Possibly, when the people of any community, county or state awaken to a realization of the facta as given 'below by the Saturday Evening Post, they will arouse themselves to action which will overcome the enormous expense of having bad roads Instead of good ones: Director Page, of the United State's Public Roads Office, In analyzing the findings of the Bureau of Statistic^, shows that the cost of hauling the three principal crops?wheat, corn and cotton?from the farm to the railway is approximately flfty-six .million dollars per year. This Is tfie actual value of the work per formed under existing conditions, viz., with ninety-two per cent, of the roads unimproved. From the data at hand. Bhowlng the larger loads and the quicker time made l>y delivery over good roads, the calculation shows that with good roads general throughout the country the saving In this one Item of delivery would be ove:* twenty-flve million dollars per year, equal to thirty cents per person last year. The erratic market conditions and unnecessary expense or ware housing the grain will add twice as| much more to the Item of waBte. There are nnmerpus other directions in which the burden of Ixid roads ap plies. It Is conservative to say that the money loss through bad roads alone, to say nothing of the ethical, educational and social burden, Is not less than one hundred million dol lars per year, and is probably twice that sum. The testimony as to the effect of good roads on the value of farm property Is unanimous and over whelming. It shows conclusively that every dollar expended upon the construction of hard roads adds at lease five dollars to the cash value of the farms served by them. Good roads are a permanent asset to the nation, the State and the farm. As an economic and sociological question good roads should be regarded as paramount. Their influence and beneflcence will In years to come permeate the entire social fabric of our country. Good roads mean edu cation, civilization. Why Men Foil. Eight important and prominent business men were recently inter viewed" by a writer for "Success," a splendid monthly magazine, on the question "Why Men Fail In Busi ness?" The magazine printed its queries as follows: ."Why do nlnety-flve per cent, of American business men fall Bhort of success? "Do the causes lie in outside con ditions, or In themselves? "Are the markets available to United States merchants capable of supporting only five per cent, of these merchants? "Is competition too strong to he overcome?" The men who were interviewed are Mr. Edward B. Hatch, president of Lord & Taylor; Mr. Henry A. Haveweyer, president of the Ameri can Sugar Refining Company; Mr. ?Alexander J. Hemphill, vice-president of the Guarantee Trust Company and others, and Mr. Charles H. Steinway, of the Steinway piano house. Mr. Stein way's ro.ply was as follows: "The main cause of failure Is lack of knowledge. Another common cause is lack of capital. Many men do not know their business, and.j singularly enough, they do not seem to know their ignorance. A man; may know one side of a business, and yet be unfamiliar with another side. He may be a good manufacturer, and a poor financier. He may know his stock, but not know how to sel! It. lie may know 'how to sell, but be ignorant of credits. I believe in partnership in business." Mr. Stein way's reply reverses the old adage that n little learning Is a dangerous thing and In the applica tion lie makes It Is seen that a lack of It Is a dangerous thing Tor the success and prospenty of the busi ness man. Whl1 ? his application may not always prove to l>e the rule It Is nevertheless pertinent In' the case of a large number of the busi ness men who do not make a success of their businesses. Mr. Stelnway's words ought to help some of these men out or their difficulties. It should set a lot of the mediocrities and plodders and happy-go-luckies to , thinking about themselves when look ing over the conditions of their busi nesses. A little introspection would doubtless prove to be of great bene fit not only to their businesses hut to themselves. The sorry part of It Is that, as Mr. Stelnway says, a lot of them do not even realize their lack of requisite knowledge. The successful business man Is the one who goes In to win, not only the 4oM?rs and pennies of the hour or the day, but for success In the broad and significant meanings or tbe term. He goes in to win with ? the whole of his spirit, and all o( bis en thusiasm and energy as well as with his muscular effort. He goes In (or Workmanship instead of mere work. To attain workmanship In this sense he must know 'his business In every detail and It he does not know it he sets about with efforts to acquire tbe necessary knowledge. A whole lot could be written about success and the way to attain it Many business men think they are successful when theV are not. Many believe they have acquired all of the knowledge necessary for tbe attain ment of wealth and prosperity when they are very mucn mtstaicen. Some attach supreme Importance to rudi mentary Information and a smatter ing of cant or technioal phrases. The man who attains success is the man who knows how; tbe ones who want to attain success should set about learning the how of it. All of which brings us back to the meat of Mr. S'.elnway's question: What Do You Know About Your Own Business?" Think It over. Timber Owners Organize. One of the most Important econom ic movements of the day about which the general public has yet learned little is the concerted action of own ers of timber in different parts of the country In organizing associa tions to protect their holdings from flre. In the Pacific Northwest, the Washington Forest Fire Association has jnst elected officers at Seattle and begun work for the year with 3,000, 000 acres under its care. The plans include a system of patrol by rangers resembling the work done by the United States Forest Service In guarding against and extngulshing fires. Organizations of similar kind and for a like purpose are at work In Oregon and Idaho. In the latter State, a portion of the expense is borne by taxation and paid from the State treasury. A western railroad company which holds large tracts of timber has taken steps to guard Its property from fire, and during the short 'time that Its plans have been In operation, It has met with most encouraging success. Similar work Is being done on the other side of the continent. Forest owners in Maine have gone to work in the same systematic way to control th forests' great enemy, fire. Like organizations are found in other parts of the country, showing how fully It Is now realized that protec tion against fire is of the greatest importance. It is safe to say that fires in this country have destroyed more timber than lumbermen have- cut. When timber was abundant, the waste pass ed almost unnoticed, but now that a scarcity is at hand and an actual wood famine threatens In the near future, the owners of forest lands are waking up and taking action to save What Is left. Taft and Presidency. Tho present campaign for the Re publican nomination for president is in large measure a duplication of the McKinley campaign of twelve years ago. Then despite the clamor for favorite sons, the irresistable wave of personal popularity for McKinley swept all else aside, and the conven tion merely ratified a nomination the people had declard for months prev ious. So, too, Scretary Taft need have lltle fear of political intrigues. The man behind the gun?the elector?in city, town and country?has decided in his own mind that the big war sec retary must succeed to the presi dency. That the man who has prov en himself superior to any and every task assigned him, isrright material for tho highest executive office. The world's history of every day is read by all, and sO a man who Is a national figure, his name soon be comes a household word. Secretary Taft has been a big contributor In the world's events the past few years. The prestige he enjoys over-shadows all other candidates. With this, combine and unsullied character and unfaltering courage. No nation need fear such leadership. No reasonable man can see how tho city couitcll showed the slightest degree of animus toward the street superintendent, when it refused to act at present on the report of the street committee authorizing the street superintendent to purchase several car loads of materials at once. The ground was taken that the material in car load lots should not be bought until after the com mittees made up the estimates as to whut work should be done this year as has been the custom. If such ac tion was In aiilmus to the street superintendent the council Is to be congratulated for It by every citizen who belleveB In doing business in a business-like manner Instead of driv ing the cart before the horse. All will agree that a generous de gree of liberality should be given the street superintendent of the city hut not to the extent of permitting him to purchase many car loads of ma terials before it Is determined toy council what work shall be done. This rule has been strictly observed several years and there is no good reason to break it now. Perhaps, tho Democratic papers and leaders are against the present tax system because Harrison county has about four And a half times as much taxes from the public service corporations this year as the county did In 190G. The fifty-nine thousand dollars nearly this year Is the 1907 tax and the thirteen thousand dol lars tax received in 1906 was the ' V ?? : : ??: fr tax of 1905, before tbe law went Itato effect. What a change In behalf of the people in only two years! What Redmanshlp la. Tbe wonderful progress and popu larity of the' Improved OrdeAf Red Men have earned tor it the prominent positidn it occupies among social and beneficial fraternities of the United States, says tbe Tomahawk, official organ of the order, in Its current Is sue. There are many causes for its phenomenal increase in numbers and I Influence. Tbe order has Intrinsic | merit as a Boclety which teaches and exemplifies its principles of friend ship and brotherly helpfulness. Its precepts inspire all with_the spirit of fraternal love and goodfellowshlp and the 'Divine idea of the Brother hood of Man. Its teachings tend to refine the natures of Its members, to ennoble' their characters, and awaken their minds to the highest aspira tions. It especially appeals to the patriotic sentiments of true American citisens because of its origin, Its tra ditions and Its ceremonies. Its es tablishment In its present form dates from' 1765-1771. Its Inception was In the time when It tried men's souls ?the time when our -nation was In the throes of Its birth, and it was one of the main factors that gave Im pulse, form and purpose In that try ing epoch to tbe determination of the colonists, and tbe acts growing out of the determination Insured ultimate success to those patriots, resulting In a* flag?"Old Olory," and a Nation? the United States of America. Tne Improved Order of Red Men, as shown In the above. Is a benevo lent organization, paying sick and death benefits. Its object Is to benefit Its members socially, morally and Intellectually. In benevolence, this order is un surpassed in taking oare of its mem bers. Founded upon the simple customs of a private race, the utmost simplic ity marks Its ceremonies,* and free dom and equality are exemplified among all of its members. The order Is secret, In the sense that secrecy Is right and proper In those things which concern the pri vate Interests of a common family, and to better and more worthily carry out the ends set forth. It is named as It la because, being purely American, the name of the aboriginal Inhabitants of the conti nent who were tawny skinned, was the first to suggest Itself to the founder of the order. Its name was chosen as abovo Indicated, as ex pressive In the highest degree of the order's origin, and as peculiarly ap propriate tc a society which has a history co-equal with the hlstcry of the aboriginals of the American con tinent and the establishment of the United States. Its emblems are drawn from na ture alone, and are symbolized In every sense by those things upon which the eye rests when contem plating the wondrous works of the Great Spirit whose power end all per vading presence must be acknowl edged by all who seek to penetrate the sacred mysteries of the order. One who has taken our pledges and promised to strive to live by our principles must be industrious and diligent. A lazy man violates sac red pledges or tie order, as well an natural obligations. He must deal Justly, not with members only, but with all, for It would be a poor hon esty which was a policy only. He must speak plainly to a brother Red Man, and advise him of anything touching his fair name. A word In season is often a man's salvation. His money must be paid regularly, per rule, to keep up legitimate expenses, sick and death benefits. A sincere desire to advance the interests of the order must animate all, and a firm resolve must be evidenced to succor the distressed, comfort and watch over the sick and afflicted, bury the dead, protect the widow and the orphans, and generally live up to the cardinal principles of the order. The amount of benefit paid in case of sickness or death Is fixed by each Tribe. The exipense Incurred In becoming a member is so small that the man of moderate means can enjoy the fruits of the order as well as the rich. New Tribes can be Instituted In tills state with a list of twenty pale faces. The charter fee is $40, which must accompany the application for a charter. The Great Sachem, or the Great Chief of Records will glad ly furnish any information desired to persons who will write either or them for such information. If there is no Tribe of the order in the town or city In which you reside get a list of twenty or more citizens to join with you and have one instituted. In the Improved Order of Red Men Is a wide Held for thought and work in behalf of humanity. It teaches upright living, cultivates a broad manhood, brings men Into friendly contact, develops the moral and Intellectual faculties, and hi a thousand ways educates Jts members for their world's work and to do their share for th^ progress of civil ization. ' , There is not a worif in our ritual istic work that does not belong there.! I There Is not a thought conveyed that1 ottght not be there. We should place a valuation on every one of th'ese and Instill them into the minds of the candidates In such a manner that they will know what they have earned and learned something of value. This wilt do much toward putting Redmanshlp on the highest plane of fratemallsm, a place where of right It belongs. Stuart Reed's many friends throughout the state join the Tele gram In congratulating him on car rylng Monongalia county as he did Saturday. Hit contestants made a hard flght for themselves and one newspaper down there waged war against tym in ' an ? underhand man ner but he came out victor. It is a feather ill his cap his supporters are proud of. But a very few "male members of the graduating class of the city schools used to be the fact, but| there \re several this year and the number appears to be increasing as the years come and go. The Tele gram is pleased with this. Every one knows that young men ought to have brain training before entering business. 'The Tomahawk, official organ' of the Great Councils of the Improved Order of Bed Men and the Degree of Pocahontas of the Reservation of West Virginia, is published as a special souvenir number this month on the occasion of1 the annual meet ings of the Qreat Councils of the or der now being held In -Clarksburg. The paper is edited and published by C. K. Chambers, of Martlnsburg, and the issue' mentioned Is a Bplendld flfty-two page edition, nicely printed and contains sketches of leading Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas of West Virginia besides other special and interesting articles. The edition Is a credit to the organization and es pecially so to Mr. Chambers, its en terprising editor-publisher, who is numbered among the leading mem bers of the tribe. The yeggman's plana to gala his liberty, it he had any, were foiled, when the United States marshal brought him to a Jail that Is safe. Some time ago a desperate criminal and a jail breaker was brought here from Fairmont for safe keeping. Now one comes from Wood county. Har rison county is known to have the best jail in the Btate and is not an noyed by jail deliveries. In fact, it never 'has any occasion to be uneasy about such things. As yet the Telegram has not heard of any mass meeting being called, or any other kind of a meeting, to or ganize for the purpose of four miles of good roads leading out of Clarks burg. The negligence and procrasti nation Indicate that the Interests con cerned really do not care Whether they have good roads or else have little hope of accomplishing any thing along that line. The duty of the public to Itself was clearly elucidated In Judge Lynch's charge as to what constitutes good citizenship and aid to the courts. The Telegram has but Uttle patience with men who criticise public officers and are unwilling themselves to aid the officers in maintaining law and or der. For a band of rfeal Indians, the Red Men and the Daughters of Poca hontas behave exceedingly well. Clarksburg has endeavored to give the visitors the best of its hospital ity and judging from the many ex pressions of appreciation they are highly pleased with their reception and entertainment. The factional fight in the Demo cratic party in Ohlb gives the Demo cratic party a chance to be even more concerned about Itself than it was anxious to see the Republican party disrupted by the Foraker fiasco. The Fairmont West Virginian was not so very well posted, when It pre dicted that Cabell county would not Instruct Its delegates to the state convenlon. But, then, Fairmont Is far away from Huntington. The allies may have all the conso lation they can get out of the report they are circulating that they have Taft beaten, but the returns show Taft gaining every day. They also show he is far in the lead. Judge Lynch's charge did not stir up the city administration very much, however much it may have taken former ones to task. The present one is quiet, indeed. Judge Lynch's charge to the grand Jury set the violators to talking a good deal as well as thinking of an exodus to ot'her parts at the earliest possible date. The order directing railroad gates to be erected and maintained here scarcely created a ripple of excit ment. Every one acts as if it was expected. Rev. aul L. Flanlgan Is here from Oassaway visiting his family, who are visiting relatives here. Stop That Cold To check early colds or Grippe vith "Preventlcs" means sure defeat for Pneumonia.

COLUMBUS, 0., May "i?The state authroltles are considering a plan of declaring martiel law In tbe bur ley tobacco-district of Ohio in order to protect the people from night rid ers.

Is Employed by the State to Work Up Interest in Agriculture. At a recent meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, Mr. Charles Mclntyre, of iChandiersville, O., an intelligent, progressive agriculturist, was employed to travel In this state for a year In behalf of the state's agricultural Interests. He will visit lurmers institutes, tne normal schools and teachers' Institutes. He will also hold special meetings at different places wlh reference to hor ticultural Instruction, and In general, emphasize In this state the work to which he has devoted his life. In view of the fact that elementary agriculture Is now a part of the coure of study In our common schools It was thought well to have Mr. Me Intyre meet as many teachers as pos sible and with this end In view Su perintendent Thomas C. Miller has outlined a schedule for him at the normal schools of the state. Within the month of May he will visit the normal schools, spending from three to live days with each, addressing the student body and calling attention or the young men and women to the great opportunities that present them selves In agriculture pursuits. Mr. Mclntyre's work will begin at the Concord nornVl school at Athens today and from there he will go to Shepherdstown, Fairmont, West Lib erty, Glenvllle and Marshall college In regular order. In the Ohio man the state has secured a competent, leader In this work and Superintend ent Miller Is delighted with the pros pects of having the West Virginia teachers meet him this season.

Ten years Is a very long time for a paint to wear; -and Ave Isn't short Which makes the most freight, a 10 or 20 gallon paint? C or 10 year paint?
