Fe-
The buffaloes did not take kindly to
the car travelling, and it was impossi-
BILE to let them out when rests were
taken for feeding and watering. They
were in good condition, however, when
they passed through this city--Denver
