Washington, Feb. 14.-Senator Knox
made an address in the senate today
in support Of Senator Shoots title
to seat in the senate as a represen-
tative from Utah. He strongly oppos-
ed the report of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections which fav-
ors the ousting of Smoot. Knox in
sisted that Smoot should not be ex-
PEELED because of his Mormonism, as
the United States guarantees relig-
ious federation. He should not be ex-
PEELED even if he approved of polyg-
amy, as there is no federal law ag-
ainst polygamy applicable to Utah.
Subject to the constitution, Knox
said, "the states are left u1trammel-
led in the right to choose senator's"
1T is an easy step after the first one
is taken,' continued Knox, because
of mans religion, to take the next
and logical one of exclusion because
of the mans politics, and then be-
cause of his attitude toward certain
legislation

How Small Birds Make Long Joul'
neys,


II has often been asked how small
AMI weak birds manage to fly such
enormous distances when migrating.
As a rule, however says writer,
small birds that have come very far
across the sea have not flown. but
have been blown over during violent
gales, and many of them arrive on
land in half dead condition
In fair weather small birds make
long journeys successfully over con.
siderable tract Of ocean, but the roa.
son Is that they are carried on tho
backs of the larger ones. When pass.
ing an autumn In Crete, a writer as.
serts that he distinctly heard the
twittering of small birds when 1ockg
of sand cranes were passing overhead
on their way to southern shores. on
another occasion, when firing "A gun,
he saw three small birds rise from
tho flock and disappear again among
the cranes. A native priest assured
him that they came from Europe with
them, while II has been found that
small birds never before seen I'm co,',
tain parts, have been brought thithor
at IT, es of migration
Another cause is that small birds
do not make their journeys in one
flight They generally rest during
the day, searching for food and thus
proceed to their destination by easy
stages.

The state geological survey has is
sued a bulletin on the rural highways
of Wisconsin, II Is designed by the
survey To be preliminary and some.
what general in character as It is
hoped indeed that the study OF high.
ways may be continued In a more
detailed manner II this Is done It
is planned TO issue a numUer OF short
pamphlets dealing with particular
phases OF highway work This bulle.
tin is written by W. ., Hotchkiss,
who has charge of the economic geo,
logical work OF the survey.
The bulletin embraces two PARTS.
the first of which deals with the fun.
damcntal principles of road construc-
ton, In this part tho subject OF
proper location diirerent methods of
construction, road machinery, best
methods of maintaining the common
country roads, and bridges and cul.
verts are considered, Tho subject OF
location Is taken up largely as q pro.
hlem of the expenditure of money.
and the question WIN it pay or not
pay| is kept thoroughly In mind. In
treating of the subject of methods
of construction particular attention IN
paid to ways of making dirt roads
from the different kinds OF soil which
the road officers nave to deal with.
In the chapter on road machinery
some interesting tables are given con-
corning the costs OF building roads
with the various kinds Ca tools In use.
The chapter on road maintenance
might principally be read by every of.
fetal having anything TO do with the
country roads, as the lack OF mainte.
nance Is the most important way In
which the money and efforts OF the
TAX payers are wasted. Tho chapter
on bridges and culverts takes up in an
elementary way the principles of
bridge and culvert construction
The second part deals with the con.
ditions of the roads and tho present
highway system of Wisconsin. In
this part some interesting statements
are made which were collected by
the writer from over three thousand
sets Of questions which were sent
ont To town clerks, farmers aud rural
free delivery carriers. From this
data 1t Is evident that there IL an
enormous loss to the tax payer due
TO the present faulty system under
which poor methods of construction
and waste are altogether too com.
mon. The writer estimates this loss
at over a million dollars a year. and
we can but feel that II anyone win
