Build Them Now.

The Parkersburg State Journal
may always be counted on as an
earnest advocate of the good roads
idea. 1t has lately become so en-
thusiastic over it that 1t has ,abol-
ished the steam railroads and has
taken imaginary auto rides to MUIR
phystown, Cairo, Ravenswood and
st. Marys before leaving the sub
iect. Then It wakes so extremely
optimistic as to say:
'"The time is bound to come when
It will not matter much where a
man lives, he will have very much
the. same accommodations and lux
uries. IT is going to be a great
world in time and good roads are
one of the things that will make It
50. Let's spend. a couple of hun
dred million dollars year in con-
Btrueting the very bes. and most sub,
stantial. One curious thing about
using money. In such a way, is that
we do not lose 1t but get the roads
and have 1t still. The money only
changes hands and It is the changing
hands of money that does more to
make the world happy and con-
tented and prosperous than anything
else, excepting always above every
thing else.g true and genuine relig-
lon."
The Telegram is with the State
journal in this good roads crusade.
To the State Journals injunction to
build the roads and build them
hard" the Telegram desires to add
"build them solid, substantial, firm,
rigid, compact, lasting, but above
all, build them now" Good roads
are blessing to the people even if
some OF them do not know it. Just
the other day the Telegram read an
article which showed that bad roads
have been largely responsible for
making farmers wives insane by
keeping them isolated from neigh
bors and friends for months at a
time; and the Telegram has itself
showed many other injurious and
evil things that have been caused by
bad roads.
1t is Just as important to have
good roads as It is to keep ones self
clean. There was time in the his
tory of our civilization when per
sonsl cleanliness was not regarded
as essential TO right living. but that
delusion was swept away during
the European renaissance with other
barbaric things. Just so will the
ridiculous and preposterous idea of

saying Smart Things.

1t does not contribute to the char
acter OF man to be always making
making an effort to say smart thinga
Ito be constantly effervesclng in
nonsense, declares the Ohio State
Journal. There are many people
that way. They are innocent, but
useless. A nice little joke or an
anecdote with point in 1t is all
right, but that is not trying to be
smart, unless a man is always at It.
The serious effect is on the ego,
not on the other fellow. 1t is de-
bilitating, degenerating, always to be
thinking up something smart. 1t is
noble to be thinking up something
that is true, elevating, informing
something that increases a mans
knowledge and awakens aspiration.
The greatest praise one can give an
other is to say after leaving film:
81 am a little stronger and happier
after having met him"
That is what one would say oil
earnest, helpful and hopeful people
one meets. One does not say it Of
the people that are always trying to
be smart, and who recognize in one
only a shallow mind. Life is real;
not joke.

PEophets Wlthout Honor.

"A Fighteous whack Is taken by the
Plstsbhrs Gazette-Times at the pro-
fessionai ciafryoyants and char
latans OF their Tx who are now
making capital Of alleged predictions
eoncernlng@ the Titanic disaster.
Says that newspaper:
Az is usual after great disasters,
professional prophets who ought to
be without honor in every country
are coming forward with unblushing
assertions that they foresaw the
sinking Of the Titanic, and even
warned those who became victims Of
the fate in store for them IL they
embarked upon the ship of death.
ut is significant that they do not
mention among the clients to whom
they gave timely warning the names
.of any Of the survivors who might
eorroborate the prophets state
.ments. Dead men expose no char
latans. A Paris clairvoyant is re.
eeiying considerable free advertising
because she claims to have warned
W. T. Stead six years ago that he
would lose his life at sea. Even il
she Is telling the truth, the fuffll-
ment Of such a long distance predlc-
ton is nothing wonderful. Stead
was an inveterate traveller and it
was within the bounds Of possibility
that the random guess would some
day hit the mark. This same seeress
declares ominously that the year
1912 is "a black one. other marine
catastrophes will follow the Titanic
wreck. Cataclysms threaten on all
sides. The sea especially is marked
out as source of danger. The dan
gerous epoch will last until March
81, 1913"
At time when the sober though
of two nations is directed toward
the causes of the great tragedy and
the best means of guarding against
a repetition of such shocking oc-
currence. the note of impudent
uuackery contributed by these false
prophets for revenue only is dis
cordant and abhorrent to all right
thinking persons. Susceptible indi-
viduals should be warned against &C.
cepting their statements as possess
ing the slightest value. They are
cheats, obtaining their money under
false pretenses. They fraudulently
seek to capitalize an appalling dis
aster for the benefit of their own
pockets. 1t is a pity their pernic-
ioqs activities can not generally be
suppressed by law.
