GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT * By the Good Roads League. * * * * * * * * * * ** * * ** * We determined at the outset to run is campaign for roads along broad ies and in a liberal spirit. The issue volved is of such far-reaching im )rtance that any other kind of dis ssion is unworthy of the cause and tirely out of place. No man has a -ht to trifle with the public weal. knew there would be strong oppo ii. We expected that opposition xpress itself as it is its duty to do. -hole people have never been unan 1s on any subject. The opponents ny cause have as much right to opinions as its advocates, but ore. What we did expect and a right to expect is that in this ssion there should be no ques s about motives. The following statement of facts ould remove all misapprehension hat may exist in t.he minds.of any. (1) No man sought membership on is commission. Ev&rv man who has epted a place has done so with re tance. The commission was named E. H. Aull and the writer who e appointed by a committee from Good Roads League to draw a 1. It ought to be a source of gratifi tion to the people of the County tt there are men like these who are illing to assume such large respon ibilities of a public nature from a igh sense of civic , ide and duty. e don't claim that another commis ion just as good cannot be had. We are not infallible. But we do claim this is -a good commission. We claim that we were seeking the highest good of the entire county in naming it. We repudiate as utterly' groundless the thought that we were trying to serve he interest of any particular com unity or institution. (2) Five men were named on the m3ission from the town of Ne-w ry. This was not done to benefit ewberry but to facilitate tihe trans etion of business by the commission, as the bill very properly provides hat a majority of the commission hall sign every cheek. But for this act the commission would have been ore scattered. This phase of the ubject had careful consideration. It s possible we made a mist,ake but we on't think we did. What we want to sist upon is tihat we were not try g to serve the interest of Newberry t tihe expense of the other parts of he Coutny. O.ther provisions of the ill show this. If we had desired to raw a bill in favor of No. One ownship we would have opposed a ond issue altogether. We would have advocated a levy of mills. with each township receiving s own money. In this way No. One ould have gotten enough money to mild her roads and pay cash for them n not more than six years. On the ontra'ry No. One will give orther ownships not less than r$75,000.00 for oads. While all this talk is going on just emember what No. One will do for ihe other townships under the bill, d that she pays more than one-third f the total tax. Let us say in conclusion that if the other towvnships ever expect to get ood roads this is their opportunity. hey can 't get t:hem any other way. o to the Auditor and find out just hat your part'ieular township will ceive under the one mill levy which 11 be made this year if the bonds e not voted. Find out for yourself st where your township will stand. AN EDITOR'S HOPE. Washington Herald. For our part, we .hope wve are now adays seeing t:he last of the excessive ly slim, willowy and severely straight ine girl. Perhaps as a winter propo sition, she was not overwhelmingly acking in attractiveness; and even as' n early spring product she may have ier good points. But with the stealthy approach of the June time we would that. a change might come o'er t-he 'irit of her dreams, and that she gsht get her own consent to array herself in lawns. and organdies. and -er. things of that sort, you know, ~.litle more along the erstwhile most turactive and1 bewitching lines. There is nothing in all this wide -wide world quite so satisfying to look uon as a sweet summer girl. S-he is thing of beauty. and. verily, a joy forever. She always has been a little prettier eacih year: in dharm, and gace. and .winsomeness she has niev r been known to retrograde.

Must she sacrittee that to a foolish de cree that says she should seek to imi tate nothing on this mundane sphere so much as a broomstick when it eomes to the matter of herself adorn ed for dress -parade, or the quieter phases of her benign endeavor? She; is resourceful--oh, well we know it! She can accomplish mu.ch that man in his all too poor sartorial philosophy reeks not of. But she cannot reconcile those aforesaid peeks and boos, and all that with a figure sternly held to Iet anlgle, anid a costume construct ed only on precise perpendiculars, horizontals. and so forth! She cannot get by with tihat sort of thing. and hold her reputation as a. never-more lovely creation as the years go by. Lake Superior. BiF modern vessels are as helpless as older and smaei(r crafts wheil great gales lash her waters. As long ago a5 1882, vessel men declared that ships were getting so large on the Great Lakes that their chances of losses or serious disaster were remote. Bit the big and little, ancient "hook ers" and the finest and largest of t-he modern leviatihans all look alike to the eold, beautiful rock and forest brimmed inland sea. It is slow to anger, but its fury at times is irresistible. The salt wa ter sailor who makes his first trip on Lake Superior in calm weather is prone to sneer. at its dangers, but once he has ridden out a northwast ern gale and witnessed and felt the great shouldering seas, which carry the twisting motion of the ocean, he is silenced. Lake Superior is now called tihe "port of missing men" with Whitefish Point as "the grave yard of the lakes." The Adella Shores is the latest vic tim of the greatest of the Great Lakes. She vanished from the surface with a crew of 15 men. That is all that is known and perhaps all that will be known. The other day a pad dle bearing an inscription "Adella Shores," was washed ashoire at Whitefish Point, .indicating that the ship and its crew are some dis tance from that point, but further than that the mystery of the disas ter is locked in the icy breast of the mighty lake. A sailor lashed to a plank or to a spar may drift ashore, but no man expects that the incidents surrounding the foundering of the craft will ever come to ligtht. There is something exceedingly tragic in t'he loss of any ship in any circumstances. but when one goes down with all hands on board and Special i Gold Band Cups and S 60c.
