CONGRESSIONAL SATIRE

The following speech was made in the House of Representatives about two weeks ago by Representative Craig of Alabama in reply to q state. nent made by Nicholas Longworth that the Republican party was keep ing faith with the people by attempt. ing honest tariff revision:
 There are IA schedules in the tar if: 9ot them have been raised, while hu' , of them have been lowered. The total raise in this bill over ana above the Dingley bill amounts to| l.56 per cent; this in the face of the fact that every republican orator in the country was telling the people during the campaign last summer that their party intended to reduce the tariff But they contend that they have put many things on the free list, and so they have.
 That free list IS wonderfully and tcarfully made, and will, no doubt, be a great consolation to the misguided American citizen who voted the repub hcan ticket last fall upon the idea that Uy so doing he would help reduc his living expenses. If, after this be- comes law. he becomes worried be- cause his socks cost him 20 per cent more than they used to, he can conso himself with the thought that arsenic IS on the free list. If he takes enough of the latter. the lack of the former will be immaterial.
 He need not worry because lemons are taxed all out of reason. for on the free list are epicac and nux vom- ica, either one of which will effect. ually kill an appetite for lemons. or anything else.
 His coffee will cost him more than i. does now, but he will rejoice to find that asafetida is on the free list.
 Lead pencils for the school chil- dren will be higher. but why worry about that when no tax is required on balm of Gilead?
 Ladies gloves will cost more, but IeecheS can be imported free. if any should be needed to supply the place of those who manufacture the gloves.
 Tea and cocoa will be almost pro hbitive in price. but mama, which has been free since the day the chil- dren of Israel wandered in the wild crness. is still on the tree list, thanks 10 a generous republican party.
 Fret not, dear people, because soap IS going to cost fi?e cents per pound more than it does now, for on the tree list are ashes and lye. which the republican party seems to think is good enough for the poor mans toi- let.
 Perfumery and cologne are raised in price. but rags are on the free list. A few years more of so called pros perity." such as We have had for the past two years. and rags will be the most prominent article in the ward robe of all but the protected classes and their satellites.
 If wooden and cotton goods are still sky high. that is nothing, for Nindling wood is on the free list; and if any voter wants tea for breakfast and cannot have it because of the exhor- bitant tax levied by this bill. he may turn to the free list and find there to his unuttcrable joy, that tobacco stems and sea weeds have been mag. unanimously freed of import taxes by the great republican party"

Econony of split.Iog Drag.

1t is now estimated that the earth
road can be properly maintained with
the split-log drag at about S. per
mile per annum. TO maintain the
$4,000 miles of earth road in Ken
lucky annually with the split-los drag
would therefore cost approximately
's25O,O00. If you spend s75O,000 on
bridges and for grading of earth
roads, salaries and incidental ex-
penses. you would still have about a
million dollars left, with which to
build stone and grade" roads. This,
at $4,000 per mile, would build about
$50 miles of stone road annually. It
would be difficult, however, to ac-
complish this under the present sys-
tenn of road administration, as large
part of the property tax, as we'll as
the statute labor tax, is worked out"

An innovation in Roads.

During the last few years much In

for good roads, and in many parts
Of the country model stretches OF
highway have been constructed by
good roads" commissions to serve as
examples to the natives Of each local
ity. Much valuable instruction has
been impaired In this manner, but
apparently no plan discovered for
overcoming the difficulties Of road
building in sandy soil. 1t remained
for Minnesota man to adopt new
method of construction suitable to
such condition.
i Mr.. George w. Cooley, State High
way Engineer of Minnesota, has de-
signed road that is serviceable in
spite of a sandy foundation. A sec
ton of his new construction is located
at Cambridge, in Isanti County. In
this district there is nothing but sand
for top soil, and it is impossible to
preserve road without adding some
other material. Mr.: Cooley finally.
decided that sawdust was the COM,
ponent necessary, and a four:inch
layer of this was raked into stretch
of road which had been carefully
graded. Passing teams thoroughly
ground together this mixture, and
whenever ruts were worn into the
surface they were filled with fresh
sawdust. The fine particles Of wood
gradually rot, forming heavy loam
with the sand, and the result Is a
firm roadbed suitable to all ordinary
traffic. Harper's Weekly.

Discovers Substance to supplant

The announcement of DIR. E. Still
man Bailey of Chicago, at the meet
ing of the Southern Homeopathic
Medical association in convention at
Mobile, Ala, of the discovery of
"radiothor,'' substance made from
pitch-blend, which, he says, is dcstin-
ed to supplant radium, is the engag-
ing topic Of scientists and medical
experts. DR.. Bailey said that he had
tried his new discovery with success
in treatment of locomotor-ataxia and
similar diseases. In discussing the
discovery DR.. Bailey said his expert
ments were yet in their infancy, but
he believes radio-thor will find a
great use by the medical profession.
His chief purpose now is to find the
most advantageous way Of applying
the substance. DR.. Bailey declares
that with the use of tl. substance he
can photograph objects through SIX
inches of wood. He exhibited glass
tube containing some Of the material
and showed that when placed in con-
tact with the negative pole of a mag
met, the matoriol becomes luminous.
DR.. Bailey admitted that expert
menting with the new substance was
affecting his nervous system. The
elimination of any such deleterious
results in the use. of radio-thor by
physicians, it is believed, can be
worked out.

Affects Even Morals.

Il IS we'll known that the condition
of the public roads affects the pock-
cts, the health, the tastes, and even
the morals of the people. Tie cost Of
|: transportation affects every human
being. If a producer, it affects the
value of his products; if consumer,
it affects the price of his purchases.
It costs the Western farmer as mucn
to haul a ton of wheat five miles, to,
market over the average road as 1t
does to ship the same by freight from
New York to Boston, or by water
from New York to Liverpool. Twen-
ty years ago it cost $40 to ship ton
of produce from Boston to Liverpool;
to-day it costs s1.75. 1t is not neces-
sary to add that it costs the Western
farmer as much to-day to haul his
wheat to market as it did twenty
years ago, and that these prices will
continue stationary SO long as the
roads remain in their present condi-
|, ton. ~, .i.-~ssv s.
One of the alarming tendencies OF
|'the time Is that our boys and our
girls, our men and our women, are
leaving the farms to live in the cities.
They prefer the glare of the gas light
to the isolation OF country life, and
who can blame them. At this partic7
.ular time farmers are unable to Sc
cure help, while the cities are filled
with idle men. These conditions can
jbe partly remedied by the improve
ment of the public roads, for as we
improve our roads, we will also i'm
prove and beautify our country
homes. Good roads give us more
time and more pleasure. Speed in
transportation is economy of time,
and the old saying that time is mon
ey'' was never so true as it Is now.
People who have good roads accom-
plish more, see more of life, and live
more in year than their mud-bound
neighbors do in ten:-Maurice O. Ell,
