There are those who cannot drink beer and nobody wants to bathe iti it. The presidents of two important import-ant New England universities agree that "'few college men really go wrong." Few college men are excusable for not going right. There is no excuse for a college man ''to come out of college uneducated, and on of the results of education is ability to see the folly, to say nothing of the sin. of wrongdoing. wrong-doing. Purely as a matter of policy, the college-bred man, if anybody, should avoid going wrong. Brother Wilkinson of the Iron County Record is lamenting because be-cause The Utonian has removed his paper from its exchange list.

Another cheap John of a peddler strucK this city last Wednesday night. It appears t hat he was selling small bottles with water In, and calling them chemical magnifiers.

The "more transparent the swindle, the raore,t carefully people blind themselves to the probability of getting swindled.

Tin city of Springviilj will soon, by the continued poll'.ilion of the water supply in I he open ditchest, he compelled to an something to check the viru-lency viru-lency of the febrile disorder which recur every season. One way lo do this is to put in a waterworks system. A more urgent necessity is an electric lighting system. We have seen il proven, as far uh statistics ami ihe experience of other towns can do so, that from a revenue hearing mid an aco-noinic aco-noinic stand point electricity is ihe light of the future, and to a great extent that of lite present, for private and municipal use. This fact, however will have no weight with people who prefer to jiay a coal-oil trust two prices for their light, rather than gel a vastly belter and safer light of their own municipality ut one price. Then again, tax paying is a pleasure no man likes to be deprived of. Without taxes life would be a nig lit in a re. Springville could no doubt exist for centuries without either electric lights or waterworks water-works but it would soon become a town which till of t'ie younger, progressive element if a hide-bound municipality can produce u nrotrresMve 1 CT element would move away from.

The lime for the annual "working the roads" will soon be at hand, and as the importance im-portance of the question of good roads becomes better understood, under-stood, through Ihe efforts of the press, road improvements associations, asso-ciations, the Farmers' Institutes, roads will be conducted on lines belter adapted to making good roads than they are, merely putting put-ting in so much time and get. ting credit on a tax duplicate for it, as used to he so largely the case, says a wriier in' the Iowa Homestead. Working the roads is renlly work, like uny other, and ought to be honestly performed, per-formed, it needs to be quite-as intelligently planned, too, for the bulk of it us commonly done is the merest patchwork, having uo reference to the permanent improvement of the roads that are needed. A great deal depends de-pends on the road supervisor, for unless the labor is intelligently intelli-gently "bossed" there will not be much of it done, nor will what is done accomplish much good. It does not make much difference what the views of a road supervisor are on the tariff question or free silver questions, nor even on the next war, but it is of the highest importance that they shall be right on the the road question and that he shall be u man able to manage men. The time when the roads are mended, too, is of importance, import-ance, for it shall be done when the ground will work well and settle work.

We are all interested in good roads nn'l none are more so than the farmer; for his products must go to market, or at least perforin the first stage of their journey thither, by them, and the load that can be drawn is limited by the worst places in the road over which il has to go. We are in no hurry to make any violent changes in the road system nor to increase the amount of expense of road construction, for it is a matter about which each community must find out for itself "where it is at" before much can be done; that is, ach community, must feel the need and work its way to the remedy appropriate to circumstances. Methods entirely en-tirely suited to one locality may be wholly unfit for another. There is one point, however, where the conditions of all localities agree, and that is, ttiat the most should be made of the means at command, and if this means consist only of an old fashioned road gang working out its own taxes with such tools as it can happen to collect, still the most work that is possible should be done. To raise n condition where good roads shall be the rule is a work of time, In those countries of, Europe where they-have they-have A'ars lit has been the work of ceJ manknto make them. We hopeTt witfiiot take so long in this country, and the way to reach the best results in the shortest time is to do honest word with the means we have now at command, introducing improvements as fast as we become be-come certain that they are improvements im-provements and can afford them. There is ono way by which all the traveling and team driving public can help to work the roads all the year around, and that is by providing vehicles having broad tires. This is one of the things that cannot he done all at once, ' for a good wagon eannot be laid aside merely because the tire is not as wide as tecent investigation shows to be best for the roads and easiest in draft, but it can be done gradually and without becoming a serious burden, if every one will make up his! mind that the next vehicle he buys shall be broad tired. In a number of states laws have been passed requiring all wagons, etc., to have tires of a certain width, varying with the weight of the wagon and the load it is to carry, the law is not to take effect, however, until three or four or five years after passage, in order not to throw out of use the vehicles already owned by the public. None of these laws have yet gone into effect, we believe, so that one canuot tell what their practical operation will be. Much good is expected from them, however. Other laws having the encouragement of broad tires in view give a rebate on taxes for certain prescribed widths of vehicles kept. Tho broad tire is one good means of keeping roads from becoming cut up, and we would like to see the whole country "working the roads" in this effective and in- expensive way.

Department Edittd b) the SprimjvilU Union. "A Mistaken Notion. An old but very mistaken notion is that drink gives strength. A test was opee -tried to determine the strength-giving power of alcohol. Two gangs of men, as nearly equal in size and strength as possible, were put to work breaking stone. Hoth gangs contained an equal number of men. but to one gang liquors contain ing alcohol were given. At first, the alcohol gang did by far the most work, but when the effects of the alcohol ceased, the meu fell far behind the other men in their work, so that at the end of the day the gang which did not drink had done the greatest amount of work. This was continued for three or four days, the result being the sutue. The experimenters then reversed the gangs, giving the non-alcoholic gang alcohol, and allowing the alcoholic gang none; but the men not using the stimulant came out ahead, as before. Good Evidence. While a number of young men in waiting-room of an English railway rail-way were discussing the merits of total abstinence, a policeman came in with a handcuffed prisoner, and listened to the dispute, but gave no opinion. A minister of the gospel, who was also present, stepped up t& the policeman police-man and asked, "Pray, sir, what have you to say about temperance?" "Well." replied the guardian of the law, "all I have to gay is that I never took a teetotaler to prison in my life." The Ham's Horn. Let It Alone, The rats once assembled in a large cellar, to devise 'some method tf safely getting the bait from a steel trap which lay near, having seen numbers of their friends and relatives snatched from them by its merciless jaws. After many long speeches and the proposal of many elaborate but fruitless plans, a happy wit, standing erect, laid: It Is my opinion that, if with one paw we can keep down the spring, we can safely take the food from the trap with the other." All the rats present loudly squealed assent. Then they were startled by a faint voice, and a pot"- rat, with only three legs, limping Into the ring, stood up to speak. "My friends, I have tried the method you propose, and you see t ho result. Now let me suggest a nlan to escape the trap. Let it alone." t s'd.' credit bn-ini-ss. Hotel Boyer, V. J. COVKUT, Mgr.
