At this time of year when so many
automobile tourists are on the road.
and when people from elsewhere are
coming to Mineral Point to visit rela.
tives and friends. travelling ia automo

in regard to the road conditions exist

1t Is nm established fact that the
roads leading out of Mineral Point are
In much more need of repair than the
roads do as one progresses farther away
from the city.
We cannot account for this being the
case. and IL is hoped that the fsrmers
who live nearer town will get busy
soon and try and get their share of the
road in as good condition as the roads
bordering on the farms OF their neigh
bors who live farther out,

Change OF Stamps Popular.

The change In the postal regulations
permitting the use Of regular postage
stamps on parcel post matter has
greatly convenienced the business
in this department, according to post
masters throughout the country. Tho
fact that 1t is II great convenience to
tho public to use the regular stanps on
parcel post matter is probably the rea-
son for the increase in business. The
change in the regulations was made
July ist.
Under the new stamp regulations a
person may send parcel post matter
through the mail by the use of the reg
ular stamp This makes 1t unneces
sary for \ person to keep on hand two
supplies of stamps. Under the old
methods hundreds Of packages were
held up daily in the various postofiices
in the country because of the use OF tho
wrong stamps. This was all done
away with when the changes went into

BRYAN DEFENDS HIS
CHAUTAUQUA PLANS
Says He Is Sacrificing S4O,-
900 Per Year in Cabinet.

Washington, July 16.-Secretary of
State Bryan felt obliged to defend
himself again against the flood of
criticism that has poured in on ac-
count OF his absence from Washing,
ton on the chautauqua platform.
Mr.. Byran issued a statement in
which he announced that his forth
coming six weeks speaking tour
would be his vacation. He reiterated
his statement that he was unable to
live within his salary of $12, 200 a year
and added that he is sacrificing $780,
600 net income by serving as secre-
tary of state for four years. Mr..
Bryan acknowledged that in the last
seventeen years. he has saved $170,-
900, Inasmuch as this apparently does
not include investments which Mr.
Bryan may have made, there seems to
be good reason for the statement that
he is worth between 100000 and
$500 900.
While Mr.. Bryan was doing this eX-
planning at the state department, Sen
ator Bristow introduced a resolution
calling on President Wilson to advise
the senate what salary is necessary in
order to retain the government the eX-
elusive services of the secretary of
state and keep him in Washington.
These two developments indicate
clearly the rumpus that has been stir
red up in the national capital over

Hurd, president Of the Lawyers
Mortgage company and Edwin O.
Hotter, a lawyer and an eX-state com
missioner of prisons. said that Sing
Sing prison should be emptied. as
dynamited. Both said the prison
could be replaced by others within a

urged the people TO bring such pres
sure to bear tha' the men now PEN

II there is no other way out OF it,

than keep men 'entombed" as Mr
Hotter expressed it.

in his hands to stop Immediately the
doubling up of prisoners in Sing Sing
"a shameful condition that has

MIR. Hotter said, the worst criminal
of the lot at Sing Sing"
Mr.. Hotter and others stand ready
to see that the 800 or so men at Sing
Sing who are now quartered il filthy
cells with other men are removed at
once to Great Meadow prison or es-
tablished in a camp somewhere up
state where their lives will not longer
be imperiled.
Mr.. Hurd feels the same way. He
went up to Sing Sing about three
weeks ago and is still hot about what
he saw there.

wrong in our prison methods, any,

old notion of vengeance on a man who
has done wrong. Society must be
above vengeance. We make the men
deadly enemies of society and then
turn them loose
Il went through Sing Sing and saw
men huddled together in tiny, airless
holes filled with dreadful stencil
and infested with vermin That was
enough to disgust me with the prison
system we have today. I would like
