V- FRIDAY. JUNE 23, 1899.
THE South African war will doubt less close up the Kimberly mines and I diamonds will become so expensive v- that even bar keepers and hotel clerks can no longer afford them.
Gov. ROOSEVELT vehemently attacks those Oroesuses who decry a college education, but the brutally frank admission of Sugar Havemeyer that he doesn't "care two cents about your ethics" indicates that there is not so much a conflict between education and V- wealth as there is between wealth and common conscience. i-

THE Hague conference will likely be barren of practical, tangible results, but it has focused the thought of the world on the ideal of peace, and when -4. a great many people start thinking along the same line and begin aspiring to a noble order of things something always happens to boost humanity up the road toward the millennium.
SECRETARY LONG takes a deep interest in the arrangements that are beintr made in Washington, and elsevrliijre, for the reception for Admiral Dewey when he returns. He told members of the committee which has been appointed by the commissioners of the District of Columbia, to arrange for the Washington reception, to write a letter to Admiral Dewey asking his wishes, and the navy department would forward it to one of the European ports at which he will stop, before starting to cross the Atlantic.
IT is reported that two or three Orawfordsville parties are violating the fish law regularly. This thing should not go unnoticed. The fish law iB a reasonable regulation and must be observed if we want the royal sport of the hook and line to continue. No true sportsman would violate the law and we trust the proper authorities will do their full duty by these men whose names we understand can be easily learned. One good prosecution' will be more effective than a hundred threats.
THE council iB considering a proposition to construct a combined Btorm and sanitary sewer. We believe that if an investigation is made it will be ascertained that the combined system pi
sewerage is completely out of date. Besides Orawfordsville has had enough Bewerage bv piecemeal. We have waited so long now that we can easily afford to wait until next year and then build a complete system of sewers ac cording to plans now on file. In the meantime deliver us from any more Jjatchei. .•J: THE first reciprocity treaty, under the Dingley law, has been signed by representatives of this government, and of great Britain. It is for the
British colony of Barbadoes. Treaties under this law have to be ratified by the senate and approved by the house before they go into effect. Negotiations are also pending for a similar treaty with the British colony of Jamaica, and another with France, and that with British Guiana is practically completed, all important points having been agreed upon. A commission from Bermuda is now on its way to Washington to negotiate a treaty.
HON OH TO SIMON YANDKS. Terre Haute Express- All honor to Simon Yandes, the grand old Presbyterian of Indianapolis, for his liberal
and progressive spirit and his practical, sensible views. He is a member of the "board of trustees of Wabash College and one of the generous benefactors of that institution. At the
meeting
of the board this week he ad
vocated receiving ladies as students on the same footing as gentlemen so that Wabash might reap the advantage that springe from co-education and extend its beneficent influences in the world.
He
was outvoted, but his po
sition is none the less creditable to himself as a progressive citizen, a man who estimates correctly the best public sentiment and is in sympathy with the spirit of the times. Mr. Yandes believeB in the young, and wants tc help them. He is the genuine, sincere friend of young women and wants to enlarge their opportunities. He is not young man, as we are accustomed to measure time, but he has managed to keep in touch with the living forces •nd sentiments rather than with the dead body of ecclesiastical conservatism, and hence, although a bachelor, •\V»ge eighty-five, he votes and works to give the girls a chance.
GliAVEL ROAD REPAIRING.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do almost everything, and actual experience is generally the best teacher as to good and bad ways to do things. THE JOURNAL has recently had a number of interviews with practical road repairers, and they all substantially agree that a system of constant attention is the only one that will inBure good roads at a minimum cost. Another thing about which they all agreed is that the material should be coarse gravel, that it should be put on the road side at convenient intervals, so as to be available at all times, and in all kinds of weather. And they all insist that the time, above all others for making the main repairs, is the spring of the year, when all faulty places can be readily found. If there is anywhere in a road, a place where the material is soft and easily cut through the spring thaw will disclose it. A chuck-hole will begin to appear, and just then is the time to put some new material at that point and at such time a wheelbarrow full of good gravel would usually suffice to repair and make hard, solid and smooth, a place that would later on, take a two horse wagon load to level up. One of the advantages of putting on gravel in the spring is, that it packs at once, and becomes hard and smooth. When the gravel is damp the wheel cuts through it and commences packiDg it at the bottom. Loose gravel falls in the track

cut, and is packed by
the next vehicle, and thus the gravel continues to fall in and become packed to the top, precisely as we pack around a fence post in setting it in the ground. In the fall of the year there is no trouble in getting teams to haul gravel, and in the spring, before farm work beginB, there is no trouble in getting the gravel put on the roads at such places as need a new supply of material. Under this process of repairs, the road bed is kept hard and smooth all the year round, and we not only save expense but have good roads all the time, and that is what the people pay road taxes for. We want to travel and haul easil-, and with expedition. There is notlvf||j more vexatious to a teamster or traveler than a road full of ugly chuck-holes. And since it is demonstrably cheaper tc keep these chuck-holes out of the road than to allow them to be there, why should they not be kept out? The system we are advocating has been tried effectually in the vicinity of Ladoga, and has now the endorsement of that whole region. Mr. Ed Bowers, of Parkersburg, was for Beven years superintendent of what is known as the Ladoga and Lebanon gravel road, and followed this plan all the time, and is satisfied by this long experience that it will not only insure good roads all the year round, but in the end cost much less than any other method. Mr. Robert Himes has also tried the plan on a road of which he is superintendent, and found it to result in a good, hard, even surface all the time. THE JOURNAL would like to 'hear from all who have had experience in gravel road repairing.
