ROOSEVELT IN OMAHA.

Omaha did things in its usual en-.
thusiastic manner when Colonel
Roosevelt visited that place last Fri.
day. The day opened with lowering
clouds which shortly after developed
into a downpour of rain, so that the
early portion of the day seemed rather
spiritless, but by the time of the
luncheon of the Field club at 1890
the sun was shining brightly and the
enthusiasm of the 400 guests who
broke bread with the colonel was
two-thirds OF the guests had been in
vited from all sections of the state,
by which act the Commercial club of
that city again put the people of the
state under obligations to the enter
prising hustlers of the metropolis.
From the gathering of the hosts at
the Field club unth late at night
Colonel Roosevelts time was more
than filled. a monster meeting at the
Auditorium at o'clock listened to
one of the colonel's strongest
speeches. Then came an elaborate
dinner at the Omaha club, followed
by a session at the Aksarben den that
was full OF interest to Colonel Roose-
welt as we'll as the guests. All in all,
the festivities were of such a charac-
ter that Omaha may we'll feel proud
of the efforts put forth to make the
day success, and it was an event in
the colonel's trip that will long be
remembered by him.

Juvenile Good Roads LEAGUE.

Back to the farm? The census re-

day to day indicate that all the talk
we have had on that subject must
look to the present decade for results,
not the one just past. Michigan, for

191 or 1911 percent for the past ten
years; while the city of Detroit alone
gained over 100000, and 265,0CO of the

Michigan's population gain from 1890
to 1900 was 1916 percent against the
present 16.1 percent, while in the
decades of 1SSO-1S9O and 1S70-1SSO the
gain was respectively, 27.9 and 49,

NORFOLK IS HEALTHY.

Norfolk is in a healthy condition.
There isn't an available house to rent
in the city nor is there an empty
business building or room. The de-

This in itself is a good sign of the
city's condition. And on top of that,
there's progress on every hand. Bust

street paving is at hand. A Carnegie

SURFACE DRAINAGE OF ROADS
This Is an Important Feature When
Constructing Highways.


Professor J. X. Davidson of the
Iowa Agricultural college, who is an
authority on the drainage of highways
to those interested in the construction
of good roads, says that all roads
should be provided with surface drain
age. The cross section should be of
such a shape as to shed all rain at
once to the side bitches. To do this
the road must be oval or have crown
and must be smooth. The first Of these
is a matter of construction and the lat
ter matter of maintenance. The side
drainage system should be called upon
to carry as much water as possible.
Water cannot be carried away by the
tile drains until the water has sunk
through the soil and softened it.
The crown of road should be sutfi-
cient to shed the water readily. II the
road is to be maintained and kept free
from ruts and holes less crown will do
than If the road is to be neglected The
Iowa highway commission recommend
ed a slope one inch to a foot for
crown In the travelled way. This il
sufficient for most conditions. The
crown should not be too great. A
steep crown causes the travel to be
concentrated at the center. where ruts
will be worn and washing result.
Again there is some difficulty in vehi-
Giles passing. On the side of the crown
the wheels Of the vehicles have tend
ency to grind the road down. This
action, tOgct .cr with the swerving or
flow action of the lower part of the
wheel, has q very marked effect.
The sleeper the slope of the road the
more important the crown. for there
Is a tendency for the water to run
down the track rather than to the side.
If water once begins to run down the
center Of the roadway it is but a short
time until the road is quilted out.

Yet is there any essential difference
in the quality of the act at these two
different periods?
There may be two opinions on the
justice or fairness of the duties that
are imposed, but there should be but
one on the meanness of these eva
sions, so many of which have been
exposed this past year. 1t is not fair
or right that Mrs. Newlyrich, who
can spend her spare time about the
boulevard shops of Paris, should be
able to bring home low priced furs
and jewels, while the great body of
middle class people are forced to pay
the same price plus the duty. 1t is
notorious fact that our national
revenue could be greatly increased if
duties could be fairly collected. Eva.

er and impairs the efficiency of our
