Judge B. j. Bethurum, of Somer-
set, was awarded $4,000 damages
against ]. w. Simpson, editor of the
Monticello Outlook, last week for a
ibelous article about the judge pub
lished by Simpson last February.
The Somerset News says that Simp-
son confessed to the charge, so that
the Judge must have had the dead
wood" on him as the old saying is.
We have not the pleasure of Simp-
sons acquaintance but do know that
there is not a fairer, squarer man
anywhere than Judge Bethurum.
Just what Simpson said about him
has escaped our memory but it must
have been a case in which there
were no mitigating circumstances

s25o,ooo,ooo FOR HIGHWAYS.
This Huge Sum Was Spent In 1914 For
Roads In United States.

H0oo8 IN OUuG0o 0S4G00s
Very nearly a quarter Of billion
dollars were spent in highway con-
struction and maintenance In the Unit
ed States during the year 1914, as
shown by statistics issued by the Office
Of public roads and rural engineering.
One-fifth Of the work was done under
the state aid system, the various state
highway departments paying $A,220.-
600 and the counties and townships
$25.220OO0. State aid laws are in ef-
feet in forty-four states, New Jersey
having instituted the system in 1891
and Tennessee and Georgia being
among the last to adopt it.
Thirteen states spent $25. 900
during the year in the construction
and maintenance of state roads solely
at their own expense, making a total
Of almost $50,OOO.OOO paid directly out
Of state funds. One-third as much
($12, 100000 was spent for repairs and
maintenance as was spent for new
construction ($35.5O0OOO). This shows
the enormous loss resulting from the
building Of types Of roads whose sur
faces are not durable under present
traffic conditions. Six eastern states
paid two-thirds as much out Of the
state treasury for maintenance as for
new construction.

Romance Of . Railway.

The Uganda railway possesses his:
tory unrivaled for romance. Not only
does It run through wild jungle, trav-
erse lofty viaducts thrown across deep
gorges and climb mountain passes to Q
height Of $500 feet, but in its early
days It received far too many unwel-
come attentions from the natives. It
was found that coils Of telegraph wire
became quite the rage in feminine
fashions, while in the hands Of sturdy
warriors bolts and nuts became 1of.
midable weapons. The foods Of the
rainy season are now the only unto.
ward occurrences that break tho crii,
nary routine Of the line. London

Kansas City Banker Points Out Money
Value Of Coed Roads,

kansas City Banker Points Out Money
Value Of Coed Roads.
Kansas and Missouri are very active
in building good highways-"rock
roads," as they are called In that coun-a
try. where limestone is the handiest ma
terial. One Of the good roads boosters
is w. 8. Webb, Kansas City banker,
and he puts year round highways In
terms Of banking.
1--WE bankers will lend $40 to $25 an
acre more on farm situated on rock
road," he says. Bankers in this neigh
b0rhood are keen judges Of farm val
ues. Most Of them have farms as
places for rest and play. Few bankers
are good farmers when it comes to
making actual profits on crops, but
their farming pays handsomely In
health and in understanding of the
problems confronting farmers. with
whom we do much of our business.
"The first thing the banker does when
you approach him for loan on farm
property is to determine the selling
value Of the farm. He will lend you
half the selling value, and he arrives
at the selling value by ascertaining
three things:
"First-The soil, its character, con-
dition and producing capacity, for
fertile farm in good. tilth will grow
crops, no matter where located or what
the nature Of its improvements.
"Second.-Its location. which means
convenience to markets, schools, stores
and other factors that increase value.
Here is where the kind of road running
past the farm plays big part.
"Third.-Buildings and improvements
"These are all estimated in actual
money. The money estimates are add
ed. The total represents the selling
value of the farm, and the banker will
lend half Of that.
Suppose the land is set down as
worth $40 an acre. II it is located on
rock road over which the owner can
haul crops any month in the year the
banker will add SO an acre for that
item. Probably the buildings will not
come to more than SO an acre, so the
hard road is worth as much as the
buildings in actual money. The total
selling value of that farm is $50 ami
acre, and the banker will lend $50. On
land worth 500 an acre hard road
adds $25."-Country Gentleman.

RELIGION AND PREPARED
NESS.

The spokesman of official religion,
the high dignitaries, the prominent
and influential religious leaders, the
mighty men of the big "sanctuar-
ies," are again playing their tradi-
tional and historical role. They are
again on the side of power, greed, in
trigue, and Vaccination. Their
voices are again heard in favor of
perpetuating injustice and oppres-
sion, simply because the mighty of
the earth so desire it. They are
again allied with the powers that
seek to perpetuate their own
strength by deluding and deceiving
the people. This time they are
speaking not only in the name of
religion but also on behalf of pa
triotism.
From the influential pulpits of the
land resounds the plea for prepared
ness. The walls of scorn are poured
out on the TRAITORS" who are not suf-
fciently impressed by this new slo-
gan, who suspect that it originated
in stock-exchanges, munition fac
tories, and military and naval cliques.
Even Jesus, we are told were he
now here, would join in the chorus
of preparedness. Yes, indeed. Did
he not say, Give unto Caesar that
which is Caesars? We suggest this
to our confreres as very effective
text for preparedness sermons.
1t is the historical role of religions
official spokesman. Thus has re-
ligion always been used by those
in power. What deviltry has not
been perpetrated in thy name, re-
ligion? And yet we wonder that es-
tablished religious institutions and
their representatives have become a
mock and by-word to many sensi-
bic people.

Under new regulations which have
just been issued, the number of
Jewish lawyers in the districts of
Warsaw, wilma and Odessa is not to
exceed Is per cent Of the total, in
the districts of Petrograd 10 per
cent, and in the other districts per
cent. About hundred qualified as
sistant advocates are at once to re-
ceive the rank Of advocates, but no
new appointments Of Jews as advo-
Gates will be made for the present.
Hitherto the Minister Of Justice had
it in his sole power to appoint Jew
ish lawyers, and recommendations
of the Advocates Councils were con-
stantly refused.
