Federal Cooperation for Good Roads

/
Secretary Houseton of the department of agr-
culture says that the state and federal govern
ments should work together for highway improve
nent in order that large proportion of the money
annually spent for road construction may not be
wasted.
In his own department the officer of publ ic
roads has been demonstrating the value of proper
road building by the construction of certain object
lesson roads and the forest service is carrying
out his idea of national and state cooperation in
road building. The law requires that ten per cent
of the gross receipts from the national forests
shall be spent in the states in which the forests
are situated. This money is expended for road
Improvement under direct control of the secretary
Of agriculture
The amount appropriated under this act based
on the receipts of the national forests for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1913 is 1924, 658. g.
From the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent road
item, there is an additional $134 831 10, which is
still available
In administering the ten per cent road fund,
forest officers charged with the actual plans and
expenditures in the neighborhood of their forests
have, in almost all cases, secured an equal or
larger cooperative fluid fromrstate authorities for
the building of certain pieces of road
With the money thus expended many import
ant roads are being built or put in repair. One
on the Wyoming national forest six miles long,
makes accessible to farmers large body of tim
Der and opens up region of great scenic beauty.
In northwestern Arizona part of the fund will be
used in connection with the LeFevre- Bright Angel
road, important because it makes accessible to
tourists the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In
one place the Ocean to Ocean Highway crosses
the Apache national forest, Arizona, and on this
project the forest service and the local authorities
cooperated enthusiastically.
This federal road fund is now available in all
national forest states of the west Just as fast as
returns come in. the forestry officials say. sim
liar fund will become available in states in which
eastern national forests are being secured.

Put heart into everything that you do The
work may not be easy, it may have many draw
backs, but always remember that there is not a
profession in the world that has not its peculiar
cares and vexations; BESIDES it is folly to search
out frets and burdens, and give your mind much
consideration to them. They belong not only to
your work, but to human life generally. Think of
the joys and other attractive points of your life
exalt and dwell upon them. and you will find the
work to be easy, difficulties become less and you
will soon be classed as success

Misquoted by Newspapers.

st. Adams, Sept. 19.-Frank G. vii
liams of Newport state bank inspec
tor, who is spending few days in
this city, denied today the report
which is going the rounds Of the
state press, in which he is credited
with saying that all the counties ex-
cept one favor the appointment of
John w. Redmond of Newport as
chief justice of the Vermont supreme
court in place of John w. Rowell,
who has resigned
Mr.. Williams says:"I never made
the statement that is going the
rounds OF the papers with relation to
Mr.. Redmond's support for the posi-
ton of supreme court Judge and
never made statement of any kind
with relation to it for publication.
nave said that majority of the bar
OF Orleans and Chittenden counties
have recommended him for the posi-
ton and that he had very strong
support in the other counties. The
character of his support indicates
that a very large number of the best
lawyers fthe state think him fully
qualified for the position on the su-
preme court and that his known legal
abilities. coupled with his indepen-
dence would make him a very valu-
able Judge"

SECRETARY BRYAN
GIVES UP HIS
LFCTURES
Has Decided To Retire From
Chantauqua
PUBLIC CRITICISM TOO MUCH
1t is Said That the Secretary of State
Has Cleared $4,000 Already
This Season.

Washington, Sep 19.--Secretary o.
State Bryan has decided to end his
tent lecture tour. The storm Of crit
icsm in this country and abroad that
followed his appearance on the lee
mre platform with yodlers, jugglers
and impersonators is believed to
have forced him to abandon his
plans.
Benjamin Davis, chief clerk Of the
State Department and intimate friend
of Mr. Bryan, announced tonight the
Secretary of State would deliver his
last ChautauQua lecture tomorrow
night at Warrentin, Va. Tonight he
was heard at Culpepper Va.
Mr.. Davis said MIR. Bryan had many
offers that would bring him in many
thousands of dollars, but that none
would be accepted. One of the most
recent offers was to be a preliminary
attraction in New York City next
Wednesday night at a prize fight
Mr.. Davis would not discuss the rea-
sons for abandoning the lecture tour
In reply to the first wave of Grid
cism Mr.. Bryan declared his salary of
$4,000 as Secretary of State was in,
sufficient 10 meet the fixed charges"
OF himself and family. lie intimated
he would have TO earn at least S10.-
600 more year. He has made $4,000
it is estimated up to that date. Ills
salary as Secretary of State, has
been less during that time.
1t is known to Mr.. Bryan's intima' @
friends that he has writhed under The
unfayorable comment, especially
from abroad, where he has been mer-
cilessly lampooned Those with pis
best interests at heart have urged
him to give up the tent lectures and
devote himself to his high office.
There is well founded belief
that the President himself took o.
hand. and that Secretary Bryan yield
cd to relieve the Chief Executive
from embarrassment.

Schmidt slayer of Anna Aumuller, in
a statement made today asked for an
early death. THE district attorney
wants me to go to the electric chair,
and | want to GO" he said. What's
the use of delaying"
Schmidt afterward expressed ideas
on the taking of human life that
fitted in with the theory OF Inspector
Faurot, in charge OF the murder in
vestigation. that the renegade priest
might have been planning series of
homicides. He declared himself be-
lever in euthanasia, and maintained
that he would be doing right even in
taking the lives of the crippled and
of persons undergoing mental or
physical suffering, detectives who
talked with him this afternoon re-
ported.
Il believe | would be carrying out
Gods WILL" Schmidt said, IF | put
out of this world all such people. |
would end their lives without their
suffering any pain
Faurot's suspicious of Schmidts
strengthened by the discovery among
Schmidts effects of book of physi-
clans death certificates and their
blanks necessary in disposing of the
dead. Schmidt declared these were
only fer use in the case of Anna Au-
muller. He had stolen the certifi-
Gates from reputable physician up
sown, he told The detectives, because
he had intended to kill the girl in
way that would make il appear thai
she had died Il natural death. But
afterwards he had decided to cut her
threat and dispose of her body as
best he could.
Schmidt's papers have given us
fifty clues" said Faurot today. 9any
one of which is Liable TO turn up
something new rbout his activities.
His industry was mazing and his re-
sourcefulness wonderful But | am
unable TO say now whether we
caught him at The beginning or at
