Discouraging the Coming Of Carnivals

The police authorities deprecate the coming
of carnivals to Richmond, not out of spirit of
opposition to wholesome amusement but because
they usually give occasion for complaints from
persons who have been cheated or robbed.
Among the effects of member of the last car
nival company to show here were found num-
Der of valuables, taken the police say, from per-
sons who were in attendance.
Carnival companies usually have a number of
attractions offering amusement if one may
designate it such, which in violation of
the state law. Gambling, games of chance, and
unwholesome shows often are listed among the
features.
Organizations under whose auspices carni-
val companies operate in the city, police believe,
no longer receive percentage of the receipts
from the shows but are paid lump sum by the
carnival management, the name Of the organiza-
ton being used in return inducement to at
tract crowds. This opens wide avenue for ir-
Irregularities, virtually permitting the managers of
the carnival to go to extremes to make money
out of the venture.
Richmond has its quota of good amusement
houses, which year in and out offer legitimate
entertainment in return for reasonable adnis-
sion prices. A patronage of these places is pre-
ferable to the advent of travelling carnival shows
which demand police supervision and will take
advantage of the slightest laxity to offer diver
sions that are in violation of the state laws.

Delay Action on the Proposed Highway
improvement Petitions

On June the county commissioners will pass
on highway improvements amounting to between
100000 and $4,000 The commissioners de-
layed action on the petitions once before, setting
June 2 as the date for final decision. Under the
law, the commissioners may again postpone
action. A second postpa1ement is in order. It
will serve the public interest.
In the meantime the commissioners and the
citizens interested in the construction of endur-
ing roads in Wayne county should ascertain facts
regarding the materials ont of which permanent
roads are constructed.
To learn the facts, the. arguments presented
by statesmen should be discarded. The commits
sioners should not be under the impression left
by the paid representatives of companies manu-
featuring highway materials.
The only manner in whi:h data permanent
roads can be obtained is by investigating high
ways that have endured hard wear, heavy traffic,
and have been tested thoroughly in the course of
years. The resistance which a road surface has
given to traffic for number of years is the only
reliable test of the material which should enter
into the construction of permanent road.
Statesmen adduce many al guments practical
and theoretical, for the material they hope to
have adopted for new roads. The soundness of
their arguments, however, is not to be sought
in the persuasive ability of the statesmen, but in
the actual resistance of the material after it has
been subjected for number ca years to the wear
of traffic. This is the element of the argument
that must be scrutinized closely, and the conclu-
sions can be drawn only after the commissioners
have visited the highways and made first hand
observations.
Until such an investigation has been made,
the commissioners should postpone action of the
expenditure of between 100000 and 100000,
for roads. Delay to make possible study of the
best highway materials obtainable is to be COM
mended in this instance. Haste may lead to an
unwise expenditure of public funds and result in
the building of roads that instead Of being per-
manent will require constant repairs.

Don t Cheaper the Roads

Apropos of the highway situation in Wayne
county where wide awake citizens are demand
ing that permanence be the guiding principle of
the county commissioners in authorizing road i'm
provements is an editorial in the Chicago Tribune
sounding a warning against disposition in Hi
nois to make temporary" road improvements.
The stand of the Tribune is substantially that
of the public minded men of Wayne county. 1t
deprecates any expenditure of the public funds
for roads that will crumble away in few years.
It insists that if roads built, they should be
built for centuries. Says the Tribune:
There is a movement in the legislature to
cheaper road construction. All forehanded citi-
zens should vigorously protest against such an
unwise policy.
Apparently the basis of the cheap road sug-
gestion is this The voters approved S60,000,-
900 bond issue to pay for the first 4800 miles
of the new road program; the voters were assured
that the money would be prudently used and that
1890 miles of highways would be Forthcoming
since the election has the arrnistice and the
consequent industrial turbulence which complete
ly upset the market in building materials; prices
have gone up and there is little chance of their

Where you expected a fine crop of
French peas you get a mess Of vege-
table oysters, and where you allowed
only little room for the string beans,
figuring they would grow up in the
air, you get fine crop Of cucumbers,
which crawl all over the ground and
in through the kitchen door and wind
themselves around the pipes under the
sink. The cucumbers upset every
thing else in the garden except the
Watermelons. In the role of string
bean the cucumber is a failure
1t is customary to work in the gar
den hard all day Monday, that being
the day upon which to start every gar
den. On Tuesday you work four
hours. On Wednesday you work two
hours and then play golf On Thurs
day you work half hour and on Fri
day ten minutes. On Saturday you

If the garden is still there and on
Sunday, of course, you cannot work in
the garden.
Two weeks afterward the neighbors
have borrowed all the tools and you
cant work in the garden even if you
want to. When a man makes a gar
den it is like playing the ukulele or
putting together puzzle pictures. He
has got to keep at it constantly.
