Stirrinq the Country.

The whole country is stirred as
never before relative to this or 7at
question of highway Improvement.
Two years ago six only of the whole
galaxy responded to call of the roll
of States that gave aid to their peo-
pie in road making. Not many ticks
of the clock have ben heard, nor has
the sun risen on many days since the
representatives of sixty-five per cent.
of the population of the country
men who spoke the minds of fifty-five
millions of the people of this land
stood on platform in Pittsburs and
voiced the demands for better roads;
and twenty-five commemorative were
at that time committed to the use OF
State moneys to help improve the
highways of the people. New York
had agreed to spend for that purpose
$5,OG0,0O0 yearly, or SO cents per
capita of her population, and now
Connecticut purposes to give from
her State treasury for like purpose
practically 100 cents yearly per CAPT.

SOCIALISTS
RULE MILWAUKEE

The beginning of the Social Demo-
cratic rule. in Milwaukee has been
marked by success. Reports from that
city indicate that the people are salts
fled and believe they did the right thing
when they turned down both the demo-
cratic and the republican candidates
who were regarded as the choice of the
System" Mayor Seidei has already
inaugurated reforms and gives evidence
that henceforth a new order of city
government will prevail. Milwaukee
will not be governed according to the
principles of Socialism; that is imposs-
ible under our Constitution, but various
Socialistic ideas that do not conflict
with the laws or the Constitution will
be put into practice. Among other
novel features Mayor Seidel proposes
to open the schools to public dances in
order to attract the young folks away
from the public dance halls, most of
which are conducted in connection with
saloons and other institutions that are
not approved by all classes. Mayor
Seidel believes thatif wholesome amuse-
ment and entertainment is provided for
the young people they will prefer it to
the questionable kind which exists.

You Never Can Tell.

You can't always tell what will hap
pen. For instance, there is story
of a man who determined to commit
suicide. He went to the store and
bought rope, can of coal oil, box
of matches, a dose of arsenic, and a
revolver. He went down to the river
and pushed the boat from the shore
and waded to where limb hung over;
saturated his clothing with the coal
oil, lighted match and set 1re to
his clothing, took the dose of arsenic,
put the muzzle of the revolver to his
temple, pushed the boat from under
him, and pulled the trigger. But the
bullet glanced and cut the rope above
him and he fell kerfop into the river;
the water put the fire out and he got
strangled and coughed up the arsenic.
He rose and Waded out, and declared
himself a candidate for the legisla-
ture on the reform ticket.

A ROAD OF LITTLE COST.
Maine Has Least Expensive and Most
Substantial of Telford Highways.


One of the least expensive and
most substantial of telford roads in
this country is said to be the st.
George highway, in Knox county,
Maine. 1t is Is feet In width, thor
oughly drained and cost only so cents
per foot, or $3.50 per lineal mile.
This low cost was possible because
stones of suitable size for the lower
courses were beside the road, and
granite chips were had for the mere
hauling from the groutheaps OF quar-
ries close by the road.
A description of this road says that
its cutters carry away every drop of
water. The lower course of the bed
is Of stones of varying sizes, none so
big that a man could not alone handle
each, and they were SO placed as to
tend to bind themselves together, al
though they were fitted together rath-
er roughly. Smaller pieces were then
fitted into the crevices of this lower
layer. With long handled hammers
men went over this and broke up any
bits which were too large.
On these were spread granite chips
from the refuse heaps of the adjoining
quarry. This top dressing was COM
pacted with roller drawn by horses,
and an excellent road was the result

No Level Macadams.

Some authorities insist that ma
cadam road should never be level, ar
guing that slight rise and fall is
needed to permit the surface water to
run longitudinally along the road
Usually, even if the road is absolute
ly level if it is also properly crowned,
the cutters of the road may be SO
graded as to provide suitably for sur
face drainage. The width of the grad
ing will depend, of course, on the
width Of the macadam adopted.

From all parts of the state come re-
ports that agents of the stalWarts are
interviewing candidates for the legis-
lature and sounding them on their atti-
tude toward LaFollette. Many candi-
dates, it is reported, have already been
pledged to vote against LaFollette re-
gardless of the result in the primary.
It is evident that someone is spending
a lot Of money in this gumshoe cam
paign and since the agents SO far
disclosed are or have been closely allied
with the opposition to LaFollette, it is
safe to conclude that it comes from a
fund provided for the purpose of de-
feating the popular will and filling the
official positions with standpatters who
will readily bend to the will of the
System.
1t is apparent that the tactics of the
campaign against Tom l.. johnson of
Cleveland, Ohio, are to be repeated in
this state One report has it that the
New York Street Railway syndicate,
headed by O. H. P. Belmont, contrib
uted $3.50, 900 to the campaign to defeat
Johnson because he advocated Scent
street car fares. AS the reader knows,
Johnson was defeated after one of the
most contemplate campaigns ever con-
Quoted against any candidate. Every
vile and villainous lie that human in
genuity could invent was circulated
against Johnson. This stuff was printed
in every language spoken by the people
of different nationalities in Cleveland
and circulated broadcast. Give no heed
to rumors detrimental to progressive
candidates; ascertain where they orig
mated.

A Minnesota farmer preserved his
apple crop by packing the trees in ice
when the spring opened. He thus re-
tarded budding, and consequently his
trees were not far enough advanced to
be injured by the late frost. Evidently
he copied the example of the wise poll
tician, who customarily puts his politi-
cal issues in cold storage until the pro-
per psychological moment for springing
them, thus avoiding the frost that a too
full discussion might engender.

the voting of $50, 600 bonds prove half

The Rhinelander New North states
that the socialist alderman recently
elected in that city has called a mass
meeting of the residents of his ward,
in order to get from them their views
on current questions before the council.
Such a socialistic, anarchistic, dema-
gogic method should be frowned down.
The proper way to decide on such mat
tiers is to get a few of the leaders,
retire to quiet back room, with choice
cigars and supply of the cup that
cheers, and there determine on the
course that will be satisfactory to 'our

UN M SkED


Mr. LaFollette in the Senate and Mr.
Lenroot in the House last week raped
the administration measure purporting
to establish Court of Commerce but
which in reality aimed to legalize rail-.
road mergers, stock watering and other
iniquities that have long been con-
demned by the people. The bill is said
to have been drawn by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham at the request of
President Taft
The bill was up for hearings in the
committee for some time and was
amended in various places, then without
warning, new bill was sent to the
committee by the Attorney General and
was at once reported out for passage
This new bill contained all the iniquities
of the old measure before it had been
amended and several others. Both
Mr.. LaFollette and Mr. Lenroot de-
nounced this method of forcing on
patient public such Objectionable meas
ures under the guise of carrying out
the plans of the Administration In
recent speech Mr.. Wickersham said
that members of Congress who OPP
pose Administration measures were
traitors to the republican party and used
other language to the same effect
Referring to this part of Mr.. Wicker
g oil all 70 OF
the close of his remarks said:
"Yet, if we pause to inquire, if we
are not already convinced beforehand
to vote for and pass this legislation
without investigation, without any
knowledge of its effect in application,
without even being informed of the
reasons which controlled in framing it,
we are accused of giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy. We are de-
nounced by the Attorney General as
traitors to the Republican party and
threatened with the displeasure of the
Administration Mr. President, men
who have grown gray fighting the bat
ties of the Republican party are not
obliged to have their Republicanism
certified by an Attorney General, who,
until recently, was known to the public
chiefly as the attorney for big business
and financial interest, Of New York.
The pending bill is before the coun-
try under false pretenses and a false
title. The court of commerce provision
is little more than mask behind which

SOM { EGGS
AND BUTTER.


AND BUTTER.
There were 100000, 900 dozen eggs
laid by Nebraskan hens in 1908. This
is a total of 1,200,000,0 900 eggs. These
eggs would average two inches in
length If laid in double row, ends
touching, these eggs would have
reached 1881 miles further than the
railroad mileage built in the United
States in 1908. If laid in a ribbon
five feet wide they would have made
sidewalk of eggs reaching from Oma-
ha to Ogden. In the same year
Nebraska manufactured 35000,00O
pounds of butter. 1t would require
1,166 freight cars to haul that much
butter, making a train nine miles
long, or thirty three freight trains of
thirty-fve cars each.
And yet there are lots of us who
continue to wonder why the price of
eggs and butter remained so altitudin-
