THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
The doctors of Scott county,
"Virginia, have undertaken to im
press upon the people of I heir
neighborhood the dollars-and
cents advantage of improving
highways. The electors are about
to vote on a heavy bond issue for
the building of good roads. The
physicians have served notice
that they will double their prices
for professional services if the
bond issue is not authorized.
They contend that the inadequate
and unsafe? roads make travel
dangerous (o them and their
horses and that, their carriages
and automobiles are soon ruined
Vy .jolting over rough roads.
■ Consequently ihey must have
twice as much in fees as would
be required if the county were
equipped with improved high
ways.
The position taken by the doc
tors emphasizes a point that is
too often overlooked. Good roads
are time saving and economical
for all who have to use them.
The farmer would profit just as
well as would the doctor and
should realize that his hauling
expenses would be cut in two by
high grade roads to replace ruts.
The doctors would have made
their pronouncement more effect
ive and logical had they declared
that in case I he country’s high
ways are improved they will re
duce the fees for professional ser
vices. If is reasonable lo sup
pose they are charging rates bas
ed on present conditions. If con
ditions are improved Ihey should
give lo I In.* people the benefit
rather Ilian Ihreatening lo im
pose a further penalty in eras
roads are mil constructed.
ELEVATING THE DRAMA.
It. 11a|>i><■ i)<■ <I in Denver. The
soubi’ette resorted to the ancient
device of dashing down through
the parriuet and kissed the bald
head of a man sitting near the
aisle. She kissed tin* wrong man,
or at least the man who was not,
in company that stands for such
conduct, lie was with his wife.
The wife of the hald-headed
man promptly arose, smote the
noubrette over the head with an
umbrella and then sued the the
ater for 85,000 damages and lias
won a verdict in the courts.
The drama needs more uplift
ing cases of this kind, but it is
too rare that the bald-headed
worm turns.
Secretary of War Harrison will
recommend that the Alaskan ca
ble and telegraph lines be turned
over to the Postoffice department,
following the recommendations
of his predecessor, who contended
that the burden of maiitaining
and operating the telegraph lines
in the territory should not be im-'
posed upon the appropriation for
the Army. If this recommenda
tion is adopted something over
’200 officers and men will be re
lieved from duty in Alaska, suffi
cient to organize two more field
companies in the Signal Corps,
which are needed very badly by
the Army. But more than this,
the expenses of maintaining a tel
egraph system) in Alaska should
be charged against the Postoffice
department or the territory. Just
at present there is need of an ex
penditure of over a half million
dollars in renewing parts of the
cable. There was a time when
the telegraph and cable line was
a military necessity, but this ex
ists no longer. Its maintenance
is one of the expenses of the civil
establishment, aid it is an injust
ice to charge it against the army.
—Army and Navy Journal, May
19, 1913. __
• At a hearing of the Alaska
railroad bill before a Senate com
mittee on May 5 it was stated
that a saving of at least $1,600,
000 annually on the cost of navy
Coal on the Pacific coast would
be one of the first benefits to
come from the government's con
struction of the road, .^n Alas
kan, Falcon Joslin, of Fairbanks,
declared that Alaska coal could
be mined, transported and laid
down in the navy yards at Brem
erton and Mare Island at from $1
jo $5.50 a ton, as compared with
the present cost, $9 a ton, at these
poiils. More than 400,000 tons
are now used.—Army and Navy
Journal, May 10, 1913.
Frilzi SchelV, who was given an
interlocutory decree of divorce
last January, lias been granted
another decree. If the process is
kepi up long enough Miss SehefT
is going to wake up some line day
and find herself unmarried.
One of the $15,000,000 sub
sidiaries of the Standard Oil com
pany lias just declared an extra
dividend of $60,000,000. Mr.
Rockefeller need not go without
his beefsteak, even at the prevail
ing prices.
Colonel Bryan, says he sees an
end of boss rule and bossism in
politics. Good citizens generally
will wish they could share Colonel
Bryan’s confidence on this point.
Mexico is to have a popular
election in October and it is ex
pected that the populace will
abide by the result for a month
at least.
