fit of any man or set of men. It is for
you to determine whether or not, under

during the six years he has held that
office. If o think some one else

for this Office the result of the primary
election On June 20 will be conclusive
as far as the office of states attorney

mentary vote to any candidate but

made by Perry Mackaye in the Cen

is to train the young people of the

Improving Old Highways.

Frequently old roads can be greatly
improved at very little added cost.
Thoroughly drain by using tile and
render more efficient the open bitches
along the sides. Careful attention to
the road surface, keeping it smooth
and free from hollows. will result in
very marked improvement Sand and
gravel added to clay road will often
make 1t much better, and clay added
to sand road frequently is of great
benefit. Filling hollows is one of the
most effective methods Of improving
roads in rough country. The soil is
easily dragged into the hollows, and
the grade is thus materially reduced.

A little less than twenty years ago
a new idea in naval construction was
evolved and deemed so practical that
our navy built at a cost of 100000
the ram, Kahtadin. This boat was
not built to fight, but to sink an ad-
versary. 1t was supposed to be so
heavily armored as to be proof against
any shot hurled against it. 1t was to
steam up to an enemys ship, ram a
hole in the hull of the opponent and
stand by while the helpless ship sank
from sight. The theory was all right
but hardly was the Kahtadin COM
pleted before the power of naval
weapons was so increased as to rem
der the ram practically useless, and it
came to an inglorious end recently as
a target to test the power of a new
projectile. Twenty years seems the
naval limit between the height of eff
ficiency and the scrap heap.

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.
Senate Reports FsVorably on Highway
Bill Appropriatins 100000.

Aid from the federal government IL
possible for roudmakiug. A bill has
been favorably reported from the sen
ate committee on agriculture proNid-
ing for an appropriation of SJOOOOO To
be expended In cooperative road build
ing States or counties receiving the
benefit of this aid would be required
by the bin to duplicate the sums used
in their territory.
The fundamental object of the bill Is
to disseminate scientific knowledge OF
road construction and maintenance so
as to increase the interest in good
them economically. The appropriation
would amount to only about l per cent
of the total appropriation for rural
delivery, and II Is estimated that the
resultant Improvement OF roads would
so facilitate the travel of rural carriers
as to save this amount in the long run.
The annual expenditure for country
roads in the United States from all
sources at the present time probably
exceeds 500, 100000. and 1t Is estimat-
ed that half OF this is wasted through
unwise administration and faulty meth
DDS of construction and maintenance.
The expert advice and supervision OF
work that would be possible with fed
eral cooperation and the strips OF good
roads which their work would place
for the inspection and use of the peo-
pie would hasten the time of univer-
try.

The state university of Texas has
established a chair of good roads to
give a special course of training to
students who desire to learn the art
and economies of road building. The
universities and agricultural schools
that are doing so much to improve
the methods of farming, can do no
better service than to make a special
effort to teach road improvement
