The Roads,

The roads are the subject of more
complaint than anything else in the
state, and one of the things the east
est to remedy.
But how? Why we have all the
material needed to make the best
and most substantial roads in the
state.
But this will take money. Ger
tainly, but not such large sum rs
may be supposed. We now pay a
large amount of fmOney to keep about
1900 convicts In the idle house in the
penitentiary at Columbus. Why not
take these convicts out ON the roads
in different parts of the state and
make roads. The cost will not be
any greater than to keep them in
idleness and then we will be getting
some good for the money we are pay
ing out yearly.
But some one may say how are
you going to keep these convicts at
work on the roads? VIII there not
be great danger of their escaping?
Not any more than there is i'm the
pen, and the same number of guards
can keep them at work on the roads
that now are keeping them in idle
ness in the pen.
VIII not this mode of convict labor
come in competition with honest Ia
Dor?
Not any more than it does now un-
der the contract system at the pen
where the manufactures employs the
convicts to work in his shop for about
one-foprth or perhaps one-ffth of
the price of labor, would il not be
better for all laborers to have this
mode Of labor stopped and the one
set forth In this article put in prac-
tice, then the manufacturer would
have to pay what labor is really
worth and we farmers would be re-
ceiving some benefit for the taxes
we are.paying and the public in gen.
eral would be benefited and our
roads WOULD soon be In a condition
that we could get to market any time
In the year with our produce and so
take advantage of the rise in the
markets and SO reap u benefit that
we cannot at present do with our
roads in their present condition.
Now i would like others to take
mp this question and give their ideas
and If any better plan can be suggest
ed we will gladly help to carry it
out. Let us hear from Hillican Ben
and Farmer Friend on this all-im.
portant question.
The ideas presented in this article
are the result OF much study and are
the honest convictions of one who
would like to see our roads improved
and are given for the consideration
Of thoughtful public and like all to
investigate tho subject and see IL tn 8
s not one Of the best ways to improve
'ur roads at small outlay OF money
md at the same time to keep our
'onvicts at work.

Kamr' Corn.

The following paragraph is extracted
from Kansas letter to the Boston u.
S. Investor:
The new Kaffir corn, of which 1856, 600
acres We're raised this year, has proved q
boon to farmers, as it has thrived in
hot, dry weather, and sandy soil as well
apparently as if conditions were more
favorable. By some it is considered the
salvation CT the semiarid region, as it
produces literally, and the grain is ex-
cellent for feed us we'll as a satisfactory
flour and meal basis. The farmers are
trying now to find an agriculture adapt
ed to the climate and soil rather than
to force the old methods, and indications
point to success. Had the, adopted this
plan years ago the prairie states would
be far advanced compared with present
conditions.

bring In the voters, Will fail In
every case. Convinced of this be-
forehand, men who do not expect to
meet competitors and contest with
them every inch of ground with the
same kind of weapons nowin univer-
sal use, may as well not enter the
field. Four-fifths of the votes at the
primaries in this city are cast by
voters who support tho candidate
who has treated them most cordially
or whose friends have shown the
greatest hospitality. The vote at the
primaries is for the most part IL vote
easily influenced. AS the primary
election determines the candidates
of the respective parties make poor
or misflt nominations, then no mat
ter which party is successful at the
general election,an incapable, ,inefiic-
lent and selfssceking officer is elect
ed. The primary election is by far
the most important of all elections.
Here character, integrity and capac-
ity of the future candidates must be
determined. Mistakes here cannot
be rectilied. The Indifference of
voters and inattention to their duties
as citizens in the prudent selection Of
the best men as candidates for Office
at the primaries lies ut the founda-
tion of many of the polictical mis-
fortunes which the people endure.
This apathy and neglect on the part
of the most responsible voters per-
mits adventures and political jobbers
to creep into power and use their
olice and influence to promote
every kind of scheme and project to
enrich themselves and their associ-
ates at the expense of the public
treasury, and to the scandal and dis
grace of the community. Their is
integrity sufficient in every COM
lnunity to nominate men of the best
character and the most unselfish
purposes to Office, If only that integ-
rity were aroused and active. But
while it slumber, the opportunity OF
the adventurer and the politician is
not nelected. The two remed les for
corruption in Office and in trying to
obtain Office which will be found
most effectual are: /. Lower the
salaries of officers until they pay
those who seek them no larger in
come than their talents and industry
would command in private station
of equal labor and responsibility.
A law requiring every voter to at
tend the primaries and cast his bal
lot for the candidate of his choice
thereby doing away with the con-
veydnce of voters to the polls and
eliciting the unbought expression OF
the whole population as to the choice
of all party candidates.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1896-02-25


This, of course showed the balance
as well as the a mount received and
expended, but it gave the taxpayer
no idea us to the character of the ex-
penditure, or who got the m m)ney.
Then the law was mlde explicit,
and every cent of expenditure, to
whom paid and for what paid had to
be itemized and published. The re-
suit was great reduction of publ C
expenditures. All the "Sundry
items" dropped out, and the public
official didn't buy more than one
new farm each year.
The few hundred dollars paid to
the newspapers saved thousand to
the taxpayers. The tendency, for
some years, is to ignore the law and
the dictionary and summarize in
stead of detail the transact ions.
The result is just what might be eX-
pected. The taxpayers are getting
the worst of it in proportion to the
summarization of the summary, and
somebody else is getting the best Of
it. Anything to hide as much as
possible and keep the newspape r
robber out of the treasury, is the mot
to.
Messrs. Pursell and Bowen are not
only entitled to the thanks of the
taxpayers of Hooking county but of
the whole State for putting this mat
ter in its true right.

How TO Use 1t as Told by Kansas Farmo


| How TO Use 1t rs Told by Kansas Farmer
Correspondent.
1t is fact that the soil has become
congested by being tickled SO long, and
1T has locked up its storehouse of good
things, in great measure, and lost the
key. But there is key that unlocks the
storehouse of the soil, greatly to it's de-
light, and brings forth its treasures in
great variety. That key is subsoil
plow made on the only principle that
can possibly solve the question of re-
moving the deplorable condition and
congested state of the under soil through
out the Whole western part of the Unit
ed States. Many farmers are using this
key to some extent, but they find diff
culties.
Every one knows that straight pull
on anything of heavy draft is very much
the best, and every one knows that a
horse that goes into the soil nearly to
his knees at every step has very discour-
aging work. But it is very difficult to
avoid that when the subsoil plow is used
to follow common plow. Now,
would suggest as better way to leave
the common plow under the shed, and
il you do not want to burn off the trash
on the surface, and there is q large
amount there, put a rolling cutter on the
subsoil plow and hitch four horses about
as near the center of the beam as posi-
BILE. If the plow runs too deep, lower the
front end of beam on the standard,
which you can do in two minutes or
more.
Begin at one end of the field, and
when you turn at the other end, If you
went north ON the east side of the field,
that furrow would come between the
two near horses going back the other
way, and so the next bout the furrow
would come between the two off horses,
so your furrows would be about three
feet apart, or perhaps they might be
closer. In that way your horses all have
good footing all the time, and having a
straight pull could run the plow from
16 to 30 inches deep from the surface at
one time; then cross plow it in the
same way. Your horses would soon
learn where to stop TO avoid going into
the first furrow and the cross plowing
would be lighter work. That will give
the rain plenty of chance to go into the
earth, and thus, being retained in the
soil, the moisture will spread through
the whole mass and is accomplished
with less expense and labor.

Tribute TO Thurman

The American statesman of the old
school had his failings. But he was
a man. He did not sell himself to
corporationsi He was not money
sack nor the tool of money sack.
He did not go to Wall street to find
his bosom'frfends and advisers. He
believed in the people and held it to
be the duty Of all ofiice-holders, from
President to constable, to serve and
represent them, not to attempt to
rule them in defiance of their viii
and against their instructions. He
was man to love and to trust, and
the world loses much In losing him.
And 1t has eertainly lost him. The
Thurmans have gone. The. Brio es,
the Smiths, the lQuays and the Cor
mans remain.-N. Y. World.

Parody--The Psalm of Life.
Tell me not In accents clouded,
Books to us are not most denr
We Juniors all are enshrouded,
With many taunt and jeer.
Talk is cheap and talk is basest,
When our minds are its target;
All it is and all erasest,
From the chances of our market.
They say we are the slowest class,
That in the course of many years,
Into Logan Juniors did pass;
But for this they'll pay in tears.
When we meet them we will treat
them,
In accordance with their views;
We will continue to slight them,
When they put some in ourhfeus.
We are two Walters, O.and ID,
Both Of which are useful too;
As Lucy, Carl, Nora and Blanche,
Will honestly assure you.
Fanny, Frank, Clara, James, Lilly,

We will love them, love them still.

hcr husband was out Of work and her three
children we're III. asked him to give her some
work. Hern gave her four pairs OF trousers to
finish. She told him that she lived Mt 165 Hop
kins street. Three days Inter IIern went to the
HOPKINS street house and found that the woman
did not live there. Then he met Eberhard In

woman and four pairs OF trousers. While Hern
and Ingold were searching for Mrs. Moody they
met two other talors who were on the same er-
rand.
On Thursday night policeman arrested Mrs.
