Talk about dragging roads! You have got to get up before daylight to beat Tom and Grover Will. My mall route runs through their place for one mile and the boys always keep the roads in good shape. They are a "chip off the old block." The boys remembered their mall carrier not long since by leaving a big two-bushel sack of oats at the mall box, for which wre were very thankful. We are glad to say that others have been dragging the roads, too, but more this year than usual. Thi3 matter of dragging the roads Is one of the best things that farmers can do at this time of the year, and saves the county lots of expense before the season Is 1 through. We will assure you that mall car riers all over the state are feeling Jubilant over Mr. Puis' snowdrift bill lately Introduced In the legislature, although the bill will not be of much use along about the Fourth of July, It will be good in its season. If Mr. Puis could Induce the postmaster gen eral to compel patrons on mall routes to put stamps on their mall when placing it In the mall box he would re ceive many thanks for doing so. J. M. Young.

TIME FOR THE PUBLIC TO SET UP ANQ TIE NOTICE When the head of the independent telephone association publicly urges the necessity of a law permitting companies In that business to merg and to freely sell and buy It Is time for the public to sit up and notice. It means that the men who have been most active in promoting competition In that business have made up their minds that the era of competition i about over, and that the time ha arrived to get under the commission regulation system. The question -1 one that the public is vitally In terested In. If it believes that its In terests are safer under competition then It must take steps to preserve that competition. If It accepts the theory of the economists that the tele phone Is a natural monopoly there are only two things to do, one to to own it and the other Is to regualte It. Nine out of ten men prefer to trr regulation rather than ownership, even though a large proportion have no faith In that as a remedy. It all depends on the men composing the commission. If they so conduct them selves as to earn public approval the bill will be Inclined to accept their udgment as to whether a rate Is com pensatory or not. And that Is tho vital thing about regulation Lincoln News. Likes California Climate.
