thirty or forty camp fires. These

the people gather to spend the twi-

there is no dearth of artists to

R(lAD MAKING IN FRANCE.

One of the consuls in France reports
to the G overnnlent plan used by
French roadmakers to prevent the
deepening of roadside bitches and the
washing away of grades and embank-
,ments. On hillsides and wherever wa
ater disch argos rapidly he says the
bitches or cutters are separated into
short levels by steps of stone, forming
la series of miniature waterfalls, by
which plan the flood water makes it's
descent without erosion of the ditch or
causing damage to the sides of the
road. Great care is taken also to give
relief to drainage bitches by frequent
transverse culverts. Steam rollers are
used of q size to repair the whole width
|of a road at one operation.
In France roads are clased as ma
Itional, with a maximum grade of per
cent: de partmental, with a maximum
s;ade of per cent; local roads, with d
Zimuin grade of per cent Five
arpt is the maximum, except in

An Interesting Reply.

j. l.. Burroughs, Esq, Newburg, Ia.
Dear Sir. l rely to your letter with
pleasure. To show you how men diff
fer and how they are affected by this
or that argument, l will say that neth-
err Alfred Burroughs nor myself could
recall the article you refer to. Now
that the paper is before me, ! want
to say, l read do You Blame Him."
and it made no impression whatever.
1t seemed to me too transparent to de-
serve notice.
The men who conduct the Herald
are strange men. They seem to be
sore at everything and everybody
They have always assailed Cummins
when opportunity offered, but have
done it in such an indirect manner
that they have always been ready with
denial when accused. w. G. Ray is
a son-in-law of the late r. NJ. Haines.
Frank Herriott son of John Herriott.
is also Il son-in law of Mr.. Names.
Neither of these sons-inlaw have ever
forgiven the Cummins people for de-
feating John Herriott in 1901. John
Herriott is an honest old man and
respectable old man, but he is narrow
and vindictive. and he never represent
ed in politics anything but desire
to hold office. This desire, it seems,
is confined to his family. He is a
druggist in Stuart a man of no great
learning and of merely average abil-
ity. He wants now to be governor,
but the republicans of his own county
-Guthrie--have repudiated him be-
cause they regard him as ridiculous.
Now, as to the article in the Her
aid, the "old republican wheel-horse"
is either myth or he is an awful liar.
Senator Blank, it is safe to say, never
had any existence. Mr.. CumminS. as
governor of Iowa, has no more to do
with the tariff than a last years birds
nest He has his views, as any intel
ligent well read man has, and he some
times expresses them. majority of
the republicans in this state think he
is right. He believes and says that
the steel schedule and the sugar sche-
dule are too high. He also says there
should be no tariff on lumber. He also
believes in reciprocity treaties such as
Mckinley advocated, and such as
Blaine negotiated while secretary of
state, and which the selfish interests
in the senate. led by such men as Aid
rich and Elkins, repudiated. Do you
think Aldrich and Elkins are better
than Mckinley and Blaine?
Cummins, as governor, stands for
certain things. He is opposed to that
form of bribery known as the railway
pass. He is for state wide primary
that will give to every man great
or small, rich or poor, the same voice
in nominating that he has in electing.

movement for good government began
In 1900. Governor Drake led his DEM
ocratic opponent by 59,2S6. Shaw new
err did quite SO WELL leading the first
time by 29,S16 and the second tirne by
56,163. But when Cummins first head
ed the republican ticket his lead over
the democrats rose to S3,119, and the
second time his plurality was 1909.
No republican candidate for governor
in Iowa has ever reached this mark so
we can't accuse Cummins of Destroy
ing our majorities.
Possibly the retirement of few
more wheel horses might have bene-
fetal effect. When We have secured

4 STAGGERING BLOW FOR PERKINS.

iWapetlo county, one of the citadels of
the Burlington influence, fell into the
hands of the Cummins forces yester-
day. Five out OF seven wards in OF
tumwa gave Cu,rpmilrs majorities. Two
wards went for Perkins. Clrnmins al
so carried Eldon, which, with the dele
gates previously elected by country
precincts, gives the progressiVes con-
troll of thu, county convention and as
sures an instructed CMnnins delega
ton Of twenty-six delegates from Wa
peMo to tie state convention. 1t was a
crushing blow to the Blythe manage
ment and the hopes of Mr. Perkins.
In Harrison and Keokuk counties the
standpatters were obliged to fight DIS
perately to hold their own. Mr.. Per-
kins carried these counties, which have
always been conceded to the standpat-
tiers. Wa2ello had been counted in the
Perkins column. 1t was deemed I'M
nossihle that the railroad interests
could be defeated there, and standpat
papers have for several days bulletined

eighteen sotes against Cunnains in

a gain of thirty-nine votes. Sfanopat-

In sight.
