Senator Swanson Introduces Measure
for Road Improvement.
Washington: The annual appropria-
tion of $20,000,000 for five years to
improve the post roads and rural de-
livery routes of the Government is
urged in the Senate by Mr. Swanson
. of Virginia. Contending that despite
the amazing achievements in many di-
rections by this country it is notorious
that the United States has the poor-
est public roads and highways of any
civilized Nation, he said:
Mr. Swanson explained that his plan
would open ‘more than 1,000,000 miles
of roads to Government aid; that the
States or’ local authorities would fur-
nish an amount equal to that appro-

City of Mexico, Mexico: On June 30
at the close of the fiscal year, Mex
loo’s reserve amounted to 63,070,001
pesos, according to a statement made
by Prdfcident de la Barra.
This Is something more than a mill
Hon more than was left -tn the Treae
ury by Limantour when he resigned
as Minister of Finance and was sue*
ceeded by Ernesto Madero. Since that
time the Government has expended the
greater part of two appropriations, one
for 8,000,000 and the other for 6,000,*
000 pesos, for the payment of expenses
Incurred as the result of the revolu*
tlon.
President de la Barra and Mdnlstei
Madero account for the apparent gain
of approximately 10,000,000 pesos not
by increased Income but by the adop-
tion of a policy of economy. A por-
tion has been saved by retrenchment,
but. by far the greater part by avoiding
unnecessary expenditure.

My youngest child is a very sensi-
tive little fellow, throwing himself
with complete abandon into every-
thing be does, and so eager to make
an Impression when he speaks that
he shouts everything ho says. After
much consideration there came to mo
an Idea of a way to correct this, so,
as a reply to a remark he made, I
asked, pitching my voice on the same
(key that ho had used, and raising it
Ito the same degree of loudness:
"What makes you scream so when
|you talk?”
Quick as a flash, he answered:
‘"Why, I don’t scream, do I, mother?”
And It was true for that time, for
be bad brought bis voice down, in
replying, to a well-modulated tone.
This question and answer were
many times repeated between us in
the same way, with the result of a
marked improvement on his part.
I have thought since that 1 stumbled
upon an important principle in child
training, to show children in varying
methods, as by a mirror, exactly what
their fault Is. For children love the
good; they have their standards of
what Is right and fitting that develop
as fast as their limited knowledge
will permit.
What Plato said of men applies to
little men and women, too: "Man
holds to the good and will not know-
ingly or willingly be deprived of <t-.”
They only need to have the good
dearly presented to them so they can
recognise 1L It is not fair to them
to assume that they are perverse,
when probably the trouble simply is
that they have not yet bad sufficient
chance to see the difference between
right and wrong.—Harper's Bazar.

Havana, July 7.—Attacks recently
made against President Gomez by a
newspaper which has shown much
opposition to the Administration are
apparently beginning to assume im-
portance. Congressman Andres, di-
rector of the newspaper, El Dla, chag-
ed the President with the accumu-
lation of a huge fortune during the
two years of his administration.
The President has issued a state-
ment giving an inventory of his es-
tate, which shows it to be of only
moderate dimensions, acquired prior
to his assuming office. The action is
deplored by his friends as weak and
undignified, and denounced by his
enemies as an attempt to cover cul-
pability. The result of the contro-
versy was shown in a host of disquiet-
ing rumors.
It was learned .on good authority
that there exists much uneasiness
among the rurales, of whom nearly
half are held in Havana as part of

Chicago: Prosperity throughout ths
country was Indicated by the renewed
activity along constructive lines by
the railroads and other large interests

orders for steel products have been

big steel mills have greatly increased
their working forces in order to han

mills were not working to capacity,
the output had been greatly Increased
