The law now prescribes that there shall be a road supervisor and that the able bodied men of the community must work on the roads' for a certain number of days a year. . This system dates back to the middle ages and before when the Lord of the Manor was the supervisor and the workmen were the peasants of the mark. The chief defects are that such work must necessarily be a process of patching up rather than of building. The process of patching has always been more expensive in the long run. This dumping of a load of gravel in a mud hole is alright for a time, but it does not do any permanent good. In many states there is up-to-date legislation on the subject which provides that the work shall be under the direction of the State Geologist and that regular workmen shall be employed. Curiously enough the forces of organized labor have never objected to the employment of convicts on roads. The convict is the most available workman for continuous work that we have. Inasmuch as most of the cost of a road lies in the manual labor, we could reduce the cost of our roads and at the same time really build continuous highways great avenues for traffic, rather than "township roads' by working prisoners upon them. To any one w ho has been in the habit of going from one town to another by road, the great difference between a highway such as the National Road and the small roads which terminate

in a barbed wire fence and a crop of weeds is very noticeable. The change in system from the patching to building lies in the above suggestions. Roads should be national in character, not local. There should be main trunk lines with tributaries rather than a maze of little picayune paths.

HOPING FOR THE BEST. Berkeley Hatton, who has been ivory hunting for a good many years, says: "Once Africa has laid her spell upon a man he's hers forever." We hope Africa may not lay her spell on President Roosevelt, for there are yet many things in America for him to do. Mr. Hatton in a paper contributed to Everybody's Magazine, describes the business of ivory hunting and gives a very fascinating account of his adventures, risks, hardships and privations. He reproduces a picture of one of his African helpers, who appears holding up an elephant tusk which is more than 10 feet long and worth nearly $2,000. He says there is good money in the business and for years his income has ranged from $10,000 to $20,000 a year. Choice ivory commands a price of $15,000 a ton. Of course the President has read all that Mr. Hatton has to say about Africa and the hunting of the wild beasts of the jungle, but he will not be tempted to take up elephant hunting as a business. He will make more money writing the account of his adventures than he could by hunting ivory at $15,000 per ton. According to Hatton it is not best to use smokeless powder, for the blacker the smoke made by the discharge of a gun, the safer the hunter is from the attack of a wounded animal. Hatton's story possesses special interest at this time on account of the projected excursion of President Roosevelt and his son into the haunts of the wild beasts of the African jungles. THE "WANT AD." A Michigan farmer sent a curious want ad to one of the Chicago papers yesterday with the following letter: "Gentlemen You seem to be able to get everything you advertise for. WTe want Rain. Michigan Farmers." Absurd as is this pleasantry, the same paper gives another account of a man who was saved from suicide by a want ad. His former employer and the paper itself looked into the matter and set him on his feet again. From these two illustrations in one day as well as the thousands of other cases which are going on every day all over the country the value of the want ad in any paper is demonstrated. The larger the paper the more service does the want ad do. In all the departments of the paper there is none more Important. Here is the market place of the world its employment agency and its detective service. The President says he has not reinstated the West Point cadets who were discharged for hazing. Somehow the impression has gone abroad that he disapproved of the finding in their case, but he says he has not reached any decision, and consequently they are out. They aught to remain out, for Congress has decreed against hazing, and public sentiment Is opposed to it. The President should not interfere in the course of justice, for although the hazing was not as serious as some cases have been, it was an infraction of the law, and if permitted to go unpunished, a precedent will be established that cannot be easily overcome. A prominent Jap touring this country says that we beat the world in handsome women, tall buildings and activity. Probably the Texas onion and the Georgia watermelon will be heard from later. A recent book depicting the American girl says she has an inordinate thirst for things unattainable. But there are a lot of grown up Americans troubled in the same way. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: "That Mexican lake of oil a mile wide, which has been burning five days, seems to be the only oil not controlled by John D. Rockefeller." The Liberal government of Great Britafn. instead of "ending the House of Lords," is mending it by sending to it Peers of the Liberal shade of politics. Some Prohibitionists are chafing because people persist in changing the name of the Cold Water candidate from Chafin to Chapin. It has been remarked that now if the De Sagans will get out of the limelight the world will gladly excuse them. FERRIS SUCCESSFUL. W. S. Ferris has been awarded the contract for placing the floors in the tents at the Chautauqua. He will start his men working next week. He also received the contract for erecting the tables in the refreshment stand of Mr. Hendricks of Dayton. Geohgiana: I don't like your cook book it doesn't recommend Gold Medai Flour. biou&ss.

HE MAY LOSE HIS OFFICIAL HEAD BECAUSE OF QUARREL WITH DIRECTORS.

T:l frXxitiX'cr' tew tP w

PRESIDENT M'CREA OF THE PENNSYLVANIA. McCrea is now engaged in a dispute with the directors of the big corporation over the replacing of hundreds of workmen to work. McCrea ordered them to suspend operations several months ago. They have since been idle. The directors say McCrea is working for the Democratic cause, and McCrea in turn says that the directors are working for the interests of the Republican party.

STATE CANDIDATES HOLD CONFERENCE Repuoiicans Cannot See Anything Ahead But Overwhelming Victory. THERE IS NO DISAFFECTION. SECRETARY TAFT IS GENERAL FAVORITE BRYAN CAN MAKE NO INROADS ON REPUBLICAN VOTE. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 7. Another council of war was held at republican headquarters yesterday afternoon by the nominees on the state ticket. Congressman James E. WTatson, candidate for governor, was not present owing to an engagement at Anderson, but he arrived here last night and met a number of party leaders. Freemont Goodwine who is making the race for lieutenant governor, returned yesterday from Colorado and was at the meeting. He has arranged to give his entire time to the campaign. He says that he visited a strongly democratic county yesterday and found conditions favorable to his party. He predicted that the republicans would carry the state by a comfortable plurality. Others who attended the meeting were Fred A. Sims, secretary of state; Oscar Hadley, treasurer of state; James Bingham, attorney-general; Frank Hester, representing Lawrence McTurnan, nominee for state superintendent of public instruction; Quincy A. Myers, nominee for supreme court judge; Will Hayes, chairman of the speakers' bureau of the state commit' tee and former Governor Winfield T. Durbin. Plans for the opening of the cam paign were discussed. Reports were received from the nominees who have been touring the state and attending organization meetings. It was stated at headquarters last night that the reports were more encouraging than any received at other meetings and that they indicate a feel ing of confidence among the party workers. Practically every man who attended the conference reported that there was no disaffection among the republicans against William II. Taft and that there was no prospect of Bryan making inroads in the republican party. Headquarters for the speakers' bureau were opened yesterday by Hayes who is now getting in touch w.th the spellbinders who will take an active part in the campaign. He promised Colonel Durbin that Speaker Cannon would be 6ent to Anderson for a big rally. It is said that Cannon will make six speeches in Indiana in September or October. WOMAN KILLS DARING LOVE NOTE WRITER. Shoots Him as He Tries to Climb Into Her Window. New York, Aug. 7. Mrs. Carmine Amere, a beautiful woman, shot to death Michael Mertella, her neighbor, early this morning, when the latter tried to climb through a window into her flat. Mertella had been annoying the woman with love notes. BIG LAND DEAL. Mrs. Cora Scott Buys Ingalls Farm, Paying $10,000. Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. 7. Mrs. Cora A. Scott has purchased of her sisters, Minnie Fair, and Grace M. Drischel, their interest in their parents' farm, southwest of this city. This is known as the Ingalls Farm, and consists of three hundred and thirtytwo acre. Consideration $10,000.

TAFT FREE OF THE BROWNSVILLE CASE

Blame for Dismissal of Troops Cannot Be Laid to Him. ARMY OFFICER SPEAKS. HE PLACES CREDIT OR BLAME FOR AFFAIR AT DOORS OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TAFT ACTS SQUARELY. Washington, D. C, Aug. 7. Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin, retired, who is taking an active interest in the candidacy of Judge Taft, has just returned from a week's stay in Ohio, his native state, where he endeavored to get an insight into political conditions. Last evening he discussed at some length Mr. Taft's alleged participation in the Brownsville affair. "My views, whatever they may be," said he general "are merely those of a private citizen now. I am no longer the lieutenant general of the army, but simply an old soldier with an honorable discharge after 45 years of service on the same footing with those of my comrades who served in the war for the union and attained their hon orable discharge after four years. Finds Negroes For Taft. "The colored vote about which so much has been said will be for Taft They fail to see in the democratic party anything that tends to give them citizenship, or equality, before the law. To their minds the democratic party is historically offensive. "Of course the Brownsville affair is going to be paraded in the campaign. Any credit or blame in that matter cannot in any way be laid to Secretary Taft. As a matter of fact Mr. Taft was not in Washington at the time, but was in the west on some important work connected with the department. And right here I want to remark that of all the men I have ever known Judge Taft knows the least about the exploiting of his efforts and letting the people know what he has done as a public official. "It is to his everlasting credit that he has never even to his most intimate friends hinted that the responsibility, blame or credit rested anywhere but in the war department, although the facts are that the order was the president's very own, made and executed by his immediate arid special direction, and for which he always stood.' "Secretary Wright, in not having the order revoked, is just as responsi ble for it as Secretary Taft, and there is none who will not say it would be absurd to place any responsibility on General Wright. "The fact is that the president, under the constitution, is the commander-in-chief of the army, and as such his powers are great wholly beyond the secretary of war or his subordinates to modify or qualify and it is but right that it should be so." HERE FOR NEGRO COLLEGE. Miss Grace Allen, financial agent for Eckstein Norton Institute of Cane Spring. Bullitt county, Kentucky, is in the city In the Interests of the Institution and will speak at local churches soon. This is one of the best known schools for colored children in the Southland.

POLITICS FIGURES IN M'CREA FIGHT

Charges of Bad Faith Made by Both Pennsy President And Directors. ILL FEELING CONFIRMED. CLAIMED FOR POLITICAL REASONS McCREA WILL NOT RESTORE MANY WORKMEN OF ROAD NOW OFF DUTY. Pittsburg, Pa.. Aug. 7. The story of exceeding great friction between President James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania Railroad and some of his directors has been practically confirmed here. The tale told in Pittsburg is that the directorate of the Pennsylvania some time since suggested that McCrea "losen up" that he set all the workmen who were laid off some time since back to work on the road, giving at least the air of prosperity. This President McCrea has positively refused to do. saying that conditions do not warrant this. In ad dition, it is said, McCrea has just completed arrangements for laying off 4,000 more men between Pittsburg and Philadelphia within the next few days. Some of the directors of the Pennsylvania accuse McCrea of being careless of the interests of the corporation, seeking to assist the democratic party at the coming election bv making matters on the great Pennsylvania railroad appear worse than they really are. On the other hand, friends of McCrea accuse the Pennsylvania directorate of seeking to further the interests of the republican party at this time by making a false showing of the great Pennsylvania railroad alleging prosperity which the head of the road does not think exists. This, according to certain wise interests, is the condition as it rests today. MURDERER CAUGHT Man Who Frightfully Cut Up Body of Chicago Boy Is in Custody. THE BOY WAS A SYRIAN. Chicago, Aug. 7. Following the identification of the remains of a bov found in Mud lake and adjacent ponds and waterways as that of Tuffa Shi shin, a Syrian, the police last night ar rested a Syrian, Joseph Has son, on the charge of murder. Hassrvn was arrpsted of Vn in - - . . " - i. fc. n 11, . , v. V' Mather street, and in his room the police found a blood-stained garment. several bloodstained saws and an ax. The body gave every indication of having been dismembered with such in struments. The police charge that Hasson is a moral pervert Boy Found The Remains. Developments have came rauidlv in this case. On Tuesday the detectives were called to Mud lake, a Dond which formed in the old bed of a branch of the Chicago river when the waters of the river were diverted to the drain age canal. Here boys had discover ed the lower limbs of a human belne severed at the hips and at the knee and with one of the feet missing. The grewsome relics when found were wrapped in an old shirt and a newspaper of July 29. The victim was then supposed to nave been a woman, but the dlscov ery of the torso the following day In the drainage canal, a mile distance upset this supposition. Every Greek detective In the city was put to work on the case in the belief that a Greek lad, a victim of the padrone system had been summarily dealt with b some countryman aeainst whom the boy had testified in the recent cases brought by the government to wipe out the "Greek slave" trade. Yesterday boys swimmine in Pel lett's Pond, half a mile from the canal and having no connection with it, discovered the head which was removed to the morgue and placed with other portions of the body. With the body thus restored It was possible to for mulate a close description of the bo The theory that more than one man had a hand In disposing of the body is Dasea on the distances separating me tnree spots where various portion of the body were found. On mur it is declared, would not have had the time nor the hardihood to have done the work unaided. WILL GO CAMPING. A camping party that will take u the simple life near Cold Spring nex week will be composed of Elmer Eggemeyer, John Starr. Joe Hill, Ramsey Poundstone and Linus Meredith. The fish need not be afraid an the squirrels will livo in safety, but the farmers had better loek the chicken coop doors and put guards about the corn fields until the party leaves it is claimed by a few or their friends. The fact that the county sheriff is la the party will not deter the others from attempting successful raids it is asserted.

' from sight as quickly as possible. Closing the door of his smoking room behind him, David Cable dropped wearily into a chair without removing his hat or coat. His blood was running cold through his veins, his jaw was pet and his eyes had the appearance of one who has beeu daied by a blow. For many minutes he sat and stared at the andirons in the ember lit grate. From time to time he wallowed painfully and his Jaw twitched. Tblngs began growing black and green before his eyes. He started up, with an oath. He was consumed by the fires of jealousy and suspicion. The doubt that had found lodging in his mind so recently now became a cruel certainty. Into his grim heart sprang the rage of the man who Muds himself deceived, despised, dishonored. He was seeing with his own eyes, no doubt, just what others had sera for months had seeu and had pitied or scorned him as the unfortunate dupe. With the thought of it he actually ground bis teeth; tears of rage and mortification sprang to his eyes. He recalled his own feelings In Instances where shame bad fallen upon other men; he recalled his own easy indifference and the temptation to laugh at the plight of the poor devils. It had never entered his mind that some day he might be the object of like consideration In others more or less fortunate, according to their friends. By the time dinner was announced he bad succeeded in restoring himself to a state of comparative calmness. He did not dress for dinner, as was his custom, nor did he stop to ask Frances Cable If she were ready to go down. He heard Jane playing the piano as he descended. She nodded to him, but did not stop, and he paused near the fireplace to look at her strangely. Somewhere back in his brain there was struggling, unknown to him, the old time thought that this child bore him no likeness whatsoever. lie only knew he was crushing down the fear that evil or slander or pain might come to her If he were rash, yet just. He was wondering If he could face his wife without betraying himself. "3ane played sofTly. llfel'essTy. " She, on the other hand, was wondering what Graydon would think or say if she spoke to him of what she had seen. She wondered If he would blame her mother as she was beginning to blame his father. "Mother won't be down to dinner," Bhe finally said. "Is she 111?" he asked after a moment. "She is lying down. Margaret will take some tea up to her." Father and daughter had but little to say to each other during the meal. Their efforts at conversation were perfunctory, commonplace, an unusual state of affairs, of which neither took notice. "You look tired, father. Has It been a hard day?" "A rather trying one, Jane. We're having some trouble with the blizzards out west Tying up everything that we are rushing to the Philippines." "Is it settled that you are to be made president?" "It looks like it" There followed a long silence. "By the way, I have good news for you. Mr. Clegg told me today that they are going to take Graydon into the firm. Isn't It great? Really, it is quite remarkable. You are not the only person, it seems, who thinks a lot of that boy." "A partner? Really? Oh. Isn't it glorious? I knew be could I told him he'd be a partner before long." She waited a moment and then added, "His father was here today for a cup of tea." Cable caught the slightly altered tone and looked up. She was trifling with her fork, palpably preoccupied. "I'm I'm sorry I missed him," said he, watching her closely. "You like him very much, don't yoa. father?" "Certainly, and I'm sure your mother does." The fork shook in ber fingers and then dropped upon the plate. She looked up in confusion. Cable's eyes were bent upon her intently, and she had never seen so queer a light In them. Scarcely more than the fraction of a second passed before he lowered his gaze, but the mysterious telegraphy of the mind had shot the message of comprehension from one to the other. He saw with horror that the girl at least suspected the true situation. A moment later he arose abruptly and anounced that he would run up to see her mother before settling down to some Important work in his den. "Graydon is coming over tonight she said. "We'll be very quiet and try not to disturb you. Don't work too hard, daddy dear." Upstairs Frances Cable was battling with herself in supreme despair. Confession was on her lips a dozen times, but courage ailed her. When she beard his footsteps In the hallway she was ready to, cry out 'ie truth to hira and end the suspense. As be opened the door to enter t spirit of fairness turned frail and fled before the appeal of procrastination.

Her thoughts were of another was his quick conclusion as he fled from her presence before the harsh accusations could break from his eyes. la his den once more, with the door closed, he gave himself up completely to black thoughts. He recalled his words to her. uttered years ago, half In jest and half In earnest He bad horrified her beyond expression by telling her how be would punish a wife if be were the husband she deceived. With a grim, lurid smile he remembered the penalty. He had said he would not kill; he would disfigure the woman frightfully aud permit her to live as a moral example to other .wives. He now felt less brutal. He might kill, but he would not disfigure. For an hour he sat and wondered wbtt had been the feelings of his old friend George Drlscoll just before he deliberately slew his faithless wife. II remembered saying to other friends at the time that Drlscoll had "done right" This night of black shadows he did not sleep at all was really the beginning of the end. He forgot the presidency that was to be handed out to him. He forgot everything but the horrid canker that gnawed into his heart and brain. Day and night be writhed in silent agony, a prey to the savage jealousy that grew and grew until it absorbed all other emotions. Scandal, divorce, dishonor, murder, swept before the mind of this man who had been of the people and who could not condone. The people kill. For a week he waited and watched and suffered. What be knew of men told him that they do not devote themselves to the wives of others with honorable motives behind hem. He convinced himself that ht knew the world; be had seen so much of it The man aged years In that single week of

jealousy and suspense. His face went haggard; bis eyes took on a Strang gleam; bis manuer was that of a man In grave trouble. Day after dey this piteous, frenzied man who swayed thousands with his hand stooped to deal wtth the smallest movements of one man and on woman. Despite his most Intense desire to drive himself Into other and higher channels, he found himself skulking and spying and conniving with but on low end in view. He employed every acute sense la the effort to Justify his suspicions. Time and again he went borne at unusual hours, fearing all the while that he might Incur the pain of finding Baaaemer there, ne even visited the man fn hls'bfficeraiways rejoicing' inTthe fact that he found him there at the time. He watched the mall in the morning; he planned to go out of nights and then hurried home deliberately, but unexpectedly. Through It all he said no word to Frances Cable or Jane. He asked no questions, but he wasr being beaten down by apprehensions all the while. Ills wife's manner convinced him that all was not well with ber. She avoided being alone with him. keeping close to her room. He detected a hundred pretexts by which she managed to escape his simplest advances. At last, overwrought by the strain, he began to resort to cunning this man who was big enough to have gone from the engine cab to the president's office. It required hours of struggle with his fairer, nobler nature to bring himself low enough to do trickery, but the natal influence mastered. He despised himself for the trick, but he would know the truth. The late afternoon mail one day brought to Mrs. Cable a brief letter, typewritten both Inside and out David Cable saw ber open and read the missive, and be saw ber trembling hand go to ber throat and then to ber temple. Her back was towsrd bim. Tie could not see her face until she turned, a full minute later. Then It was calm and undisturbed, but her eyes were brilliant He ground bis teeth and tore upstairs without a word. David .Cable had stooped low enough to write this letter, and be was paying for it He knew the contents far better than she knew them. The letter purported to be an urgent appeal from James Bansemer. asking her to meet him at 8 o'clock that night It said: I must see you tonight Leave your hom at S o'clock for a short call on Mrs. W.. Just around the corner. I wlU mwt you acroaa tha Drtva. near tha aea, wall. It Is quite dark there. J. David Cable did not know that earlier in the afternoon James Bansemer had called her up by phone to say that he Intended to speak to his son the following day unless word came to him from her, nor could he have possibly known that she was now determined to tell the whole story to her husband and to trust to bis mercy.
