Our readers will find elsewhere
a letter from "ProgresS" giving
reasons why our public roads are
in such deplorable condition-and
promising in future letter sug-
gestions, how to make them What
they should he. There is no GneS
tion but that our roads are abom
Unable, not the least doubt bit
that the present method Of work
ing them-by enforced labor-doeS
not by any means reach the end
proposed. If that method is the
proper one why is that on plain
so admirably adapted for drainage
they are not in not merely good,
but, excellent condition? If that
method is the true one, why is it
that the road surveyors are never
drought to book" because of the
intolerahle condition of99 per ct. of
cur highways? All over the State
is heard the cry Of chad roads. >
The present system of roadwork
prevails all over the State. The
truth is We are too much like the
mill-bov who carried his corn in
one end of his bag and balanced
it with rock in the othcr-ard
justified it by saying, "father did
so ard his father before him
what they did is good enough for
me-" We are living too much in
the past. The system of working
roads which prevailed "before the
war; when we had slaves in super
bundance for the work and our
traffic was scarcely one third what
it is now does not today meet the
point. Something better must be
had. We cannot afford TO chatter
with the "MeSsrS. Cant and Can
not" We must go forward. The
charged condition of our farming
interests brought about hy our
steamers and rail communications.
the value of our lands, the hoped
for increase in wealth and popula-
tlou-all demand that we seek bet
ter, wiser, easier and more profit
able paths to shipping points. The
necessity is uron Us and it must be
nat. The how TO meet it scarcely
requires Solomon. One thing is
certain: howsoever much we may
revere the memory of things "De-
fore the war" We cannot afford to
retain what has become an evil 70
Us. we cannot at this day afford
to feel as the old foey Virginlan
implied in talking to his active,
alert and progressive New York
business friend who visited him
years after the "unpleasantness"
ceased. They sat together upon
tie broad portico chatting. The
progressive New Yorker remarked:
elbow bright the moon is tonight"
His fogy host replied: Eyes. but
it amt half so bright as before the
war;" Welded to ''the good old
way" he could see no good in the
progress Of the present-por look
forward to a higher goal beyond.
He lived in the past. We live in a
new era. An era of development,
when to stand still is death. We
must go forward to reach higher,
lest the reSistleSs care of progress
crush us. To us, that we may do
so good roads are essential. We
must move in this matter-with.

The Long Drawn Out Fifeieth Gongrsos
at Last Adjourns,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-At one o'clock
D. m. congress concluded its longest,
and one of its most interesting sessions.
After 800 days devoted largely to the
discussion of economic questions, after
the passage by the house Of represent
atives of a notable tariff measure, and
the declaration by the Republican party
of its views on this important question
by the report from the finance committee
of substitute for the house measure,
congress suspends its public work until
the first Monday in December. At the
conclusion of the reading of the journal,
Mr.. Allison offered resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of committee
of two senators to act with commit
tee of the house in bearing to the Presi-
dent the information that congress, ha-
ing concluded the business of the session,
was ready to adjourn. The resolution was
adopted and the president pro tenn. ap-
pointed Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Salisbury
members of the committee.
The senate, at 11:13, took recess until
10 o'clock, with the understanding that
any communication from the executive
or from the other house should be re-
ceived in the interim. During the infor-
NAL recess of the senate a message was
received from the house announcing the
passage Of the Cincinnati exposition res
olution, and the resolution was inmedi-
ately passed by the senate.
A communication from the secretary
of war, containing a report from the
chief signal officer ON the climates of
Washington territory and Oregon, was
sent to the agricultural committee.
AT 1910, Mr.. Morgan being IN the
chair, Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Salisbury ap-
peared and announced that the commit
tee appointed to call upon the president
had seen him and that he had no further
communications to make to congress.
Mr.. Salisbury then offered resolution
extending the thanks Of the senate to the
president pro tenpore, Mr.. Ingalls,.
At 1858 Assistant Secretary Pruden
appeared and delivered q message from
the president, announcing his approval
Of sindry senate bills and joint resolu-

INCONSISTENT OBJEC-
TlONS.

Moorhcad News: The News learns
that there is more or less disaffection on
the part of farmers throughout this
county, and in Becker, Norman and
Otter Tail counties, toward the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, and that
the objection is Mr.. Merriam's wealth.
The allegation that money was wrong
fully used to accomplish his nomination
is accepted as true. That many who
make these objections desired the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Scheffer. 1t is passed our
comprehension to understand the consis-
.teney of such men. 1t is admitted that
there Is prejudice existing in the minds
of poor men against very wealthy men,
and disposition on account of such
prejudice to believe allegations that
money has been used to secure the NOM
ination of q wealthy man who aspires to
high office. The allegation ought not to
be accepted as true without positive
proof, but many will accept it simply
because the candidate has money and is
ambitious to secure high office. The
News has not seen the evidence which
proves that money was improperly used
in Mr.. Merriam's behalf, and therefore
does not believe the charge is true. We
are willing to accept the universal max
i'm that a man charged-with crime is pre-
sumed to be innocent until proven to be
guilty. But the point we desile particu-
larly to make at this time is the lncon-
sistency of men who dsnounce Merriam
and are mad because Scheffer was not
nominated. Scheffer is wealthy banker
as well as Merriam, and there is just as
good ground for be 'ieVing that money
WAS used in his interest, although unsuc-
cessful, as in Merriam's. Besides his be-
ing wealthy banker, Mr.. Scheffer's Pc
litical record is inconsistent, changeabls
and cratic, and not always loyal to the
Republican party, while that of Mr..
Merriam is consistent, unvarying and
loyal to the Republican party. OF the
two men Mr.. Merriam is on all accounts
the better candidate, the main objection
to him being his great wealth. We hope
all Republicans who are dissatisfied be-
cause Scheffer was not nominated will
ponder over the matter long enough to
see their own inconsistency and vote the
regular ticket.

THEY GIVE UP NEW YORK.

The following acknowledgement of
coming defeat appears in the editorial
columns of the New York Herald, one of
the most radical Democratic papers in
New York City. 1t is from special
Herald correspondent, sent out to inves-
tigate and report as to the political con-
dition of the other paris of the state, is
dated at Buffalo, October 10, and is pub
lished under the heading Warning to
the Democracy:
I am hurryins through the western
counties, for am sick of this eternal
buttonholing and corner-grocery tariff
discussion. You can make up your mind
that, unless some extraordinary change
occurs between now and November 6,
Harrison will go down to High Bridge
with something like 10000 plurality. If
New York City can overcome that Cleve-
land is all right; if not he will have to
pack up and come back to Buffalo You
can get no idea in your present sur
roundings of the situation in the coun-
try. The Republicans are making
fierce, intelligent and so far successful
hight. 1t was mistake for Cleveland
to raise the tariff ISSUE / can see that
now for the first time. The surface ar
gument is, as you know, all in favor of
the Republicans, and that is the argu-
ment that catches the countrymen.
There are large OBJECTIONS of lifelong
Democrats among the farmers every
where have been. In Rochester the
men in control of the Democratic organ
ization will knife Cleveland sure. They
are very bitter against him, and IN pri-
yate make no bones Of it. In Steuben
county the Democrats are all smashed
up. Cleveland's appointees are lot of
milk and water jackanapes, who let
their enemies scoop everything. The
only notable exception is Jim Hanlon,
internal revenue collector, who lives at
Medina and is making the most extraor-
binary fight in Orleans county / have
yet come across. He's daisy. The
Democrats in Niagara county are saving
their money to use on election day. God
bless them!
