ROAD Law SPONSORS
SUMMON COHORTS TO
PREVENT CRITICISM
Members Of Commission Are
Alarmed Over Feeling OF
County Supervisors.

Cedar Rapids, Ia. Aug 19.--If the
county supervisors of Iowa declare
themselves in their resolutions as they
talk around the hotel Hobbies the present
highway law stands a fine chance of
peing denounced as an expensive and
lneffectual vehicle for road improves
ment. Many of the supervisors openly
charge that the members of the high
way commission are seeking to intimi-
date county officers and to build UP a
Vicious political machine. worse than
anything previously known in the his
Tory OF the state 1t is claimed that
administration work alone for road
work in Iowa has been increased $780,
900 year under the new system and
that this money could be used to much
better advantage in actual road build
ing than in paying salaries of commits
sloners and engineers
Members of the Polk and story
county delegations are making stren-
uons efforts to smother any resolutions
among strong majority of the super
visors and is quite likely to break forth
INTO an expression.
II developed today that members of
the Highway commission summoned a
number of supervisor friends to the
down the lid. Several of these super
Nlsors admit that they had no inten-
ton of attending the session until re-
ceiNinS the special summons from the
commission.
In order to appease the ire of the
radical opponents of the law the com
mission delegates are conceding that
some changes are needed in the sys-
tenn and they urge that the resolution
ONLY ask for amendments and improve
ments rather than the absolute repeal of
the measure The official coterie does
not care so much what is done to the
law so that the changes inaugurated
do not reduce the number of jobs
The session of supervisors opened
here Yesterday and will conclude
Thursday evening"

mer has been employed at the Inn, on

Grievance Of suffraqism.

One of the grievances of suffragists
is the inferior position occupied by
women as parents. A couple of days
ago woman, whose husband had, SO
far as she knew. gone down in the
Empress of Ireland. applied to the
Willesden magistrates for vaccina-
ton exemption for her infant son. She
was informed from the bench that the
exemption order could not be granted
until the fathers death was legally
proved, as the law did not recognize
her as the parent of the child" If
the law does not enable woman to
rank as the parent of her children it
must be "hass" of the most asinine
type.-London Globe.

English Strawberries.

Strawberries have been known in
England from the earliest times, but
the luscious berries now grown there
are quite modern variety. Until the
fifteenth century none but wild ber-
ries were obtainable, and even the
good Strawberries which according
to Shakespeare, grew In the Bishop Of
Ely's Holborn garden, can have been
only transplanted "wildings" In the
eighteenth century an improved va
riety was cultivated, known as the
tHautboy," which greatly pleased the
taste Of Doctor Johnson; but the mod

President Porfirio Diaz, who ruled
over Mexico for more than a quarter
of century as an absolute dictator,
believed that only such iron rule could
bring peace and progress to the half
civilized millions of that country
Several years ago, when his power
was still unbroken, an American, who
was on intimate terms with him, ven
tured to suggest that the Mexicans
were now prepared for more liberal
form of government, and limited that
his rule was too severe.
The stern old man stiffened his
gaunt figure, and ran his fingers
through his locks. now white with
years.
When these SHOWS melt" he said,
prophetically, the mud will be deep
in Mexico! "-Youth's Companion.

A Word For The Boy.

A boy at fifteen years of age is,
in our opinion, at the most impor.
tant period of his life. He 10 at
fork of the road. What be useds
moro than anything else is sympa-
thy and advice. 1t would be
strange, if boys did not build cas-
ties in Spain at that age. and what
they need is the suggestion OF
some one who is himself success
in life, to guide them. Most poo
pie think that boys do not need
either sympathy or advice. 1t is
a great mistake. They need it as
much US the girls. We have ne
yer known one of them to refuse
to take advice il it were rendered
at tho right time in the right place
and in the right spirit. The mis-
take that most people make in
talking to boys is that they lee
turs them in season and out, per-
secute them with all sorts of fool
ith suggestions, and expect more
from a man. II we had any word
of counsel to give it would be:
Don't nag him. Don't psrsecute
him if done wrong. Don't laugh
at him if hs has failed, perhaps in
some over.ambitious boyis b
schemes. Don't crush him. Do
not break his spirit, give the boy
q chance. Show him his mistake.
and then show him what he should
do. When you crush boys spir-
it you have in all probability he
will blossom into a first class dude.
