TO Keep Roads Good.

The question is not how to make
good roads, but how to keep good
roads. 1t is evident that the travel.
and especially hauling, when roads are
soft from continued rains or especial
~ when the frost is coming out, does
the greatest damage The law pro
hibits heavy hauling at such times but
it is not often enforced Now the rem
ely propose is for the law to encour
aSe broad treads, says a writer in the
Indiana Farmer If all two horse wag-
onS had a tread of twelve inches and
SO arranged that the hind wheels
would not follow in the track Of front
wheels, only lap one or two inches
they would be like a roller, rolling for.
ty-four or forty-six inches, and buggies
and carriages four to six inch treads
This Woull do away with making
channels in the road by continued tray
ell in one place. OF course this could
not be brought about all at once, but
there should be stringent law against
narrow treads when roads are soft.
ana perhaps it would be we'll at first
to give 4 bounty for broad treads. 1t
would encourage the same, which,
think, solves the road problem.

HIGHWAY HINTS.
Some Points on Road Construction
and maintenance.


When a good road is built, proper
system of maintenance should be
adopted, as the most perfectly con
structed road will soon go to pieces un-
less kept in constant repair, like a wag-
on or building.
Water and narrow tires aid one an
other in destroying the roads, while. on
the other hand, wide tires are road
makers. They roll and harden the
surface, and every loaded wagon be
comes in effect a road roller
The practice of using too soft, toe
brittle or rotten material on roads can
not be too severely condemned Rock
for road building should be both hard
and tough and should by all means
possess cementing qualities.
Good material and careful mainte-
nance are the two most important req
uisites to a good road, but the first
without the second is a waste of labor
and money
The difference in the action of mar
row tire and wide one is about the
same as the difference between a crow
bar and a tamper-the one tears up, the
other packs down
1t is a very ordinary circumstance in
France or Germany or Belgium to hear
Of Americans who are starting out IN,
on tour of SO or 100 miles in parties
Of three or four vehicles and twenty to
fifty people They spend large amounts
Of money in the country through which,
these tours are taken. What is left
there by the tourists who take advan-
tage of these good roads is itself sulii-
cient to pay the interest upon the cost.

The Philadelphia Record has a notably
strong leader upon it, the first two para
graphs being as follows:
president Roosevelt's letter of accept
ancc stretches to the dimensions of a
pamphlet. 1t is longer than some of the
gospels. That part of it which is at once
really pertinent and important is con-
tanned in the first sentence. The rest is
mainly TRADE; an unwarranted imputa-
tion of insincerities, inconsistencies and
misstatements upon the part of his politi-
cal opponents, and an equally unwarranted
brag of the perfection of his own admins
trative exploits and policies. On this
basis of blame on the one hand and boast
on the other. he builds his argument and
makes his appeal to the country.
"Therc never before has been issued
from the White House on any occasion a
missive of public character couched in
language of such studied insult to one
half of the people of the United States.
1t reads like a speech from the throne of

of a public servant giving an account of
his stewardship. II is a breaking forth
which makes only too evident what has
been going on in the bottled-up seclusion
of Oyster Bay"
