Strict Women Who Love.

The strictest women are at times the
most loving. When this happens their
attachment is as strong as death. their
fidelity as resisting as the diamond.
They are hungry for devotion and
athirst for sacrifice. Their love is a
piety, their tenderness religion. and
they triple the energy of love by en-
shrining it as duty.-Henri Frederic

whom it is pronounced it will fall on
him sooner or later, but if it has not

tinue much longer. SO far, how
ever, as securing practicable meas
urcs is concerned, the conservative
or reactionary element has been in
sufficient control OF both parties to
make the progressive movement
seem like a revolt.
The anomaly is thus presented of
party in power pledged to a
definitely progressive police, yet,
in legislative matters and prevail
ingly in the matter of organization,
under the leadership of men by
temperament and training strongly
conservative if not reaCtlonarV,
This fact was plainly exhibited by
the history of the tariff bill.
Pledged as a revision downward,
the republican party framed tariff
which, so far as its schedules were
concerned, was chiefly an adjust
ment of duties to the demands of
conflicting special interests. OPP
posed to this party is another in
quite as anomalous a position. 1t
is composed of two equally diverse
cleme1lts-th one devoted to such
an Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton as to render the Federal gov
eminent in1pOtent to control either
the natural or the organized forms
of wealth, the other devoted to the
quite impracticable project of pre-
venting the close organization of
industry so that there will not be
any concentrated wealth to control.
Under these circumstances the is
sue must now be fought out, not
between two parties, but within the
republican party, and specifically
among the republicans i'll cong1 ess.
What is to be the outcome?
There are, SO far as we can see,
only two possible outco mes. 1t

public affairs compatible with the
policy the party has adopted. The
country does not believe that Sen
ators Aldrich and Hale or that
Messrs. Cannon and Tawney are
men of that d'sci, ption.
That is why the country is
watching with deepest concern the
Presidents course; that is why it
has been anxious to learn whether
patronage has been bestowed or
withheld to punish men who voted 3,
even mistakenly, against private
interests and for what they regard
cd as the public interest; that IS
why the country wishes that the
could have managed
to retain in public service such a
man as Clifford Pinchot. The re
publican party has come to the
parting of the ways.

B|TUL|TH|Cf
PAVEMENT.

Bitulithic pavement is form of
bituminous pavement made with
special mixtures, prepared by
special machinery. Bitulithic prac-
tically consists in a foundation of
either concrete or crushed stone
cemented with bituminous
cement. Its wearing surface is
very dense mixture of graded,
comminuted, crushed stone, ETC.,
mixed with a bituminous cement.
This is a successful form of pave
ment which is durable, dense,
slightly elastic and not slippery.
1t is suited to many streets and
will sustain business traffic while
at the same time it permits pleasure
carriages and automobiles to travel
at fast speeds without slipping.
Tar and oil macadams are prac-
tically mixtures of ordinary maca-
dam stone with tar or oil in the
mass or on the surface. They are
crude substitutes for denser and
more durable pavements. They
soon become uneven and unattraC-
tive, but are useful on some sub
urban roads.
Portland cement concrete pave
ments for roadways have been tried
in several places. They are wrong
in principle and a failure in prac-
tice. They are not elastic but
rigid and brittle The shock of
hoofs and wheels loosen the stones
from the concrete, and grind the
cement and finer particles to
powder. Wet, dry, hot and cold
weather cause cracks. Concrete is
suited to sidewalks under foot
travel but not to roadways subject
to horse and vehicle use.
Wood block pavements are of
two general classes; those of round
cedar or other blocks formerly used
in few western cities as a tenn
porary pavement, and the carefully
cut and creosoted or otherwise
treated blocks of long leaf yellow
pine or other suitable wood, laid
on concrete foundations. Wood
block pavements require great care
in their construction and greater
care for constant maintenance.
Wood pavements are luxury for
a few wealth lined streets of large
cities, where quiet, smooth pave
ment is desired without regard to
cost of construction and constant
repair.

forests and the like, and for the in
corporation of industrial concerns
by the Federal Government: but
they are not sure what these bills
signify. Chiefly, however, it is
because they feel that the issue
before the country is too fundamen-
tai to be settled by the passage of
any measures; that it is an issue
between inconsistent ideals of gov
ernment; that it involves not only
the passage of legislative measures,
but even more intimately the qucs-
ton of political methods.
This issue concerns the control
of wealth III its twofold form
wealth III the form of industrial
organizations, and wealth III the
form of natural resources. 1t re-
solves itself into the question,
Shall this wealth be controlled by
special interests with as little gov
erument regulation as possible, or
shall it be controlled by the people
through abundantlv adequate gov
ornamental regulation? On the one
side are those who have these spc-
cal interests themselves, with all
those who have been trained to
think about the acquisition of
wealth as the owners do. and those
who, because of their conservative
temperament, are. opposed to eN-
tending the powers or functions Of
government or increasing the re
spOnsiVeness of government to the
popular will. On the other sid e
are those who believe that the pub
lie interest transcends any special |
interest or any combination Of
special interests, and who therefore
are convinced not only that the /
powers of governments should be |
extended and freed from traditions T
al letters, but that the government /
should be enabled to respond more !
promptly than it does at present to
the will of the people. Confront
ing each other are thus two sets of /
men-the one conservative, called /
in the vernacular stand -patters, - /
the other progressive, shading from
the moderate to the radical. In
favor of the one side are natural
human inertia, the advantage Of
Orga iZat on and concentrated
wealth, and an almost uuChange-
able form of government which
grants several different minority
groups nearly unreversibie veto
In favor of the other is little else
than a growing informed public
sentiment reinforced by belief in
self government and a new con-
science regarding public affairs.
What creates the confusion at
present is the fact that these two
elements are represented by no
corresponding ormal parties.
Neither the Democratic nor the
republican party represents either
the one element or the other. Both
elements are in both parties. This
condition of confusion cannot con

THERE'S A GOOD
REASON FOR It

The high prices of all the neCes-
Saries of life do not bear down any
heavier on the consumer than on
the retail merchant, who gets the
last profit off the goods. In order
to put their goods within the reach
of the purses of their customers,
the retail dealers have to cut their
profits so low that after they stand
the shrinkagc and wastage they
haven much profit left to pay the
expenses of the business. The
various trusts make sure of their
enormous profits, and let the re-
taller struggle on as best he can
the trusts knowing that he cannot
buy his goods except through the
system. Do not blame your re-
tail merchant because the price of
the goods you buy are high
Probably the home merchants are
having the struggle of their lives to
make both ends meet. This is
no fault of theirs, but of the sys-
tenn that has fastened itself upon
the industrial interests of the coun-
try.
Any system that can fix a
home price and an export
price, giving the foreigner the adj
vantage of from IS to 40 per cent
is wrong. The Sugar Trust a
short time ago quoted the following
prices in New York for the same
grade of sugar: Home market,
I As cents per pound; export mar
ket, 200 cents per pound. In
this one item alone the foreigner is
given the advantage over the A
meriCan by | 80 cents per pound by
an American trust. There are
many other articles that have a
home price fixed by the trusts,
and an export price fixed in the
markets of the world. Under this
system it is no wonder the A
mcrican retail merchant finds him
self so much discouraged lately
He doesn't have fair chance.
His prices are fixed by the trusts
and he has to buy his goods of
them.

A STATE OF
CONFUSION

In the state of political confusion
which extends over all the country
but is particularly manifest at
Washington, the people are look
ing for some one to stand forth and
lead. Who shall it be?
Contrary to the plans of the men
who framed the American Consti-
tuition, the branch of the Federal
Government which has become
most democratic is the executive
The president, originally designed
to be far removed from the people,
who were regarded as subject to
whms and passion, has come to be
par excellence the whole peoples
one representative. The Senate
does not represent the people as
whole; it represents the conflicting.
interests of the States, and too
much also the conflicting interests
of certain classes. The house of
Representatives does not represent
the people as a whole, but only Il e
sum of all the Country's part
which is a very different thing.
The President alone takes Office as
the servant and leader and cham
pion of all the people of the entire
Nation. Unless he serves the peo-
pie, the people have no servant; if
he does not lead the people, the
people are without a leader: if he
does not champion their cause, the
people can look to no one else to
be their champion.
This is why the country is watch
ing with unconcealed solicitude,
and yet not without expectancy,
the course of Mr.. Taft. This is
why people are eager to know not
so much what congress is going to
do as what the President is doing
This is WHY people are anxious to
learn not so much whether certain
measures are to be passed as what,
in the struggle over those meas
ures, is to be the attitude of the
administration.
Sufficient answer to this inquiry
is not to be found in the measures
which the administration has pre-
pared. This is partly because the
people. as a whole, do not alto
gether understand those measures.
They know that bills have been
prepared for the further control of
interstate commerce, for the estab
lishment of postal savings banks.
