State Engineer w. W. Crosby, after
inspecting roads in the New England
States and on Long Island, where tar has
been used in road construction by being
mixed with the soil to the depth of four
to six inches and then rolled. is of the
opinion that by the adoption of this
method solution of the road quetiop on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland may be
found, where stone is scarce and sand
and gravel abundant.
Tar can be procured in large quantities
and cheaply and be estimates the cost OF
such roads at $4,000 to $500 per mile,
whereas stone road could not be con-
structed for double that amount.
Tar roads thus far constructed have
proven excellent and lasting roadways.
In dry weather the tar lasts much better
than macadam, and automobiles are not
so destructive. On Long Island, where
tar roads have been in use for three years,
they show no wear and in California
asphalt tar roads show but little wear
after period of ten years use.

An exchange in discussing Bryan and

An exchange in discussing Bryan and
his recent defeat says anyone who thinks
his career closed is blind, indeed. Mr..
Bryan will probably never belpresident Of
this country. With Clay, Webster and
Calhoun, Blaine and Reed, he will pass
beyond with great aud worthy ambition
urrealized. But William ] Bryan does
not need the presidency TO insure him a
great place in history. The future will
be kinder to Mr.. Bryan than the present
or the past. When few generations
shall have gone by and we all shall be no
more, Bryan and his career, Bryan and
his principles will be properly revered.
They say Bryan is defeated. We say a
noble career like his can know no defeat.
Today the Union is still for Bryan aud
the things for which he stands.
