GOOD SIDEWALKS UlilSC, OTHER IUPROYEULWTS Monmouth is slotting n i;oil many concrete sidewalks and these walks are a valuable asset to the city, not only because thev are :tod walks, but because thev are permanent and sightly as well as safe. Then, added to this, they brins about conditions of improvement which otherwise cannot be had. When the concrete walk has been placed it is permanent ami the yard can be graded and the grounds leveled to correspond with the walk as the owner has something established to build from, and work is carried ahead with the assurance that there will be no change. This cannot be done where only temporary walks are in use. Good walks become a stimulus to help in the building of nice yards ami nice yards suggest well kept homes, which in turn indicates prosperous and refined people and all have their tenden cy for the upward lift of hu manity. Taking this view we some times wonder why various per sons are so loath to put a few dollars into a permanent side walk when the value of their property will be increased more than the cost of construction; but then we are reminded of "Huckleberry Fin and his old barrel." We are too apt to get into a state of inactivity from which only the power of energy can move us and too often that ener gy must be supplied from out side forces. Man has the opportunity and the ability, when using his God given privileges, to rise to an intelligence surmounted only by his creator, but in order to reach the condition outlined, he must move out in the right direction and strive with that energy which knows no abatement, to fill out the measure of his cre ation and be what God intended him to he. This altitude can not be reached only through progressive action, and as the spiritual and temperal laws are closely allied so also are the spiritual and temporal needs and inaction or lack of energy is but a clog on the progress of the individual. Why Wall Street Is Dull Wall street counts upon a dull season at this time of the year. The business it transacts seems to be the kind that calls for more interest and activity than the average human being can command in midsummer. Never theless, dullness has now gone to such limits that Wall street complains. The situation is more painful than the brokers can endure without weeping and gnashing of teeth. Several reasons are advanced for this stadium! state of tlu so curitios market t!i war in southfastcrn Kutoe, tin- lightor volume of irt'tierul business tuid I'isuri'iu'ss of t'onsjn'ss in disposing of tariff revision. Hut even with the lialkans wearied or exhausted of euttins; throats, business operating upon a larger scale and eonresnien i;ono upon vaeation to eet tlie hoarse ness out of their voices, is there anv certainty that the stock markets would t;o booming asjain '.' 1 here is plenty ol money this eotintry, money that srettiiiir into investment, that in , is is huyinir fanulaiul, building homes, taking trips to summer resorts and meeting the family clamor for automobiles. The. people who have this money are not particularly troubled about foreign wars or really irritated over the snail-like progress of jthe tariff bill. Would they buy stocks if these diturliu: factors were out of the way ? There is nothing to indicate that they 1 would. Wall street is dull whenever the public stays away. To gvt the public into Wall street sixain i will probably require a sort of ' ps cholo:ieal wave of interest, ; not universal peace and a silent congress. Toledo Hladt Macadam Rixulu Obsolete One uf the many revolutiona ry effects of the automobile has been that of making the time tried macadam system of road building one of the poorest and most expensive systems which road builders of today could adopt It has been recognized for some time that the automobile tins have the trick of sucking the binding of dust and line stone from around the larger stones of a macadam road-wa v. This is highly damaging in it self, but it is worse yet in that it leaves the roads open to the cut ting effect of heavy rain and riv ulets formed from melting snow. But no accurate data has been obtainable until recently which would show just how hurtful the motor car traffic is to macadam. We find in the Municipal Jour nal the report of a Massachusetts expert showing that between l'.JOS and 11112 inclusive, the city of New Bedford rebuilt six times as much of its macadam streets as it built in the five vears ore vious. The citv betran the oil-! i n y: of stone roads in UlO.S, but this, while plainly prolonging the life of the pavement, could not offset the tremendous in crease in the wear and tear caused by the automobiles. The destructive force of the automobile has probably been in about the same ratio throughout the country. Clearly it is a sense less thing to pile taxes on motor vehicles with the idea of meet ing the increased maintenance charges. What is wanted is not more money to keep up roads, but roads which are immune to the particular form of destruc tion which automobiles do. The macadam system, efficient as it has been in meeting the needs of horse traflic, must be aban doned. Toledo Blade.

So there you are later news does not seem to1 warrent such action as there seems little or no inc lination on the part of the ad in i nist ration nor the populace of the United .States to interfere with the trouble there, further than is necessarv for the protection of American interests and lives. There seems to be a growing sentiment that the Mexicans light their own troubles out among themselves. This is hardly a Christian view to take in the matter, but it is probably the best thing that can be done under present conditions. The Sheridan .Sun came to hand as usual the latter part of last week, and although its en terprising owner had been burned out and lost about all he had except his mailing list and the insurance the Sun has lost none of its energy and gave the news of the lire with scenes of the wrecked city, and assures its readers that Sheridan will re build and be a bigger and better town in the future. Long may the Sun grow and flourish. Ha Had No Choice. The wife of a dynamo tender went to a haberdasher's to buy a necktie for her husband. She select ed a brilliant red one, ready made, whereupon the young and inexperi enced salesman, with compassion for the future owner, was moved to remark : "Kxcuse me, missus, is this tie for your husband ?" "It is," replied the woman. "Don't you think he'd rather have some other color? I'm afraid he won't wear this red tie." "Oh, yes, he will!" said the wom an firmly. "He'll have to he's dead."
