he said, "that with strong ticket

that the Republican party Is split

subordinate personal opinions and

Wherever Big sums are now
Spent for Temporary 1m-
nrnvhmant9
prOVenentS.


Report is current that more than
SO, 100000 are spent annually in
This country for the temporary i'm
provement of the public highways.
l significant sum, when it is con-
Iaidered that it's expenditure leaves
the country in no better condition
Ethan before it's use, The money
spent in repairing the roads is prac-
ticalIy waste, for it gives no per-
manenoy to the improvement. A
bridge may be put in tomorrow,
and next week itwashes out; man
hole may be filled this week and
next week rain transforms it into
the same old mudhole. A rut may
Ebe corrected, and in less than "a
lhours the work is made void and
hence has to be repeated.
There 10 need for Improvement
and repairs which shall be perma-
manent and substantial-not only
of value tomorrow, but for all
time to come. It were better and
more economical thoroughly to i'm
prove one mile of road than to
throw up a dump in the middle of
20 miles of road and allitimproved.
The lack of permanency in the bet
terment of our thoroughfares is
the feature of the good roads ques-
tion to which large importance
should and does attach.
We have no definite plan for the
improvement of the roads, that at
this time would be universally
adopted with good results, but in
the absence of plan we are in the
midst of so many bad roads as to
compel the recognition of vast
need of feasible and practicable
method. We all know the present
system is failure, costly blunder
and unsatisfactory everywhere, and
believe that new system is bound
to be ushered in at an early day.
In sections of Indiana and some
other states macadam roads have
been constructed, and the service
is perfect. Where the materials
for macadamizing are at hand,
there is no better way of perma-
nently improving the highways.
It is not necessary to argue the val
ue of improved roads to farmers,
how they would enhance the value
of land, improve the social condi-
tions in the country, and enable
farmers to get better prices for their
products in that they could get
them to market when prices we're
high. Everybody believes we
should have good roads, but the
people are not active enough in
their demands, and not agreed as
to methods which will insure eff
fective action. There needs to be
concentration of effort, especially
among the farmers, and agitation
and thought should be constant,
since both precede action. What
properly may be called good road
is one on which the farmer can haul
heavy loads during rainy weather;
one in which there are no ruts,
washouts and bumps; one that is
good when the weather is bad, and
over which q team may pull an
empty wagon without experiencing
that fatigue 30 common on the
rough, rutty, ragged roads which
annually are worked at large ag
gregate expense and improved in
general uneYenness.-Far Re-
view.
