ROOSEVELT AND THE oUAKERs.
His Denunciation of them I'm His "Life
of Thomas IL. Benton.c

Albany, N. Y, November lin re-
Spouse to many letters received by
Governor Roosevelt from members of
the Society of Friends, relative to a cir
cular, issued some weeks ago under
date of Philadelphia, quoting the gov
errors opinion regarding Friends and
non-resistance people, in his Life of
Thomas H. Benton, the governor today
made public his answer.
The aforesaid circular was distribut-
ed among the members Of the Society
of Friends throughout Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Ohio, Maryland and New York
and was addressed to the Friendly
voters.
The sentence quoted in the ircul
is as follows:
"A class of professional non-combat-
ants is as hurtful to the real healthy
growth of a nation as is a class of fire
eaters; for a weakness or folly nation
ally are as bad as vice or worse, and in
the long run a Quaker may be quite as
undesirable a citizen as is a duelist.
No man who is not willing to bear arms
and fight for his rights can give a good
reason why ne should be entitled to
the privilege of living in a free commu-
nifty"
. The answer is addressed to William
E. Walton, of Baltimore, Md, n in
it, the governor says:
1.-The sentence of mine which is COM
planned of, and which was written fiji
teen years age, was intended to ex-
press my disagreement both with the
man who acts on inadequate provoca-
ton and of the man who on adequate
provocation, fails to act. 1t would be
untrue to say tina I have altered my
convictions in the matter, but were 1
now to re-write the sentence, I should
certainly so phrase it that it could not
be construed as offensive to the Soci-
ETY. of Friends, a body whose social
virtues and civic righteousness justly
command universal respect"

agreement in the demands TO be made
upon the Chinese imperial govern
ment in satisfaction for the Boxer

communication with the ministers

which have come from them from

Our government has persistently held
to this view in the progress OF the
negotiations between the ministers at
Pekin, and If the principle OF this
contention a be maintained in the
combined note to be handed to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries, a decided
advantage win be had at the start.
The attitude of our government on
this subject has been made clear 70

Drainage affords the conditions

speedy development and complete ma
turity. 1t admits a free circulation
of air and moisture in the soil and
makes possible both animal and vege-
table life. 1t breaks down and mellows
stiff and otherwise untillable soil. 1t
induces chemical action to take place
in the land and thus prepares plant
food. 1t admits a deeper root growth
and gives a wider range from which TO
draw s~ustenance for the plant. 1t
makes it possible to secure greater
benefits from the application of both
yard and commercial manures. 1t re-
duces injury TO wheat and other crops
from freezing. 1t lengthens the time

WITH OIL.
IL Not Only s~upprexses Dust on Coun-
try Roads, But Makes Then Far
More Durable.

T. f. White talked not long ago TO
the Good Roads association of southern
California about some experiments
made by him at Chino. Fol the last
two years a good deal has been done
in his part of the country with oil OF
country roads, the prime object being
las on railroad beds) the suppression
of dust. This was the only thing
sought when Chino contracted for its
first lot of oiled roads, some 25 or 50
miles in length. But it was con dis
covered that oil might be made TO build
up a surface that would resist the wear
of travel. and that is the great aim
of the later practice there. Mr.. White
said that the roads were originally con-
structed by a contractor, who guaran-
teed "a dustless road" from May till
December. During the first season the
contractor sprinkled them three times.
Subsequently, the town undertook 10
care for the roads itself, and it was
then found hat one application of oil
would 90 more good than the con-
tractors three.
Oil sprinkled directly on a sandy or
a~lluvial road viii do little good, Mr..
White says. 1t should be surfaced with
a frmer material before the oil is ap-
piled. Sand. properly covered. makes
a wonderfully firm bed. When Mr..
White was put in charge of the roads
of Chino, he found a section of sand
half a mile long over which a clayey
| gravel had been hauled from a distance.
The stuff had once been used for max
ing bricks. Only a few inches of it
had been spread over the sand. Yet it
made a fine road for dry weather.
When wet. holes would work through
in a short time But by oiling the road
was greatly improved. The gravel
employed is peculiar to southern Cali
fornia, but Mr.. White is confident that
any disintegrated granite. such as may
be found in other states, would work
equally well.
In making new roads, he first graded
the foundation and then put on a layer
of this gravel seven inches thick in the
middle and six at the edges. Afterward
he made it nine inches thick in the
middle and eight on the sides. The
foundation was rolled hard and kept
wet just ahead of the gravel. HI lat
ter was also thoroughly soaked when
spread A heavy orchard cultivator
was u through it, while the water
was being poured on. Harrow and
roller were used to shape the road up,
and finally it was given a chance TO dry.
When the road had dried out to a
depth of fully two inches, it was care
fully swept and the oil put ID. The
first application should be liberal. On
a road Is feet wide Mr.. White puts from
100 to $50 barrels for each mile. Before
the oil is applied, it is heated to a tenn
perature of 300 degrees or over.
