Improved roads are being construct
ed, ostensibly on the plans of Mac.
adam or Telford, but without the
foundation which alone can make such
roads permanently satisfactory. When
finished, they look well. But they will
not last Again, the mistake is being
made on roads that were properly built
Of neglecting breaks and holes until
they reach serious proportions. It is
false economy and it is ruinous to the
road. The true plan is to have the
road constantly watched, and the mo-
ment even the least fault is detected
correct it. \ right beginning is as es-
sential to the road itself as to the tray
eler thereon. And eternal vigilance is
the price Of good roads just as much as
it is of liberty.

lack of consideration for England and
her foreign Office. Probably if they
were made to realize that their wi1fu1-

the final confscation of their country
by the British was actually putting
England in an embarrassing position
in China and elsewhere they would
gladly lay down their arms.

CONSIDERING Robert M. La Fol-
1ette's brilliant qualities of mind and
his splendid services as Congressman,
the Republican party must feel regret
that, by allowing personal feelings to
outweigh greater considerations and
vau1ting ambition to over1eap itself,
one who might have been so great an
ornament to the party and served insits
highest offices with such excellence
has put an impeachment in his own way
or, mayhap, lost irretrievab1y the golden
opportunities that otherwise were his.
Had La Toilette been allowed to con-
tinue longer his career as Congress-
man there can be no doubt that he
would today have been one whom the
party delights to honor. Or had he
been content to accept the situation of
1896 with greater grace and equani-
nifty; had he shown himself devoted
to the interests of the party and will
ing to serve in lesser capacities rather
than thrusting himself unbidden into
positions where he was not wanted; in
short, had he proven himself superior
to se1fshness and resentment, the time
would not have been long in coming
when the party would have sought him
out and exalted him to place betting
his abilities.
| Why in the name of common sense,
Mr.. La Toilette, could not lou have
acted like a little man rather than in
this very uppish, very disagreeab1e
manner? Think what YOU might have
been to yourself, to the party, to the
state, and even to the nation if you
had not kicked up such a fracas and
conducted yourself in manner alto
gether more becoming to the most
eccentric army mule than to a man
of brains like yourself. But it's toe
late to lament now. The milk is
spilled. Perhaps, however, if you
were to discreetly retire, drop all your
pretensions and work out your pen.
ance in quiet private life, your political
custodians might prove more 1enient
than you deserve and on some bright
morning you might awake to find
yourself again famous and your pet
am billions nearer realization than you
had ever dreamed.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-07-05

THERE are two elements entering
into the gubernatoria1 contest this
year in the Republican party that look
very favorable to La Toilette. The
first is La Toilette himself, and the
second is that element in the party
which, for better or for worse, is u1-
a1terab1y and unutterab1y partisan. A
strong man always inspires fear and
respect even among those who at heart
condemn his principles and motives.
Mr.. La Toilette is strong man. He
has proved himself a man of brains
and resources, courage and indomita-
BILE determination. Notwithstanding
he has twice already been given dis
tinct1y to understand that he is dis
tasteful to the Republican party at
large, he ''Bobs" up again altogether
unruff1ed by former rebuffs. And not
withstanding he now comes again,
after making all sorts of eliminating
charges against the Republican party,
through its representatives in the
State government, asking the Repub-
lican party to receive him as leader,
to present him with the highest honor
in its gift in the State, and at the ex-
pense of compromising with what it
has formerly emphatically condemned,
and denying men who have faith
fully followed the party standards
even against the malicious attack of
this same te-notwithstandin g
all this, those Republican editors and
supposed Republican party leaders who
were so conspicuous in the van of oppo-
sition to La Toilette, and denunciatior
of LaFo11etteism, are now siding into d
position from which they can flop over
to the object of their former vindictive.
ness with as little i11grace and com.
motion as possible. And why? Be
cause La Toilette is a strong man and
because strong men are feared.
LaFo11ette's chances are also i'm.
proved by the fact thai his present
strength nu11ifies part of the opposition
that would naturally be his to meet
This arrested opposition is represented
by those who never will make their
wants or wishes known unless the
action of the great factotums of the
party have placed their approval or
them, and that other class of politicians
composed too largely of editors, who
invariably hold themselves in allegiance
until the party, and themselves with it
has been committed. These are the
ones, who, for reasons either. good Of
bad, hold party considerations above
all others.

agriculture in 1895, when it received
data from over 1900 counties from all
over the country and found that the
average cost of hauling ton load one
mile was % cents, while the average
cost in six European countries that
possessed improved highways was al
most exactly one-third as much. More
than one factor enters into the cost of
hauling, but the main reason why our
farmers pay three times as much per
mile as European farmers pay is that
they can haul, on an average, only one
ton over poor dirt roads, while the
European farmer hauls from three to
four tons at load over fine highways.
No one knows the total mileage of
our common roads, but their length in
New York state is estimated at 1000
miles, says the New York Sun. The
more important highways Of Massa-
chusetts have mileage of 20,500 miles.
All students Of highway improvement
agree that the condition of most of the
common roads in America is about
that of the English roads early in this
century, when they were so bad and
toll rates so high that the question of
improvement was forced upon the
British public. England had no rail
roads then, and if it had not been for
the wonderful development of our rail
roads the question of highway i'm
provement would have come to the
front long ago in this country. The
people, however, are more and more
impressed every year with the fact
that road Improvement is necessary to
reduce the cost of hauling, to make
roads fit for pleasure driving and to
save the enormous waste of labor now
expended on bad roads. When we
fully understand that there is no eco
nomical way to obtain good roads ex-
cept by building the best, our practical
education will have made long step.
This lesson has not yet been learned
thoroughly. Many of our so called
good roads are not the best and there
fore are not economical. The men
who built them would have done bet
ter work and spent no more money if
they had profted by the experience Of
England and France.
Maryland has gone about the work
OF road improvement in a way that
promises excellent results. The state
has recognized the fact that geological
considerations are a most important
factor in good road making. In 1898
the general assembly passed bill for
the annual expenditure of $4,000 by
the geological survey in the investiga-
ton of road construction in the state.
The first published result in this com
prehensive report on the distribution
of the rock material required for good
road making, on the failure of the
improved" roads to meet the needs of
modern traffic, chiefly owing to the
fact that they were built without COM
petent engineering supervision and
without care as to grades and drainage
and on many other practical matters.
The report will help to place road inn
provement in Maryland on an intelli-
gent basis. 1t should likewise pro-
mote the cause of good roads through
out the country.

FORTUNATELY for the country at
large the crop in the winter wheat belt
promises to be large enough to offset,
in some degree, the deficiency in the
spring wheat crop of Minnesota aud
the Dakotas. Kansas, it seems, is this
year to carry off the honor so long worn
by Minnesota, of being the banner
wheat state. It's crop is reported to be
the largest ever known. It's corn crop,
too, promises to duplicate or exceed
the enormous yield of 1899.

All should Be Taxed.

That a part of the burden Of road
taxes should be borne by the cities and
towns there can be no question. And
why should they not? They are IN
questionably as greatly interested in
the improvement of the roads as are
the people of the country districts.
Their interests are to a great extern
mutual and inseparable, the one de-
pendent upon the other, a fact thai Is
patent to all thinking men and needs
no argument at this juncture to prove.

ROADS OF MARYLAND
MILLIONS WASTED ON THEM IN THE
LAST TEN YEARS.

Report of the Geological Survey

OF Improvement Has Begun.
The report of the Maryland geolog
ical survey for 1899 announces that the
people of that state have expended
over $6,00O,O0O in the last ten years on
their common roads; most Of the mon
ey has been wasted in continual re
pairing. Many Of the roads have no
natural drainage. They are bad roads
a part or all of the time. The survey
has made a careful estimate, showing
thai it costs the people of Maryland
100000 a year more to do their haul
ing over poor highways than it would
cost if they were turned into first rate
roads.
This estimate supplements the infor
