cause, promises well for a rapid
spread of the movement throughout
the country.
ter roads have been built in the I nited
States in 1 N'.IH than in any previous
year in its history.
The agitation which has become so
universal will surely result in a well-
defined public sentiment that will soon
overcome all obstacles. With the
new century the good roads movement
is likely to receive valuable aid from
the owners of horseless vehicles,
already not uncommon on our thor-
oughfares. The aid of these new
allies added to that of the farmer,with
his t;reat pecuniary interest in the
— question, to say nothing of the army
Progress of Road Building in the of wheelmen already enlisted in the
United States.
Altho the Rhode Island commis-
sioner of highways iloes not favor
state aid as adopted in the adjacent
states, the legislature has, at his sug-
gestion, passed a law which enables
him to build a half mile sample of
good macadamized highway in each
town. These permanent object les-
sons are of great benefit to the towns
where good highways have not been
built, and are conducive to more lib-
eral appropriations for new roads as
well as more thorough construction
when the local authorities choose to
carry the work forward. Out of
2,240 miles of highways in Rhode
Island about 500 have been improved
by the use of gravel or stone.
The legislatuie of New York passed
a bill last year which provides that
the state's share in the improvement
of highways shall be f>0 per cent of
the cost, the county's share per
cent, and the town's share the re-
mainder. The boards of supervisors
are given the ripht to decide what
roads, if any, are to be improved,
thus making the matter of road im-
provement entirely optional. No new
offices were created, the state engineer
being placed in charge of all road
work. The law seems to give satis-
faction. Several miles of new roads
have been built and work is still in
progress under its provisions.
The legislature and people of Cali-1
fornia have not been idle in the work j
of good roads nor blind to the needs .
of the state in this respect. Up to a ;
few years ago some of the convicts
had been supported in comparative
idleness at the expense of the state,
while others had been utilized in di-
rect competition with free labor. In
18 5 the legislature decided, at the
suggestion of Gen. Hoy Stone, to
use convict labor in preparing road
materials; a bill was passed providing
for a highway commission and for'
he construction of a rock-crushing The Question at Issue.

Mixing Cause and Effect.
The ilood of faulty logic and ill-
founded deductions drawn out by the
postal peculations is worthy of immor-
talization by some Swift or Cervantes
of the present time Take the ebulli-
tions of those editorial Hessians who
affect to find in the acceptance of
bribes by Uncle Sam's hired men au
argument against public ownership.
In the first place there is no warrant
for the assumption that employes of
the people are intrinsica..;- !°ss honest
than those of corporations In the
next place, if they are, it is not because
they are in the employ of the public,
but because they are corrupted by
contact with private interests. The
poor weakling who sold his honor to
a firm which wanted a contract to
print money orders was a victim of
the greed of private interest, not of
any disadvantage inherent in public
ownership. Had the printing been
done in the government printing office
thtjre would have been no bribery. So
it was with the perjured creature who
used his position to act as procurer
for the free delivery box factory. The
prime mover, the giver of the bribe,
the positive force, the tempter in all
cases is private interests. Their greed
and dishonesty corrupts men who
might otherwise be honest, and then
with sublimated assurance and gall

and, from the plat furnished by tht !
council, showed our readers where i
and how far apart the mains of the
different sizes are to be laid. This
paper is the only one in the town that
has dono anything of the kind, and
we have received many expressions of
appreciation from taxpayers for the
! painstaking manner in which we have
I done this.
I If those who oppose the bonds had
Had any figures to submit showing
1 that the estimate submitted by the
council is incorrect, we would have
' published their statement as willingly j
as we did that of the council. We are
simply after the facts. The editor of
this paper is not competent to judge
of the correctness of the estimated (
cost, but in the absence of any proof
to the contrary it is fair to presume
that the council's figures are correct,
practically correct, at least.
As to the location of the mains
while the plat submitted by the coun-
cil shows that they will not be laid1
within one block of every residence in
the town as the people had gained the
impression that they were to be. It
does not follow that residences which
are one and a-half or even two blocks
from a main are to be left without fire
protection. The city has recently
added a lot of new hose and expects
to buy another 4,000 fpet. which will
bring every building within easy
reach of the hose, many of them from
more than one direction.
From this brief review of the facts
as we have learned them, it will be
seen that one of the main objections
which was at first urged against the
bonds, namely, that #35,000 was not a
sufficient sum to pay for a system
which would furnish adequate protec-
tion to all parts of the city, has been
removed.
One serious objection, however,
remains to be disposed ot. It
this: It is

Thus one might, if space permitted,go
