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.

burned out and lost about all he
had except his mailing list and

none of its energy and gave the

readers that Sheridan will re

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." London Answers.
