TO IMPROVE ALL HIGHWAYS
Especial to The Heraldl

WASHINGTON, Oct. .13.-Secretary
Wilson of the department of agriculture
has Just received a petition signed by
eight American delegates who attended
the recent international road congress
at Brussels requesting that his depart
ment consider the advisability of the
United States government becoming a
member of the Permanent international
Association of Road Congresses. The
office of public roads is part of the de-
partment of agriculture, and for this
reason the matter was put up to the
secretary for his consideration.
The special significance of the petit
ton is that it discloses the fact that
the United States, which has the most
extensive system of roads of any coun-
try in the world, has been one of the
three slowest nations to join the inter-
national road association now formally
adhered to by twenty-six governments.
Italy and England are the only other
large countries which have not Joined,
and 1t is probable that one or both of
these governments will have approved
before next years meeting of the inter-
national road congress. The assocla-
ton was founded in 1908, and Its work
is similar to that of the permanent in
ternational bureau of navigation, OF
which the United States government IS
a member, and to which congress last
year appropriated $50,000 outside the
annual dues of $1,000, to be used next
year when the annual meeting of the
association will be held in this country.

HELPFUL RAINS.

The rainfall of the last few days has
been quite general over North Dakota
and is very helpful in more ways than
one. 1t creates favorable conditions
for fall blowing and enables the farm
ers to complete their work more thor
oughly and with less hardship on their
teams.
1t also stores moisture in the soil
for next year and is ole of the guar
antees for good crops in 1911. The
farmers are not averse to heavy down
pours-and as often as they can come.
One of the highly beneficial results,
however, will be the effect the rain
will have on business and it's restora-
ton of confidence.
There is plenty of money in the
country and the conditions are no. at
all Bad except in the case of individ
uals who had poor crops and pressing
obligations. But many others were
clinging to their money tightly till they
saw more favorable conditions for the
future.
The general rainfalI-giving assur-
ance of moisture for next spring-is
decidedly helpful in this respect and
the response of trade to this sentiment
is almost immediate.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The state republican central head
quarters are in full swing at Bismarck
and the gentlemen in charge report
most encouraging progress. 1t is found
there is much less dissatisfaction with
the state ticket than during the two
previous campaigns.
The last primaries were conducted
with less bitterness than the one of
two years ago. The division of offices
was more equitable and the state plat
form is Of such a nature that all ex-
cept radicals on either side are salts
fed.
Even those who oppose the head of
the ticket are supporting the rest of
the nominees. Even the strongest per-
sonal opponents will admit that Mr..
Johnson was fairly and honestly nomi-
mated and is entitled to the place.
Those who believe in fair dealing are
supporting him-though they may
have favored one of the other four
~S~AAdANFtLCS at tie primaries.
CT the four opponents of Mr.. John
son, three Of them-Aaker. Buchanan
and Stimmel-have manfuIly an
nounced their loyal support to the man
who was successful in securing the po-
sition they sought They urge their
supporters and friends to do the same
thing.
One especially encouraging feature
for the campaign managers is the fact
that while many republicans over the
state-who admit they voted for Burke
four and two years ago-are announc-
Ing they will not do so in this cam
paign-there are few, if any, republi-
cans who have not voted for Burke
before, who will do so in this election
The three term idea is repugnant to
many people,
The vaccillating policy of the gov
ernor on the senatorial selection dis
gusted the voters.
The governors vetoes in which he
gave some institutions everything thew
asked and cut the heart out of others
materially discriminating against the
xarmers-will lose him votes.
Then his salary grab deal-in view
Of his plea of lack of funds for other
appropriations-was the near-limit.

RUM OR RUcTToN.

There's a joker in the democra t,c
Maine victory. The popular uprising,
which threw the recent victory to the
democratic party was not entirely due
to the protests of an outraged populaee
on tariff principles-as the press dis
patches would indicate.
In fact the liquor interests were a
much more important factor than the
insurgent republicans. These powerful
interests gave their money, SUPPORT
and influence to the democratic marty
They had been shut out by repub-
Hcan legislation and the state was a
nest of Speak easies' and .blind
pigs" as it is yet.
The liquor interests enlisted the
support of the democratic party to
have the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution resubmitted. The
republicans fatty refused 10 tie up to
the saloon and brewery rnagnates. and
these which were financially powertuI
threw their support to the demo-
Gratis.
The liquor Issue was an entirely
larger issue than any other. Prohibi-
ton had not been a success in Maine.
II had led to the creation Of thou

FOR BETTER ROADS.

The farmers. autoists, property own
ers and almost every ono else are TAX
ing more interest IN good roads than
ever before. The newspapers of the
state have been doing considerable
educational work and scarcely an edi-
tor has failed to boost the movement.
1t is probable thai the coming ses-
sion OF the legislature will see favor
able legislation and that road con-
structioh and repair work IN North
Dakota will soon be along sane, and in
telligent lines-instead of being dome
in haphazard way as in the past.
But in the meantime the people
should not forget they have to travel
over the highways this winter. There
Will be fall rains. The Forum hopes
they will be heavy and frequent. Care
should be exercised to see the road
Ways do not freeze up rough and in
ruts. A little dragging after each rain
will keep the roadbed smooth and
rounded and when winter does come
there will DO some pleasure in travel.
If nothing is done and roads are cut
up after each rain they will be almost
impossible during the winter.

FoRGETFUL RICHARD.

When Richard Croker suddenly de-
cided to become a resident of England
he left New York without taking out
of one of the Manhattan banks a bal
ance of slightly less than $1,000.
Repeated notices were sent to him
about the money, but he paid no at
tention to it. Recently the bank 40
vertised the deposit, along with 9th
ers-the New York law requiring tl.ut
all banks must advertise balances all
lowed to remain for more than ten
years.
One Of Mr. Croker's sons saw the
ad and Immediately notified the bank
that he would have his father with.
draw the money.
That was a wise son A thousand
dollars comes with less ease in New
York now than it did in the days when
