Now she hummed a little, ran
comb through her hair. In the
mirror she could see his long,

keeping his lips parted and those
black, arched brows gave him a

His silky hair fell Imply half

She watched intent--breathless.
Then his hand slipped inertly

She felt suddenly like sobbing.

GUILTY IN THE PUBLIC's MIND

Why the jury in the Daugherty Miller case
disagreed may never be revealed to the public.
But the public will never be satisfied with
the outcome.
The Jury sensed that crime had been com
mitted. This seemed pretty clear. However,
the lengthy wranglings in the jury room and
the repeated appeals to the court for explana-
tons showed that minority of the jurors
could not tie up in their minds the wrongdoing
with the intricacies of the indictment.

law.

Ruckner presented his case with damning
facts. However, the defendants escaped
verdict of guilty chiefly through the fact that
they could not be tried directly for bribery but
had to lie tried under conspiracy statute
which raises much greater difficulties.
Technically, Daugherty and Miller not

bar of public opinion, no matter what a few
iurymen may have decided. Nor will the pub

BETTER ROAD BUILDING METHODS

In any part of the United States-not many
years ago-.a road was anything which was
passable with horses and a wheeled vehicle
stones ruts, dust and mud were the rule.
Farmers were permitted to work OUT their
road taxes.
Then came the automobile, and the demand
for surfaced roads. Tractors took the place
of horses; ingenious machinery was developed
for use with tractors, enabling one or two men
to do work formerly requiring large crew Of
aborers. The amazing transformation that
has taken place in American road building
practice is summarized by H. F. Fairbanks,
Highway Engineer of United States Bureau of
Public Roads, Washington D. c., who says:
"The development of road building from q
rule OF thumb practice into scientific art, has
made it practically impossible to permit con-
tinuance of this old custom permitting farm
ers to work out taxes), and the improved eco
nomic condition of the rural population is such
that there is no longer public demand for its
continuance.
AS pointed out by w. F. Nixon, Secretary of
the California Highway Commission: Road
building is a highly specialized profession, and
to be successfully carried on must be in charge
of trained experts"
It has been said that in the United States,
when public demand arises, the means of
gratifying this demand made available
more quickly than in any other country of the
world Surely the development of modern
tractors and road machinery in which this
country has taken so conspicuous a lead, is
striking sample of American initiative and en-
terprise None of us would return to the old
methods-and the best part of it is, none of us
will have to.
Illustrating the "bctter road building" prac
tees now in vogue, astonishing low cost OF
maintenance for paved streets is reported
from Portland Oregon, where for the past
three and one-half years, the city, according
to the annual report of the Board of Public
Works has had under maintenance 6,78O,933
square yards Of asphaltic concrete base and
surface pavement, for which the cost of MAIN
tenance for the three and one-half year period
was only 1888 Some of the streets were
paved rs far hack as 1911.
Naturally, only durable pavement, laid I
and maintained with efficient equipment, /
could give such service. But it is this class of
good pavement, coupled with modern machin-
cry, that is making "paved America" posi- /

years of age and was highly esteemed
and loved by all who knew her.
She leaves, besides her husband, s

heir kindness during her illness and
death.

Called our dear grandmother away.
Her soul was carried to Judgment,
Where we all must go some day.
She's gone up there to dwell with
Jesus,
And if the Bible is true we believ,
She has gone to live in Glory
And a crown of life to receive.
She lived and died for the Master;
She served him every day;
She went to church on Sunday,
And did her bit in every way.
We miss her here on earth
Because we loved her SO,
But if we follow in her footsteps
We also to Heaven shall go.

The world has hardly paused long
enough yet to bestow proper appre-

worlds greatest benefactors. This
is because he is still living and work

benefactions of those who are dead.
Few men who ever lived have touched
the lives Of so many people with aid
and happiness as has Edison with
