A Wayne Township Road. Yesterday there were two farmers in Richmond circulating a petition for improving a road in the- northeastern section of the county under the provisions of the three mile gravel road law. Both explained to those whose signatures they sought that they realized the three mile gravel road law was an unfair one, and that they had failed in an attempt to have the board of county commissioners make a small appropriation which the property owners directly benefitted could use to construct the highway themselves, so they had been compelled to resort to the only method available to secure the highway improvement that statute which has done more to raise taxes and drive townships to the limit of their legal bonded indebtedness than any other law now in effect in this state. The road in question will now be improved for a distance of three miles at a cost of fo.OOO a mile, and every taxpayer in Wayne township will be assessed for its construction, those not even indirectly benefitted contributing as much as the taxpayers living along the road. This injustice would not have been necessary, say the men who are circulating the petition for the improvement, had the county commissioners agreed to make an appropriation of $1,500 to be used by the property owners directly benefitted, just one-tenth the amount which will be required to make the improvement under the three mile gravel road law. Of course a better road will be put down under the provisions of the three mile act and the contract for the improvement will be given to experienced road builders, but what is the use of constructing expensive highways in this or any other county so long as the state does not provide for the upkeep of its roads under the supervision of experienced road builders?

SENTENCE TO JAIL
THE WOMAN TEMPTED ME." "Sixty-nine per cent of the Inmates of a 'western prison," , says a recent writer, "say that they were led to commit crime by the extravagance of their wives." , Balderdash I Within the limits of a reasonable probability It may be stated that 6S per cent of that 69 are unconscionable liars. There's' Adam, for Instance. Scarcely can there be a doubt that our valiant forbear lusted after that forbidden fruit until his mouth watered over the thought of Its succulence. And, after be had hypnotized Eve to the point of plucking away the apple, he laid the entire blame oa her frail young shoulders. "The woman thou gavest me, she tempted me." And the males of lineal descent from Adam to now have followed the like excuse. Now It must be admitted there are some silly. Improvident and extravagant wives. And it may be that some husbands of weak brain stuff have indirectly been driven to the commission of a crime by the sort of wife who insists upon spending more money than her husband earns, but The excuse Is a frayed one. . The reasons why a man gets drunk are varied. He gets drunk because he wants to drink, or because somebody Invites him. or because he has made a
bad Investment, or because he Is mad at somebody, or just because. Under the Influence of the liquor he commits a crime. Whereupon, having been brought to bay, he whines abjectedly concerning his "wretched domestic affairs" and avows that be was driven to the crime by the extravagance or the nagging or the unfaithfulness of his wife. Mostly such charges are libel. Exceptions aside, more men than women are extravagant. And the average wife will undergo more personal sacrifice for the sake of the family than the husband. And. exceptions aside, wives are more faithful than husbands. The woman, however, Is made the scapegoat for the husband's sins. That husband who seeks to hide his frailties behind a woman's petticoat is nXstly not merely a liar, but a coward as well. v
Why There is a Postal Deficit Postmaster General Hitchcock in a recent report blamed the franking system extended to United States legislators for the failure of the post office department to show a profit during the fiscal year of 1912. The report states that during the fiscal year of 1912 more than 300,000,000 pieces of mall, having an aggregate weight of about 31,000,000 pounds were carried by the postal service free of charge under the franks of congressmen and of various congressional departments. Postage at prevalent rates on this mass of matter, much of which, says the postmaster general, was campaign material, would have amounted to more than $20,000,000. Mr. Hitchcock holds that it is unfair to saddle the department with this debt and has recommended that the use of franking be discontinued. How well the house of representatives plans to follow out this excellent suggestion of Mr. Hitchcock, who has been one of the best postmaster generals this country has ever had, is shown by a news dispatch which announces that the agricultural bill, just introduced, makes a larger appropriation for free seeds than ever before. Every congressman will "get his" and the mails will soon be swamped with franked packages of garden and flower seeds. Indiana's fifteen representatives in congress will send out, or can if they so desire, 1,650,000 seed packages to their constituents. Indiana, according to the last census, had a population of a little more than 2,700,000. Our glorious commonwealth should be one great combination flower and vegetable garden this year. But, perhaps, Mr. Hitchcock is not so much disturbed over the practice of franking seeds as he is over the precedent established by a southern solon of franking home his household goods.

William R. Nelson, editor of the Kansas City Star, considered one of the foremost newspaper publishers of the country, who was sentenced to one day in jail for contempt and escaped his penalty after a most dramatic suspense, during which his attorney made pleas to sheriffs, judges and court officers, etc. A habeas corpus was finally secured and appeal won the editor a week's stay. He is charged with having published n his paper a statement that the court, on the advice of a "payed attorney" had granted divorce attorneys their fees "and left a woman who sought alimony to starve."

She took his arm,- t'ua they went out together to whe"J there was assistance, of course, and the man was immedlatelj.jt under arrest.
