THE COST OF POOR ROADS

student Of rural economies in Tennessee has
shown by careful computation that poor roads cost
the farmers Of that state four million dollars year.
a sum greater than their total amount of taxes.
In 1911 the values in Tennessee on corn. wheat oats
potatoes hay. tobacco and cotton were one hundred
and three million dollars The expense of hauling
these crops to market was eight million dollars An
adequate system Of wen-kept highways would have
cut this cost in half thereby saving enough money
to have built and maintained eighteen hundred
miles Of macadamized roads. In discussing these
figures and the lesson they teach. their compiler de-
cIares:
But the four millions is not al By any
means tChich the farmer loses by having bad
rods. The actual cost Of hauling is enormous
6ut there comes the profit he loses By having
to market the yield Of his farm sChiIe the roads
are NOT in condition TO hGul a halt load. In
Tennessee there are thousands Of miles of public
roads tohich can only be Esed portion Of the
year. When faH and t0inter comes they get in
such condition % is impossible to take an empty
to0g0n OUer them much less take load of farm

what is true Of Tennesse, is proportionatey
true OF every other state. The Of wagon trans
portation in this country amounts to eight hundred
million dollars annually; and investigation has
shown that good roads would reduce that to
four millions Every county. in every commonwealth
that tOleraes inadequate roads is paying its share
Of this tremendous and unnecessary tax More than
that. 1t Is retarding its development and is fet
terg the opportunity Of its individual citizens In
a community where roads are good land values con-
tlnually increase, merchants and farmers prosper
alike schools flourish and the people thrive in all
their interests. But where roads poor or in
sufficient Just the reverse is true.
It is the part of economy for state or a county

1t shows to us a weakness
of which we are all too guilty.
Why have we such a horror
of misplaced confidence, or
love betrayed, Of friendliness or
sympathy unreturned. 1t must
be our miserable egotism.
We care more to have our
vanity flattered than to indulge
freely in an emotion that can
make us great.
AS a matter of fact it is love
unrequited that is the noblest
love. charity that is abused that
is the finest, and friendship
which persists even after proofs
Of ungratefulness and treachery

SUMMER TIME.
And the land is full OF laughter
And the children follow after
Bees and butterflies and birds,
Singing songs that need words
Carolings of joy and glee
For the desk and book set free;
Filled with jubilance and living,
ALI their loving hearts outgiving
Thanks to summer for its pleasures,
And its fruits and flower treasures.
All her wealth dear Mother Nature
Spreads for every living creature
From insects in the grass,
To the wayfarers who pass,
Giving without stint measure
Food and drink and warmth and leisure;
From the glory Of the hills, ,
To the little grooming rills-
Life and joy and charm and sweetness.
Summer in its full completeness!

Keystone Socialist
Votes Went to T. r.

PITTSBURG, Nov. Returns re-
ceiyed from 5,911 election districts out
of $500 in Pennsylvania, including
Philadelphia, give Theodore Roosevelt
a plurality of 30,503 over Governor
Woodrow Wilson. The missing dis
tricts are expected to slightly increase
his plurality. The vote of the leading
candidates as computed from the
turns received was: Roosevelt, S95,02S;
Wilson, 364.525; Taft, 259, 344.
Taft carried Philadelphia by 1O,575
over Roosevelt, but outside that city
in the state the president ran third.
The returns for the Socialist party
candidate have not been sent out in de-
tail, but there is enough information to
show that hundreds of votes that Eu-
gene " Debs was expecting went to
Roosevelt. Wilson also lost some Dem
ocrats to Roosevelt and the colonel
picked up some Prohibitionists.
