BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD
Among Many other Things II Attracts
Investors Looking for Advan-
taqeous Locations.

A long stretch Of improved road Is
one of the best advertisements state
can have II attracts class of tour
ists who are able Snd willing 70 pay
for entertainment. 1t brings investors
who are looking for advantageous To-
cations. 1t includes agricultural inves-
tigation and consequent immigration
and investment, not only along the line
of the road, but in other accessible
sections. 1t changes, by the shecy
force OF publicity, backward localities
into progressive ones; enhances val
ues, and brings into general notice re-
sources which had only been known
locally; or. II known. not appreciated,
Tire advantages which such stretches
of main roads cause to accrue are ad-
vantages which affect the entire state,
as well as the localities themselves.
II should, therefore. be assumed as a
principle that such main roads should
he built, in whole or In part, by the
state; that their management and
maintenance should be in the hands
OF the state authorities.

Louisville, Ky-(Special)-In re-
sponse to the expressed wishes
Of many hundred voters throughout
the state, General Bennett H Young
to-day made public the platform upon
which he rests his candidacy for the
Short Term in the United States Sen
ate, to cover the ninety days, running
from November 18TH, 1914. to March
ist, 1918. General Young has for more
than forty-tyo years been Identified
with the Democratic party In Ken
lucky. Returning after the war, In
1865, and settling in Louisville, KY,
he took up the practice Of law, where
he quickly took front rank among the
foremost members Of the bar. From
that das to the present time he has
been a consistent. earnest worker for
Democratic success, and never failed
to help in any campaign by contribu.
ton or speeches.
Service in Constitutional Convention.
His first public service, and the only
elective Office that he has ever held,
was as a member of the Constitutional
Convention in 1880.
A. Chairr1cn of the Municipal Com.
mittee he w:s largely Instrumental IL
framing the Constitution which has
done SO much to protect the people OF
Kentucky. After the Constitutional
Convention he became one of the lead
ers in explaining and advocating the
adoption cf the new Constitution by
the people CT Kentucky, who respond

favor OF the new instrument. At thf

improved. while in the latter group OF
states there are only ~ rer cent Of
the roads improved.
That improved roads would benefit
our country school system there would
seem to be no doubt. Improved roads
make 1t possible to consolidate or CEN
tralize the schools and to establish
graded schools in the rural districts.
Such schools centrally located will ac-
commodate all Of the children within a
radius of from fou- to five miles. In
many communities having the advan-
tage Of improved roads commodious
buildings have been provided, more
competent teachers have been en-
ployed, and modern facilities for teach
ing have been supplied at a minimum
cost. For instance. since the improve
ment of the main highways In Durham
county. North Carolina, the number of
school houses has been reduced from
65 to AZ, Of which IL are graded and
have two or more rooms and employ
two or more teachers.
There are at the present time about
two thousand consolidated rural
schools In the United States. 1t ap-
pears that Massachusetts. Ohio and
Indiana have made the greatest prog
ress along these lines. and 1t is rather
significant to note that in these states
about one-third of the roads have been
improved. According to statistics Of
the agricultural department there was
expended in 1899, Zig in Massachu-
sets for the conveyance OF pupils to
consolidated schools, but In 1908 the
expenditure for this purpose amounted
to $292,213. In Indiana the expendi-
ture for this purpose in 1904 amounted
to $4,000. while in 1908. $290,0o0 was
expended. This expenditure for trans
portatiop reflects, in general way,
the extent and progress OF this new
| educational movement. 1t must not be
| understood that this Is an additional
burden, as the expenditure thus made
| is saved in other directions.

While 1t is true that various factors

AS IT STANDS TODAY
Omcial Report on the Filming Of Ger
man Ships by Funston.

Washington. June 1.-Secretary
Garrison made an official statement
today of the status Of the cases Of the
German ships Ypiranga and Bavaria,
which landed munitions of war for
Huerta at Puerta Mexico and were
fined more than one million pesos by
American officials at Vera Cruz. Cen
eral Funston reported the ships
agents had arranged bonds. The sec
retary's statement follows:
THE customs and port officials
fined the Hamburg-American liner
Bavaria 1865 pesos for having dis
charged a large portion of her cargo,
consigned to Vera Cruz, at another
port, before arriving at the port of
Vera Cruz and for correcting her
manifest after arrival in the port of
Vera Cruz.
"A similar fine has been imposed
upon the Ypiranga, amounting to
894,93O pesos, for failure to correct
invoices accordingly and discharging
her cargo at a point other than that
to which consigned. General Funston
states that the officials in question
had no option under the Mexican law
and had to assess the fines in the sum
named. No appeal has been taken
on behalf of the vessels and the pre-
sumption is that IL any further pro-
ceedings are to be had representa-
tions will be made to our state de-
partment'

Findlay. Ohio. June Probate Judge

davit charging Mrs. Emma Thrappe

lief that the II year old girl who is

infant and she adopted the little one.
She says she was in Chicago for time
before coming here and has a brother

ed with the anti-saloon league. She
says she has been selling toilet arti-

OSBORNE 4 WINNER.
High School Honors for Team That
Defeated GlascO,

Osborne. Kan, June 1.-The o.
borne high school baseball team was
rendered a great reception when it re-
turned from Glasco, where 1t has won
| the state championship from the team
| of that place. 1t was nearly midnight,
but Is automobiles and the band met
the returning champions ten miles
from town and they were escorted
! home with all ho1Ors. The stars Of
the team were carried through the
and the demonstration lasted for two
hours. Osborne was forced into the
tournament and was considered q joke
up to the time of play ball." The first
game resulted in score of 3 to O..
Glasco had in it's crack pitcher. Nc
Cullough. who goes to the salina state
League team. The first game was
rather close, Osborne winning 3 to o..
Mccullough was hammered hard, but
luck broke his way and the score was
held down. Nelson. for Osborne. had
" orids of smoke and the GlasCC bat
tiers could do nothing with him.
.ne second game resulted in vic
tory for GlaScO, to 1. OsbOrnes
second pitcher. Frank Hatfield. was
unlucky and t-leis wild. Osborne OBJ
pitcher AMI It vas deserved WIN.
Interest was at fever heat for the
third game. Mccullough, the pitching
marvel of Glasco. was hammered I'M
mercifully and had to give way. Nell
son for Osborne still had his terrific
speed and Glasco was helpless. Not
until the eighth inning could they get
a man across the plate, and then only
when the game had become a farce.
Osborne scored IL times with ease
and Glasco counted twice. Final
score: Osborne IL, Glasco 2. Immense
crowds witnessed the games, the re-
ceipts being almost $500. So superior
was the Osborne teams work on the
final game that the opinion generally
prevailed that Glasco was allowed to
win on the second day to increase the
gate receipts. The Osborne team
stoutly denies this charge. Efforts
are now being arranged for a tourna-
ment between the high school teams
of Lawrence and Osborne. Osborne
will put up sufficient guarantee for
the cOnteSt.-W.

THEY BURN OLD CHURCH


Henley, June 1.-The arson squad
of suffragettes today destroyed the
historic parish church of st. Mary's.
Wargrave on the Thames. All that
remains of the church which was
built in 1888 is a portion of the tower
and scorched walls.
Two women strangers were seen in
the neighborhood early today. Just
inside the ruins the firemen found a
hammer and a heap of suffrage liter
ature with a placard:
stop prosecuting women"
The only property saved was an
ancient register and q few church or
naments. These were rescued by the
vicar. the Rev. Basil s. Batty. who
rushed through the flames to get
them.
The church contained many price,
less treasures including some bells,
four centuries old, which melted in
the flames and q monument to Thorn

ton.
Windsor, June IA fire which the po-
lice say was started by suffragettes to-
day destroyed a mansion near here.
