IMPROVED ROADS
IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, April ,, - Rhode
Island, the smallest State in the
Union, with an area of only 1850
square miles, ranks first of all the
States in its percentage Of improved
roads Under the direction of Secre-
tary Wilson, a very comprehensive
statistical investigation of the mile
age and cost of public roads in the
United States has recently been com
pleted by the Office Of Public roads,
u. s. Department of Agriculture. This
document reveals many interesting
facts. Thus, apparently, it Is not be-
cause of her small size that Rhode
Island is able to boast of 49.l4 per
cent of improved roads, for Delaware
with an area of 2O5O square miles has
only 622 per cent Of improved roads,
On the other hand Massachusetts
with an area of S3l5 square miles has
~ per cent of her roads improved,
or very nearly the same percentage
as Rhode Island. The size of the
State, therefore, seems to have lit
tie or no effect on the percentage OF
improved roads.
The investigations further SHOW
that there are 2,l99,645 miles of pub.
, lie roads in continental United
States. or this vast mileage. only 1870,

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WAILUKU, April 16.-The Alexan-
der House gymnasium was filled with
a crowd of people last night to watch
the championship game between the
girls from St. Andrews Priory, cham
pioRs of Honolulu, and the girls of the
local gymnasium team. Spectators
began arriving at 7 o'clock, before the
doors were open, in order that they
might be sure of front seats From
that time until the game began people
came in a steady stream. 1t was an
enthusiastic crowd. The cheering
during the evening was evenly di-
yided. There were many sympathiz-
ers among the Waikiki people, for
fathers aid mothers had girls on the
Priory team, and many friends from
away, together with the company of
Priory supporters who were ardent
in applause for their own team, kept
up the cheering for Honolulu. The
first half looked like an easy victory
for the visitors. Fifteen points
against the home team looked bad in.

that the brilliant victory of "a to 10

into as bad a defeat in this final
game of the series. The second half,

SMALLPOX NO LONGER A
BAR TO SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April o.
An attack of smallpox will be no bar
to social activities in Utah hereafter.
Under q policy announced by the state
board of health today, the hospitals
known as "pesthouses" will be closed.
Sufferers from the disease may hold
receptions or promenade the streets.
Flags are to be put up on houses
where patients are under treatment,
but the inmates may move about as
freely as if the disease were whoop-
ing cough.
The extreme reaction from the
quarantine of former years is in line
with a movement to enforce vaccina-
ton.

EXCITING SCENE WHEN WAILUKU
WON BASKET BALL CHAMPIONSHIP

almost Immediately, and the forwards
kept up the steady work of throwing
basket after basket, with the excellent
support from the rest of the team,
until IA points stood to the Gymna-
SUM teams credit and to the Ho-
nolulu team. Everyone realized that
a tie was now the result The cheer
ing was deafening. The crowd leaned
forward to see what the umpires
would do. When Billy Chillingworth
could calm the people he announced
that according to the rules, the first
two points won on either side would
determine the score. The teams went
at it almost mad in their determin-
alton to win. 1t was no easy matter
to keep track of the work, as the
action was so quick and so deter
mined. The whistle was blowing
every second or so. Two fouls on the
Gymnasium team gave the ball TO
Priory twice, but both times the bas-
ket was missed. At last the ball was
near the Waikiki goal, when the
crowd became quiet, watching every
move. Hannah Cummings then got
the ball. She was almost under the
basket, and made it. Such cheering
had never before been heard in Wal
lul;u. The crowd was wild with ex-
element, but amid the prolonged APP
plause the cheers of the two teams

Fifth-on the liquor question he

of its failure urges the passage of a

sixth-Dr Hatfield pledges him
self to urge and to help secure the
passage of a bill to create public
utilities commission in West vir-
ginia, after the plan of the public
utilities commission in the state of
New York. This, in the Judgment
of the Intelligencer. is by Tar the
most important economic measur.
that has been seriously proposed to
the people of West Virginia during
the last six years. The relations OF
the public utility corporations, OF
the street railways, of the electric
light, of the water, of the telephone
and telegraph and express companies
to the people Of the state need to be
more clearly defined. Abuses need
to be corrected, Improvements are
to be urged, and all this work can
be done by the state more effectively
through a public utilities commits
sion than by any other method. As
a matter OF fact, the state legisla-
ture is the only power which at pres
ent can attempt to regulate and con-
Itrol public utility corporations. As
the legislature meets only once in
two years, and is crowded with other
work, 1t has been practically impos-
sible to secure from that body either
effective or reasonable action deal
ing with public utility corporations.
Spasmodic outbreaks of wrath
against this or that abuse, praoticed
by a public utility corporation, have
occurred and that has been the end
of it. BY creating commission tc
which ali complaints, questions OF
rates and questions of the service
can be properly referred and by i'm
powerlng that commission to ascer'
tain facts and to make decisions
subject of course, to the courts, we
lprovide an adequate and we'll or
ganized body that will be in a posi-
ton to render great public service
1t will be observed that EDr. Hat
IHe1d's platform is not personal ap
peal. 1t is not based upon section
alism, past service or any real oil
fancled claims that he has upon thu
lRepublican party In the state o
West Virginia. Ut is based upor
principles which ought to appeal t.
very large number of thoughtful
voters and ought to attract con
siderable amount of support.

pr. HatfieIl,s Platform.

The platform Of 'Dr. H. D. Hat.
field, candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of this
state, as published by the Telegram
Thursday, deals with questions Of
today in a manner that shows him
70 have the best interests of the
people Of the state at heart. His
declarations are open and free. He
does not dodge or attempt to dodge
any question but commits himself
positively. There is wide favorable
comment on the platform, a sam
pie OF which is as follows by the
Wheeling Intelligencer:
DR. E1atfeld's platform is of par
ticularlinterest, because It deals with
q number of important subjects in
a frank and vigorous manner. In
this respect 1t is to be commended
to other aspirants for public office,
many ofSwhom seem to believe that
declamations and general statements
avoiding specific propositions are
suficient for the electorate. From
the announcement of DR.. Hatfield
the following Important suggestions
are drawn:
First-Dr, Hatfield favors the
employment on the state and county
roads Of convicts held in the Jail and
in the state penitentiary. He favors
an act that will enable judges in
their discretion to sentence convict.
TO work on the state and county
roads under the supervision of the
department Of agriculture, and also
legislation that will enable county
authorities to use prisoners de-
tanned in jails for the improvement
OF our county roads. This is a prac.
tical and original idea dealing with
an important subject. West Vir'
ginia needs good roads. There is nc
reason why convicts held in the jails
and the penitentiary may not under
proper conditions be employed IN
the maintenance and repair of pub
lie roads. On the contrary, It wouit
seem that this form of employment
would be more directly beneficial tc
the state, and in many cases more
directly beneficial TO the convicti
themselves, than their maintenance
in idleness in county jails or thei'
employment in the penitentiary, OF
work which is afterwards to be sole
in competition with. the products o
honest labor.
second-Dr. Hatfield favors al
adequate primary election law. Tina
is a law that will throw about part!
primaries the same safeguards a
are thrown about our general cleo
lions. This. the Intelligencerr be
lleves, is what the people Of thi
state and Of every other state wan!
Whether the primary be by magis
terial districts, by counties or state
wide. the primary should be homes
and. should be fairly protected. TIL
officers should be subject to tn
courts and the operations of tn
primaries should be subject to re
view and revision In the courts.
ThirdD Hatfield favors al
adequate employers liability law

Planting The Vegetable Garden.

Planting the Vegetable Garden.
It is not always advantageous to
plant the garden as early as possible.
Under. certain conditions nature
hastens the growth of late planted
seeds so that the difference in time
Of their ripening will not accord
with the difference, in paintings.
This is particularly the case when
the season is late and rainy.
Plant for a succession of the diff
ferent vegetables, A garden in
which most of the planting is done
at about the same time Will not give
as good results as where period
of time elapses between the second,
third or fourth paintings of the
same vegetables. Particularly Ia
this true of peas, says Farm and
Home. Where number of differ
ent varieties were tried the best re-
suits were obtained from one or two
varieties planted in succession.
In sweet corn, however, this was
not SO apparent. 1t was found hes;
to rely on several varieties as well
as successive paintings. If the sea
son was backward or the paintings
made unusually early, sweet corn
seemed to be very slow in growth,
on the other hand. the corn planted
later would grow very fast under ia
vorable conditions and almost catch
up with the first paintings of differ.
varieties.

While Democrats newspapers
take so much glee in the fact that
there is a spirited contest on among
Republicans for the presidential
nomination, they should not over
look the fact that all is not lovely
and the goose does not hang high in
'he Democratic camp. For instance,
one reads this headline: 'sGaynor is
mentioped as compromise candi-
date" 1t is evident that Democratic
leaders see something like dead
lock in the Baltimore convention.
This is especially hard on the Demo
cratic West Virginia state machine
as 1t indicates that Woodrow Wilson
is getting too near the goal to suit
it.
