said, when you said that schools
throughout this State had been brought

but in Montgomery County Blair Lee has
seen that schools and politics never come

In an instant the whole meeting was
in an uproar. Men cheered and waved

Montgomery County was concerned, there
was another demonstration SURPRISING

SENATOR'S BIG EXPENDITURES
Hepburn, of Idaho, Ready to Re-
port On Committee'S Probe in the
Wisconsin EIectiOn-Aged sOIOn
an easy Mark in POIItics-His
Generosity Traditional.

Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, chairman of
the committee that conducted the investi-
cation in connection with the election of
Senator Isaac Stephenson, has returned
Washington, and is now preparing the
report, which will be submitted to Con-
gress after ii meets in December. The
committee will meet here to permit the
introduction of certain records and off,
cial papers.
Senator Hepburn is not discussing the
findings of the committee in advance of
the submission Of the report but there
appears to be no doubt that the inYesti-
cation added little to what was already
publicly known as the result of the Sem
ator's sworn statement of his expendi-
lures, submitted in accordance with the
requirements of the law.
What Has Been Proved.
A Republican standpatter said last
night:
IF the investigation has proved any
thing, 1t is that it is possible to spend
large sums Of money in a primary elec-
ton, where the plain people are sup
posed to have the controlling voice, just
as it is in the case of the selection Of a
Senate by a legislature. The investiga-
tion has also disclosed the bitterness with
which the La Toilette faction has pur-
sued the octogenarian Senator from Wis
consin, who was the former patron, in
a financial way, of the La Toilette move
ment in Wisconsin. There was a time
when Senator Stephenson was not so un-
popular with the so-called progressive
Republicans OF Wisconsin. 1t was when
he was giving everything and receiving
nothing in politics. When he was buying
daily newspapers and directing their edi-
torial policies in support of La Toilette
and making large cash contributions to
advance Senator La Toilette in politics,
Mr.. Stephenson was held in high local
esteem as a philanthropist. But when he
refused to retire from the race for re-
election to the Senate on the demand of
Senator La Toilette he at once acquired
horns.
Was an Easy Mark.
IF the committee cared to indulge a
sense of humor. It might find Senator
Stephenson guilty Of being an easy
mark, in politics. judging from the way
in which he handed out his money IN
the Senatorial race and the alleged uses
70 which it was applied. Something ike
$4,000 was paid for cigars. Senator
Stephenson is said 70 be worth approxt-
n1ately $20,000.e00. His generosity Is
traditional in WASHINGTON. While he was
acting as angel for the La Foiiefte
movement In his own State. the polit-
ical exchequer was always well supplied.

D. Ward King. the now famous
inventor Of the road drag, delivered
an address before an audience of
county supervisors, township trus-
tees, farmers and business men in
Sibley. one day last week and he
gave his audience many good facts
to consider. Mr.. King got his idea
of dragging.or pudding the road with
a drag after every rain from a hog
wallow. He discovered that a hog
would root, roll and wallow when
there vas water on the ground, pud-
ding the dirt and water, which for
med an impervious paste, holding
the water, but pail of water pour
ed on the ground nearby would dis
appear at once. The Tribune quot
ed Mr.. King as follows:
Mr.. Kings subject vas "Good
Roads Without Money" he claim
ed that with a drag and "a pillow he
could make a good road in any sort
of soil that was out of water most of
the time. The drag should be run
over the road after every rain. It
spreads he said, a coat of water
PROBING or puddled earth over the
top while it smoothed it +; and these
successive layers of interpreting
would finally make a highway i'm
pervious to water and from which
the rainfall would quickly flow. It
was not necessary to go TO the
trouble of grading the ordinary high
way. The drag would leave the
crown of the highway higher than
The sides. IF the road vas not wide
enough a single furrow could be
olowed at each side, each time the
,oad was dragged and the new earth
Ipread over the highway with the
irag. he ridiculed the system of
,iling the center of the road with
cd and soft earth and leaving it in
N unfinished condition to be packed
nd smOOthed by traffic. The more
be drag vas used the better the
Dad became. The road along his
arm which had been dragged for =
fteen years is better and smoother
han the average race track. The Z
rdinary use of highway, the pad
ling of horses feet and the crunch :
ig of the wheels had the effect of =
uddling the soil and helping to rem
er it impervious to water. The road T
rag finished the operation and I
noothed the surface, assisting the q
atural process. It is impossible to- e
ay, he said, to grow corn in the old "
ante Fe trail, although the trail
IS been closed for twenty years. le

Combinations And conspiracies Of
Modern Time.

Macaulay declared it impossible
to prevent the exposure of combina-
tons, plots and conspiracies, and
cited numerous remarkable sequels
to prove his conformation. Since
Macaulay's day. some of the grea;
minds on earth have been employed
to improve, suggest and devise
schemes and plans to prevent dis
astrous exposures and to render IN
fair combinations and conspiracies
safe as we'll as profitable.
Big Business, made safe by tariff
laws of its own dictation, ami given
control of public men by enormous
campaign funds which it has con-
tributed to make their election sure,
has enjoyed in this country power
and opportunity of which even the
great historian and philosopher never
dreamed. Trained from Infancy"
in the school of protection, Big
Business has been brought up to de-
mand for itself special privileges and
to do, and pay whatever it is neces-
sary to pay, in order to secure and
preserve such privileges. 1t has
worked in with the public men who
gave it the people as an inheritance
and who protected it even by legis-
lation against the people and against
outside competitors. It has bought
for them seats in city councils, in
state Legislatures, in congress, judg-
ships, governorships, even the
presidency, in return for the privi-
leges and prerogatives Of protection.
In the days of Macaulay no such
and no such opportunities
existed. Ten sharp men of affairs, !
.rained and strengthened in our {
wonderful school Of protection, saved s
rom liability and disgrace by the P
eloquent support of statesmen whom 4
hey control, need not find it 50 diff o
icult to avoid the penalties of ex- Il
'osure as it was hundred years
go.
Under certain Of our remarkable >,
avs, by which one citizen is licensed r
D take the advantage of others, and r
nder which vast combinations have \,
cen created and enabled and en- :,
outraged to exploit the people, and
D buy special privileges almost at &c
I'LL, it is much more difficult to ex- g
ose, to defeat, to bring to justice Q
be conspirators than in the past. IA
Still, the English historian has pr
cen indicated many times over ar
ince he declared it impossible to Of
ave from exposure conspiracies TO
olcont governments and plots to
nslave or Cypress the people; and, eo
j spite Of the shreWd schemes, I'M Il.
mited capital and wonderful oppor- re-
mites enjoyed by Big Business in -

A Cold Ride.


 All through his life Senator Doilive of Iowa had horror of fast train and possible railroad wrecks. Once h, was on a train with Vice Presiden Fairbanks.
 Deliver awoke in the middle of thu night, and it seemed to him that tn, train was going at terrific speed. H, climbed out of his berth and, afrayet only in his pajamas, started down tn, length of the train to find the con ductor and ask him to order the trail run at less speed. It was cold night but the senator did not mind that unti the door of his car snapped shut ant locked behind him and he found tha the door of the next coach was als, locked. He rode sixty-fire miles locked ont in the cold of the vestibule befor, he could wake up anybody to let hin in. MT. Fairbanks finally heard his cries for help and rescued him.A-New York Tribune.
