FEW POSTCARDS IN NEW YORK

Spending a nickel for one, two or three postcards carries a certain re- sponsibility of selection. The publishers are likely to go on issuing the kind their customers buy most largely or demand most vociferously. New York produces 200 million cards d year. ac- cOrding to a statement made at a re- ceptiOn of the Women Painters and Sculptors. This organization is engag- ing in campaign to improve the quail ity of the cards
 Something is wrong when artistic local souvenir cards are harder to find in New York City than in hundreds of little towns which have one or two small claims to attention. The blame lies not chiefly at the door of the art ists; it must be divided between the publishers and public Mrs R. F.

The ShackIeford Good Roads Bill

The Shackleiord good roads bill carrying propriation of $25.OOO.OOO for the improvement of roads which the United states mails are car ried and delivered has passed the house of repre- sentatives very quickly. it was introduced only last month. It is feared though, that it's passage in the senate will not be easy. It is not strange though that the house has acted promptly, for MT Shackleford has been sowing good roads seed there for several years He has been the chief representative in congress of of the schools of thought the of good roads building.
 He has advocated the local improvement of roads as opposed to the construction of trunk lines It be understood though that the representa- tive from Missouri favors the construction of roads that start nowhere and end nowhere He believes that network of roads should be built which will primarily benefit the community, majority of whose residents do not range outside of their neigh borhood. over such system of roads county seats and postoffices would be easily accessible the people of rural communities These ''foci" of good roads might be so connected that trunk lines of in terstate good roads could be easily constructed through them.
 Though the Shackleford bill carries appro pration s25oOOOOO it really proposes the expend ture of as much as $1OO,OO0OOo for good roads. It provides that when the people of district shall have raised sum of much $1O,OOO for the improvement of the mail roads within district and the county and the state within which this district is situated shall have raised like amount, the fed eral government shall be authorized to set aside a fund to be annually provided by congress for this purpose. a similar amount for the improvement of the roads within that district The bill also pro- vdes that the expenditure of all the money raised shall be under the direction of the federal govern ment whose experts shall supervise the improve mcnt construction of the roads.
 Naturally there is some opposition to the bill by representatives of large cities, most of which already surrounded by good roads within radius of several miles Likewise, representatives from con- gressional districts where good roads have already been constructed might not be expected to support the bill with great enthusiasm. We believe though that opposition bill short sighted the opposition. it took long to break down. to the proposition to grant federal aid in the reca- nation of the arid lands of the west.

It Is Here That Rights of Contestants Over Nalu- able Property in Cuba Is to Be Fought Out-Three Suits Started.

N. $. Sleeves, formerly an attorney of Phoenix, now of Williams, is in the city in connection with the litigation | over the Federal Plantations company of Cuba, though the corporation was organized under the laws of Arizona in 1902. Mir. Sleeves represents Clarence | H. Mackay and w. x. Cook of New York. There are three suits pending 1 in the courts of this state. The first was instituted on the part of the state | at the relation of Claus Spreckels, the l sugar magnate and president of the | company, praying for a dissolution of
 the corporation on two grounds: First,
 that for a period of five years it has been inactive, and, second, that for
 six months after the adoption of the l constitution it had not begun work in 1 %ooG faith.
 | President Spreckels also began 1 suit in the superior court of COchise | county for the appointment of a re- ceiver for the company. That was tried ! last Weel; and the receiVership was de- nied. MT. Sleeves has just returned l from Tombstone. On the return of l Mir. Sleeves, he will institute manda- mus proceedings in the name of Mack ay and Cook against Sprecllels to com l pei him to call a meeting of the stock | holders of the company, none having
 been held within the last thirteen years.
 l Mr. Sleeves today will file d brief
 or demurrer in Judge Lyman's division | of the superior court, and later, if the 1 demurrer be not sustained, he will re- turn and file answer.
 | The property of the Federal Planta- tions company consists of 10000 acres of land acquired in Cuba by Messrs. | Mackay and Cook soon after the close
 of the war with Spain. They paid $ll0,000 for the land. Though it had not been in cultivation, it was believed i to be good sugarcane land and Mr I Spreckels was interested. A stock com pany having been formed, he took q | large block of the stock and became president of the corporation. The de-
 velopment of the land as sugarcane , growing land was left to MT Spreckels,
 but for one reason or another he did not undertake the development But, having two directors of the board of five with him, he has controlled the
 property, leasing it from year to year.
 Twice he has desired to sell the prop
 erty, but Messrs. Mackay and Cook
 objected and it was for that reason
 that action was begun for the dissolu-
 ton of the corporation.

Such a commission the president has in mind would be in nowise different from the old Taft tariff commission with power enforce whatever usefulness it might have.

 He led the Washington government into the posi- ton of lending it's moral support to his bandit friend But for the series of victories won by Gen eral Obregon the Villa troops last summer and fall. there is little doubt that Washington would have willingly granted to Villa the recognition that was later reluctantly accorded Carranza.
