A leading local business man
suggests that the Prairie High
way district vote bonds for the
construction of a good road to
connect with the good road OF
the North Highway district and
also for the improvement of our
main east and west road. His
theory is, that sooner or later,
such highway work will be i'm
perative, and right now is the
best time to procure labor for
the work. This is a matter our
people and their district highway
commissioners should give seri-
Gus thought, with the idea of ac-
ton along such a line at an early
date. We need the roads and we
need the work. The bonds can
be paid off during the succeeding
years, when work and money are
more plentiful.

OPPORTUNITY BECKONS.

Two great organizations of the
American people are at work
again--congress and baseball.
Congress represents to us the
serious side of life, the source
from which springs the laws and
the revenues that enable us to
function as people governed by
the people. There are many good
senators and congressman, and
doubtless there are some who are
not so good. They have perform
ed much contructive work in the
past, and some that is indifferent
in its value. We take them as we
find them and are thankful that
they are as good as they are.
They might be worse.
Baseball is the national escape
valve. 1t is through the popular
game that men with red blood
find vent for their pent up en-
thusiasm, or an hour Of relaxa-
ton from the burdensome cares
Of life. Baseball has sprung from
an humble beginning to an emf
nence that almost staggers the
conception of the human mind.
1t came up with the glories of a
rocket, and almost collapsed with
the thud Of a dud. There are
honest and brilliant ball players
who are an honor to their profess
sion, and exposure has disclosed
a ring of grating shysters.
Congress is on trial, as it hasI
always been.
Baseball is in the balance, as it |
has never been before.
May justice and right guide
their minds and their hearts and
their hands, in the opportunities
that are before them, to the end
that the affairs of government
may be so satisfactorily adjusted
and attuned that the call of the
diamond may find us in a frame
of mind capable of enjoying toll
the fullest the pleasures that EN-
anate from the field of the ball
and the bat.
Opportunities beckon to the
two extremes.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

When fellow is counting q
girl he is more than careful OF
what he says to her in public. He
is a Chesterfield in politeness,
and is quick to anticipate her
wishes and her desires. There is
a reason, a very potent one. She
is her own mistress and can tell
him to "move on" when he fails
to measure up to her standard.
But after the minister has receiv-
ed his fee it is different. She is
tied to home, is at his mercy, and
in many respects is helpless. She
has the same feelings, the same
ambitions, the same sensibilities
and desires that she had before,
she is not free to exercise them
as she would if she were single
again. Her thoughts may travel
affair, but her material world is
restricted to her shadow. Her
future is as he makes it, or mars
it. Her life becomes a dream of
bliss, or an agony of misery, as
he elects.
Most men mean well toward
their wives throughout the years
of their association. They have
no desire to pain or humiliate
them in public or in private life.
They simply become careless, Of
ten inattentive, sometimes indif-
ferent. The counting period sell
dom lasts, 1t is when these
things occur in public that theI
woman suffers the most. They
can not be e blamed, for there
is no excuse. She is Inundated
without redress.

err rate Of speed than twenty-five
miles an hour. 1t would be well
if such law could be enacted in
every state. Twenty-Five miles
is good rate of speed. 1t is fast
enough for any automobile to go.
1t is even too rapid for some Of
our motorists. If the driver of
a car were headed straight for
the grave. and knew it, he would
step on the brake, or pull the
emergency. Twenty-Five miles
an hour would throw him into a
panic. He would want to crawl,
to emulate the snail. 1t makes a
whose grave is ahead.

New York City has unquestonabfy

since, from dtsloyalty on the part Of
school teachers. 1t is desirable that
in the schools particularly there
should be no taint Of treason, no
