are no government built roads in this
country. 1t Is a mistake. Norway
has found that government built
roads are profitable. They increase
the value Of farming lands: they en-.
. the farmers to get their crops
are no crops of any kind that are
permitted to rot on the ground fol
want Of transportation. I am told
that this occurs frequently in the
United States.
Norway spends annually more
n 100000 for the construction
OF new harbors. but in this. Of course,
we are behind this country.
Il think I have never taken a trir
to any part Of the world on which ]
have learned more" added Mr.. Smith.
america Is in advance of other ma
tions in many respects. I have dis.
covered many useful suggestions in
harbor work. In the manufacture OF
machinery for use in engineering ]
think this country surpasses any
other nation. Norway has purchased
chinery Of this kind-cranes. dredges,
steam shovels. cts.
Business is very good in Norway
concluded Mr.. Smith. but like the
rest Of the world we are suffering
from high prices. Our crops arc
good-better this year than ever be-
fore. perhaps-but the cost Of LIVING
has been continually increasing. We
are confronted by the same problem
as much at a loss to know how to
solve 1t as you are here in America
Sure Taft VIII Carry Ohio.
"A month ago many Ohio voters
who have been in the past unalterablc
republicans were inclined to break
away from party lines and cas- their
situation has cleared. and is getting
better right along" said Judge F. G.
Whitoff. postmaster of Dayton. Ohio.
The outlook now is that President
Taft will carry the state, although
there is no denying that Roosevelt
has q great many friends. I was ap-
pointed postmaster by Colonel Roose-
yeit. and I have great admiration for
him. but I think President Taft is en-
titled to another term. and will get
It,. 1t has been the custom ever since
this nation became a republic to give
n president who has performed his
duties we'll a second term.
II do not think any republican will
deny that President Taft has been
honestly striving to carry out the
pledges made in the platform Of 1908.

I'm Ohio u people are coming to
this belief, and I believe Mr.. Taft viii!

There is good prospect that the
republicans will increase the number

the retirement of Jimmy Cox. who
was nominated for governor by the
democrats. gives the republicans hope
Of electing their candidate, Mr.. Buck

You see." continued DR.. Street.
when Baltimore got the democratic
convention Il got also the impression
in the country. hut we have fond
that h national capital is the favor
lite place for holding conventions.
There are more great gnthrrirxs
come to Washington than to any other
city. and while Baltimore would like
to have a few Of them, 1 have to give
Il to this city for the way in which
It entertains and takes care Of It's
visitors. The dental convention, for
instance. is the largest gathering the
dentists have ever had. and we have
been entertained splendidly.
