mAcADAM IN COUNTRY.
Cost Of Maintenance Is Not High "
Work Is Done Right.

Someone has said that the mainten-
ance of macadam road should begin
ON the day the road is completed. In
a sense this statement is not far from
the truth. II is usually not necessary
TO do much TO the macadam surface
for a year or two. but the cutters.
catch basins and culverts must be
kept clean. the weeds along the road
sides cut or. preferably pulled out by
the roats. and the small gullies In the
shoulders and on the slopes filled be
fore they become too large.
II Is quite possible. particularly IL
the road was built in the fall OF the
year and trap rock was used, that
loose stones will appear on the surface
the first spring after the road is
opened TO travel. These need not
alarm the road Official. They should
be picked up and stacked for future
use. II is astonishing how a few
loose stones on the surface of a mac
adam road will have the appearance
OF great number. so that the unin-
formed always think, and frequently
state. that the road is going 10 pieces
II is a fact that often such stones will
disappear into the macadRm after the
hrst rain.
OF course the macadam will become
worn in time and need repair. No
one can state accurately how much OF
the macadam surface will wear on In
given time. The dlctum, heard so
often. that the macadam will wear
down one-half inch in a years use Is
fallacy. The length OF life OF a
properly built macadam road depends
especially upon the volume and kind
OF traffic over II. the quality OF the
stone OF which It is composed. and
its peculiar fitness 20 resist the wear
to which Il Is subjected. and also upon
the climatic conditions OF the locality.

So far as President RoosevelPs sllega-
iious agsinst Charles N. Haskell are
concerned, Bryan is not troubled. He
has given Haskell time to prove his
innocence of the charge that he is an
agent of the Standard Oil Company, aud

clared Haskell will be forcibly removed

psign. But President Roosevel's dec
lsration that he Is untitled to be presi-
debt and the evident inclination Of the
president to fight Tsft's battle himself
interests the democratic candidate.
Bryan is now considering the adyiss-
bilty of eliminating Judge Taft entirely
and paying attention only to Mr.. Roose-
welt.
1t seemed certain for time this morn
ing that Haskell would be removed SIS
treasurer Of the democratic committee.
Bryan would have done this before now
had not certain democrats demand that
he be given q chance to prove that the
charges are not true. These men came
to Mr.. Bryan and again declared that
fact. Mr.. Bryan refused to do so. He
went farther even than have his oppo-
nents and declared Haskell must show
his own fclean bill of health" or he
would be removed from Office and pub
licly discredited.
On coming into Ohio, Bryan has dis
cussed Mr.. Haskell at length With the
men who know him best. He has been
the recipient of much advice, but he
personally has not expressed any opin-
ion or forecssted his action. So the
matter has resolved itself into the
original proposition as set forth at De-
troit: "If Haskell is in any way con-
uected with Standard Oil, he will be
driven out Of the party; if he can prove
that he Ia not, he will remain"

His answer to Mr.. Brysn's challenge is
by no means satisfactory, as the Presl-
dent states nothing of his own knowl-
edge, but quotes magazine articles and
triDgs forward hearsay evidence that
would be thrown out 10 any court OF
