HUGHES AND THE TRUSTS

In the financial column OF The New
York JournaI OF Commerce on Jam
uary Is II was said: downtown
bankers are thinking Of organizing to
support Governor Hughes for the
Presidency. He Is ardently supported
by STANDARD Oil, but he may not care
TO have this fact widely advertised"
As The Journal OF Commerce is the
most reliable authority of finance and
business, no doubt the information
that Governor Hughes is 'ardently
supported by the Standard Oil trust
influence Is true. Where all the cash
came from that elected him Governor
has been disputed question. Some
said the Wall Street bankers furnish
ed the DOODLE" but as the Rockefel-
Ter interests are so ardently support
ing Governor Hughes for the Presi-
dency probably the same interests
furnished the bulk Of his campaign
fund when running for Governor and
will no doubt try to swamp the democ-
raoy with its millions II Governor
Hughes Is the Republican candidate
for President. These Republican re-
formers have queer connections and
will bear watching.

II the Government is to guarantee

If the Government Is to guarantee
banks creditors against the bank,
why not guarantee the bank against
the banks debtors; in other words,
guarantee loans as well as deposits?
But is It faif to put the Govern

more dangerous to a democracy than
special privilege. Let us therefore be
careful to apply this great principle Of
Government guarantee 80 that there

road every possible care and atten-
ton IL its location, drainage, con-
struction and maintenance.
An earth road composed of water
holding soil should be exposed to the
sun and air as freely us possible, as
comparison between the shaded and
sunny portions Of such II road will
easily Indicate. This should be ac-
ro'npliShed by clearing sufficient
amount Of trees and underground
away from thr road. 1t must be re-
memh"rcd. however, that sandy and
%rave!ly roads require moisture, and
III the%a cases some shade should be
retained. Furthermore, trees are
beneficial along river banks and On
steep grades subject to washing.
Drainage is one of the most i'm
portant points to consider in con-
ncction with an earth road. The ma
Jorlty OF earth roads in all mountain-
Gus ana hilly districts have too much
drainage. Occasionally road will
be Found with five bitches. three in
The middle made by the horses hoofs

two on the sides. All wcll-construct
cd earth roads are supposed to have
no more than two bitches, one on
each side Of the Travelled roadway.
Keep the water out of the middle of
the road by giving it crown of ele-
walton in the center Of 7 1-2 inches
above the top of the inner slope Of
the ditch for 20-foot road, and
where the hills are a little steep

From the center to the sides, the dit
| chcs which are often built across the
road on steep grades to deflect the
water will not be needed Instead
OF carrying water across the road in
open bitches, tile or concrete drains
should, if possible, be provided. They
should have sufficient capacity and
fall to carry the maximum amount of
water that is expected to flow
'Ht'u-H lhtlIi itl any one Time. Inc
capacity is increased in proportion
to the fall or grade; for instance,
l2-inch pipe laid on one per cent
grade will carry $500 gallons per
minute, while tho same pipe laid on
per cent grade viii carry $500
gallons per minute. Furthermore,
culvert laid flat will soon fill up.
while one having good incline will
keep itself clear.
In the maintenance of an earth
road, avoid the mistake of changing
the natural order Of things. Natural
ly the soil is found on top and the
clay on the bottom. If this order is
reversed in constructing road, the
result will be less satisfactory than
if the soil be left at the top Of the
road. for soil makes better surfac.

is largely clay to start with, it will

Gov. Johnson's Platform,

If the Democratic party is sincere
in its desire to seek Democrat, pure

the leadership Of the party, what
fanlt can it find with Gov. johnson,
Of Minnesota? That able executive
of a single State is rapidly becoming
national figure through the sheer
force Of his democratic principles
and good common sense. What other
man so completely embodies in his
own political views the modern prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party7 In
him there is no taint Of populism, no
tendency to demagoguery, no inclina-
lion to cling steadfastly to some par
ticular, pet idea which he wishes to
force the party, willy-nilly, to swal-
low. But neither is he a sort Of po-
sitical bell buoy shifting his base ac-
'eording to the roll Of the waves. He
has come out frankly and stated the
platform on which he stands in no
equivocal terms. How does it COM
pare with the ideas of modern De-
mocracy9
'tilst. Gov. Johnson believes in a
tariff reform that will give III indus
tries al equal chance. That is De-
mocratic principle as cid as the par
ty. Next, he believes cmphatically
that The States alone, not the Federal
government, should have the power TO
remedy the corporate and other abus-
3s from which they individually suf-
fer, and that each State ought to
have power to punish the corpora
