MENACE TO GOOD ROADS.

stop Their Destruction by Autos.
Automobiles, in addition to becom.
Ing almost as deadly as trolley cars
are running the roads OF the country,
says Washington special dispatch to
the New York World. II is the best
roads and those on which the most
money has been spent that are being
ruined, as II only is ON these that the
automobilists go.
The problem is serious one, and
Logan W. Page. director Of public
roads OF the department Of agriculture,
Is making an Investigation of the sub
ject The roadmaking experts of his
bureau are experimenting with all
sorts Of material in the hope OF finding
something that will prevent the roads
from ''raveling."
Director Page in discussing this prob.
lem before the committee ON expendi-
lures In the department OF agriculture
made this significant statement:
zone Of the most difficult problems
which road builders have tc meet now
Is due to the greatly increased automo-
bile traffic. 1t is affecting most the
states that have spent the largest sums
Of money on their roads, because they
have the greatest number of automo-
blles on them. With an ideally con
structed stone road the qualities Of the
rock should be so adjusted to the traf-
fic to which II is subjected that Just
enough fine dust is worn off to cement
the larger fragments together.
"The automobile does not wear of
any fine dust. The wind and rain are
taking away the original binder and
that derived from the iron tired We
hlcles that go over II. The automobile
loosens the surface Of the road. ~
These heavy machines going at high
speed create a vacuum behind them
which sucks up the dust and throws II
In the air and loosens the roadbed, and
1t soon 'ravels,' a. the road builder
calls it-gets loose and goes to pieces.
II Ia the most expensive roads that are
thus affected"
The bureau has decided that II these
macadam or stone roads are to be per
manent the surface must be treated
with some material that will keep the
dust down and preserve II as a cement
to bind the road. Experiments have
been made with oils which have an as.
phaltum basis, and It has been found
that with an nsphaltum base Of 30 per
cent and over they help some. Crude
tar and other materials have been used,
but nothing quite satisfactory has yet
been found. ~ nHfl .D.

The home trader Is the home builder
The man who trades at home knows
a good trade when he sees It.
When you trade at home instead OF
by mail order you save both postage
and prestige.
Lots OF women refuse to take mai!
orders, but they are so fond OF sending
mail orders that they risk their cash
that way.
Some women sweep disdainfully by
bargains in the home stores and send
to the big city just because they like to
get mail.
In my opinion the man or woman
who trots around TO the postoftice IL
mail money to the big city mail order
houses and then trots around to a
neighbor's and complains that this
town is no good is neither a philoso.
pher nor patriot.

LITTLE EMERSON, of the
hyphenated rag down the street,
in the last issue of that unre-
liable excuse for newspaper,
gave evidence of trying to
emulate a cod fish in it's emo
toned moments, and actually
made an attempt at a sensa-
tional editorial. We under
stand, tho, at this writing he
has resumed his usual condition
of vacuity and bovine placidity.
AT last the great Haywood
case at Boise City. Idaho, has
been proughl 70 a close by an
acquit!al Of the accused, and it
y ts4ldent that the verdict meets
with the approval of the people
and puts the stamp of disap-
prevail in no uncertain manner
on the disreputable methods of
the Pinkerton detective agency,
whose only defense for the inn
morality of their way of detect
ing crime is the jesuitical one
that the ends justify the means.
The verdict also plainly shows
that the high-handed methods
of the'prosecution generally did
not find favor in the eyes of the
twelve men with whom the fate
of Haywood rested. The kid
mapping of the prisoner and
bringing him $50 miles into a
hostile community, and the bluff
fling arrest of the defense's
witnesses was not looked upon
with favor by the people and the
jury; and the villainous and
cold-blooded so called confession
of Harry Orchard was very evil
IDENTIFY taken with a very good
sized pinch of salt.

Yourself"
AS a matter of fact, to use the
most elegant language, Mr.. En-
erson is hiding behind a deliber-
ate falsehood. He knows, as do
others, that a copy of the Mar
ket Day program was written
expressly for the Banner-News
and put into the hands of an en-
ploye Of his office, in plenty of
time for publication. We do not
pretend to say what attack of
illness, bad temper or other diff
fculty, may have caused him to
refuse to publish it. We do
know that it is sneaking and
cowardly to attempt by deliber-
ate lying to fasten the censure
OF the public on some one else
when it rightfully belongs to
him. "Misre presenting to
shield himself" seems to be a
game that Mr.. Emerson can play
1t.

become a humiliation to the poet
and the historian, and the butt of
ridicule to the irreverent. Pigs and
cattle have reduced the basin Of the
beautiful spring to a mud-puddle;
vandal hands have carried off the

was born, and utter neglect sur
rounds the first home of the great

Realizing this neglect, and that this
farm birthplace was to be treated
with still greater indlgnity, by the
exploitations Of spectators, for vul-
gar show and unwholesome popular

under the auctioneer's hammer, and
now holds It in trust for the ma

A STATEMENT OF ITS WORK AND PURPOSE


The Lincoln Farm Association was
organized and Incorporated under the
laws of the state of New York early
in the month of February, 1906, by a
group of patriotic citizens, who be-
lievd that he people of cur country
should, through affiliating with this
Organization, develop the tarm in
Larue County, Kentucky, on which
Abraham Lincoln was born, into q
national park.
The association, prior to its incor-
poration, acquired the title to this
historic farm, consisting of one hun
dred and ten acres. The association
hopes to develop this property into
an attractive park, embelished by
historical museums and properly mon
umented, SO 1t may be complete for
dedication, On the 18th day Of Feb
ruary, 1909, which will be the centen-
nial of the birth of the great war
President. The association has al
ready recovered the cabin, in which
Lincoln was born, which was taken
from the property some years ago
by a speculation Snowman. who put
1t on exhibition at several of the
prominent fairs throughout the coun-
try.
The Lincoln Farm Association be-
lieve that the work Of building this
farm into a national memorial should
be accomplished by the American
people, and by their individual con-
tributions, and not through any ap-
preparation from Congress. or through
the subsidy of large private fortunes.
