BOUNDED TO DEATH.

Perhaps there are some high Off
Gals at Washington who felt a pang
of remorse on learning of the suicide
of ]. A. Wayland, founder of the APP
peal To Reason. If they did then
they are not entirely beyond redemp-
ton If they did not then there must
surely be men utterly deviod of con
science, in responsible federal posi-
tons.
]. A. Wayland was the victim of a
long drawn out, merciless and mali
cious persecution conducted in strictly
legal form. It's object was to force
him to cease publication of the APP
peal to Reason. The cause of this
was that the Appeal exposed too many
facts which plutocracy did not wish to
have known.
The persecution started many years
ago when the postal authorities tried
to find some preteXt for barring the
Appeal from the mails. Ridiculous
rulings were made to be applied to
no other papers than those obnoxious
to predatory interests. Since very
few of such papers have enough
money to make much of fightin the
federal courts, and justice is unob-
tainable in these courts without money
to pay for red tape, the postal author
tiles probably did not expect serious
opposition. But the Appeal hadmany
friends who rallied to its support and
succeeded in winning out.
This attempt having failed an the
Appeal still pursuing the even enor
of it's way, the federal authoities
considered it advisable to resot to
criminal prosecution. Accordingly a
trumped up charge of libel was
brought against the editor, Fred Var
rem. The man "libelled" was UNI
questionably at the time of publca-
ton a fugitive from justice. He Ias J

Improved Roads in the United States

Rhode Island, the smallest State in
the Union, with an area of only 1850
square miles, ranks first of all the
States in it's percentage of improved
roads. Under the direction of Sec
rotary Wilson, very comprehensive
statistical investigation of the mileage
and cost of public roads in the United
States has recently been completed
by the office of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This document reveals many interest
ing facts. Thus, apparently, it is not
because of her small size that Rhode
Island is able to boast of 49. IA per
cent of improved roads, for Delaware
with an area of 1850 square miles has
only 6.22 per cent of improved roads.
On the other hand, Massachusetts,
with an area of 8,315 square miles
has 40 per cent of her roads improved,
or very nearly the same percentage as
therefore, seems to have little or no
effect on the percentage OF improved
roads.
The investigations further shows
that there are 2, 1879, 645 miles of public
roads in continental United States.
OF this vast mileage, only 100, 476, or
866 per cent, are classed as improved.
AS stated above, Rhode Island leads
with 40. IA per cent of improved roads
while Massachusetts is second with
40 per cent. Indiana follows with
36.7 per cent. Ohio, Connecticut,

macadam road.

The King drag was exploited by
the department of agriculture among
the farmers of the Middle West about
three years ago and since that time
thousands of miles of finest highway
have been made with it's use by the
farmers Of Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa, and right here in Pierce
county it can be used to much better
purpose than in any of the states
named because here we have plenty
of rock and gravel in the soil and the
natural drainage is 100 per cent better
than can be found in the Middle West.
This applies to improved and unim-
proved highways alike. Take for
instance the road from Puyallup to
Ortine; much money has been spent
along this route and still after a few
heavy rains the top dressing is seam
the bottom is solid and if dragged by
the AUDITING property holders it will
in short time take a hard firm crown
that will stand up under rain and in
dry weather throw off so per cent less
dust than under present conditions.
Once a movement for the use of
drags is we'll started it will spread like
wildfire, and as good road in front
of mans property is an incentive
for other improvements you will see
wherever this movement spreads the
effect in general conditions of all
property. If a man has a muddy,
rutty road in front of his home there
is no incentive to fix up his driveway
or cut the weeds in the front yard or
anything else; the road is the founda-
