ed thousands of people who have
never seen him. Through a long
life of political activity not the
slightest stain attaches to his re-
cord. Outsiders may think that
he exhibited too much faith in
the integrity of his police de-
partment at the time of the dis
covery of the grating scandals;
but, it must be remembered that
New York's police force numbers
many thousands; that the oppor-
tunities for graft and wrongdo-
ing are widespread and numer-
GUS, and that it was only natural
that some officers should prove
'recreant to the trust reposed in
them. A great deal of noise was
made over the trial of Becker
and his associates, but when all
is said, only a very small per-
centage of the police force was
ever involved. Mayor Gaynor
was seriously considered as a
suitable candidate for the presi-
dency, and had he lived there is
no telling what honors would
have come to him. New York
and the country will miss him
and will have difficulty in finding
suitable successor for him.

A Start On State Highways.

Arkansas little venture into
the good roads game was suffi-
cient, we hope and believe, to
whet the appetite of the people
of the state for continuous effort
on that line. It was we'll under
stood that good roads could not
be made all over the state in two
days time. All that was hoped
for was to arouse the people and
to teach them the value of good
roads and how to make them.
This is no longer a matter for ac-
ademic discussion. 1t is too late
to revive the old claim that the
good roads are being promoted
for the benefit of autoists. The
farmer is now ready to admit
thatfor every auto that will trav-
ell the good roads there will be a
hundred or more farm wagons
and that while the autoist will |
derive a good deal of pleasure
from speeding over the road the
one who will profit most is the
farmer-in lessened time of go
ing to and from market, in big
ger loads and in wear and tear
on live stock and vehicles.
What we want to strive for,
now that the principle of good
roads is accepted, is uniformity
and scientific methods in place
of the patch work system that
marks the road working in the
state, where every road overseer
has a plan and a method of his
own and follows it regardless of /
the method of the man in charge
in the contiguous districts.
The state has now a depart
ment of good roads and the SER
vices of it's experts and engin-
eering talent are at the DISPOSE
ton of the people. 1t would be |
well if general plans for the con-
struction of roads under varying
conditions could be adopted and |
enforced. 1t is conceded, of |
course, that different methods
must be adopted for bottom roads
and hill roads, for clay and for
rock surfaces, but these things
the department of roads is able |
to cope with and lay out plans to |
fit every particular case.-Fort |

BEAUTIFUL DARING

AS Much At Home On a Horse

In no part of the habitable
globe are there better lady riders
than can be found in the west.
A girl must be able to ride if she
wants to visit her neighbors Of
ten. And how some Of these
young creatures can manage
horse! What pictures Of beauty,
daring and health they are as
they come dashing along at full
speed, playing games, chasing
each other or racing just for fun
Indeed, horseback riding is q
common and easy pastime to a
"wild western girl" Just as troll
ley riding is to city girl.
The Western girl goes every
where on horseback. She can
join set of equine quadrilles or
Virginia reel and gallop twenty
miles on an errand without feel
ing the slightest fatigue. She
keeps Company" goes to school,
visits her next door neighbor"
(maybe fifteen miles away all
on the back of her favorite pony.
Yes, the Western girl can GER
tainly ride, as you will readily
perceive when you witness the

them in the Hippodrome Races;
note their skill and fearlessness,

pleasures and enjoyment of the

ringing laughter.
There are many things worth
seeing with this splendid attrac-
ton, but not oneprettier or more
likely to be gratifying after

response to a request from Gen

was ordered to Ell Paso, Texas,
to protect the border city pend.
ing the settlement of affairs

Reports that bands of Federals were

enough troops there to defend FL Paso
properly.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, in g radio

Harry Orburn. just released from
the Atlanta Federal Prison after
serving nineteen months and six days
Of a two-year sentence, uttered this
explanation at the conclusion OF his
interview with The Georgian, in which
he lnercilessly pictured conditions at
the penitentiary as brutal and re-
voting and the administration as
woefully inefficient.
One convict went raving mad from
the treatment he had received at
the hands of a guard, and others
had been cruelty beaten. Orburn said

erred.

stories of kindly treatment of the
prisoners.

Men have been dubbed over the
head by guards simply because they
said they couldn't eat the horrible
food that was set before them. With
my own eyes l have seen that.
"a Niger, because he got in a
petty row with another convict, was
stretched stiff by a blow from one on
