The Good Roads Movement.

At Niagara Falls, n. Y, the Nation
al Good Roads Association is In SEES
sion on Thursday Mr. B. F. Yoakum
delivered an address which contains
facts worth considering by the gem
eral public At the outset he said:
Government statistics tell us that
il costs our farmers Is cents more TO
haul one ton one mile in this country
than it costs in European countries.
The products of the farms OF
the United States last year amount
ed to approximately $50 million
tons The Government shows the
average haul of a ton was miles.
This difference of Is cents ton per
mile represents an additional cost of
81 % a ton for an average haul of 3
miles Estimating that two-thirds of
of the agricultural products oil last
last wear were hauled away from the
farms, there would have been a saw
ing to the American farmers OF ~
million dollars if our roads had peeh
I'D to the standard of European ROADS
not including their back haul OF sup
niles from the stations to the FARMS
They would also have saved large
sums in the cost of replacing and re-
pairirg harness, wagons, etc, and IN
the investment and care of extra
draught stock.
There is cause for congratulatlon IN
the good roads movement. Uh!lke
MANY public movements it seems to
have come to stay. Farmers realize
that good roads save them money IN
marketing their produce and IN maui
ing home those necessaries they nave
to purchase from some other part OF
the country. They are realizing more
and more that poor roads are expeh-
sive: that they mean broken wagons
and harness, and that a team can DO
twice as much work over a good ROAD
as over a bad one.
Mr.. Yoakum pointed out that II a
railroad encounters a high grade over
a hill. which means excessive use OF

1t doesn't seem like spending money

A girl is willing to walk when she

coal, slow trains and light loads. tile
railroad cuts down the heavy grades
to save coal bills, to move freight fast
er, to carry bigger train loads. 1t
borrows millions to do the grade cut
ting, pays the interest on this money,
and through this economy is enabled
to increase it's surplus.
What the railroad saves in coal bills
by reducing grades, the farmer should
fight for to reduce the sum he pays
the blacksmith, the wheelwright, or
takes out of the worth of his team
The farmers North and South, East
and West, are enlisting and should
continue to enlist in the advancement
of the good roads movement. 1t means
slightly increased taxes in most cases
perhaps, but the outlay should return
ten fold Although impelled by sentl-
ment at present it he's something
practical behind it, Already some Sec
tions are building and caring for
roads through bond issues, after the
suggestion found in the policy of the
most progressive railroads.

The Ohio Republican Convention.

The Republican factional tangle in
President Taft's home state that has
given the Democrats so much joy in
recent weeks, has been disentangled
in manner that is heartily approved
by the President himself. 1t was a
victory for the so-called regulars in
state convention at Columbus, We'd
nesday, and the head of the progress
sive" faction, James r. Garfield,
promptly withdrew as candidate for
governor. Warren G. Harding, who
was still opposed for the nomination
by Judge o. B. Brown, won.
1t was a victory in more ways than
one. The generous and hearty en-
dorsement of the administration of
President Taft gees along with the es-
tablishing of a standard for the re-
uniting of the party nationally
Republican in Ohio recognize the
necessity of pulling together this fall.
They are not misjudging the strength
of Harmon In 1908 he was elected
governor by plurality of 10000 votes
at the same time the state was giving
Taft for President a plurality of g.
900. Figured down carefully, results
show that while many thousands of
Democrats bolted Bryan for Taft, less
thousands of Republicans must have
bolted their candidate for Harmon.
President Taft is we'll pleased with
the outcome of the convention. The
candidate is acceptable to him and the
good feeling in which the adjourn
ment found all factions was highly
satisfactory to all Republicans.
The adoption of the platform with
only few scattering cries of mo"
shows that the much lauded division
in the party was chiefly in the Demo-
cratic vision. The platform contains
the conservation plank and all but one
| of the state planks wanted by the
"Progressives." The omission is that
of the demand for a law to recall of
unfaithful public servants.
Thus are the bird shot removed
from the conservation wing. and
there's peace in the Ohio nest that has
Matched many Presidents.

Republican Opportunity in Nebraska

republican Opportunity IN Nebraska.
Col. Bryan went down on county
option plank, measure which has
been incorporated in the Nebraska
Republican platform. In the Repub-
lican convention in that state, how
ever, the insurgents" showed great
er organized strength than the reg
ulars, the platform denouncing Can
tory for Congressman Norris who was
a leader in last winters revolt in
Congress, which deposed Speaker
Cannon from his place on the rules
committee.
In the Democratic ranks it was
Bryan's first defeat in twenty years
and was upon a measure strongly
supported throughout the state Bryan
had the courage of his convictions and
advised the Democratic party to sup
port local option. His warning was
disregarded by the Democrats, but
the Republicans adopted the plank by
a large vote. The prospect gives
courage to Republicans, for in the
West and South the liquor question is
dwarfing all others. The turning
down of Bryan because of his stand
upon the issue is the political sensa-
ton of the hour.

The New Saw,

Old legends in these aeroplane days,
many of them need revision.
For example in the olden days of the
simple life which our Democratic
friends would have again, when men
lived on dry salt cod, pork scraps and
potatoes and salt horse and labored
from the rising to the setting of the
sun, laboring men in mills and ship
yards of Maine often not seeing their
children save on Sundays. the entire
week through, the old rhyme
Man works from sun to sun
But woman's work is never done"
was true.
At the present period of prosperity
and civilization it might be Rewritten
like this:
Man works now eight hours a day
But woman just the same old way!
