ROADS THAT GO SOMEWHERE
NOW AN INCESSANT DEMAND
One Plan Would Connect All State
Capitals With Highways.

Roads to go somewhere" is an ex-
preston heard necessarily in cOnnec-
ton with the country wide attention
to the improvement of the highways.
A road extending across a township.
Of course, has value; it has increased
value when it goes across county; it
has considerably increased value when
it extends across a state. but it is of
infinitely more value when it extends
from state to state across the CONT
nent.
IF l had my way about it would
build great national system of roads
leading from our national capital to
the capital Of every state in the I'm
ion. Some say that that would bank
rupt the government. Have you ever
stopped to think what it would cost?
Probably $4,000 miles would complete
trunk line through every capital. To
build the best road that modern en-
gineering has devised would make the
average about $4,000 per mile The
western half of these roads will cost
whole lot less than the eastern half.
Eighteen thousand miles multiplied by
$4,000 makes $216.OOO.OOO We have
spent millions of dollars upon the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors and
millions of dollars on the improvement
Of the Panama canal" said ]. M.
Lowe, president of the National Old
Trails Ocean to Ocean road, the other
day.
In connection with road matters. va
rious parts of the country show grad
ually improving methods in regard to
highway improvement. Arkansas has
just voted to establish state highway
department. while Idaho has done the
same. in addition to which an apprO-
priation of 100000 has been made for
laying. surveying and starting the con-
struction of a system of state high
ways. Promising legislation is pend
ing in Maine. Pennsylvania, Missouri
and several other states.

Slowly but surely the super
tluous country papers are being
weeded out. The old idea that
any disaffected individual was
entitled to the support of news.
paper for the airing of his own
grievances, is dying away. The
people and the merchants no
longer support papers establish
ed to maintain the cause of an
ambitious politician or a schem-
ing banker. In the old days the
people extended their support to
u C institutions blindly, not
thinking that they were being
made the goat" Nowadays
the readers and the advertisers
have learned to prefer a news
paper which exists upon it's mer-
it's entirely as newspaper, so
long as it is honest and impartial,
and they care little whether the
ambitious individual has a news
paper of his own or not.-Wade-

| Every newspaper is familiar
with the request, please do not
bills h anything bout it. "
Sometimes it is made in the form
of a demand and accompanied by
threats of dire results if acqui-
essence does not follow.
There are few things the
public ought to keep in mind in
the matter of newspaper re-
lation to the news.
In the first place newspaper
owes an obligation to it's whole
circle of readers to print a fair,
comprehensive report Of the
days happenings. 1t cannot
overlook this responsibility
merely to please individuals.
That policy involves an injustice
to the many and favoritism to
the few. Who shall be favored?
Much of the news that is print
ed unfortunately occasions an
nOyance and often heartache to
somebody. That is an unavoid-
able incident of the newspaper
business. Is there justification
for shielding from such cOnse-
QuenceS the man or woman who
has influence, socially or in bust
ness, while the many who lack it
must be treated without such
consideration?
Persons who wish to escape
publicity, should be careful not
to make news, or should count
the cost of advertisement to the
world as part of tie price they
must pay for what they have de-
termined upon doing.
There are certain easily defined
zones of publicity. The individ.
| ual who steps into any of these
may count upon getting his name
in the newspapers. One is the
courts, civil and criminal. The
man who goes to law invites ad-
vertisement. Yet many men
and sometimes women-appeal
to a newspaper to suppress re-
ports of legal proceedings in Or
der that they may be saved an
noyance.. The time to consider
immunity is before resort to law.
Departure from the conven-
tionalities of life is another means
of entering the publicity zone.
Conduct that is off the beaten
trail affords news. Those who
defy social observances or tread
upon established institutions
must not expect to escape print,
and should not ask to be saved
from such notoriety.
Further, much Injustice may
be done by the suppression of
news. The tongue of gossip,
uniformed of the real fact, can
do hundred times more injury
to the innocent than publication
of the truth will do to those &C.
tually involved. Often a news
paper is shielding the reputation
of suspicion when it is telling the
truth about one who has incurred
the liability to censure.
A newspaper, with sense Of
responsibility, will exercise a
certain discrimination. There
may he times and circumstances
that justify suppression. Some
happenings may be suppressed
if the reporting of them serves
no proper end. Of two things
the responsible newspaper will
be jealousy careful, the good
name of woman and the repu-
tation of financial institution.
Both are of that delicacy to be
easily hurt. The good name of
a woman is a treasure beyond
price, and a cloud cast upon the
reputation of trust company Or
