Kansas City, Mo-, a letter was read from Won
In which you called strenuously and RIGHTLY
Tor greater rural development. In fact.
you said:
10 develop soil fertility we must develop
rural manhood and rural womanhood., :,
Allow me to call your attention to the fact
that our popular education is preventing this
development. Recently the cry was that the
rural mali, the telephone, the electric car. the
agricultural college, the teaching Of agricul-
ture in the schools, and sundry similar things
would foster love for the country and keep
the young men and young women in its
borders. Not so, however, the exodus has
continued more than ever, right where the
supposed representatives. were most apparent
Just at the time you were preparing your
letter the Trenton Sunday Advertiser was
preparing an article under the captionp
Farmers Unable to Get Necessary Help.p It
stated that boys could not be had to nick
potatoes at $500 per day and board, that thew
preferred to hang around the moving picture
and vaudeville shows. Why was this?
1t was simply because the boys had been re-
strained from labor by compulsory education
and child labor laws and that their appetites
were whet only for some kind of mental ex
element. They were physically unprepared
to do work. This is the way of it all over the
country. Education has been allowed to
usurp the development of a healthy rural
manhood and womanhood and a municipal
manhood as we'll.
We want the slogan to become Liberty,
Labor. Land and Simple Life" and to begin it
we want compulsory education and child labor
laws at once repealed. 1t is useless to point
out needs and leave unmentioned the means to
attain them.

Fall Work On The Roads.

Following the harvest of the corn and
tobacco crops, autumn work on the roads
is generally commenced as the men re.
quired for the work are then available.
Summer sees, as rule, but little more
done on the roads than is necessary TO
repair the damage inflicted by heavy
storms, even that efficient implement, the
splitiog drag, being neglected by some
road officials who fail to see the advan-
tage and economy of using it after every
rain. But if scarcity of labor is the ex.
cuse offered in summer it will not stand
as an excuse in autumn as that season
brings with it the men necessary as well
as the proper time for road repair. Then
the bulk of the fresh material required
by the road should be placed on the road
way. The first object, however. should
be to clean out the side bitches when
necessary. After that has been done the
mud collected in depressions and ruts on
the roadway should be removed. The
patching of these hollows wheel tracks.
ETC., should follow, but only with
material similar to that of which the road
is constructed.
The greater part of new materials
should be placed on the roadway before
winter has set in so that they can be par
TALLY incorporated in the road surface by
the time the severe frosts come when
they are most required in the road.
Stones laid in the spring of the year are
with difficulty consolidated thoroughly as
they are likely to work loose in dry
weather if they have not been compacted
by steam roller. In making repairs to
roads it is not advisable to use stones
larger than will readily pass through a
two inch ring, and if the stone used is
one of unusual hardness the size can be
further reduced to advantage. Stones Of
this size distributed in small patches on
the road surface as required is the most
satisfactory and economical method of
maintaining firm aud smooth road sur
face, and that is one of the first requi-
sites of good road after drainage.

Associate Justice Harlan. of L

Associate Justice Harlan, of the
Supreme Court. whose death occurred on
Saturday, was known as ''the dissenter"
and was generally to be found on the
peoples side of questions in which the
big trusts figured. He it was, in the cele-
brated Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust
cases, who declared most emphatically;
that the Court was in effect usurping legis-
lative duties by taking upon itself the
amendment of the antitrust law. Senator
La Toilette, William Jennings Bryan and
other progressive thinkers. were quick to
sieze upon the celebrated dissenting
opinion of Justice Harlan as substantiating
the claim long put forth that the counts
were exceeding their powers in setting
aside legislation by their decisions, and
demanding reform in this respect, the
clamor for which has become wide spread.

Gov. John A. Dix, of New York, has
sent to Governor Crothers and to the
governors of other states of the Union
and to the chief executives of the Cana
dian provinces an invitation to appoint
delegates to the American Good Roads
Congress and Eighth Annual Convention
of the American Road Builders Associa-
ton to be held at Rochester, N. ", No.
vember "a, IS, 10 and II.
This congress is held as the eighth
national convention of the American
Road Builders Association, an organiza-
ton international in. its membership and
comprehensive in its scope. Experts in
roadmaking and those who have studied
this subject from all angles aud have
applied theories in practice will take part
in the discussion and give to others the
benefit of their varied experiences
The speakers will be drawn chiefly
from The membership of the American
Road Builders Association, which in
cludes practically all of the state highway
commissioners, engineers and similar
officials in the United States and Canada.
President indications are that the atten-
dance will be larger than that at any
previous convention and that the pro-
ceedings will be Of unusual interest and
value.

The Recent Elections In Texas
And Maine.

The two important events in the ten
perance world this year were the elections
in Texas and Maine Texas voted on the
proposition 10 prohibit the sale of liquor
and the question 10 Maine was the repeal
of the prohibitory clause in the constitu-
ton. Some years ago Texas voted on
the same question she did this year and
defeated prohibition by nearly 1oo. 900
majority. The day before the recent
election the VETS claimed The state
would vote against prohibition from 7s.-
600 to 100000 majority. When the
ballots were counted the "wets" hai less

der. If Texas had voted her honest con

wet" margin, narrow as it is, would
have been entirely eliminated.
And it was also outside influences
which caused Maine to hang in the BAL

York flooded Maine with wet" literature

tired of prohibition. Some of her citizens
have expressed disgust because in some
