All over this naticn we hear the call for good roads, and if one-half the money Consress has thrown away on ard had teen applied in building up a gystem of country roads we mi~ht have had beawtiful national high- ways cross-cutting the nation in all directions, a permanent and immeas- urable benefit to the people. We are beginning to realize this now, and out in Texas, a 2o0o0d road: association in Bowie county, w than the wisest Consress we ever har! fn this recard, has given the whol United States a tip which ought t be paseed right on to Congress with but further delay. The Saturda) Evening Post in its last issue tell: about it as follows: “Concress will cheerfully squan der millions of dollars in erectin hundred thousand-dollar post ofic buildinzs in twenty-five-thousanrd dollar towns. It blithely throw: away many more millions in ‘im provine” rivers and harbors that have no commercial value. If halt the sum absolutely wasted in build ing and river appropriations during the last ten years had been devotec to good roads the country would be appreciably richer. People are be ginning to understand this—in Tex as, at least. Bowie county, in that State, has two small streams for the improvement of which federal funds have leen appropriated. A Texar kana correspondent writes: ‘These streams are jokes, so far as steam- boat navization is concerned; ‘ the goverrment i sting its money ac- creeks Coves in these appro; In many places you running jump and 1 e o sile of the river! 8 e County Good Roa \:s0 stly memori- alizes ators to stop thi f le by havin ¢ useless appropriation for river improvement diverted to the maki a federal highway through the cour Of course the repre- sentatives 2 and | months | eireuls 0 s 0 11d have far- meer fs a rears 0 daying il Ltin h , had L for te I re- r L and " Mg 'l v ' ! i in ¢ nt! of ! th hitl 1 )i Lo it exposition of thi racter of the hiezn ‘ne- The ne2to tonsh efected from in etroit a day or two ki «ot even by oting down three white people has his cou: ter- nart in every Southern city, and the feature of it is that his evimc is di In/ such cases he commits murder beecaise he i: ¢ resro and he hates the whites, Tla: pily the rreat mass of ne~roes have ro such hlood-th they maintain p with the other race.

But if his own daughter were the victim of one of these ‘‘es- capades’” he would probably see the true meaning of the white slave law through clearer glasses. The en- forcement of that law as it was done in San Francisco in the Diggs ard Caminetti cases has had a most sal- utary influence over the whole coun- try and is striking terror to the hearts of libertines and seducers, but if the theory of this Kansas judge shall prevail, the wolves can go back to their feast with no federal law to molest them and continue to take their chances on the bullets of the fathers and brothers of their vic- tims. D All is not well with the commission form of governmnt in Pensacola which that city only adopted a few ition for the recall of all three of the commissioners on the ground that they by fraud. They are rather late in coming for- w with such a charge and the sus- es that some other mo were elected is be can start a petition for recall, but it another matter to get the required number of signatures. If the latter task were not a difficult one the pow- er of the recall might easily become able to do that now because there! bility of the city government at the is much precedent for squandering public meney on fool building and river projects, and none for wisely investinz it in good roads; but if enouch other counties join Bowie in the same demand, Congress will soon set a precedent. What county will be next?” SRS AN APPOINTMENT VINDICATED The miscuided effort of a political merey of the least responsible peo- ple in the community RCIRESES NI — Columns of eloquent eulogy would be less eloquent than the fol- lowing rare tribute in seven lines to the editor of the Tampa Tribune from the Gainesville Sun: “One of the admirable traits of Wallace Stovall of the great Tampa Tribune {s that he never forgets a kindness shown him in his boyhood writer in the alcksonville Metrop- | days; and another is that he is al- olis to peach the motive of Gov- ways willing to ‘forgive and forzet’ ernor Trammell in appointing Mr. | if met half way by his opponent.” Scofeld rather than Mr. Wdistrict attorney by implring the governor would be a candidate for Concress from the First district and anpointed Scofield from that district in the interest of his candi- dacy when Snencer from another Ais- trict was a better man for the place, has been very conclusively disnosed of by Goverune Trammell.

The odds are still in favor of Judge Mec- Call, Tammany's candidate for mayor.

The Board of Trade of Winston- Salem, N. C:, is helping the hizh school to train boys for citizenship. The course is a foundation course in the principles of economics and gov- ernment, but with special reference to the industrial, commercial and agricultural problems of the United States, particularly the Southern States.

The movement: hag rothing to do with the Parliamen- tary suffragist movement. Col.

No man could. 1 beliey Mayor Gaynor did a ereat and won derful work and that this will come more apparent as the mor pass.
