FEARS GOOD ROADS HALT
Highway Commission Urges
Bond Issue of $50,000,000

Albany, oct. 16.-The State Highway
Commission. In a statement to-day, says
that II the people fail to approve at the
coming election the proposition TO bond
the state for an additional S5O,OOO,OoO for
good roads construction 1T will mean
practical stoppage OF the state in the com
pletion OF the highway system, which
would be a shame after the rapid progress
made during the last year.
THE new bond issue Is to be appor-
toned on a different basis from the old
issue passed in 1906. Instead OF the APP
portionment to the counties being made
on a mileage basis. IT will be made on a
money basis, the amount of money each
county is to receive being calculated on
the area, population and mileage OF
roads"

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The Circuit Bench OF Cook County
is essentially dignified body and Is
composed in the main OF able law.
yers and upright, honorable men.
Most Of the judges who sit on 1t
to-day earned their laurels in many
a hard fought case in the Courts.
They became familiar with Court
practice by the hardest kind Of work
and by constant attention TO the in.
terests OF numerous clients.
Those OF them who ventured into
public life hewed closely to the line
OF their profession and never lower.
ed its dignity by scrambling for
every Job that had salary attached
TO IL which they thought they could
lift with ease.
That is why the Circuit Bench
stands so high in the opinion Of the
people that is why they are so jeal'
Gus of its reputation.
That also might be given as the
reason why there is so much comment
over the election as one of its mem
bers. OF a man who has sought office
ever since he struck the town, and
whose principal claim 10 notoriety
has been, not his ability as lawyer
but the vicissitudes he has encount
cred in seeking permanent attach
ment 10 payroll.

REORGANiZE THE FIRE DEPART.
MENT.

The Chicago Fire Department needs
reorganizing badly, ,
It is not the fire department that
Is used 10 be and this fact has been
commented upon for some time by
competent observers.
The rank and file OF the department
Is probably as good as ii ever was.
The officers of the department are
not as good as their predecessors, as
a rule.
This is the time 10 talk about fire
department efficiency and not after

department is not due 10 any one man,

mass and a careful investigation by
experts may demonstrate the reason
for IL.

CIVIL SERVICE LEvlTY.

We notice that some Of the daily
papers make practice of publishing
the funny answers to questions asked
Of persons who undergo examinations
for the City and County Civil Service.
Why those answers are made public
is hard to find out as people who try
for the Civil Service ought to be treat

as intelligent or as we'll to do as the

ROOSEVELT.

Roosevelt is going to be the Repub.
lican nominee for President.
That is settled.
In Illinois he got bigger majority
than Taft did votes.
He beat Taft in Ohio.
That he is strong with the people
no one can deny.
That he will beat Clark or Harmon
out OF their boots, nobody does deny.
Who have the Democrats got to
beat him with?
There Is still time left before the
convention to figure on this to some
purpose.
