The construction of a macadam road in any section will mean: l.That the market value f the real estate situated on or near the macadam road will lo enehanced in value and in many instances proper ties which could not be sold even at a low figure have found a market when they were connected with the neighboring town or citv hv means of a macadam road. '2. That rural free delivery will he extended as goods roads are con structed and is practically dejiendent upon good roads, for with the con struction of good roads there will be an increase in population and of the earning capacity of the adjacent farms, which will mean a pi-eater amount of mail matter to be deliver ed. This is emphasized in the report of Postmaster General Cortelvou who said: The requirement urece dent to the establishment of rural de livery is to be a possible patronage of loo families on a standard route of 24 miles; that the road be kept in good condition, unobstructed by gates and with all streams fordable at all seasons of the year." .'!. That farmers will be able to take advantage of market fluctua tions in buying and selling. 1.

That tourists, capitalists, inves ors. and others visiting any section 'f the State will be much more fa- voraMv lmnressod with the financia possibilities of any manufacturing nterprise, or the commercial value f any farm or timU'rland by driv ing to them over good roads. If thes' same places have to be visited over poor roads, thev will lose more than half their value in the sight of the prosective investor, as his thoughts have leen so entirely taken up with the bad road over which he has Ixx-n compelled to travel. Putting Incurables out of Misery. misery: .Apparently mere is a ieei ing in some people that they should. or the Ohio Ix'gislature is eonsider , . , i - i i i ing a bill making sucn an act lawiui. The bill provides that a hopeless suf ferer mav receive poison, at his re- piest. from three physicians, who ;hall report the fact to the authori ties. While it is true that many invalid would gladly ie released irom lire, and perhaps would be liettcr otf in onsequence. as well as his family. it would be dangerous to put such power as the Ohio bill contemplates into the hands of anybody. It would lace a premium upon murder and imperil the life of every jierson who had property and heirs. Who would be safe if men were at the mercy of anyone who could ob tain the co-iieration of throe un scrupulous physicians? Of course. not manv physicians could lc induced o assist in such a scheme a that, ut it is unfortuaatly probable that uthcient number could always He fwund to enter it. If a terson suffering from a pain tul and what lie supposes to tie an incurable disease wants to end his agony, he can nnd means io do u himself. The idea of makinir it possible tor others to blot him out under a form of law is so shocking that it could oc ur onlv to persons whose sentiment has choked their reason. 'SUBSIDIES. Youth's Companion. The hill "to promote the national defense, to create a force of nava volunteers, to establish ocean mail- lines to foreign markets, to promote commerce and to provide revenue from tonnage," which has been passed by the Senate, and is pending in the House of Representatives, is popular and indeed accurately- known as the ship subsidy bill. The forms of government aid, which are in effect subsidies, although seldom so characterized, and the amount of government expenditure for those objects, are not always bom? in mind. t,very nvti and harbor act is a subsidy for certain places an? in dustnes. So, too. is the irrigation enterprise ; likewise rural free de livery, the cheap postage on second- class matter, the distribution of seeds to farmers, and the money spent at agricultural experiment stations. W hen the great movement to the West made it necessary to have rapid and comfortable communica tion between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, the government sub sidized transcontinental railroad- lines by grants both of lands and of its credit. Every great public enterprise, like the Columbian Exposition at Chicago and the world fairs at Buffalo. St. Louis and Portland, has leen hehed, and therefore sut sidized. bv the United States. The levees of the Mississippi and the jetties at the mouth of it are also subsidized public improvements. In all these cases, as in that of the proposed ship subsidy, the idea is that the object aimed at is of public lienefit. It is supposed to accom plish-a useful public purpc.se, and it is a mere incident that it helps per sons or communities. The word subsidy in itself is nothing to lie afraid of. It is what it may lie made to stand for that is important. The American people wish to feel sure that nothing shall ie subsidized which is not in the large sense, public that no money which Id-longs to the whole neonle hall le spent merely to enrich a part of them at the expense of the rest. New Suggestion to a Seed Agency. York Sun. COMMENCEMENT ORATORS OUGHT TO CHANGE THEIR STYLE. Monroe Journal When a man goes out to speak to people he at least ought not to do them any harm by holding up false ideas of life and confusing young people as to the meaning of success. The commencement speaker has much to answer for along this line. Boys and girls have been told so often about the success of big men, and so little about the success of those who, though not born great, made the most of themselves and lived happy and useful, though not famous lives, they are apt to get the wrong ideas about what success really means ; and because they can't all be president or Governor, as they are falsely told they can be, they are apt to think that they can't be "any thing. The value of education is dwelt upon as a means to achieve wealth or fame or both. This is why there is so much error as re gards the true value of education, which means simply that each indivi dual should be trained or educated to use to the greatest advantage wnatever powers he has, be they large are small. But being told that education means that a boy will necessarily become a Governor or a Senator or occupy some other high place, many people have come to think of education onlv in this sense. and so, when they see a man who has been to college and been "educated" and does no good in life. they say that education does not pay. The commencement sky scrapers ought to get down to their business and find what education really is and then talk about it. and stop the meaningless jangle of words that ot ten have more sound than sense.

The Rise of a Waiter. ,i urk WurM Twenty-five years ago, he was a waiter in a Broadway hotel, lle had just landed from Switzerland. New York sees many such an immi grant m like vocation year in and year out. But today he is the newly apjxiinted manager of one of New tnrk s most famous hotels, and his salary is $2"), (MX) jkt year. He has come to a far crv from a few dollars a week and "tips." There is opportunity to shrug one s houlders and sav that he has had special opportunities ; that he has been the protegee of a peculiar aristocracy which loves to be prodi gal in its gratuities. Ihese things mav be true, but they are not the whole truth. If he had been work ing with his eye on "tips" alone he would still be on the floor where tieople are giving them. Behind this incident of advance ment is the case once more of the man who has made himself, not in dispensable - no man can be that but next to necessary, so that he was alwavs next to promotion. .
