soon be on the Wisconsin in a fight as

Good Roads and Land Values.
OMAHA. March 1s.-To the Editor OF

things with respect to good roads. Good
roads cut the distance between communi-
ties. Therefore they are socially and H.
nancially a benefit They entice peopls

The financial benefits OF good roads go
first to the owners of the land. Lands
near them increase in valae. Increased
values mean higher rents. Some folks
think that II taxes on land are low rents

For more instance. Omaha paid up

who exploited those lots sell them for

The Hughes sentiment over the state

for success look brighter every day,
according to J. H. Gipson, chairman Of

The following excerpts were taken
from some of them on file with him:

we considered Mr.. Wilson very famor-
ably for a while, we have now decid-
ed to vote for Judge Hughes.
L. e. Bennett, Goodnight answer
to your request for my reasons for
supporting Hughes and Fairbanks for
president and vice president, will state
briefly that while favored the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt for president and
for uniting all of the Republican
forces under the Roosevelt banner as
Republican nominee, but was not in
favor of separate ticket, even with
Roosevelt at the head of It, Justice
Hughes was my choice il Roosevelt
could not be nominated on the Re-
publican ticket. Knowing him to be
q man well equipped to fill the office
of president Of the United States, hav-
ing those great questions which so
WILDLY concern the affairs of states
and nations as well as settling inter-
national disputes by international ar
bitration to avert and avoid wars and
believing that the best interest of the
people of the nation demands at this
present time change in the policies
of our government.

LACE INDUSTRY rs
GIVEN AN IMPETUS

Manila, Nov. 1.-The European war
and tic consequent closing of the
European sources of prod ..ction of
embroideries and laces has given a
tremendous impetus to this industry in
the Philippines. Before the war IL
had already reached large proportions
in Manila and the provinces. the pub
lie schools were giving it their atten-
ton in an effort to train girls in the
art of producing fabrics which would
meet commercial needs, and American
commercial interests had established
agencies here.
The war has increased this bust
ness to such an extent that 1t is SEEM
inGly impossible to meet the demand.
AT present more than 10000 women in
Manila alone are employed in shops
and homes on fine embroidery and
laces and the monthly payroll is in
excess of 100000 a month.
