$4,000 REWARD

The Ratification Federation has just
discovered that few days ago the brew
cry ard liquor interests OF the country
placed in the Wheeling banks eight hun
bred Thousand dollars Tor the purpose OF
buying the e ectian.
The purpose is to buy up the election
clerks and get them TO erase the cross
marks of the drys on the ballot and mark
as cast for wet"
The liquor dealers are desperate as the
vote Of the state will undoubtedly go
against the saloon and this is The last
desperate chance. They expect that
election clerks can be bought If offered
enough money and the brewery interests
are prepared to pay enormous brides
The clerks Of the election can simply
name their price and get it.
To counterfeit this move, the West Vir-
gina Anti Saloon League has offered re-
ward of Five Hundred Dollars for the
first conviction for election frauds in con-
neclion with the Prohibition Amend
nent, and reward Of Two Hundred
Dollars for each subsequent conviction

IDEAL TYPE or
ROAD PAVEMENT
4 Combination Highway to Be
!, Tried In New Jersey.
GOOD UNDER ALL CONDITIONS

r. A. Meeker, State Highway Engineer,
Has Novel Plan For Making Service
able Roads With Strips of Different
MateriaIs-Would Be Cheap.
The question is being asked on every
side, What is the best pavement for
our country roads, especially those that
are subjected to a mixed motor and
horse drawn traffic?"
The answer to the question embraces
several factors. These may be sum.
married. under three general heads
viz. utility, durability and cost. The
most useful pavement is best described
by the phrase coined at the close of the
eighteenth century by the trainers of
the original turnpike acts-that is, it
must be smooth, hard and convenient
A pavement that meets these require
ments leaves nothing to be desired
In New Jersey we have an album
dance of good road material In certain
sections, while in others it is lacking.
The gravel in some portions of south
Jersey makes an excellent road for
nine months of the year If the travel
is not too heavy. The trap and dolo-
mite of the central and northern sec
lions make good road at all seasons,
but they have two bad qualities-one
that they become dusty in dry weather,
the other that they break up and rut
under heavy travel. To combat these
two evils various bitumens have been
used, and the results, when the proper
materials were employed, have been
satisfactory, except that the surface is
slippery in cold weather
To overcome this objection 1t is pro-
posed to build our trunk lines as fol-
lows: Pave the twelve feet In the center
Of the road with a mixture of stone
and asphalt and on each side Of this
lay a plain macadam pavement four
feet wide by four inches deep In slip
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1912-10-31

perry weather on a road of this sort the
horses can travel on the stone on each
side, allowing one wheel of the wagon
to run on the bituminous pavement If
the driver SO desires and leaving suffl-
c1ent room for an automobile to run on
the center. BY following this method
three ends would be attained-flrst, the
horses would be able to travel over the
road without slipping; second, more
satisfactory and wider pavement would
be had for less money, and, third, there
would be less obstruction to traffic. A
D1tum1nous pavement sixteen feet wide
would cost more per mile than a COM
binaton pavement twenty feet wide
built as above suggested, and as an
added advantage Of the latter the traf-
f1c would be distributed over the entire
road
A pavement laid according to this
plan would also be free from the dis
agreeable and unsightly drop at the
edge that is so often seen on the sides
Of bituminous pavement, particular
ly If the soil of which the shoulders is
formed is Of light or sandy nature.
This sharp drop at the edge Of the
pavement is also very injurious to it
owing to the sheartng off of the edges
OF the pavement by the wheels of the
vehicles when they are driven Off or
on This shearing or breaking Of the
edge is most destructive to the life of
the pavement The opening SO formed
admits the water into the body of the
pavement, and as a consequence disin-
tegration begins. The durability of
the pavement is thus greatly lessened,
as the breaking of the bond not only
causes the shattering of the pavement,
but permits a movement of the stone
particles composing 1t. This attrition
greatly increases the wear, thereby
augmenting the cost of maintenance,
with the result that the annual ex-
penditure is much increased
The ultimate cost of combination
type of pavement constructed as above
described win be much less than that
Of the other kind so that whether
measured on the basis of first or main
tenance cost the pavement above de-
scribed will be by far the cheapest.

truest and nobiest development
when they are complementary to
each other. 1t seems TO me that
a woman has almost enough to
do in attending Be- her home.
While | believe it wise for a

do not believe in a wife interfer-
ing in his business affairs. The
home is woman's sphere; the
world is mans A man does not
want to be bothered with house
keeping details. AS a rule. they
are too trivial to be discussed.
1t is good rule for wives not to
trouble their husbands with the
vagaries or idiosyncrasies of the
butcher and the baker De not
take this to mean that wife
should not spur her husband on

THOUGHT AND CONDUCT.

Your manners will depend very
much upon the quality of what
you frequently think on. for the
soul is as it were tinged with the
color and complexion of thought.
Be sure therefore to work In such
maxims as these: Wherever a
man lives he may live well. By
consequence a life of virtue and
that of a co1rtier are not incon-
sistent- Again, that which a
thing is made for is that toward
which it is carried, and In that
which 1t is naturally carried to
lies the end of the act. Now,
where the end of thing is, there
the advantage and improvement
Of 1t are certainty lodged. Now,
the happiness of mankind lies in
society, for is it not plain that
the lower order Of beings are
made for the higher and the
higher for the service of each
other?-Marcus Aurelius.

Silence Gives Consent.

Ever since Mr Taft became
president Colonel Roosevelt has
been one of the editors of The
Outlook, a weekly publication
having nation wide circulation,
and since his return from his
African hunting trip he has
made numerous speeches
throughout this country, prob
ably in excess of one hundred,
and up to this writing he has
never in one OF his speeches or
one of his editorials retracted
one word of the many splendid
tributes which he has paid to
Tafts wisdom, integrity and
craftsmanship, nor has he ever
felt called upon to apologize for
his strenuous and unqualified in
dorsement of Taft 5 fitness to be-
come president of the United
States, There is an old sadage
that Silence gives consent, and
Colonel RooSevelt's silence can
only be construed to mean that
he, in common with the great
majority of the people of this
country, sincerely believes that
President Taft has fully meas
ured up to Roosevelt's estimate
of his character and fitness for
the presidency, and That ne al
ways Il little more tnan makes
good what he does promise, and

never permits himself to be led
