Amply Safe and Sane
The extra session of Congress
just ended lbipiebsed upon fair
minded men of all political parties
the fact that the Democrats are
amply safe and sane. They will,
when given a larger measure of
power, acquit themselves with credit.
meeting courageously the obligations
imposed upon them by the conn
dence of voters who Lave lost confi
dence in a party too long accustom
ed to conquest and spoils to be either
forbearing or discreet, and discnarg
ing the duties of public service in a
workmanlike manner and conscien
tiously.
Assertion is always easy and ar
gument is disburdened of many difli.
culties when there is an absence of
scruples. The liepublican cry that
there were no safe and sane Demo.
crats was a good enough Morgan till
after the last election of Representa
tives, That election made a pro
testing minority a responsible major
ity. It put Mr. Clark, of Missouri
into the shoes of Mr. Cannon, of
Illinois, to wear with distinction tbe
footgear of a long line of speakers,
among; whom were many men of
conspicuous ability.
Tbe extra session demonstrated
the poise of the Democrats. It
proved their conservatism and their
cohesiveness. It greatly disnomhted
the "standpat" Republicans who
had been unable to stem the tide of
popular disapproval of the motives
and methods of their party under
their domination. It left to such
insurgents as did not lose their
bump of locality and sense of direc
tion and .bunder hopelessly in the
Hood, the cold consolation ( f swim
ming with the Representatives of
the party that alone held out hope
while ''insurgency" could only regis
ter disliKe of Republican rule and
"insurgents" could only advertise
themselves and advance their person
al intereets by their party irregu
larity. Mr. Clark ig well within the
bounds of truth when he says that
the Democratic record "has put
heart and hope into Democrats
everywhere." That it "surprised
our friends" is possibly an exaggera.
tion, but that it "dumfounded our
enemies" is indisputable. The lead
ers showed unquestioned ability to
handle public questions and Eo've
national problems. There were no
radical Representatives advancing
fantastic ideas, and no radical on
the outside was able to communi
cate excitement to those in authori
ty. Deliberations were marked by
dignity and decisions by unanimity.
A good deal of good legislation was
passed .through the House, and
little bad legislation received favor,
able consideration.
There is no reason to doubt that
there will be seen in the presidential
election a further rebuke of the re
peated failure of the Republicans to
fulfill their platform promises, and
that the statesmanlike leadership of
Mr. Clark aud Mr. Underwood and
the orderliness of their followers
will be substantially rewarded.
It wa3 due to a lack of confidence
in the party-in-power, as an inevita
ble, though long-delayed, result of
its failure to adjust its morals to the
spirit of the times and shape its
policies to the needs and demands of
the day, rather than an abundance
of confidence in the party-out-of-power,
that caused the political up
Bet of tbe last congressional election.
Having secured a majority in the
House the Democrats faced a test
and a peril. They ttjod the one
and avoided the other, and made
party capital in the only legitimate
way. It is reasonable to believe
that thousands of those who depart
ed from their accustomed faith to
vote, reluctantly, for a change aud
in the hope of improvement will
cordially repeat the vote now that
the experiment has proven their dis
cretiou. It is reasonable to believe
that in view of the demonstrated
safety and sanity of the Democrats
other thousands who declined to
participate in the experiment will
vote the Democratic tickets. A
clean sweep, upon records, is the
outlook. Louisville Courier Jour

Tbe Champion Munchausen
Mr. J. C. Boon, of this township,
informs us that we were slightly in
error last week in stating that the
nine-foot chicken snake which he
killed in his hen house one night re
cently was found, upon examina
tion, to have shortly before devoui
ed tfiirte.'n young wild turkeys. In
stead of being turkeys, Mr. Boo
states that they were all youn
chickens and tnat just as the snak
was in the act if devouring the old
hen he arrived on the scene with a
hoe and not only saved the life of
the hen but compelled the snake to
disgorge some half a dozen of the
small chicks.
And now comes the remarkable
part of the story for which Mr.
Boon vouches (and he is known by
all his acquaintances as a most rep
utable man), and that is, the young
chicks which the snake disgorged
hopped out alive, were raised by
the old hen and later eaten by Mr.
Boon and his family, who pronounc

Good Roads Devebp Trade.
Good roads are of great advent
age to the people of both town and
country. The people of the cities
and towns and the rural districts are
mutually dependent upon one an
other in a large degree. The towns
and cities must have the products of
the farms, and the people of the
country must have the wares and
merchandise offered for sale in the
towns and cities. The mutual in
terests cf the two classes necessitate
much travel between the country
and the incorporated community;
and thus it is that roads and road
improvement play such an import
ant point iu the lives and the busi
ness affairs of all the people. Good
ro ids help the fBriner by affording
him facilities for easy trave 1 to the
town or city and for marketing his
products. They help the business
men of tne towns and cities by bring
ing the country people in to do busi
ness with them. Greensboro Tele
gram.
The Nation and Good Roads
There are many encouraging signs
that in the not distant future our
national government will meet its
responsibility in the matter of road
building. several bills looking to
this end have been introduced in the
extra session of Congress, now about
to adjourn, and, though they will
probably bring no immediate re
sults, they have opened the way and,
in time, the purpose they represent
will be realized.
Especailly notable among such
measures are those presented by Con
gressman Howard of Georgia; Sena
tor owanson of V lrgiaia, and Con
gressman Linthicum of Maryland.
The underlying object common to
all such bills is to secure from the
Federal government annual appropr a
tions for a period of years to be spent
in developing and linking together
interstate highways.
Certainly there is no field of pub
lic enterprise in which the national
government could interest itself more
properly, or with richer results. It
is equally as important for the gov
ernment to foster good roads as to
dredge rivers aud improve harbors,
for upon roadways the nation's com
merce is vitally dependent.
As a matter of precedent and his
tory the building of highways was
one of this country's earliest under
takings in the field of progress. The
Baltimore bun recalls, in this con
nection, that in the tiiet half of the
nineteenth century a vast number of
turnpikes were constructed by local
enterprises and that thus all the
eastern States were made accessible.
That was redly the beginning of in
terstate commerce. The fact that
transportation by rail, and partly by
water, has been carried to remark
able development in no sense lessens
the need of good road. Crops must
still be hauled to the town market
and the rail-way station, and the
volume of travel is increasing every
year.
The individual States have al
ready awakened to their duty to the
people in the construction of smooth
and durable roads, but the work of
the States must be supplemented
and encouraged by the national gov
ernment if this great cause attains
its dne measure of success. The
fact that so many special bills, hav
ing this end in view, have been in
troduced in the present session of
Congress is a wholesome indication
of popular sentiment, for these
measures but reflects the public's de
mand, i
When Congress reassembles in re
gular session next winter these bills,
or one inclusive measure, Bhould be
urged vigorously for adoption and
in the meantime the people of every
state should continne to work in
every way possible for such appro
priations. Atlanta Journal.

the charge of San Juan was quiet

The raiding party were taken by
