journalists.
The New York World, an indepen-

Democratic party.
The New York Evening Post, an in.

weakest candidate the Democrats could

Samuel G. Blythe, the famous poIit-

candidate who is opposed by the de-

The lesson is plain. Wilson Is the one

all the other trusts are against Wilson,

HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.

The last legislature passed an
amendment to the Geran act
which makes a change in the
form of ballot. This change will
effect the ballots to be voted on
May IS, and therefore party
leaders, as we'll as the voters,
should take notice Of the new
statute. The change removes
the squares in which the candt-
dates to be voted for are marked,
from the right side Of the names
Of the candidates to the left side.
All the ballots for the primary
on May % will be printed &C
cordlng to the new form, and
the voters will therefore have to
mark the TX" on the left side Of
the candidates voted for instead
of on the right side, as they did
last fall.

The Cincinnati ;Enuirer yesterday
had the following: Bobby Quinn, the
competent and cheerful Secretary of

ing from the Blue Grass, where he has
been doing little scouting. Bob says
that scout has to have his eyes peel
ed and his hand in his pocketbook
these days. In one town down there
said he, there was pitcher with a
hinky-dink mOtion,ssa little fellow who
wouldn't be worth 10 cents to a Glass

watching anuther fellow work, when
the President of the club sided up to
me and asked who | liked certain play
ers on the team. / replied as politely
as | oculd and he finally got around to
the pitcher, who happened to win the
game. through no fault of his own.
saidl he looked pretty good. preferring
to tell a story than to knock the fel-
low. Then the cub power told me
lot of big league people were after
him but he would let me have him for
$500. | told him to let him go to one
of the big leagues, and the next day
the pitcher was released uncondition-
ally. That's what you're I'D against

Fire.

AS the result of a fire which started
about o'clock Saturday afternoon and
which originated in his storeroom. Mr..
Dunlap Howe, formerly Of this city,
suffered the loss ofshis entire stock of
groceries in Carlisle. The fire spread
so rapidly that Mr.. Howe was unable
to save anything from his store.

succeeded in confning the flames to
the building where it Foriginated. Mr..

amount to about $4,000. while the total
loss on the building and goods is esti-
mated to be between Sc, 900 and $1,000.

endangered. The origin of the fire is
unknown. Mr.. Howe formerly resided
in Paris, where he was engaged in the
hotel business. and is the father Of

delayed too long, 1t will be more
drastic when it does come; so those
that own automobiles that do not
wish their speed-power excessively
regulated, should act without delay.
l agree with you as to the amount
the state should first appropriate to-
ward road improvements; but disa-
gree with you as to how it should be
expended.
To my mind the important part for
the state to do is to acquire the own
ership of, and begin developing as
many available gravel bars and rock
ledges upon our rivers and streams,
especially navlgable streams, as 1t is
possible.
It is state conservation of natural
resources used in road surfaelng,
and state aid in preparing and max
ing such material available, at re-
duced cost and at all seasons Of the
year that is needed; and not actual
construction. If such was provided
for, the counties and local districts
will be able to provide for the grad
ing and surfacing work.
Some time in the near future I
will try and write an article along
these lines, and attempt to show how
suitable surfacing material and
drainage and sewer pipe could be
prepared by the federal, state, coun-
ties and cities governments work
ing comparatively, at greatly reduced
cost; and making It so easily OBJ
tanned, that it would greatly stimu-
late and encourage road improvement
work. Yours truly,

Ed. Journal: | wish to congratu-
late you for your excellent article

llshed a few days ago.
You have a clear. comprehensive
grasp of the growth, development
and permanency Of the present sys-
TEN OF improvement under our coun-
ty courts and district supervisors.
And in advocating the further up
building and continued development
Of the present system; and looking
forward towards It's future develop
ment, providing for a state system
of highways, you are getting down to
sound logical and practical sense
upon the subject
II the impractical good roads theor-
lists OF our cities could only realize
the truthfulness OF your statements
about their theories being rot and
tommy-rot as you define H. and
cease making confuslons and mis-
spending their efforts through mis-
leading agitation; II would prove Of
great benefit to the cause OF good
roads.
As II is, they are hlnderlng in
stead Of helping In the work. II the
city automobile owners want TO help
maintain our roads, and encourage
the farmers to do more toward road
building. they should draft and Sc
cure the passage Of law. regulating
the speed gears OF automobiles and
motor cycles; providing for a speed
gear limit Of about 20 miles an hour.
Such a law will be passed some time
lin the future; and II its passage is
