POOR SPELLERs.

A report Just issued by Dean
Briggs Of Harvard University, calls
attention to the incorrect spelling
which is so common at the present
time. Dean Briggs notes that many
great men have been very poor spells
ers, and he finds that nowhere in
American education more defective
than in its failure to teach the cor
rect use of the English language.
There are of course a great many
successful men who are very poor
spoilers. If man has executive
ability, the gift of managing others,
the fact that he spells speech"
with an ca does not hurt much in
his business. Everyone knows what
he means. His underlings dare not
disobey his orders. though they may
smoker at his written memoranda
when safely out of hearing.
In social life even the successful
man will suffer from poor spelling.

TO HAVE GOOD ROADS THEY
SHOULD BE KEPT UP

With majority of the counties in
Florida busy repairing, rebuilding
and making new roads and using all
kinds of material, from sand to Wit
rified brick, 1t is interesting to see
that general interest is being shown
in road building all over the country
Naturally enough many states Of the
Union have improved their roads
long ago, and in some, where there
is solid rock from base, and some
times near enough to be used as the
road bed, the problem is very differ
ent from that In Florida, where sand
Is found a few feet down in almost
every section of the state. But in
the older states and where better
natural conditions prevail for the
making of good roads there is no less
of enthusiasm, and the newspapers
the country over talk of good roads
and urge not only the making of
tine, but the maintenance of good
roads after having secured them.
The Chicago Herald last Sunday told
of the desi knation by the governor
of Illinois of road day, upon which
date all the people in the state were
expected to give their attention to
making or repairing roads. The
Herald lays stress upon the latter
part of the suggestion in this way:
Getting good roads is easy en-
owsh. 1t means in the main just a
willingness to spend the money re-
quired. Keeping good roads is more
difficult, and requires change in
certain habits of the public mind
which have been so prevalent that
some social philosophers have refer
red to them as a peculiar weakness
of the American character. When
We Americans want to reform or
change something We are too prone
to pass a law about it, and then for
get 1t, also forgetting that the best
laws are useless unless consistently
enforced. So in our past efforts for
better roads We have been prone to
put in a pavement and then forget
about keeping it in repair.
The Herald further declares that
millions of dollars have been spent
unnecessarily on rebuilding and re-
construction that need not have
been paid out. Not that the con-
tractors were dishonest. or the roads

THE BARNES AND
ROOSEVELT FIGHT.
Jackson, Mich, Patriot

Jackson, Mich, PatriOt.J
If the presiding judge in the suit
brought by VIM. Barnes, Jr., against
Theodore Roosevelt for libel is COM
PLEASANT and gives those men full
latitude in introducing testimony in
the present trial there will be some
startling revelations about the polit-
ical methods OF New York state.
Each is a fighter, and there has
been first, strong rivalry between
them for political control in New
York state, and second, hatred so
intense that the Joy in defeating the
other overshadows any grief at the
victory of any other party through
their dissension.
Roosevelt accused Barnes of being
in actual partnership with Murphy,
the Democratic state boss-that the
state was run by bipartisan boss
rule, and that vote for one was an
equivalent to a vote for the contin-
uance for the evil conditions then ex-
listing in the state of New York.
This statement at once caused the
commencement of the libel suit by
Barnes.
The disclosures at the trial are
likely to have an effect upon the
political situation in that state, and
from it upon the entire nation. 1t
is not possible to enumerate the in
stances where it would seem as if
there had been a collision between
the two leaders of the two dormi-
nant parties, especially in the legis-
lature, but it was evident in the i'm
parchment of Sulzer, and in the dis
position Of the primary legislation
in that state.
