THE TOLL OF BAD ROADS.

The reports made by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture declare that 1t
costs as much to haul wheat nine
miles in a wagon as 1t does to send
1t across the ocean. This Is due
largely to bad roads. The wear and
tear on the farmers wagon and on
his stock Is tremendous, because OF
the unfavorable conditions under
which the work Is done.
The good roads of Europe cut the
price of hauling loads just in half;
and figuring that 25O,o00000 tons are
ha,p.ed annually by the farmers in
this country. the excess cost over
what 1t would be in Europe is $685.
900 900 n year. This is certainly out
side of Incidental expenses such as
the increased cost Of living, the time
taken. the wear upon the man and
beast, and so on.
The recent good roads convention
in this city may be the means of call
ing attention TO the conditions In
our own, state. We have a large
state, with great distances from town
to town, but yet a great deal OF i'm
provement can be made at a slight
expense. The main roads should be

evident that his expression more near
ly represents the real sentiment OF
the South today than does the old
hide-bound view.
The South Is already as much Re
publican in feeling and in faith as
any other section of the country, but
1t adheres to its traditional Dem
ocratic leanings for various reasons
all Of which are traceable to the
race question. So long as the Re-
publican party of the South continues
to be a party Of the negroes in its
present sense 1t can not make much h
headway as an active political force.
But when 1t comes to be dominated
by progressive. intelligent white men
who believe In its principles and seek
its advancement for broader reasons
than the mere personal desire for
office there will be an end to COM
plete Democratic domination.
Even under the present difficulties
the Republican party of the South
has made considerable headway. Sew
eral Of the border states have gone
Republican at one time or another
and are now in the debatable column.
In the heart Of the South where pro-
gress was least to be expected sur
prising gains. have been maue.
Bryan's plurality in Tennessee last
November was only 1924 In total
vote of 257.515. In North Carolina it
was 22,041 In a total vote of 2o2. 100.
Bryan captured Arkansas by only 3O,-

together elected eight Republican re-
Tesentatives. while only ten Demo
cratic Representatives were elected b..
Michigan. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota
Kansas, Nebraska. the two Dakotas.
California, Oregon. Washington, Idaho
Montana, Utah, Nevada and Colorado.
This shows very conclusively that
is not entirely a matter for the fu-
ture; 1t Is already under way. The
Solid South is steadily disintegrat-
ing and ordinary political skill on the
part of Mr.. Taft and other Republi-
can leaders will complete the process
perhaps not in the next Presidential
election but certainly within eight
years. or course the South will be
the real beneficiary. It needs new
political alignment much more than
the Republican party needs Its sup
port, for the Republican party has de-
monstrated its ability to control the
Government almost in perpetuity
without the aid Of the South. while
the South has only succeeded IN de-
monstrating that the one-party sys-
tenn Is an absolute blight.-Colorado

HUGHES OR ROOSEVELT IN
coLoRADo7

Senator Hughes OF Colorado was
presented yesterday with his centifi
cate Of election to the United States
senate. He accepted it as a mandate
to enter the lists In opposition to the
Roosevelt policies in the Western
states. In his address before the
legislature. Senator Hughes made his
position plain. He rs a Democrat.
He has given already stimulus to the
Democratic doctrine OF state rights.
The public domain In the state be-
longs to the people Of the state to
be used by them. He has no patience
with "Pinchotism" that means to him
evidently the adoption OF foundling
statesby the federal government
This appeal from the newly elected
senator Of Colorado is not new. 1t
mas been set forth In detail and with
considerable frequency by another dis
tinguished Colorado lawyer. whose
practice Is from. the corporations and
firms which have a direct interest
in the policy being administered from
Washington. 1t has been advocated
too, at Washington by one or more
of Colorados Republican representa-
tives. and yet. the people themselves
have had no opportunity to be heard.
The few whose corns have been
tramped on have had the floor.
The question is one to which the
Democratic state administration is
committed and from whcih 1t expects
to draw political capital. An appeal
can be made to the selfish instincts
as well as to state pride. Senator
Hughes insists that the present polio,
Of the federal authorities is a brake
upon the states progress and de-
velopment. Colorado's coal lands,
forest lands and grazing lands ought
to be used in the interest of Colorado
without: respect to the demands Of
the East
It is our belief that in a test before
the state at large the Roosevelt con
servation policies would prevail de-
spite the election Of a United States
senator who is In such direct opposi'
tion to the Republican national admin

or a dozen years ago the case might
have been different But in common
withrfhe rest of the nation Colorado
has, undergone an economic transfer

the railroads, most directly interested
are no longer state institutions. They
are Interstate corporations with head
quarters at New York. Their profits
are not distributed in Colorado. Whei

FLOWING AND NARROWING IN
ONE OPERATION.

Several companies are now manu-
featuring what Is known as the "Har-
row Attachment for plows. This
attachment is made to be used in
connection with the plow. usually of
the snlky or gang type. By its use
the ground is narrowed or pulverized
as fast as 1t is plOwed.
Every farmer knows that there is
no time when plowed ground will pull
verize better than Immediately after
1t has been turned. Atthis time there
has been no chance for moisture to
escape, and by narrowing at once,
the ground is not only better pulver-
lied. but is placed in a condition to
conserve the moisture better.
BY using this harrow attachment
in connection with the plOw. there is
no need of going over the field again
to put the ground in condition for
the crop. The field is narrowed as
far as plowed at all times. Ordinarily
less than one-half of the energy ex'
erted by one horse is required to pull
it,
This type of harrow is made in
several different styles and widths. In
width 1t varies from about IS inches
for single plow to feet for a gang
plow. 1t should have a lever ad
justment so that 1t can be forced into
the ground as deeply as desired. We
have every reason to believe that this
attachment will be much more gen
orally used in the near future. It is
certainly tool worth recommending.
Its cost is within reach of all.
