GOOD ROADS AND RURAL MAILS.
Rural mail delivery and the good
roads movement go side by side. The
efficiency of mail service depends upon
the condition of the roads, and this
condition has never been wore appar
ent than at the present time when
the popular demand for more extended
rural delivery is increasing every day.
The mail service Is a government in
stitution and there is a growing ten
dency to look to the government for
assistance In the closely allied road
movement. Towns are plainly unable
to bear the cost, and but few states
feel able to fully meet the situation.
But the government which has spent
forty-four million dollars for improving
rivets, harbors and canals, paying the
entire cost of such works, might eas
ily spare an equal amount to help
transportation by land.
A plan was submitted to the last
congress by which the government and
the state each pays one-half. The state
could then levy a share of the expense
upon the counties and towns, bring the
actual cost down to a very low figure
Such a measure would add to the at'
tractlveness and value of country prop
erty and the facilities of farm life
would be greatly increased and it is
a project the representatives of the
people at the national capitol should
support heartily, as they will when
made aware that the people are In ear
nest on the subject of good roads built
by government assistance. .
Worry, not work, - kills the man.
This old jroverb still holds good and
is even growing better. President El
iot of Harvard not long ago gave a prof
itable address on work. He called it
"the foundation of civilization,' which
makes nations as it does individuals.
As a constant use of the muscles caus
es their development, so by the con
stant use of the brain we get the re
sults of thought. A man in health re
ttiiis his health longer by working.
It is the most indispensable, the most
belrful, medicinal and remunerative
thing in this world. It may be over
done Or Underpaid, it may be misdi
rected; but it gives a zest to every
thing, and brings a satisfaction that is
not to be had at any other price.
There is a growing belief that the
St. Louis exposition will be a big cam
paign object lesson In favor of repub
lican rule dring the presidential year,
as it will show such abundant evi
dences of prosperity all over the coun
try that every intelligent man who sees
it will preceive the advisability of let
ting well enough alone. In fact, the
national apple-cart is so abundantly
loaded that it requires the strength of
the elephant to haul It. The democrat
ic donkoy could not keep the wheels
moving and would have no other re
cou' than that of kicking the cart
and upsetting the load.

The state experiment station of Min
nesota Is mixing things up In a way
that looks plcayuntsh out west. They
have succeeded by grafting In the pro
duction of a two-story combined po
tato and tomato plant which bear po
tatoes on the roots and tomatoes on
the vines. Such double dealing savors
of the occult. -
According to President EHkt there
are nv? essentials to real nappiness:
family lite, productive labor, appetitie.
outdoor sports and reading. An ex
change says the distinguished educator
omits health, but how can a man have
an appetite without health?
Chicago should be a city after the
president's own heart. Out of a total
of 74,608 babies born in Illinois last
year, no less that !7,347 saw the light
of day in that city. It is at least en
titled to favorable mention.
The San Francisco Dry Dock com
mission has Just completed at Hunters
Point one of the finest dry docks In
the world. It Is large enough for two
batt'eshops at one. time and can be
pumped out In two hours.
RUhard Croker has explicitly stated
hat he will never return to New York.
Which helps the average of civic mor
ality quite perceptibly.
Salem bartenders challenge the barb
ers to meet them o n the diamond for
a match game of basball. It will do
the barbers good to neet the bartend

Not a very pleasing fact to contem

of every 112 deaths in our fair land
one Is due to murder.
