when later on the excited public opinion

1t would have been understood IL the

country. The Bible prescribcs to the
Israelitcs: The stranger living within

has remained n dead letter to the Euro

foreigners without giving reasons. In
war time II might be alleged that their
spying propensities arc feared and that
the only way to protect oneself against
their treason is to drive them beyond
the frontier. They would have had to
incline themselves without word OF

Automobiles and Roads.

The department of agriculture recently
issued bulletin showing that there were
I2.445. 664 automobiles, the owners of which
maid total license fees of $18,245,713. The
cost of collection was approximately ten per
cent. thus leaving $16,213,387, which was
applied TO the construction and maintenance
of good roads. AS there are 2,375,0OO
miles roads outside the limits of incorpOrat-
ed cities and towns appropriations from au-
tomobile fees would amount to over 81 per
mile. or as the bulletin puts it, to seven
per cent of the cost of construction and
maintenance The bulletin figures indicate
that automobiles are an important financial
factor in the good roads movement.
The automobile has been a large factor IN
creating the demand for good roads. The
bicycle could run along specially constructed
paths where roads were too rough. The
motor car must have full road width and
hard surface, and what was necessary to
motoring was economical for all kinds of
vehicles. Demonstration of economy led to
apportionment of cost which so far appears
to be equitable, all the factors in calculation
being given proper value. This is made ap-
parent by statistics of New York, Pennsy-
vania and California, which appear to have
analysed vehicle transportation most thor
oughly.
When all automobile fines and penalties,
in addition to license fees, are applied to
roads there will be no question as to the
eouitableness of the cost of good roads.

A Billion Dollar Man.
From the Savannah News

Out of Cleveland, Ohio, comes a story of
the discovery of a balance sheet made on the
occasion of the seventy-seventh birthday of
John D. Rockefeller, early in the present
month, which shows that the Rockefeller
fortune has passed the billion-dollar mark.
How much is billion dollars? It is the
value of almost one-fourth of all the foreign
commerce of the United States in the fiscal
year 1914 The Rockefeller fortune shifts
in value not only day by day and hour by
hour but minute by minute. A slight change
in the stock market sends it up or down.
change of a million or so day is nothing
unusual And the giving away of few
millions to this or that philanthropic enter
prise, however important it may be to the
particular enterprise, does not dig a deep
hole in the Rockefeller pocketbook.
All of this fortune has been piled up by a
man who began life poor, fact that leads
to the question of whether the day is past
when poor boys can build up tremendous
fortunes in the United States whether, be-
cause of new laws, because of the passing of
the heyday of development of new territory
and natural resources, millions cannot be
accumulated so rapidly as in the last half
century. Only the future can give trust
worthy answer to that question At any
rate, there is still plenty of opportunity for
poor boys to become wealthy enough to sat
isfy all their normal desires. Whether they
would be happier with billion dollars than
with a hundred millions or only fifty mil
lions remains to be determined.

All Hail!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have with US
this evening another new political party.
The Honorable $50 far as the title IS con-
cerned, at least) William Sulzer has been
nominated by the American party for pres
ident of the United States. The nomination
was pulled off in a secret meeting held in a
room of a Minneapolis hotel. He has ac-
cepted. John NJ. Parker, of New Orleans,
who evidently has no sense of humor, has
declined the partys vice presidential nomi-
nation.
Thus beginneth the new party. You'll re-
member Bill, of course. Bill, who was afore-
time fired as governor of New York, fought
like tiger few days ago for the prohibl-
zionist presidential nomination. They would
not give it to him, upon which he scornfully
announced that he didn't want the burned
thing, anyhow.
Bill will never be president. His fore
head isn't high enough, and it slopes too
much But nobody can say that he hasn't
been candidate for president.

The Happy Man.
From the Burlington Tribune.

The happiest man in the world is the COM
mon everyday chap who makes his own liv-
ing, pays his own bills and has the respect
of his neighbors. He saves a little money
as he goes along, but doesn't try to get a
corner on his coal output, and he is not a
slave to ambition or society. He never
intends to wear out his trousers in the SEN
ate, and when he glides out of bed in the
morning he never wastes any time trying to
pick out the right tint of sox, suspenders
and necktie that will blend with the general
effect.
He only wears high collar when he feels
like it, and when his pet corn begins to
Jump he jerks out his knife and cuts four
inch cash in the side of his shoe, and moth
ing is said about it in the local paper. He
never has to sit up at night to poultice his
conscience. He believes in the doctrine of
live and let live.
When he encounters one of the needy he
doesn't stutter with his pocketbook The
plain plug of man is happy because he is sat
isfied, and he doesn't spend half his time
yearning for something which his salary will
not permit him to buy.
Give us more plain men and the world will
be better.

Because She Loved Him So.
From the Cleveland (ohio) News.

you know l would not say this, Hen
ry," says Helen, eff l did not love you. It's
because | love you so that l am interested
in you. | want you to look nice; want you
to succeed" And under cover of this fine
fanfare of affection she proceeds to hamper,
hector and hobble her poor husband in a
hundred ways.
She criticises his neckties, his collar, his
coat; she points out to him that his neck is
too long, his hair is the wrong color, his
feet are too big, he is bad conversational
ist, he is slow of wit; he let's men run over
him and women take advantage of him; he
smokes too much, and doesn't eat enough
oatmeal, and can't he do something to have
his ears reshaped?
Of course, | wouldn't mention these things
if l didn't care so much" she adds.
He thought he had married sweet little
girl who was going to keep on looking up at
him with her big brown eyes, as she used to
do in their counting days, and it would be
so fine to have this angel adOring him as he
forged forward to wealth and fame.
Then he woke up. He found he had mar
ried personal government that proportion
ed out to him his meat in due season, and
assumed entire charge of him and all his
works.
He had married Miss Special Providence,
and the very hairs of his head were number
ed. She took entire charge, and if it wor-
ried him it worried her a good deal more,
and her pretty forehead was always wrink-
led with her problems of responsibility.
When she couldn't find anything new in
his household deeds to regulate she asked
him about his business, and took upon her
self the burden of seeing to that. 1t was
because she loved him so.
He tried several times to explain that she
need not bother her head so much about
him; it was unnecessary trouble, and he
could probably get along tolerably well if
he was let alone.
Whereupon she cried and agonized over
the fact Enthusiastically looming up before her
that Henry didn't love her any more; he
was firing of her.
So he gave it up, always submitted grace
fully to her suggestions, learned to promise
anything and everything and then do as ne
pleased.
He never got any relief until the children
came. Then she turned her energies to
them, and husband got little rest
She kept after the children until they es
capped to boarding school.
And now she is running woman's club
because she loves it SO, and is so interested,
you know.

A Great Man Has Fallen.

Another immortal has been called. In
his going and in the manner which the pub
lie of the United States receive it there IS
a broad lesson of mans usefulness to man.
Few of US realized the hold which James
Whitcomb Riley had upon the great com
posite heart of the people until the dis
patches told US he would sing no more songs
A man need not be in the forefront of
business or politics to claim or win affection
James Whitcomb Riley knew little of the
intricacies of either. He was poet who put
into rhymic verbiage a deep, enveloping phi
losophy of life. Judging by the pleasure he
bestowed no man can claim a higher place
than he.
If there are those who shall miss him
more than others it will be the children, who
held so warm place in his heart of gold.
James Whitcomb Riley scattered sunshine,
and died in a halo of its warm beams. Than
this there can be no greater eulogy.

To Avoid Appendicitis.

Specialists at John Hopkins University
have joined the Keep on Smiling" cult.
Worry, and you will get pain in the side" y
they say. Appendicitis is the medical term
for one kind of pain in the side These
thoughtful and inquiring doctors, indeed,
have reached the conclusion that mental de-
preston is one of the most frequent causes
of appendicitis, since worry and faulty mas
tication usually blend, and boiling ones food
leads directly to disorder in the appendix.
So they recommend smiling, and similar
light-minded diversions.
The public in general welcomes such adj
monitions For the public does not partic-
ularly delight in going to the hospital to
permit a surgeon to explore and readjust its
interior appurtenances or fixtures Almost
every one would prefer smiling away appen-
dicitis to being tinkered with and whitfield
by busy surgeon
One suspects there is great deal of good
sense in the John Hopkins doctors free and
wholesome advice.
