shall appoint drag man for each
section, when the conditions OF such
highway require such work. The
township board shall provide a road
drag for each section, which shall be
shod with steel blades, and not to be
less than seven feet in length. said
board shall divide such roads as re-
Quired by reason Of travel and grade
width, more than one trip with drag.
For the purpose OF this act a trip
shall be the dragging Of the entire
length Of section and return. The
township board shall designate what
portion Of the road shall be single
trip and what part shall be double
trip road.
"Sec. 2. In the selection and APP
polntment Of a drag man the resi-
dents abutting their section shan
have the preference; provided, that
township boards may remove the
drag man from his position on ac-
count Of Intellectual work and make
another appointment for said section
at any time.
Sec. 8. Compensation for a sim
gle-trlp shall be at the rate Of not to
exceed so cents per mile, with q
maximum expenditure OF IS per mile
for any one year, and for double-trip
roads at the rate Of 75 cents per
mile, with a maximum rate Of $3.50
per mile for any one year"
This act is in force and effect It
applies to every township board. 1t Is
an inexpensive way. Many mile Of
road can be made better than IT Is
now. 1t is easy to improve mile
after mile Of highway and It is easy
to decide whether or not this method
will do the work.

law. 1t Is his duty to hitch this drag

Story Of Tariff Legislation.
The speaker traced the country
from the first tariff IN 1882 to tlie
present one and said that each high
tariff meant prosperity and each low
tariff meant depression. He called
attention to the fact that the wealth
81 this country had doubled in thir-
teen years and the number of work
ingmen has done even better than
that. The wealth Of the country he
estimated at 1926, ,OOO, ,OOO, 900 and
the number of employed men he
placed at 100000 as against 81
100000 thirteen years ago. He said
prices were high but the high prices
were not brought about BY the tariff.
Incidently he accused the trusts Of
the trouble but said that they would
have to be dealt with separately.
"The protective system Of the Re-
publican party is the only system"
declared the orator. take the tariffs
pf the early days. Asslong as the naA
tion was under the protective system
money was plentiful, business was
good, the laboring people were en-
p1oyed and prosperity reigned SUI
breme. In the late '30's and early
'4O's the low tariff party got into
power. And, what was the result?
why ruin swept the land. One-fourth
Of the people Of this nation are low
tariff advocates. Who are they? |
Why do they stand for low duties?
The questions are answered with
ease. They are the salaried people,
who know that II goods are allowed
10 enter here with low duties, their
money will last longer and buy more.
But on the other hand three-fourths
of our people are for high protec-

Right here They get thousands and

continued McKinlay. They, cannot
denounce the law and run on a low
tariff platform consistently, unless
they are Democrats. They may want
to run on something else, but the
fact remains they arp Democrats.
There is no getting around It,"
McKinlay said the same agencies
are at work to destroy prosperity
that were at 1t in '92. That President
Taft was being pursued by the same
element that inspired the brain Of
crazy man to assassinate President
Mckinley.

Trusts and the Tariff.
There is no use to mix up the
trust question and the tariff, "con-
tinued NC. McKinlay. THAT is aa-
other trick of the free traders. The
fact is the free trade countries have
just as many trusts as we have and
the products of a large number Of
the trusts OF this country are not
protected in the least by the tariff.
President Taft has surrounded him
self with the ablest bunch of trust
busters in history and the trusts that
are violating the law are sure to be
brought to time"
Mr.. McKinlay paid a big compli-
ment to Congressman Calderhead. He
told Of the frequent occasions that
Calderhead was called to the White
House to confer with the president
about legislation and the part he
played in framing the tariff law. He
observed that Calderhead had got per-
haps more government money for HIS
district than any other Western con-
gresham. He had secured more than
his share Of public buildings and was
getting things for his constituents

About Sugar Prices.
much has been said recently In
one of the low tariff Kansas papers
that sugar was selling higher In this
country than Canada. 1t blamed
the sugar trust and the tariff. Why
didn't it tell you the truth? Why
didn't 1t say that now sugar brought
into this country and manufactured
and then taken right out again got
the drawback and that 1t had to then
pay the Canadian tariff in order to
get 1t in there. The workmen of this
country got pay for manufacturing It

Whom Lincoln Sat For His Bust.

When Winnie Ream, the sculptor, was a mere child still and her expert Snce in modelling consisted of few busts and medallions she timidly ask ed President Lincoln to permit her to model his bust. "1 don't know why any one should want the picture OF statue of so homely man," he an swered and at first declined to sit. But when Senator Nesmith told him that the western girl, "who was poor, but talented" would be disappointed if unable to secure this favor he turn ed quickly and said: "She is poor, is she? Well, that is nothing against her, and will sit for the model"
 During the sittings the great man would watch with much interest the hands of the girl sculptor at her work but, speaking of him later, she said: "For the most part he was sad and silent, weighed upon by the stress of a nation in peril and his own recent personal loss of a beloved son. Ah, those were sad days at the White House! One day the presidents eyes were full of tears as he turned from gazing out of the window, and he said to me, I am thinking of Willie.' '"-De- signer

Curious Training Methods.

Every baseball player seems to have his own system, and some of the meth ods used are laughable, and few are of any practicable value. One young catcher who joined National league club few years ago brought five gal Ions of iron, beef and wine in jugs in his trunk to make him strong. Can non balls that weigh twenty-five pounds are used to roll over the abdo- men. Iron rolling pins, special band ages, a thousand kinds of rubbing oils and lotions, ranging from patent med icines to horse Hniments and oil made by boiling down fishing worms, vibra- tors of all sizes and shapes, odd arm bakers to be superheated with electricity and rubber bands are en- ployed. Hotel rooms are turned into gymnasiums, and one of the funniest sights of year is to sit in card game with half dozen players swa(1- ed like puffy mummfes in blankets, sweaters and fiannels until they look as if they were starting on an arctic journey Magazine.
