AS LABOR SEES IT. There is a great deal of talk in these days of the possible effect of the local option issue on the conilbg campaign tn this connection It is interesting lo read an editorial in “The Union” a labor paper published in Indianapolis. Says the Union: Do the State Committees think that there are no serious matters to he looked after? Do they take all laboring men as the offscourings of earth who think more of a gin-tizz than they do of their families? Will Sunday baseball purify the air of the factory or protect the life and limb in the mine? Will a pretzel and a pale bottle give sure compensation for a broken back or send the orphan to school when "dad'’ has been crushed into a pulp in a railroad wreck? Will a "tilted lid” cure the evils of convict labor or relieve the wrongs of child labor? Will a "wet" spot in a "dry” county give us the right to vote on franchises and recall unworthy officials who neglect public duties? Doesn't this committee think that, the young man who tolls through the day thinks of mother and her little brood of half orphans rather than her “whose feet take hold of hell.” IaR the parties understand that it will not make a difference of one thousand votes in the whole State whether they advocate a city and township option or a county option. (Let these gentlemen understand that organized labor elected what Democrats were elected two years ago and that the rights of the toiler must be protected and be protected first and that no other issue must be raised as paramount to their rights to live and rear their children under conditions which all honorable men ought to enjoy.” We believe thoroughly thai the liquor question should be given a rest. That it should stay out of politics till the people put It in and that both the brewers and the Anti-Saloon League should keep hands off and stop their "campaigns of education" which are hut Campaigns of trouble breeding and disturbance. Let the liquor question rest and get busy with some of the serious problems of the time. Let both the Brewery Literature and the AntiSaloon tract be taboo for the coming campaign and session.

Rqads*^ ROADMAKING^St

A GOOD ROADS BOOM.

Present Impulses Toward Their Building Lever Equalled. There lias been manifested in the several States of the East and South, the past year, an impulse toward the construction and maintenance of good roads, that has never been equalled in the past and that Is likely to gro.v as the years come and go. In almost every one of the older commonwealths there has been an awakening to the economic value of such improvement Perhaps the multiplication of automobiles has been one of the Impelling causes of this larger movement bu. the farmers and all others Intereste. in local transportation have taught its spirit, aud have come to realize that business as well as pleasur would be promoted by the e.: tabllsbment of those conditions toward which ft tends. When a husbandman masteis the simple calcuia tlon that because a span of horse" can draw- twice as much over a good road as a poor one he is therefore getting twice as much service at u additional expense, he is pretty sur*to give his approval and support to the enterprise. Almost every State along the Allan tic slope h is taken action within tin past year looking to the betterment of its hir iwavs. Although .'assachu “c"s hi 1 , been a leader in this rc pci t for a i; i* 'ii i " .-cars, the new d ill).. n of a percentage of the ap proprlation made for this purpose among tie small towns is hound tc show ma erial Improvement In a ver> short time It will not give all sec lions such roads as the highway com mission constructs for demonstration purpo es yet it will Inevitably raisethe general standard and stlmula i local interest to a larger extent in this form of improvement. New Hamp shire has projected a decided advan e in this respect by taking steps tc build three trunk highways through the State New York has bonded her self for millions for a like purposeand the result will doubtless promote her Internal interests to a greater extent than her barge canal and at a much earlier date. By much pressure the governor of Pennsylvania succeeded in having authority given by the recent Legislature for the construe tlon of a great highway between the prim 'mil cities of the State, represenlug the eastern and western halves With her comparatively limited re sources. Maryland has appropriated millions for this purpose and in cou junction with West Virginia has ar ranged for a highway that will be s revelation to the people of those Slates. Siiuihr action, even If on a less ex tended scale, might be Instanced tn other States. but, comparative!:: --peaking. Georgia seems to have gird ed up her loins for the most signili - ant advance in the whole sisterhood.

Bad Roads a Tax. Bad roatis are an extravagance that no farming community can attord jii. t wn.it they cost in unnece^sar) expense it takes but a moment to de let mine. A team und driver is reasonably worth $.i.0tt n day, und by the use ol the i 1 it is possible to deliver to mar ket, from your home, 100 bushels o! corn. Hauling over good roads, the cost of delivery Is three cents pot bushel. But, if in consequence o. bud toads but fffiy bushels enu hi delivered, the cost is doubled and tbt different e is whut the Impassablt ru ds io- t you. Coutinue this calculu lion, applying it to the hauling ot all of your crops and It quickly be conies apparent tiiat it amounts to s teiy burdensome tux.

The French Method. The excellence of the French roaf is due nut to the superior quality ol the material used In their construe Hon. as the same materials exist most everywhere, or to the perfection oi the French method of construction for their roads are built according t< the Macadam plan, which is als< used In this country, but to the su l et -rity of the French method of ad ministration, which places all road: nrdi-r constant and Intelligent super vision.

PARIS, MARSAILLES AND MONTECARlO

(Continued from First I'ageJ

T V va l , i*" °f commercial fertillzen depends on their containing the ele meats which the aoll needs

under the shade of a tree or trees, eat the lunch they had brought with them, and then they lay down and slept until time to go to work again; at times we saw from 30 to 40 of these farm workers gathered in the shade, eating their lunches or taking their noon day nap after eating. Over a stretch of country north and south of Dijon we saw small patches of corn growing and the sight was a reminder of home. u Another homelike sight was as we speeded down the bank of the Rhone 1 saw a side-wheel steamer towing a string of heavily laden barges up the river, aud the name of this side-why-eler was "Missouri." One of the old villages we pass ed through that had the appearance of anti dating the ark, was Maruais; 1 think that Is the way the name is spelled; it was a cluster of rubble stone houses of autique contour, built around about au old monastery that had almost crumbled away. On the line of our travel we passed through the city of Acignon, celebrated because of its antiquity, its beauty and also because at one time, for a long aeries of years it was the home of the I’ope of the Church of Rome. This was during the time of the great schism in the church, when thete were two popes, one In Rome and one in Avignon, covering the years between 1378 and 1418. The old palace is now used as a barrack. We arrived at Marsaillea late at night and had difficulty in regard to a hotel. We had sent word ahead for the porter of tne hotel we had chosen to meet us at the train, but he did not show up and we were in a strange city and knew not where to tind food and shelter. After pantomime we were iixed for the night and slept the sleep of the weary. In the morning we stirred about to S'-e the sights of the city, founded by the Greeks B. C. 000, and retains to this day much of the Grecian iu its make up. The one great sight of the city is the church Notre Dame de la Garde, which stands on the top of a hill lowering hundreds of feet above the level of the city, and its tower is finished in a golden statue of the Virgin resplendent in gold. There are also splendid sea baths —areas of the Mediterauean sea. surrounded by stone walls, of divers depths, in which the bathers were having a good time. jDeaving Marsaillcs our next stop was at Nice. At this time of the year this city is very quiet, as it is out of the "season” Enroute we passed throuish great olive orchards— the foliage of the olive tree is a beautiful green not often found in nature's handiwork. There were no olives on the trees, as the fruit does not set on them until July, and the olive harvest is late in October, and in November. The Magnolia trees are in full bloom, and the perfume of the blossoms is verysweet; no other floral odor is at all similar. The orange trees are laden with fruit and peaches aud all sorts of flowers und bloom bearing shrubs aud trees are everywhere In sight. One of our traveling companions, while walking along the street, was accosted by a stranger with: "You are an American, are you not?” The answer was in the affirmative, and the stranger continued by informing our friend that he had been iu Switzerland in crossing the frontier, at the Custom House, the porter -who carried his suit case to the custom house for inspection had gotten and returned to him the wrong suit case, and he had thereby lost his letter of credit, his clothes, etc., and ended by asking for a loan of $3 or $4. We advised him to interview the American Consel and tell his tale of woe. As a matter of fact I believe he was a confidence man but he failed to work his graft on this particular gang of innocents abroad. Talking with an American In I the hotal today, we made mention of fact, everywhere made evident, that the people, both natives and tourists, seem to have forgotten that there was such a thing as water to drink, and in the ensuing conversation he said: "Well, the fact of the matter is that there is a tale told to all

tourists that the water here is not good, and that there is danger of sickness by the use of it, hut as a matter of fact there Is plenty of good water here, but the natives know, and the tourists are easily convinced that wine ia a d—m sight better. There you have the situation in a nut-shell. Leaving Nice we "booked ' by rail for Monaco and the worlds greatest gambling resort Monte Carlo. We did not leave the train at Monaco because we wished to avoid the unpleasant experience of interviewing the custom house officers. Arriving at Monte Carlo early in the afternoon we hunted up a tavern that was not patronized by multi-mil-lionaires, aud were soon pleasantly located. After a "bauth" aud a brushing up we started out to beard the lion in his den but prior to visiting Casino, where the gambling goes on, we rode about tbe city, and "footed it” also, to see the sights of this wonderful principality. Be it known that this is supposed to be, iu area, the smallest principality on the civilized globe, it is composed iu the main of the city of Monaco and the city of Monte Carlo, aud there is not another place that we have ever visited, that can show in the same area such wealth of buildings, such wealth of trees and iiowers, and such wealth of beautiful scenery. The cities form an amphitheatre around about a beautiful bay of the Medlteranean eSa. They are cities of palatial hotels and private villas. The headquarters of the government, together with the palace of the Prince of Monaco, the barracks, government buildings are in the city of Monaco, and are located on a sight possibly a thousand feet above most of the surrounding country. We took lunch at the Restaurant Grarade, within sight of the Prince’s Castle on the one hand and the blue waters of the Mediteranean on the other, aud paid one franc and a half for a cup of coffee, but the coffee was good. After seeing the sights of Monaco we returned to Monte Carlo, hied away to the Casino, where we were received at the door by a bunch of blue uniformed men, their coats, pants and hats garnished with gold braid and gold cord; one of them, with a most profound bow, and a wave of the hand, invited us to the office, where we were greeted by another lot of similarly decorated attaches of the place. One of them asked us for our credentials, not necessarily for use, but as a protection in case we might need identification, and we presented our letters of credit on a city of London bank. Immediately a card was issued to us giving us entry to the Casino, gambling rooms, cafe, etc., said card being good for self and wife, but one daughter, being a minor, could not be admitted to the gambling quarters aud a different card of admission was given to her. She was entertained in the library and the reading room, with other minors while we of riper years went where we could and we saw what we could. Right here let me state that I am not "the man ho break the bank at Monte Carlo lo.” We simply took in the sights and did not tackle the tiger in his den. We watched the various games and as we gazed and our eyes "bulged” until, without any doubt, an overcoat or a suit of clothes could have been hanged upon them. The betting was done in gold pieces, in Bank of France notes and silver dollars, aud those who bet got quick action on their ventures. At all the games their were more women than men playing, and the players were of all ages, from 21 years up to 75 years. The dealers In the different games did their stunts with the cards and with the marbles in a quiet and skillful manner, saying what they had to say in a monotonious manner and with the regularity of the pendulum of a grandfather's clock. The players were the attraction, however. In that the faces of novices betrayed their joy or sorrow, as they won or lost, while old timers bet, and won or lost without the batting of an eye, the twitching of a muscle or the least change of expression, and this to, when the turn of a card or the pocketing of a marble meant to them the loss at a single venture of $500 or possibly $1,000. There is no limit In the games—you can bet all you have at a single hazard, or you can bet only a few dollars at a

time.

The furnishinks and

appoint-

beautlful In nature can make them Virtually the entire principality of Monaco is supported from the earnings of the Casino. J he * JU lice, the army, the civil officers, and the entire expense of govern- | ment comes from the world of Innocents who come from all quartera of the globe to woo the goddess fortune at this, her most noted shrine. Not only pla>eis, but bodies of myriad of suicides who take their lives here because of despondency or mania caused by financial ruin brought by in-

dulging in gambling here, are cared for and given care at the expense of the govrnemut. c friends or relatives do not claim and care for them. Report is that while siflcldes are taken as a matter of fact here, the crime of murder is of rare occurrence. The story goes that some yeats ago a man was convicted of murder here aud sentenced to death by the guillltlne. The day of execution was fixed and as it drew near the authorities first realized that it did not own a gullltlne; Investigation developed the fact that to erect one would cost a great deal of money, and the Prlma told his law uffii ials to borrow one for the occasion Effort was made to secure ike loan of Instrument of death, but without success, aud the officers were up against a stiff proposition They had not the tool necessary to behead the criminal according to the sentence of the court; the ruler of the principality had forbidden the expenditure of money necessary to secure this tool, aud effort to borrow one had failed. The officers, as a last tesort, appealed to the Prince for relief from their delema and he took the only way out; he sentenced the men to imprisonment for life It soon became evident that the expense of keeping the prisoner would soon amount to more than his execution would have cost, and the Prince, to avert this continual drain on his treasury, fimtlly granted a pardon to the murderer, and told him to hunt greener fields and pastures new outside the boundaries of his realm. As I sit in my room at the hotel and look out upon Monaco Bay there lies at anchor, almost within a stone’s throw, a beautiful steam yacht, all a glitter with brass mountings and painted snow white, flying the Stars aud Stripes It Is a regal home on the sea, and 1 have endeavored to learn the owner's name, but without avail. 1 simply desired to know that I had no personal acquaintance with the owner; he Is simply over here for fun, to spend money and to revel In the excitement of taking long risks In the gambling line—I feel assured, however, from the developments of the day, that whether he bets hundreds or thousands, he will get quick action on his ventures, and as the odds against are held by experts to be at the ratio of seven to three. fWe leave Were tomorrow, in direction of Genoa—we may make stops at Menton! and San Remo, but have not yet fully decided. There is so much to see and so little time to see it In, that our discussions to stop or hike ahead are made on the run F. A. A

A 1 imely Reminder. i he motion of closed street cars has £ d.sag: et ahle effect on some children At least, it usually does on little Emily lor almost invariably when she has ridden a (ew squares In them : he becomes dizzy and faint and the only 1 "Uef is to signal the conductor aud be let off. One day, however, It did not happen so Indeed, Instead of Emily being so affected by the car's motion it was her little brother, who when the cat had bowled along a short distance began to pale aud shows beads of cull 1 sweat. When frequent glances at his sister failed lo reveal her to be iu this same uncomfortable state the designing youngster, unable to bear it longer, leaned toward her and said, faintly: Emily, it’s time for you to get sick aud be let off, isn’t it?"

Tea Cigarettes. The women of Paris have discovered a new method of atlmulatin in the tea cigarette. To make one about as much tea is required as would make two strong cups of tea. As many Paris women are reported to be smoking on :;n average ten a day. it is easy lo see why the doctors should t* taking measures to nip the fashion in the bud. They describe It as a horilhly easy method of stimulation aud -ure to undermine the strongest constitution in a few months.
