Newspapers the Bent Protection

A oortespondent of the New York
Herald/speaking of the lawlessness
.imposition, noise and failure of the
olty government to do ite full duty
by the people, closes his letter with
these words: "Deoent, law abid
log people would hardly have the
priviledge of existing here if u
were not for the newspapers." Thai
is doubtless true. The newspapers
are lo advance of the government,
I national, slate or oit>, in their do
nand for what is lawful and just
?ad tbue creating public opinion
have been enabled to secure for the
people more blessings than they
would otherwise enjoy. The news
papers have their faults; but count
ing all these In, tboy are llic best
protection the people have. They
are a police force, medical corps,
public, service hoard, city council,
board of education, all combined,
and the people of a city could
better fcvtir these than vh* o*??*pu
pers.
'/*<!*" There is no vanity about this
whatever. There is logic al1
through it. " The press leads, in
forms, inspires public opinion, mi l

Goodbye is a hard word to speak.
Sonne may laugh that it should be,
but let tlicm. Icy hearts srn never
kind. It la a word lliHl bun chok
ed many an utterance, and ?UriH
many a tear. The bund it* clasped,
the word is spoken, wo part, and
we are out on tlie ocean of time ?
we go to meet again, wliert? God
only knows. It may be Minn, it
may be never. Take care that y ?? u r
goodbye be not a cold one ? it may
be the last one you can give.

In a recent communication to one
of our papers in this state, Mr. VV
W. Finle^,' President of the Month
em Itailway Company, who in well
informed and baa made a careful
atudy of lb* subject, says :
"The construction of good roods
leading from a market town baa
practically the same eflfsct a* bring*
ing the farms nearer to the town. It
sitendii hy several mil?s in evOry di
rection the area of territory in which
farmer* can prnfltsbly engage in rnar
ket gardening and dairying That
thin Ih true baa been < fToctively dem
onstrated in those localities in the
KMitheru States and in otber sec
lions of I be conutry wbere road im
provcinents have been curried out in*
telligently and systematically.
The coat to the farmer of banMn^
his -products oyer poor roads ia not
alwsys appreciated, for the reason
that it in rare tbat a farmer pays for
having his hauling done The Uni
ted (States Department of Agricul
ture has made an investigation
thia matter, however, and th? results
show the coat for cotton, for instance
to be uti average rate of twenty sev
en cents per ton per mile for an uv
crsge haul of 1 1 8 miles. Tbat road
improvement would materially re
(bine this cost is shown by the fol
lowing striking st aliment in the
Year book <?f the Agricultural De
partment for 1906 :
?If it were possible to iucrease the
average weight of a ?Bgon loud of
cotton in l ho United State* from
three bates, as it now is, to four
halet*. with"Ut increasing the cost of
hanlinu the loud, the saving ??n u
crop iqunl to the one pinked in 1905
would amount to 92,000.(10(1; and if
tho average load of wheat, now fjf>
hflUhclg,*- w?*re increased by 20 bush
cIh, the saving effected in hauling ?t
crop bk?' that ? ? f 1905 would be more
than $8,000,000 * "
