OUR HIGHWAYS.

Harrisburg, Aug. 29.-Almost
$25, 100000 or one-half of the
amount OF the bond issue which 1t is
proposed to Issue in Pennsylvania
for the construction of a system of
State highways, was appropriated by
the State of New York last year for
the construction and maintenance of
roads. In the same year Pennsylva-
MAS total appropriations for road
purposes Appropriated hardly one
fourth of the amount specifically de-
voted to roads in New York state.
New York in the same year re-
organized its State Highway admins
tration, abolishing the highway COM
mission OF three members and
creating a State Highway depart
ment along the lines followed by the
Sproul highway department act Of
1911 in this State. The same gen.
eral plan for construction of high
ways has been adopted in Ohio and
Maryland, which have created high
way departments and set aside large
sums for the making of experiments
and the necessary work preliminary
to the establishment of a system of
State Highways. New Jersey is
planning development of it's already
extensive system of highways and
Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Kansas and
other western States have embarked
in road building on a scale which
will make the Keystone State hustle
to hold up its end.
Figures obtained by the Pennsyl-
vania Motor Federation, which is
working earnestly for the establish
ment and maintenance of a system
of roads that will connect county
market towns and traverse the rich
farming and scenic sections of
Pennsylvania, show how New York
has undertaken to build and main
tain roads which at many points
will connect with those projected in
Pennsylvania.
The New York appropriations are
an object lesson to Pennsylvania,
who will be called on next year to
vote on the proposition to issue S50,-
100000 of bonds, divided over a per-
iod OF years, for road construction.
For 1911 alone New York appro-
priated: For construction of certain
specified roads, $13, 900. For
improvement of public highways, S.
100000; for State proportion of
amounts appropriated for repair of
highways, $1,795, ,254.27; mai1ften-
structed by state aid, S1,2O7,O79.
In the same year the Pennsylvania
appropriations for roads were as fol-
lows:
Construction of state highways,
S3,000,000; for State aid in con-
struction of highways, $1,00O,000;
for construction of township roads,
100000; for payment to townships
of amounts due under road tax,
$690,000; for construction of Ma
tional road, 100000; for reimburse
ment of townships, $4,000.
Maryland in 1911 appropriated
s1,000,000 for road construction in
addition to other expenses authoriz-
ed.

revenue into the state through in

D. Shupp G. Co., Simon Shupp &
Co., F. d. Shupp and Milton Shupp,
who were among the successful ship
pers of the season, report a good sea-
son. During the berry season they
shipped and sold $4,000 quarts of
the fruit and paid out for
labor $1,000 in cash. 49,
600 quarts were shipped from Reed
ers, this county, the other 10000
having been carted to Easton,
Stroudsburg and other places and
disposed Of. The Shupps own 1900
acres of berry land they leased about
the same number, making 2,400 in
all that they control on which the
operations were conducted during the
season. All this land is in Tunk-
hammock township. They employed
100 pickers in the height of the
season.

LIVES AFTER BIG FALL.

Ice HouSe

b. A. Whalen, of Tobyhanna, the
superintendent of the Mountain
Spring Ice Company, fell from the
top of one of the ice houses to the
ground, a distance of about 80 feet,
on Saturday afternoon, but luckily
escaped with nothing worse than
severe bruises and a cash under his
chin. He said his employees were fill
ing cars with ice and he was about to
climb from the ice house to the
ground on the ladder when one of
the rungs broke and he fell. He
struck a piece of wood protruding
from the building and this checked
his fall. Twenty-seven stitches were
required to close the wound in the
chin.

THE ROOSEVELT WAY.

tDe0 AoineO Register ano Le00ef.J
Those who believe that the presi-
dent can stand up under the shock OF
the Ohio rebuke are placing very much
more reliance on the consistency OF the
southern. delegates than anything In
the past history of such delegates has
given warrant for.
Even II Mr.. Roosevelt were not
the whirlwind fnisher he is, rep
resentation in the convention so es-
sentiaily mercenary, would not prove
reliable asset. As it is. II may be
taken for granted that long before
the convention IS called In session
oyertures OF surrender will have
come to the Roosevelt managers.
It might be possible. II the Taft
leadership were ready for it. to
swing with energy to a compromise
candidate and yet stay the Roosevelt
rush. But there is little to indicate
that the president is OF that mind. or
that the notion has taken very firm
hold on those who are In control.
Vague hints Of unrest in the New YORK
delegation, and hints of action on the
part of Mr. Barnes, have not thus Tar
amounted to enough to justify ex-
pectations.
1t may be thought that the ma
tional committee can stem the tide by
seating contesting delegations. If con-
ditions were wholly different than they
are il the president were shrewd
fighter, and Mr. Roosevelt had less
hold on the popular Imagination, that
might be accomplished. But how can
the natiofisi, committee stand out
against the plain purpose of the coun-
try? 1t Will prove a moral impossible
ity It will he just as much moral
impossibility as the suggested action
of the Iowa committee was in the ia
nous Cummins-Perkins convention.
Everything is pointing Roosevelt
way. Not only is his nomination ap-
parently in sight, but his election
also is being assured. The victories
OF Champ Clark and Harmon are
scarcely less important to him than
his own. \ blind faulty seems to
possess his opponents in both his own
party and in the party of the oppose
ton. If anything could insure
Roosevelt: uprising lin November 1t
would be the triumph of the Harmon
Clark coalition at Baltimore.
The Ohio result makes it Roose-
vel, against the field. republican and
democratic, with the odds very
much m Roosevelt.
