"WHAT- -THE-HELL" SMOOT.

In his 'i'y-note' speech TO the
Ogden Oh Monday last, Smoot declared: ::
81 am protectionist without any
qualification. In commenting upon
that speech we directed attention to
The fact that Smoot is not protec
Zionist without qualification: that he
misreprescnted his own position in say
ing so. The proof is plain and easy
We have presented il heretofore in full
When the carded wool manufacturers
asked protection for their American in
dustry, Smoot cut them of curtly, deny
ing them any protection in the new
tariff law that was then being framed,
this denial unquestionably being at the
dictation of Senator Aldrich of Rhode
Island. When. IN their interview with
him, the carded wool manufacturers
reminded Smoot that be was desertina

deuied it to them, and that if the Re
publican party did not stand for pro
lection, the Democrats were liable TO

charge Of this kind made by Mr.,
Bleakie of The carded wool manu-.

to know If it was true. He wrote to
the editor of The Tribune affirming in
every respect the truth of the statement
with regard to Smoot. saying that he
did burst forth in the language as
quoted, and hat he did treat the carded
wool men with contumcly and con

do the fair thing the Democrats were

this matter fully in order that the rank

What One Missouri Farmer Did

Eight years ago a Missouri farmer
tried to drive out from town one day
in a rainy spring. 1t was river bot
tom road and the soil was deep. AL
though he had light rig and strong
horse he stuck, and that within sight
Of home, too. 1t made him indignant.
There and then he resolved that 1t
would never happen again. 1t has not,
and i'm carrying out his resolve D..
Ward King has changed the laws Of
six states. To find a method to keep
Missouri country roads so that dri-
yer would not be in danger of miring
in the spring was a big task, but it
was accomplished by a very simple de-
vice-two split logs and few scraps
of iron. This farmer, who lives mile
and a half from Maitland, Mo-, is
known the United States over as
the Good Roads Man" He is the
father of improved roads. He builds
earth roads, not re ilrOads. The middle
west has always been held back by
poor country roads. There are no
turnpikes and but little gravel in the
deep, black, rich soil. AS result the
roads become almost impossible dur
ing the rainy season. Railroads lag
ged, for the farmers could not get to
town; towns became sleepy, for there
was no one to buy. Impressed by the
fact that ground at the end Of the
corn rows sheds water much better af-
ter it has been gone over with the
ridge drag, Mr.. King resolved to try
similar device on the country roads.
He hit upon simplicity itself-two
iron shod boards on edge held togeth-
er with iron stays. The boards are
placed edge down and the platform is
dragged over the roads by team.
The first plank smooths down the clOds
and the second one packs the ground.
The roads are dragged after rain,
while they are moist hut not sticky.
This packs the ground, facilitates dry
ing and turns the water at the next
rain-Hampton's Magazine.
