ObOls a day; in $50 about eight obols
in upper Egypt. The obol was equal to
about 2 2-3 cents. A road costing
100000 sesterces would mean the
work of $4,000 men one day. II we
remember htat money then had about
three times the purchasing power that
it has now, We will see that the cost
a mile of these roads roads would not
differ greatly from the cost Of mile
Of first-class railroad, without equip
ment.
1t was possible for a well-to-do trav-
eler who could pay the price to make
a hundred miles a day on these Roma
roads. is it not a curious thing that
the Romans, who were almost az wise
as we are in a good many things, did
not establish postal SYSTEM Let
ters had to be sent by messengers.
Pliny the younger, in writing to a
friend, complaining that he had no
letter from him, and urging him to
write, says: And do so even If you
have to send special messenger. l
will pay his travelling expenses and
give him present. if only he brings
me the news l wish to hear" There
was private enterprise that carried
mail. We doubt if they had parcels
post. The most these carriages or
stages could make was about forty or
fifty miles day.
Therefore the Roman roads were
about like our main trunk lines Of
railroads. built by the government and
maintained partly by the government
and partly by the provinces through
which they ran. They were super
vised, a public officer having charge
OF this, just like the division superin-
tendent of railroad today.-Wal-

that further concessions were in or

still remaining public lands. Quite
obviously, the choicest and most de-

After a weeks battle that right
might prevail and the wishes of the
people observed, the wrong, great
wrong, finally prevailed at the Chi
cago convention and late Saturday es-
ening William H. Taft and James s.
Sherman We're renominated by the
Republican party for president and
vice-president, respectively The
steam roller in the hands OF the Taft
faction not only flattened out all the
opposition to Taft in the convention
but vas also ruthless in running over
the will OF the great rank and lie
of the party. 1t may be said that
the machine was worked under such
high pressure and SO recklessiy driv-
en- that it is now practically beyond
control and running in ever widening
circles, which can have tut one end
ing, The overwhelming defeat OF the
Republican party under the leaders Zip
that has been selected next Noven Der.
It is as certain to crush Taft then
as it crushed Roosevelt and the will
Of the people at Chicago last week
We cannot for moment conceive
that the political crime that was c1n-
mittcd there will be condoned and
forgiven. Right is right, and wrong
must ever meet the penalty of it's
fransgressions. Whether or not the
Roosevelt faction puts its own ticket
in the field. the fate of the ticket
nominated at Chicago is already de-
ternined, was determined by the very
act that brought it into being a
boilers ticket, little as We would like
have better chance Of winning than
the one that has been given us The
platform adopted at Chicago is not
SO bad as might have been loo%ied for
from the element that controlled the
cont cntiCn, though it is not in any
sense a progressive one. And what
would its declarations amount to 10
those the convention appointed 10 CAL
ry them out. President TAFT could
get off the platform of 1912 as readily
as he stepped Off the platform Of 1908
There is little more to be said Of
what will so down in the history of
The Republican party as the big mis-
take OH 1912. The interests that
have SO long controlled machine pol
tics still had 4 firm grip at Chicago,
but the people are awake to the situ-
alton and there must either come a
change in which popular government
will supplant the present method Or
the nation must make up its mind
to submit to the rule OF an oligarchy
of wealth.
