LOSS FROM BAD ROADS.
Drain UpOn Agricultural Energies
Caused by Them.

Drain Upon Agricultural Energies
Caused by Them.
No other hypothesis than ignorance
OF the facts or indifference to their own
interests can explain why the farming
population Of the agricultural states,
which does the bulk of the voting, has
allowed itself to lose such an immense
aggregate Of earnings annually on ac-
count Of bad roads.
Through special agent, appointed
for the purpose. the department of ag-
riculture has been collecting data
showing the cost Of bad roads the
country over. Replies from 10000 let
tiers addressed to reliable farmers and
teamsters in various parts Of the
United States have been received. By
equating their contents the conclusion
Is reached that the average cost of
hauling ton distance of one mile is
70 cents, when for the same amount a
ton can be carried 200 miles by water
and 80 miles by rail.
The American farmer Is at an ex-
pense three times greater per mile for
hauling his produce than the European
farmer. This is because the service
standards abroad are lower and he
cause the roads there are great deal
better. This drain upon the agricul-
tural energies Of the country viii con-
nnue until this annual surface treat
ment is supplanted by system OF
fundamental and permanent construc-
ton.

sink into the roadway and soften It
The next wagon, finding the ground
softer, digs its wheels deeper into the
surface, and so the work of demorali-
Zation and destruction continues.
A wide tire, on the other hand, in
stead of forming a rut, will roll and
harden the road surface. By the use
Of wide tires every loaded wagon can
be turned into an effective road roller
and made to improve the roadway in
stead Of helping to destroy it. All that
is necessary to make the best road in
the world is to make it solid and to
give it hard, smooth surface. Moth
ing so much tends to accomplish this
as the frequent use of road rollers.
Wide tires are road rollers and there
fore roadmakers. Narrow tires are
road destroyers. If wide tires could
be adopted for general use, every load
ed wagon which today helps to cut up
and destroy country roads would be-
come an active factor In their improve.
ment.
Experience has repeatedly proved
that hauling on wide tires requires less
tractive force than is needed for the
narrow tired wagon under the same
conditions. Director Waters of the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton, who has made very extensive
tests on the subject, characterized es-
pecially by their scientific accuracy,
declares that six inches Is the best
width Of tire for combination farm
and road wagon and that large num-
Der Of tests show, without single ex-
ception, difference in draft in favor
of the broad tires ranging all the way
from II to 100 per cent.
Now that the adoption Of state aid
has solved the financial problem con-
nected with road improvement In the
United States care should be taken that
the roads we build are not destroyed
by narrow tires. Country districts re-
ceiying financial aid for road purposes
out of the state treasury should do all
In their power to encourage the use of
wide tires. This has been accomplish
ed in some places by exempting all
wide tired vehicles from taxation.

WHEELER, A STATESMAN AND
SOLDIER

Recently Gen. Joe Wheeler who has
bee2 in Cuba and isnow in the Pnilip-
pines gave utterance to the following
patriotic sentiments which the every
Evening "should read
'sThe time is past for tie people of
the United States to discuss the ques-
ti0n OF what is to be done with the
Philippines. For us to withdraw
would leave condition OF anarchy,
and foreigners who own property in
the country would have certainly a
strong moral claim against the United
States for their losses. The people who
have business interests and property
would apply to some strong Govern.
ment, Germany for instance, to come
with an army and restore order. The
people generally want peace. The &C.
tion of some people in the United
States In asserting that the people Of
the Philippines ought to have indepen-
dence does a great deal Of harm.
Aguinaldo publishes all such assertions,
tells his supporters that If they hold
out until winter, Independence will be
given item. The people who are dis
posed to be favorable to us and who
desire US to govern the islands fear 10
assert themselves, because ifthe Aneri-
cans should abandon them they would

YET LACKED COURAGE

This week was reported the suicide
Of William Anthony, widely known as
"Brave Billo Anthony, the marine
orderly whose coolress when the Maine
was going down under his feet to the
bottom Of Havana Harbor made him
self famous. BE could say to Captain
Sigstee without the quiver of an eye
lash, luting the while as IL discipline
were the only thing on earth worth car
ing much about: SSH, Ihave the nor
to inform you that the ship has been
blown up and is sinking" YET he could
not endure the ordinary trials Of life
with that patient fortitude which
marks many o hero of another kind.
In one Of his pockets was found let
ter addressed to bis aunt In which An.
thony said he was disconsolate and dis
couraged, and was going to end it all.
A photograph of good looking woman
who 1t was said is Anthony's wife, was
also found in his breast pocket. On
1t was written, "Bury this with me"
For thirty years Anthony knew sol
dierly discipline yet failed to acquire
that moral control of self which is the
only true courage after all. 1t would
seem that the world fails to recognize
many Of its true heroes, but it matters
little. They know their courage if
others do not.

RUIN THE HIGHWAYS.
Narrow Tires Destroy the Work
the Road Builder.

Narrow Tires Destroy the Work ~
the Road Builder.
Next to water, the greatest enemy OF
good roads-yes, Of all roads-is the
narrow tired wagon. Narrow tires and
water, acting together. have given our
country roads third dimension. They
are not only so many miles long and
20 many rods wide, but they are deep
so deep, alas, at times that travel
over-or, rather, through-them is next
to impossible.
A heavily loaded wagon always
leaves its tracks on the highway, and
the depth Of these tracks depends
upon the material of which the road
is built, the weight of the load and the
width of the tires. The rut formed by
the passing wagon forms trough for
the rain, which, instead Of running of
to the side, as it should do, remains to

on the Arcade from his corner

Don't we all wish we knew
what those laughing eyes

What glad surprises he has
for the children! But he can't
be coaxed to tell his secrets.
