to Be Dreaded.

One Of the most potent arguments
against the construction of the

the building Of this work by the

was the frightful number of fatali-

theme with the magazine writer and

honored story by showing that
whereas the number of ties amount

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

A good roads league has been
organized at Columbus for the
purpose Of building a good road
to some centrally located railroad
town. These people mean bust
rcss, and they are going at the
thing in a business way.
The object is to build a road
that will be good at all seasons of
the year, in order to get the pro-
ducts of the fine country tribu-
tary to Columbus to market at
less cost than at present.
The league will, of course, ex-
pect financial aid from the town
to which they build, and they
should have it, as the advantage
would be mutual.
Washington is the logical point
for this proposed road to strike
the railroad, and a good road can
lie built from Columbus here at
minimum Of cost. The clay sand
road; that is, a road built of GER
tlin proportions Of clay and sand
nd then baked" is said to be
che of the best lolds that can be
built, and, where the two materi-
ais are close together and easy to
ret at, as in this case, one Of the
very cheapest. The only thing
would be TO have a competent en-
gineerlay out the road and super
intend the construction. This is
the nearest point to the railroad,
and if built here the road would
caEnect with the "Old Military
road, which will some day be a
national highway.

Reports from the war in the
Balkans, though meager, are to
the effect that the unimpeachable
Turk is at last about to get what
has been coming to him for
sometime. There are no war
correspondents allowed with the
armies Of either Of the contest
ants in the conflict, and the re-
ports that reach the outside only
come through the lines through
wounded soldiers or unofficial
sources, but enough is known to
lie sure that the Turk is being
steadily driven to his last strong
hold in Europe, after fearful
losses in battle. The Bulgarians
and their allies are fighting with
q desperation and valor which is
irresistible, and they have come
out victors in every important
conflict: while the armies of the
BalEin states are driving the
forces of the Sultan to the south,
the armies of Greece are
coming in from the southwest,
thus placing the forces Of Turkey
between two fires, where it is
to be hoped the Ottoman power
will b e forever crushed in
Europe, but there is the influence
CT the great powers of Europe to
be rccl1Ond with, and whether or
not they viii allow the Bulgaiians
and their allies to enjoy the fruits
of victory is another question.
The balance of power has for
generations kept the Turk in
ConstantinoDle and may continue
to do so, unless the allied powers
capture the place and put up a
rather stiff bluff to hold it. If
Germany, Austria, Russia and
England see fit, of course they
could prevent this and keep the
Turk in his strong hold, but can
they afford to do it in view of the
misrpla and anarchy that can be
charged to the government of the
Sultan. The powers have not
interviewed to stop the massacre
and all the nameIess outrages
committed. blythe Turk. Now can
they as christian nations come
in and prevent an outraged and
down-trodden people from enjoy
ing the permanent fruits of a
victory bought at the price of so
much bloodshed? Shame on the
powers if they do

LURE OF THE CITY CONSTANT
Human Nature Such That Its Appeal
Always Will Be Felt and
Given Heed.

There are two human attributes to
which the city appeals irresistibly,
quite apart from the better cppor-
tunity it affords of material advance
ment-the gregarious instinct and
the love of excitement. Improved
locomotion and means for commune
eating thought from eye to eye and
from car to ear, the organization of
social functions in rural centers, and
lectures illustrated by the moving
life in the cinematograph-to take
the latest addition to the mechanical
aids TO eXposition-will all help. But
their influence may be ccntripetal
with some, centrifugal with others.
40 conceivable device by which the
country may gain some share of the
enjoyment of the town can destroy
the lure of the city. The farmers
calling is one of constant and unrc-
hitting toll. No process of evolu-
ton will evolve a COW which will
consent to do without milking on
Sunday. A modest standard of
physical comfort, devoid of all ex-
pensivc Injuries, must continue to
be the lot of the tillers of the soil.
The one way to offset the downward
tendency is to revolutionize the men
tai outlook of the rural population,
to concentrate it upon the open
country.-Atlantic Monthly.

We have laws for the protec-
ton of game birds except during
certain seasons, and laws for the
protection Of all other birds at
all seasons, with few exceptions.
Still the birds are becoming
scarcer every year; this is not
because they have migrated, for
they are native birds that nest
and raise their young in this Gil
mate and would multiply If left
alone. They are slaughtered by
thousands at all seasons, not Tor
food or for any useful purpose,
but for the mere pleasure OF Kill
ing. Guns, rifles and ammunl-
stion have become cheap-any one
can own pot metal gun and get
plenty of ammunition for tritle,
the result is that nearly every
boy has gun and has to lind
something to shoot at, and makes
a target of everything in the shape
of bird he is able find, hooking
birds, red birds and all other
birds look the same to him and
were only made to shoot at.
This slaughter of the birds is
not altogether confined to the
boys; great many who have not
been classed as boys for a good
long time are guilty of the same
offense. No more attention IS
paid to the law than if it did not
exist. The result is, our native
birds are rapidly being extermi-
mated and insect enemies are
rapidly multiplying in orchards,
fields and gardens.
Thoughtlessness and ignorance
is responsible for a great deal of
this, but if the people will not
stop to think, the one remedy is
to let them bump up against the
law a few times, then they will
think twice before they shoot.
If the law protecting birds is not
good law, it should be repealed
and if it is a good law, and there
is no doubt of it, it should be en-
forced.
The man OF boy who violates
the law should be reported to the
proper authorities and the law
enforced. tits the duty of every
good citizen to obey the laws of
his country, and if he will not
observe the law because it is the
law, then he should be reported
and made to observe it.

When the voter casts his ballot
for presidential elector he is
supposed to vol \ for the candi-
date of his choic but this is not
necessarily so, for the presiden-
tial electors..have dissention an /
there is nothing to prevent them
from using it should they see
fit, save custom. 1t has been
done. and could be done again.
In 1920 when James Monroe re-
ceived the entire electoral vote,
one of the electors cast his vote
for John Adams to keep it from
being unanimous, as Washing
ton was the only man who had
that honor and it was desired to
preserve it in him.
If the electors only act so as
udIly mdCIllleS 10 CdSU UIle FOue
for president, why not vote for
president direct?
The president is supposed to
be elected at the November
election, but this is not so, as the
president is actually elected on
the second Monday in January
when the electors meet and cast
their votes for the choice of the
party they represent. This is
custom, but the law does not
compel them to do it.
