Good Ronds nnd Wide Tires.

There Is a growing sentiment In
Pennsylvania, which gains strength
with the building Of every mile Of
improved highway, to protect the per
manence Of the good work that is be-
Ing accomplished by means Of a wide
tire law. Such a measure should be
enacted by the next Legislature, says
the Good Roads Magazine. The state
ment that the farmers object on the
score Of expense or on other pleas
draws Il picture Of class Of farmers
which Il emphatIcally not The back
bone Of the nation as our early ora
tors used to designate the tiilers Of
the soil. for the intelligent. wide awake,
clear headed mar. whose judgment is
sound. whose vote is invariably In the
line Of progress and whose opinions
are respected by his neighbors and
whose barns are painted, stock well
fed and balance at the end Of the year
on the right side, has In most instances
already adopted wide tires az matter
Of economy For any legislator TO OPP
pose such regulation on behalf of
his constituents Is an added argument
for compulsory education.

A ROCK GKusHER.

directly In front of the academy and
along a stretch of country nearly as
smooth as the top of a billiard table.
The rock crusher, which is the impor-
tant machine of the outfit, is located
midway of the work. At the time the
construction began great hill of hard
limestone was deposited near the
crusher. From the crusher the rock is
carried to revolving screen, which
separates 1t into the three classes used.
The power is supplied by an ordinary
traction engine. A 10000 pound steam
roller passes over the road constantly,
smoothing down the surface until 1t is
nearly ms hard as solid rock. The
pressure Is equivalent to about 40
pounds to the square inch.
d. G. Hare, the expert in charge of
the construction, says that any county
whose land is worth from $50 to $40 an
acre can afford good rock roads.
1.-THE permanent road is the cheapest
road" said Mr.. Hare. AT the outset 1t
looks like tremendous expense when
compared with country methods of
building highways but in the long run
the rock road will pay for itself over
and over again. In some sections
where we have built such roads the
advanced price of land has nearly paid
the expense in one year. A farming
community to be prosperous must be
able to reach the market in bad wealth
err as well as good. The well construct
ed highways make 1t matter of indif-
ference whether it rains or not An
other thing, and 1t Is an important one,
investors from the east will hardly look
at country where the highways are
full of mudhoies. They have been used
to good rock roads and would not feel
Mt home without them"
The first mile of n country highway
constructed according to government
plans may cost anywhere from $4,000
to $1,000 The expense is governed by
the distance of the quarry from the
road, the price of labor, etc The sec
ond mile, however can be built cheaper,
because by that time the men and
teams are more familiar with the work
and can accomplish greater amount
in less time The method employed by
the government in its object lesson
roads Is MS follows:
In the first place, Il smooth. hard sub
grade Is prepared, with solid shoulders
ut the side To hold the grading material
firmly in place. The subgradc Is of the
same contour that the completed road
will be. Tho rock Is crushed and
screened in three different sizes, the
largest from two to two and half
inches in diameter, the next about an
inch or m inch and quarter, the third
fine pieces. known as screen dust"
This latter is used for filing and bind
ing the surface. The largest rock is
laid Oh the bottom, tie intermediate
comes next and the dust goes on top
1t Is hammered into all the spaces be
tween the larger rock Each course is
rolled several times by the large steam
roller Water Is used freely when ap-
plying the fine stone 4 sprinking
cart precedes the roller, which follows
along, creating "A wave of cement The
finished road is nearly rs smooth and
hard as solid stone and as the sub
grade Is impervious to water II IN prac-
tlcaIly indcstructible Twelve feet is
the average width Of a government

A good many people in the United
States are firmly of the opinion that
Cuba will never be free and we'll gov
erned until it is part of the domain
of the United States. There are
those who believed at the time of
the hauling down of the American flag
that it was mistaken concession to
sentiment and to the worlds public
opinion, following the declaration at
the time of the Spanish American war
that our intervention was in the name
of humanity and not for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT There is a rebelli-
Gus sentiment in Cuba that fans into
flame every time an election goes
wrong. Every Cuban seems to have
in him the seeds of rebellion that will
terminate when he is aggrieved at
the government. Certainly this is a
poor basis for republican govern
ment, whose measure of Success
comes from cheerful acquiescence in
the will of the majority. 1t would be
far better for Cuba and for the COM
mercial interests there if it were part
of the United States. And if the
! United States is forced to intervene
again in the name of humanity it is
more than probable that when the
flag goes UP it will stay there.
