FEDERAL AID TO
THE POST ROADS

states transporting rural mails. We
hope that the state legislature will
also follow the example and supple
ment this amount with a like sum
and in this way, let the money act
as sort of bait to toll the people
into having good roads. Some Of
the gentlemen in the city districts
oppose this on the grounds of what
they call legislation in favor of one
class against another class, and say
further that the government has no
right to pay the state and local
communities for the use of their
property, but as was ably illustrat'
ed by Mr.. Lever, from this state,
they seem to forget the millions of
dollars that the government is an
nually paying to railroads, electric
and cable cars, steamships and for
the rent of post office buildings and
for pneumatic tube service and
house to house delivery in cities, of
mails by carriers. and they do not
seem to realize as Mr.. Lever says,
that Prosperity for the farm spells
prosperity for the cities, rural hap
piness means city contentment, the
town and country are interdepen-
dent, one cannot prosper while the
other fails to do so. Secretary Wilson
estimates that it costs each person
in the United States annually three
dollars and half on account of the
bad conditions of the roads" AND
GOOD ROADS WILL KEEP
PEOPLE ON THE FARM. We
sincerely trust the bill will soon be-
come law. A. S. II.

The members of Congress are di-
vided into two classes, first the
gentlemen who represent country
districts, made up mostly of far
mers, the lumbermen and miners,
and second, representatives from
city districts. The members from
the country districts and especially
those from the south have been
working quite while to try to get
the government to furnish some IL
nancial aid in maintaining and re-
pairing the roads over which the
mail riders pass.
Thomas Jefferson long since rec
ognized the propriety of this as is
found in his writings with refer
ence to internal improvements of
the country roads. Henry Clay said,
''Of all the modes in which the
country can employ its surplus reve-
nue., none is more permanent and
beneficial than that of internal
improvements. Fixed to the soil it
becomes durable part of the land
itself diffusing comfort and activity
and animation on all Sides" and
John G. Calhoun while secretary of
war said LET it not be said that
internal improvements should be
left wholly to the enterprise of the
state and individuals" A very i'm
portant bill is now up before con-
gress, which we think will pass, in
fact it has already, we understand,
passed the house, in which it is pro-
posed to spend from fifteen to twen-
ty-fve dollars per mile per annum

A Winslow Predicament

At special sesslon of the leg islature, an act was passed pro. viding, 1t shall be unlawful for any person holding a public office in this state to accept or use a pass" etc., from a railroad and making 1t punishable to do so by fine from $50 to $500, or i'm prlsonment in t.le county jail six months to one year, or both. Winslow, being railroad town, at its last election, elected for its officers, councilmen and attorney, mostly railroad employees, who as such hold passes for themsel- yes and families. These passes they valued and after this law was passed it was up to them to resign office or surrender their passes. They preferred the resig- nation of office, and the town was for a time without a coun- cil.-Williams News

It is said that three of the stin giest men in the state were in town yesterday. One of them will not drink as much water as he wants unless it be from an other mans we'll. The second forbids any of his family from writing anything but "small hand" as 1t is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops his clocks at night III order to save wear and tear on the machinery. All of them decline to take their county paper on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read newspapers, even in the day t1me.-Exchange

The oak is ill the middle of the forest, which Is surrounded on every side by trees that shelter and shade It, runs up tall and sickly; put away from it its pro- tectors and the first blast will overturn 1t. But the same tree growing in an open field, where 1t is continually beat upon by the tempest, becomes his own protector. So the man who is compelled to rely on his own re- sources, forms an independence of character to which he could not otherwise have attalned. Therefore prefer rather to climb up hill with difficulties than to roll down with inglorious ease.

The local lodge of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World will give another of their popu- lar dances at the Electric Thea tre next Thursday evening. In vitations are now being sent to all parties and persons to come to their dance, and from the number of invitations already sent out it looks like they will have a record-breaHing crowd. The price of admission will be $1 for gentlemen, and ladies will be admitted free. The ladies will serve supper and lunch for the small sum of 25c.

We sometimes hear a clergy man consoling mother distract ed over the death of her darling child, by telling her that mysteri- ous Providence has taken it from her for wise reasons and that she must find comfort in her bereave- ment. What! Has God snatched fl om loving parents a beautiful child just blooming into youth? Does the Creator of harmony produce discord? Does the au- thor of health and beauty smite his noblest work ere 1t IS finish ed-a work into which He has endowed with separations and possibilities as high as heaven itself? It is a libel upon Him, who has fashioned the human body so wonderfully wrought, that 1t may withstand ravages of time for q century. God does not murder or torture his child ren. He rather tries in a thous- and ways to induce them to keep the laws of health, which ii obeyed, would carry them to a ripe old age. He tries in every way to prolong life afterwe have forfeited every right to it and have become useless drones.

During the fiscal year ended June 80 last, 599 individuals were indicted by Federal grand juries on charges of using the
 mails to defraud. Ofl96 brought to trial 1S4 were convicted. The chief inspector of the postoffice department from whose report these figures are taken, intimates something like $77,OOO,OOO was coaxed from the pockets of gull lible citizens by frauds of the sort that fall within the province of the postal authorities because the swindlers make use of the mails. Our community has not been exempt. We do not know just how many have been duped because when one IS thus swindl- ed they are apt to keep 1t a se- cTet. Were 1t not tor the vigilance of the postofice inspectors and their energy in running down the swindlers who use the mails in this business we dare say the takings of these sharp witted gentry yearly would equal the annual appropriations of a bill lion-dollar congress. Swindles as ancient as the Spanish prison CTS" scheme and the green goods" game-exposed times without number-still foster their victims by scores.
