EDITOR MESSAGE: l have intend
ed to write you a few lines on road

best to wait till l cooled off little,
as you know the people all look on
me as a sort of inoffensive crank.
Fortunate for the people, l am
only cranky on one subject at a
time.
l will say that this split log drag

thing BETTER, but drag made z
feet out of solid oak, 8x9, with an
old grader blade fastened on the
back piece, set two inches below
the square piece on the back tim
Der, and let the front piece knock
off the rough and fill up the low
ruts or holes and the back piece
cut and fill up what the front
piece fails to do, will convince
anyone on earth that the drag
system solves the road question,
whether in prairie or clay roads.
One drag of this kind would be
enough for any road district. l
have drug FIVE miles north and
south by my place and you can
blindfOld any one and take him a
circuituous route and he can tell
when he strikes this road.
Iwaut to say a word III regard
to the former way of working
roads, which suppose is accord
ing to law (Which l hope the. time
of this ignorance and injustice
God will wink at) as any man with
enough common sense to stay in
the country knows is wrong, much
less man sent to represent us in
the Legislature.

Then after this oyerseer is sworn

the 1896 campaign than it would
have suffered from the triumph of
free silver. lamentahle as that
would have been, Bryan's tri-
umph of free silver would have
given the markets terrible shock,
