Something over 200 years ago Their,

highway. the old York road. he
tween New York and Philadelphia.
The construction of this famous road
In I'LL was an example that led the
energetic colonists mt other points
along the Atlantic scaboard to make
similar roads where there were no wal
ter routes. For the most part these
roads were built by chartered compa-
MES and We're called turnpikes or toll
roads. Pennsylvania. Connecticut and
New Jersey had many roads OF this
kind.
The first macadamized road in this
country was constructed in 1902 be-
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster. In
1911 there were said to be 1900 miles
of chartered turnpikes in New Eng
land and New York. During the next
twenty years the government expend-
ed many millions of dollars In con-
structing great highways, but the pam
ic of 1887 and the building of rail
ways and canals put an end to that
branch of the government work.

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mereial age and the telegraph and tel
ephepe systems of this nation crown
the Industrial achievements OF the
whole world. These twin messengers
Of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the In

across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, In its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
Aarth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
In development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization OF its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-inyention and organ

THIRTY-ONE CARS OF STOCK
SHIPPED Tuesday.

There were twenty-five carloads of
stock shipped out Tuesday over the
Camas Prairie line, and six cars over
the Clearwater branch, covering a
total value of $4,000, at the present
off price of from to 515 cents for
hogs. The Lewiston Tribune in COM
ment on the great stock wealth of this
section says:
Some people may have thought that
the Northwest Livestock association
show in Lewiston the first week of the
month, with it's attendant sales of cat
tie and hogs in large numbers, had
exhausted the immediate market sup
ply. Those that did think thus were
mistaken. if correct judgment can be
based on present shipments Of stock
from this country.
1t can hardly be said that a sec
ton of country is unprosperous that
from this source alone has a weekly
income of $4,000. This is probably
as small a week as will be experience
ed the entire year.

STATE MILITARY MEN HERE TO
INSPECT NEW COMPANY.

Adjutant General p. HI. Crow and
Lieut.. Max b. CARRIER arrived in the
city this Thursday evening from
Boise for the purpose of inspecting the
new company of national guard recent
ly formed at this place. The prevail
ing epidemic of la grippe which has
been running rampant over the country,
has not found the brave soldier boys"
imune to its attacks, consequently
they probably will not be in the very
best condition for personal inspection.
However, Captain Kading feels con-
fident that out of the So members
mustered in, there will be a sufficient
number out for inspection to make a
fair showing, anyway.
The two visiting military men are
in consultation tonight with the COM
pany officers, who are outlining their
report and tomorrow they will begin
the work of inspection or armory and
paraphernalia, and in the evening will
review the members of the company.

IDAHO COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
STOCK

After reproducing the Globes ar.

Petitioners fine herd of Herefords,
purchased from the George Chandler
national championship herd, of Baker
City, Ore, the Cottonwood Chronicle
of last week says:
In addition to the above we may
say that August Schroeder, of Cotton
wood, who has twice won first prize
on his carload of fat steers exhibited
at the Northwest Livestock show In
Lewiston, has also some of the best
blood in the Hereford line in the en-
tire west. Mr.. Schroeder secured his
foundation herd from the famous
Splawn herd at North Yakima, which
for years won prizes all over the north
west, and later added to it with some
of the best blood to be secured in the
central states until at present he has
stock that will rank in blood lines
and quality with the best in the coun-
try.
Mel Hastings, of the Winona and
Kamiah sections also has a fine
bunch of registered Herefords, while
single animals have been secured by
many Of the stockmen of this county,
In time 1t may be that Idaho county
will come to be looked on as the Here
ford country of the northwest where
the finest breeding stock i'll the coun,

OUR EDUCATIONAL SHORTCOM-
INGS AND TAFT CUFF.

A young man may or may not have
learned to think for himself when he
gets through with his schooling. The
chances are somewhat against him.
School days are days of examining
his head with facts, figures, and fan
cies. When he enters the great uni
versity Of life he has to take up a
brand new course, one with which he
Is quite unfamiliar.
William Howard Taft in a recent
address suggested Federal control of
public schools. Not in so many words,
but that was the purport of what he
said. He expressed the common dis
satisfaction with American education
and charged the system with nearly
every shortening in the category.
Primary education he set down as
shallow, higher education as made
quate and improperly directed. There
Is a lack of unity In method, lack of
depth and a lack Of adjustment to
the needs Of American life which Mr..
Taft would have experts remedy Su-
pervision and comparison of schools
is suggestion he makes-that and
a great educational bureau located at
Washington.
The remedy might prove an effect
I've one. But before turning all
functions over to the Federal govern
ment 1t might be advantageous to do
away with the states altogether. How
ever, Mr.. Taft will find that few In
dorse the idea of federalized educa-
ton, and 1t is well that he puts forth
the idea In the form of a mere sugges-
ton. There are many who will echo
his criticism of educational methods.
The trouble is that no two educators
are able to agree upon just how need
ed reform shall be effected.
1t Is reasonable to assume that the
fault Is one of the transitional period
in which we continue to live The
American people are on their way.
They have not yet arrived. This ac-
counts for the defects and inadequa-
cies which may be discovered in near
ly every particular from literature
to preparedness. These deficiencies
are heightened by an intense individ-
ualistic democracy which has not yet
fully adjusted itself to our needs and
which is peculiarly destructive of dis
cipline. 1t is not too much to say
that discipline has vanished from the
schools. Far from applying knowl-
edge with hickory stick, we have
gone to the other extreme of coaXing
cajoaling and humoring. There are
educators who favor excusing children
from tasks which are obnoxious and
distasteful to them. Parents join in
this pampering.
Naturally any advances and i'm
provements in the standards of edu-
cation must find origin in the ac-
tivity and growth of the public mind
All activities merely reflect the char.
acter of a people. Experiment and
local initiative are the two forces
which give the greatest promise OF
success. Improvement Of educational
methods must come as a growth rath-
er than as revival melting, innova.

vailing epidemic of lagrippe, to grant
two weeks vacation, following the
dismissal of school on Tuesday eve
ming. In the meantime the school
building will be thoroughly fumigated
and aired. and preparations be made
to begin school in earnest at the end
of the two weeks vacation.
The question of additional outside
fire escapes, which was up for dis
cussion, was laid over for considera-
ton at some future date.
The matter of the occupancy OF the
old school building on Main street by
the newly organized militia company
was under favorable consideration, but
owing to lack of detailed information,
action was deferred until full infor-
nation could be presented by a rep
resentative of the company.
