Physicians In hospitals say that patients on tho sunny sldo of tho building recover more rapidly than on the shady side. If the political campaign upon which our country has entered Is to prove an honor to the American people, If it Is to bo concluded wisely, two principles Otifrht to be remembered and adopt ed by all parties concerned. First, that there can be honnst differences between honest men; henco notwith standing tho intensity of our own con victions that we arc right we ought to bt willing to respect the con victions of others. As usual In Ameri can political campaigns tho press on both sides and in all sections started out in an aggressive rind abusive spirit, but already there are signs of better things. If purchanee, as is to be hod, the sober sense of our people is triumph ant and the campaign is conducted in a dispassionate temper it will mark an epoch in American political history. There is nothing to be gained by heaping abuse upon those who may be our political adversaries. But upon tho other hand there is much to be lost, of dignity, of self-respect, of tho regard which foreign nations are want to bestow upon us as n people, a regard which we ought to appreciate and which we ought to seek more and more to tu spiro. In the second place we ought to remember that the issues that are brought before the country in this campaign can be solved only by educa tional methods. They cannot be solved out of a good heart, a patriotic motive or u righteous Intention. Tho best i:iuti, unless he informs himself, will go astray. The ftnanciul question is one that Its very nature calls for earnest thought and dispassionate investigation. It is to be earnestly hoped In the In terest of good citizenship as well as for the future well faro of our great com monwealth each voter will endeavor to investigate these great political issues in order that he may vote intelligently John Hamilton, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and Director of Farmors' Institutes, In a paxsr "On the Improve ment of the public roads of Pennsyl vania," says: The greatest enemy to a good roud is neglect. No matter how carefully It may have beon constructed, if It is permitted to take care of itself and lie neglected, it will bo vory soon destroyed. Drains become cloggod, washes begin in tho wagon tracks, freez ing and thawing loosen tho surface, overloaded wagons tear tip the ballast and start channels for wator, and every succeeding flood sweeps down the road way, instead of through tho sluices, often requiring tho labor and taxes of an entire year to repair tho loss, where as, a little attention at the proper time would have preserved the whole intact and have kept it in good condition for public use, Lack of attention at tho proper time is the great defect in our present system of public roads, entailing loss to tho taxpayers of the state aggre gating millions of dollars, and which if continued, will effectually prevont the possibility of good rouds for all time to como. All public corporations, such as railroads, trolley and turnpike lines provide for frequent inspection and re pairs, thus preventing waste, promoting durability, safety and economy, and adding each year to the effiolency and servloo of their road. Every mile of road in Pennsylvania should have a competent person, who will be held re sponsible for Its condition, and will see not only that it is not destroyed, but is daily Improved. To secure this, the roads In the township should be divided into dlstriots of not over twelve miles each, and a good common day laborer ba put In each district, whose duty it will be to work every day on some portion of this road, and, to be out especially on wet days, provided with water proof clothes, and a shovel, to turn the water off the track, opening drains, guarding bridge and noting tho places that especially need repairing, so that wben dry weather oomes, these places can be put In order to resist tbe floods that otherwise would soon destroy tbem.
