Good Roads
and Convicts
about the Good Roads association. His advocacy of the use
of convicts in the building of highways did not meet with
the approval of some but when he told of the great bene-
fits that had resulted from the labor of these men he
came near converting the most obstinate. The state is
obliged to feed and care for the convict and if he can be
put out in the fresh air to work Instead of fretting his life
away behind the grim walls of a prison even the humani-
tarians must admit that some good has been accomplished.
Going further if these same men can be made to bring
about great good to a large portion of the community a
double purpose shall have been accomplished. Convicts
are state wards maintained at the expense of the people
and if some adequate returns can be had from the in-
vestment the community is entitled to it. In Colorado the
convicts are eager to do road work and some of the
finest boulevards in that state have been built by convict
labor.
Texas needs good roads and she has jails that are full
of men who would be glad to get out in God’s sunshine
and do* the work. Road work by convicts does not come in
competition with free labor nor does it work any hardship
on the farmer who is usually anxioua to pay his road tax
in money rather than in work. If some of the mawkish
sentiment is swept out of the way and the convict put
where he can do some good for himself and the state
Texas will soon be gridironed with fine highways.
It has been said in opposition to this plan that there
would be community jealousy but other states have over-
come this drawback and it does not seem impossible to
overcome it here.
Evidently Mr. Madero is now a man without a country.
If he has violated the neutrality laws of the United States
agd incited a revolt in Mexico he will have much trouble
In finding a place to lay his head.
The coming of Miss Ethel Leneve companion of Crippen
to the United States will not be looked upon with much
favor by the women of this country but should she go into
vaudeville as has been intimated there will be thousands
of horrid men willing to pay out good money to look upon
z her face. Nevertheless those who foist her presence upon
the womanhood of America are guilty of a gratuitous in-
sult.
The Light has from Eime to time called attention to some
of the inconbruous conditions in the schools of San An-
tonio. There are teachers in the schools of this city who
are teaching from four to seven subjects who receive less
wages than some of the janitors. Under conditions such
as these is it any wonder that the profession of teaching
is falling into disrepute in the southwest? If there ever
was a laborer worthy of his hire it is the school teacher
underpaid and usually overworked. Some of the professors
would be better able to support their families would they
wield a broom and duster instead of a pencil.
The next congress will probably make an assault upon
the tariff. Most of the democratic victories were on tariff
Issues and many of the new members are pledged to lower
the schedules. It is of course necessary to make many
changes but it is to be hoped that congress will not run
amuck and try to build from the ground up. Any student
of the Payne-Aldrich bill can in a day point out all the
unfairness in that measure and the attitude of congress
should be corrective rather than constructive. It is desired
that some of the swelling statesmen be held In check until
they have received their education. The tariff needs to
be fixed but it doesn't need the sort of fixing that some
of the “great’’ leaders seem to favor. Still under the most
/favorable conditions it looks bad for schedule K which
caused most of the riot.
The Lesson of
the Toll Roads
question of the general ad-
vance. They insist that they must have more money for
the service they are performing and they tell us that the
final determination of this question will settle the matter
of prosperity or depression in this country for years to
come.
The story of the toll roads in Kentucky and of the way
In which they finally gave place to free highways carries a
lesson of some value both to the railroads and the people
at this time.
Kentucky chartered her toll roads as early as 1797. For
a hundred years every man and beast who used them paid
their owners. They had been created by private capital. I
though often with generous subsidies from the public
treasuiy.
As time went on not only the necessities of the people
but their conception of popular rights underwent a grad-
ual change. The highway was a public utility vital to the
existence of the poorest man though he walked without a
cent in his pocket. The public came to see that the high-
way ought to be free to all.
Various attempts to regulate the monopoly proved futile.
The toll road owners were a power in politics. Still the
people chafed under private ownership of highways and
still they dreamed of the free highway open to the use
of all.
The acute stage of the controversy was reached in 1896.
The people declared that money which ought to be used
to improve the roads was paid out in dividends. Balked
in the courts they resorted to force. Night riders 'tore
down the toll gates burned the toll houses and tWrew the
roads open to the public.
The owners again appealed to the courts offering to sell
their interest in the roads at what they considered them
worth. The people insisted that the propery was worth
the price for which it'was assessed and nu more.
Then the toll road owners reap d what they had sown.
They had always kept down the valuation of the prop-
erty in order to avoid taxation just as the railroads have
done and are doing. In the end. which was reached only
1 few years ago. the people of Kentucky freed their high-
ways and the owners took what they could get.
The time has come when the railroads should deal
frankly with the people. They should open their books
letting the government Jinow what the property has cost
what it costs to operate it and the precise amount of their
earnings.
The railways. of today are merely public highways cov-
ered with lines of rteeL They are vital to the life of the
people '"heir owners have controlled the taxing power
the legislative power and even the power of the courts in
ord to protect their dividends. They may be sure of a
square deal when all th; people are concerned.

The spark has gone out now. Nothing remains but to
gather up the ashes.
No problem of life was left unfaced by this man and no
o-tttle unfought. He was mightily tempted in his youto.
and fell; but he rose scarred but unconquered.
He was the greatest soul of this time of ours. He was
great in div ers ways. He was perhaps the greatest of
novelists.
He was a great revolutionist in a time and nation when
not to be a revolutionist has been to be a coward or a cur.
He was so great thatithe autocracy h« hewed at dared not
touch him.
He was a great political economist. The politics of
Great Britain does today and that of the world in the fu-
ture in all nations must revolve about the right of man
to the use of the earth.
Tolstoi was a great religious teacher. He believed in
God. And he. while unorthodox as to the divine birth of
Jesus took childlike implicitness that was worthy of a
Christian of the time of Augustine or Chrysostom or of any
early Quaker. "Resist not to Tolstoi meant literal
non-resistance. He took the Golden Rule to mean that
no Christian no good man can possibly be willing to re-
main rich while other men are poor. He believed in the
purifying and justifying power of manual labor. He be-
lieved the peasants to be better than he or any member of
the privileged ciass could be and he lived their life with
them not to do them good but to learn of them and be
helpful by them.
He has bepi a great influence for good. He leaves
among his unorganized » and unorganizable followers an
army of teachers. Tolstoi was of the race of giants. When
he passes there will long be in the forest of thought a
great vacant space where a huge tree has fallen.
Our poor defenseless country is now going to hear an
awful lot from Champ Clark. Champ thinks he has
fought something and has already pre-empted the top
rail of the fence.

HUNTERS a 100100 if the stories told are true. O we'll
all be mighty happy when the Johnsing flag
is trailed and the conquering Caucasian wears the dia-
mond belt once more; but the sports are all discouraged
for so many hopes have failed and their bundles are dim-
inished and their hearts are sick and sore. And they
grope tor r. hope in the reams of sporting dope and
there’s nothing there to cheer them and their hearts are
sick and sore. There’s a wonder in Australia there's a
wonder in New York there's a howling son of Milo in
the T ear l of London town; they are grooming up a won-
der in the hopeful town of Cork and we surely should be
able t 3 pull Mistah Johnsing down. There are mighty
sluggers scattered from Los Angeles to Maine and they
all are simply panting to put Johnsing on the floor; but
the -ports are looking doleful and they have a yellow
pain and they’re spending wooden money and their hearts
are sicv and sore. O they grope for a hope in the reams
of sporting dope and see naught but selling-platers and
their liarts are sick and sore!

THE TOUCHING OF CAPTAIN BILL.
Captain Bill McDonald chief of the Texas rangers has
bsen ouched for a diamond by an ordinary pickpocket
some papers say. We ean't believe it. We prefer to be-
lieve ’hat Cap’n Bill was held up by a mounted pack of
bloodthirsty ruffians who although fifty to one were
given s terrible battle by the ranger chief. We want to
believe that when the last of his ammunition was gone
Captai l McDonald seized his horse by the tail and using
the anima' as a bludgeon waded into the enemy and
left about a score of them maimed and bruised alongside
the score that had passed before. And we think just as
our hero was about to seize the remaining dozen or so
derperadoes in his hands and strangle them he tripped
and fell over a Texas onion. Then ’we think and not
until then the bandits tied him. gagged him and relieved
him of his jewels.—Johnstown Democrat.

Observant Citizen
The violent gestures of a man and
a woman who seemed to be discussing
some personal grievance attracted tne
attention of a number of people in tne
postoffice corridor yesterday after-
noon. The gestures became violent
and the altercation had seemingly
reached a point where the disputants
might come to blows when a oy-
stander who-had observed it reported
the matter to Postmaster Stevens and
Deputy U. S. Marshal Anderson was
sent to quell the disturbance. Watcn-
ing the violent gesticulation of the
couple Anderson warily edged cl >ser.
Just as blows seemed imminent the
would-be preserver of peace advancs i
suddenly but upon closer observance
he noticed something peculiar about
the gestures which brought him to a
stop. He discovered that the man and
woman who were deaf and dumb were
engaged in an ordinary conversation
Anderson returned to Report the mat-
ter and then by the broad -smile* it

Texas Talk
HOGS IN Td|RN.
A Quanah lady who had a
number of chickens killed by
hogs this year calls the Tribune -
Chief's attention to the fact that
there are stray hogs in town and
asks: “Now what's the matter
since we have so many would-be
hunters in town men and boys
just itching to shoot at something
to turn them loose upon these
hogs?”
Nothing on earth so far as wc
can see. For one the T.-C. man
does not believe that our town is
the proper place to raise hogs in.
And if people want hogs near
their residences they should at
least be required to build pens
strong enough to keep them in
there. —Quanah Tribune-Chief.
Why not establish hog yard limits.
Nobody can graze cows in San Ai.-
tonio within cowbell limits except
friends of the manana mayor.
WHAT MATTERS.
But what matters it to the
Smith county farmer if the ins
are charging the outs with the
high cost of living and Walt
street is distressed by the terms
of the Sherman anti-trust act
and are saying prosperity can
not return until the act is re-
pealed and half the people think
Joe Bailey is the biggest fake and
the "other half think him the olg-
gest and greatest living man in
the world? What matters it we
say to the Smith county farmer
all these troubles and differenc-
es? He has money in every pock-
et. a little left on deposit with
his merchant and cotton piled up
in his back yard awaiting 15 cents
a pound.—Tyler Courier and
Times.
Ask the farmer if he Is contented
and he'll usually mention some few
changes in the universe that he would
like to haye made.

SEEING GHOSTS.
A morbid condition of the organs
of sense-'or of the mind aggravated
by a morbid state of ine organism
as under the influence of drink opium
or delirium. Is sufficient to invest our
mental conceptions with phantom
shape. Our thoughts vary according
to our emotions from faint mental
pictures to vivid and almost corporal
apparitions. The strength of these
sensational influences is naturally pro-
portionate to the susceptibility of the
nervous organism.
A consideration of these facts In
conjunction with the acknowledged
neuropathic tendencies of genius
seems to illumine many of the mys-
terious anecdotes with which the
names of great men and women are
associated. The hallucinations of Mo-
hammed and of Joan of Arc the ap-
pearance of his dying wife to Dr.
Donne in Paris and Luther's discom-
fiture of the devil by summary con-
tusion with a missile ink bottle to
mention but a few instances pro-
saically resolve into cases of abnor-
mal sensibility of the nervous system.
Who would learn with surprise that
Lucretius. Hawthorne or Emily
Bronte saw ghosts? It should rather
be an occasion for wonder that genius
is ever free from the visitations of
specters.—London Outlook. •
BEES CAPTURE A GROCERY.
E. J. Bouchard a grocer of Cohoes
had an exciting time with a swarm of
bees ir. his store Friday. Mr. Bouch-
ard had on hand 100 pounds of honey
and was attracted to the rear of his
place by the continual buzzing. Sev-
eral customers were in the store and
the grocer excused himself until ha
investigated. He was greatly sur-
prised to see the great swarm flitting
about his honey stock and for a few
minutes watched them come in and
go out through a small hole in a rear
window.
When Bouchard endeavored to drive
the bees away they retaliated and
succeeded not only in driving back
the grocer but in clearing the cus-
tomers out as well. The grocer vas
obliged to resort to a smoking process
to drive out his unwelcome visitors
and after they had gone he found that
but one or two of his boxes of honey
remained untouched. The bees had
evidently been working some time and
were buzzing their approval at the
completion of the job when the
grocer's attention was attracted.—
