thing that brought this rural post
roads law about was and is the con-
tinuation of complaints and resolu-
tons from the rural mail carriers of
our country.
The department is justly asking for
relief, and it is our duty to help it.
for we must confess that 1t is doing
a great thing for us farmers by send
ing our mail and parcels to us with
certainty and promptness. Here is
what the government proposes to do,
part of section of the act:
That for the purpose of this act
the term rural post road shall be con-
strued to mean any public road over
which the United States mails now
are, or may hereafter be, transported
Now what I infer from the propo-
sition for extension is that II they ex-
tend rural route, or establish a rural
or star route, the government GOOD
roads act would extend to 1t, and no
farther
was a member of the State Farm
ers' union meeting at Omaha, and L
do not think that we were consistent
in turning down the good roads propo-
sition, wherein the government asked
us to assist in making good roads for
the rural mail carriers. And we re-
solved that the government should
take over the railroads, and we also
resolved that the railroads should at
tach a sleeping car to each stock train
and we also resolved that the state
should buy and own the stock yards
at Omaha.
Now, when the government proposes
to help us to do what 1t is our whole
duty to do ourselves, we do not do
our duty toward ourselves nor toward
the rural mail carrier, for we know
that there are a great many Of our
rural mail routes in deplorable con-
dtion. F. e. PAYNE.

Are Our NeaD Coins Inartlst1c9

In one respect at least the public taste has
deteriorated. Each new issue Of coins seems less
artistic than the last Our coins were formerly
worthily American and the high quality of the
design was broadly appreciated. The old $40 gold
piece was recognized, at home and abroad, as per-
haps the handsomest coin Of its kind in the world
1t was work of art, but with perhaps single
exception it would be presumptuous to apply
that word to the new issue.
There is one artistic coin Of recent date, the
Buffalo nickel. 1t Is American and Characteristic
and the single objection to it brings out one Of
the false canons upon which our coinage is de-
signed. 1t is said that the value of the coin is
not stated clearly enough. 1t is wonderful how
this fetish survives. Nobody mistakes the Buffalo
nickel for anything else, nor would cent be less
recognzably cent, or quarter quarter, with
no legend of value Whoever has seen any Of our
coins once never looks at the figures again for
the rest of his life.
Publicity for the designs before adoption
would greatly improve their quality, and prevent
change merely for changes sake. Who will pre-
tend that the Liberty head on the new silver
coinage is an improvement on the old, and that
was nothing to brag about? 1t is insignificant
and without character, altogether lacking in
breadth OF treatment and imagination, two quail
ties which it need hardly be said have nothing
to do with the size of the coin. We seem to be
drifting into bastard French style wholly de-
void OF French art.
1t has been truly said that art admits of no
qualifying adjective Either it is art or it is not
1t is true there have been recent attempts to con-
vince US that uginess is art They have not sue
ceeded, and still less can the officers of the mint
convince us that utterly uninSpred mediocrty
is art 1t is a national misfortune that such an
opportunity to cultivate the taste of all classes
is so completely thrown away.
