What was accomplished durinz 1812 in that direction is shown by the fifth| annual rerort of the State ceolovist which puts the number o° comnleted | miles of cood roads in the State at 2,848, Of this number £77.8 were surfaced with marl or ernghed stone; 1,408.75 were surfaced with sand- | clay; 218 miles were surfaced with| shell; 5.2 miles with cement; 26.5 with cravel; 4 miles with asphalt and 8.5 miles with brick. The total expenditvre during that period ex- ceeds one million dollars. g When 2 Polk county boy can gath-| er 65 bughels of corn from one acee, of Polk county soil, as told in our| news columns today, he has done! sonicthing to be proud of and whicll‘f was doubtless better than his father! ever did under the old vack number! cultural methods. Think of a county where orenges and grapefruit crow to perfection and are great money crops and also grows corn in such quantity per acre as would be credit- able to Kansas or lowa. And then think of the strawberries and all the other trucking produce growing to perfection! Truly it is Paramont Polk! 1 s We are glad to see that the presi- dent of the United Daughters of the confederacy in session at New Or- leans, arrees with the Telezram in denouncing the nonsensical scheme of Concressman Holson to ask the! United States government to pension Confederacy in session at New Or- ment would never do it, of conree, for obvious reasons, and it would be inconsistent with the sturdy self-re-: spect characteristie of the old solf, diers of the South that they shold | ask a covernment they had fousht against to put them on its pension! roll. o We see that they have a constitu- tional convention now in session in! ' Louisiana to make a new constitu- tion for that State. The Miami Me- tropolis will please make a note and! find out how they got the thinz started. ‘ Evening Gowns, Those Mexicans arej cple jine ' A RESOLUTION THAT SHOULD BE ADOPTED THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK.

We mean a rational law governing the marriaze relation to the end that thousands of people un- fit to marry, physically or morally or both, but who now do o at will to the infinite harm of society and pos terity, will be legally prohibited fron. doing so. The land swarms witl criminals, degenerates, weaklings hoodlums, rowdies and incapables o all kinds, because of unfit marriagze which should never have been pe: mitted, and a world slowly comin to its senses is at last reaching th¢ perfectly obvious conclusion tha proper lezal restraints and regula tions should be thrown about the most important relation in life and the conditions upon which it may be assumed. Fool marriages are the superlative curse of the world, just as wise mar- rinces are its immeasurable blessing. 'No law can make every marital union a happy one, but sengible rezulations can at least prevent the marriage of decenerates, idiots, near idiots and those hopelessly diseased or of pro- nounced criminal tendencies, for so- ciety has an inherent right to protect itself against evils from within as well as without, and nothing is surer| than that the issue of guch unfit mar-} st character.
