THE GOOD ROADS CRUSADE.

The good roads crusade into the ter

energy and zeal displayed by the mis-
sionaries from both ends of the route

interest and some apathy were found.

TO prevent the former from forming
the Improvement of the highway be-
tween south Bend and the state cap
ital and the making of an important
lateral TO the great Lincoln road,
which is TO span the continent.
Champions OF the cause of good
roads were encouraged by the events
OF the day and the evidences of the
good roads spirit they found to believe
that this lateral will be built in the
near future and that it will act as a
stimulus on the people OF the territory
through which il passes. The slogan
of these champions is every road a
good road No valid excuse for a poor
road exists in the state OF Indiana.
The people OF this state have the
mean and the material To make roads
which cannot be eXcelled in the coun-
try for smoothness and durability.
Good roads have now become a
matter Of state pride. other states

LIQUOR AND GASOLINE


That is the explanation of 80 per
cent Of the automobile mishaps that
have occurred in the vicinity of Grand
Rapids during the past year. and the
drunken automobile driver has come
to be one Of the gravest perils facing
the public.
II has been wisely stated that whis-
ky and gasoline will not mix. No
man who has been drinking should be
allowed at the steering wheel Of an
automobile for the moment he takes
charge of a car he is a menace to
pedestrians. to other automobile driv-
ers and 10 the passengers in his own
car.
It requires a cool head and a steady
nerve TO handle an automobile under
the most suspicious circumstances
only a slight error in judgment is re-
quired TO work havoc TO life and prop
erty. Some of the serious accidents
around Grand Rapids have happened
when the drivers have been perfectly
sober, but these have been in the MIN
ority. When a sober man has dlrhcuI-
" in avoiding accidents. a drunken
mans power 10 do so is reduced 70
zero. When a drunken man does re-
turn home safely with an automobile
il is through good fortune and not
good driving. That he has not met
with an accident more or less serious
is merely a matter Of luck.
A sober driver cannot do much IN
the road when he is approached by a
car driven by a drunken man. All
that he can do is TO pull up at the
side as far as possible and pray that
there will not be a collision.
The time has come in Grand Rapids
for the inauguration OF a movement TO
wipe out this evil. There are too
many drunk" parties circulating
around this city in automobiles at
night II they only endangered them
selves. il would not be so bad. but
they imperil everyone whe happens 10

MIR. BoRDEN,s WORK.

Whether farmer. gardener. mechan-
ic. lawyer, physician OF merchant one
cannot read the annual report OF the
county agricultural agent. John S.
Bordner. without feeling the impulse
which has been given 10 soil prOduc-
tion by the educational campaign now
in progress.
IL was not possible for Mr.. Bordner
10 tabulate the results Of his work.
but the tangible facts are given in
that form and they Enthusiastically
carry the suggestion OF the intangible.
From what the county agent has been
able to present in figures it is not diff
ficult 10 comprehend what has been
accomplished in ways which cannot
be so presented and the results must
be not only gratifying to Mr.. Bord-
ner but encouraging and inspiring to
the farming and gardening com
munity
Summarizing the statistics the re-
port for the year ending June 90
shows that III farmers meetings
were held with total attendance Of
1905. that 1,211 people called at the
office OF the county agent TO consult
him on agricultural and Horticultural
subjects that the county agent visited
and advised on the operation Of 25s
farms. and that in the performance of
his duty Mr.. Bordner travelled 5.416
miles in the county
AS a result IS community centers
and local organizations for mutual
benefit have been formed. the county
farm has been made an experiment
station and wide range OF expert
ments have been conducted there and
on other farms in the county. The
county agent has supervised the
teaching OF agriculture in the country
schools and established a literary
bureau which gives the farmers OF the
county convenient access TO books and
pamphlets published by the federal
department OF agriculture and Purdue
university.
The interest aroused by Mr. Bord-
fer's work is among the most import
ant and significant of the results. 1t
is evidence that the county agent is
not sowing his seed on stony ground.
II is taking root in a soil well ferti-
lized by publicity and springing up in
healthy hardy plants

CORRECTING PRISON ABUSES.

OORRECI1NG PRISON ABUSES.
There seems good reason to think
that the commissioner of correction
has the situation we'll in hand on
BlackwelPs Island and that while
there may be some after echoes of the
unrest" which for a few days swept
over the prison it is only question of
short time until the orderly routine
of prison life will be resumed for
good. 1t is even probable that the
brief outbreak will have an ultimate
good effect by revealing certain prison
abuses and leading to their correction
which is essentially the commits
sioner's business.
The prompt, effective dealing with
the drug abuses in the prison which
the commissioner has tc her credit is
without doubt one of the underlying
reasons for the unrest" The recently
published statement of the former
warden of Sing Sing help to give some
idea Of how far these abuses have in
vaded our prisons. Those who are
familiar with drug habitues know
that when deprived of their wonted
solace there is almost nothing that
they will not do TO secure it, nothing
that they will stop at if there is the
slightest hope of blocking their de-
privation The commissioner OF cor
rection merits the hearty sympathy of
all the forces of the community that
make for good in her efforts at reform
and for her success so far. The pres
ent disturbances are. after all, only
what might be expected to follow any
attempt at real reform. Miss Davis
should be made TO feel that she has
the good will of all law abiding citi-
Zens in her effort TO make prisons

BY FRED c. KELLY.
M FIRED O KELLY.

WASHINGTON. July 2O.-It may
be an intimate item for public discus
sion. but one cannot refrain from
stating at this juncture that for a
great many years Vice Pres. Marshall
has had a prejudice against wearing
any form OF sock supporter. He in
siSts that when one considers the
small amount of a sock that extends
above the shoe tops, the wearing of
a formal support for the sock is per-
ilously close TO putting on airs. How
ever. when he became governor Of
Indiana, friends prevailed upon him
that he owed il to himself and his
position TO take some action looking
10 the proper support of his socks.
Rather than hurt anybodys feelings
he gave in 10 the extent of making
a slight compromise. That is. he got
himself a pair of safety pins and used
them TO keep up his socks. BY the
use OF those hOmely instruments he
felt that he was still safe from being
a dude one Of his friends was not
satisfied even then and bought Mar
shall a pair of patent sock uphOlders.
III tell YOU what I'll do" said
Marshall. iii keep these and if
ever get TO be president I'll wear
them.
When he became vice president
Marshall was reminded OF his
promise.
Nothing was said about the vice
presidency" remarked Marshall. but
to be perfectly fair in the matter. I'll
wear one OF them. If I'm ever presi-
dent I'll put on the other one"
And that is the reason the vice
president today wears a regular
fastener on his right sock. but not
on his left one.
