WAY In CONNECTICUT.
other words. repair sets in after main.
tenance fails to keep the road in proper
condition.
No state or community has ever built
or kept in repair system of first class
improved roads under the personal
service or labor tax system. In fact,
this system is not applicable to any
class Of road construction or mainte-
nance. not even to earth roads. Its
principles are unsound. its operations
unjust, its practice wasteful, and the
results obtained under it are unsatis-
factory in every particular.
Undoubtedly the best system OF main.
tenance is that which provides for the
permanent employment OF skilled Ia
borers or caretakers who may have
charge of particular sections of road
or who may be assigned to any part of
the county where the work is most
needed. Men employed in this way be-
come experts in their particular line of
work, and If they make mistakes one
year they are pretty apt to correct
them the next; but. under the labor tax
system. these mistakes are repeated
from time to time. If one man is en-
ployed to look after a particular stretch
Of road or to do particular class of
work he Will soon learn to take pride
and interest in his work.
While it would be manifestly impos-
sible to adopt this system throughout
the entire country on account Of limit
ed resources and sparse population,
still 1t is believed that there are many
places where 1t might be used with
great success. It would be difficult to
find county which is so poor that 1t
could not afford to employ continuously
eight or ten laborers and three or four
teams to maintain and repair its roads.
There are many counties. however,
which could we'll afford to employ ten
times such a force. That such n plan
would be more effective than the labor
tax system would appear to be self
evident.
OF all our roads the earth roads are
probably the most neglected. Expert
ence has shown that by proper main
lenance earth roads may be transform
cd into something better than eIonEat-
ed mudholes. The first and last COM
mandment in the maintenance Of earth
roads is to keep the surface well drain.
ed. Water is the great enemy to our
clay or soil roads and must be removed
Immediately or much mud and very bad
roads are the result. To insure good
drainage the bitches must be attended
to and Instructions removed and
Emooth, raised crown Of the road main
tanned For this purpose the split log
drag or some similar device is very
useful and at the same time mex
pensive. The drag can be used on a
sand-clay or gravel road Just as effec-
lively as on an earth road.
The following points should be borne
In mind in dragging an earth, gravel or
sand-clay road: The drag should be
light and should be hauled over the
road at an angle of about forty-five de-
grees in such way that only a small
amount OF earth is pushed to the cen.
ter OF the road. The driver should ride
on the drag and never drive faster than
a walk. The dragging should begin on
the side OF the road OF wheel track.

will not bind. Never allow dust or
mud to lie on the surface Of a mac.

will increase the cost OF maintenance.
The middle Of the road should al.
ways be maintained little higher than
the sides 90 that the rains may run

Democratic Senators and mem
bers of the House Of Represent
atives are unanimous in declare
ing that every day brings strong
er and stronger assurances that
the Democrats, will not only elect
President this fall, but will
sweep the country from ocean to
ocean. The fight between Pres
ident Taft and ex-president
Roosevelt has gone so far, and
the bitterness between the two
has become so intense, that there
is no possibility of healing the
deep and painful wounds that
they have inflicted on each other.

TELLS OF JACKSON
Biographer Says Ex-President
Would Be MuCkraker.
Conditions Much the Same-Great
Democratic Leader Always Oppos-
ed National Debt, Now Con-
sidered Harmless.

Northampton, Mass.-"If Andrew
Jackson were on earth today he
would, [ believe, be muckraker."
This is the statement of Prof. John
| Spencer Bassett, the authorized biog-
rapher of the former president, whose
day" was recently celebrated His
biographer was asked: IF Andrew
Jackson should come back to earth
what would he do; where would he
stand?"
II am no prophet" he replied, "and
[ am not discussing politics, but I will
tell you how I think he would feel
about modern conditions, Judging this
from my study of his life.
"Jackson's keenest impulse was
against political jobbery and he would
be in sympathy with the present-day
muckraker. He opposed internal i'm
provements because he thought local
tiles We're taking advantage of the
government to get roads built. There
was group Of road contractors in
Philadelphia whom he thought were
promoting the demands for roads for
private profit.
"How did conditions in Jackson's
time compare with ours?"
There are some similarities be-
tween political conditions in our day
and in Jackson's,'' replied the histo-
rian. "The people feel the same as
regards monopoly; they have the
same suspicion of what is called a
money trust and there is the same
demand for stronger leader whom
special interests cannot control or
corrupt
"The tariff was almost as live an is
sue in Jackson's day as at present.
Protection has had two pa1my days in
our history-from 1915 to 1888 and
from 1866 to date. In Jackson's time
1t was checked by compromise
which provided for a reduction so
gradual that it did not damage indus
try, and when the schedule had been
brought down to a revenue basis
there followed nearly 20 years of pub
lie economy and business prosperity.
I'm his fight on the bank Jackson
committed some errors. Some Of his
charges were not true, and the peo-
pie could see it. Sometimes he was
needlessly harsh toward opponents,
and the people could see this. But
for all that they supported him, and
these were not merely the ignorant,
stupid portion of the communities, but
The average neOn1o small merchants
farmers and planters, and intelligent
employees of all classes. They were
concerned with one chief purpose, and
on that they were satisfied with the
leader. They thought some of the
charges against him the mere eXag-
geration of partisanship, and others,
If true, Of such minor Importance that
they could be ignored in view of the
grand purpose"

AVOIDING Waste.

Here's something clever" said Mr.
Fadoogus to his wife. "Bimso, the nov
city publisher, gave me this set OF
jingle dinner cards to give to you with
his compliments. They're new idea
he is pushing; they sell for 80 cents
a set"
"How nice of hint" cooed Mrs. Fa-
doogus.
Two weeks later Mr.. F'adoogus again
said to his wife:
"My dear, I do not want to find
fault, but really couldn't see any
urgent reason for your giving that big
dinner last night. It cost over a hun
dred and fifty dollars, and I can't al
ford such expenses at this time of the
year."
well, my goodness!" she replied
4 had to do something to use up those
place cards you brought home to
me-"

GIRL HIDES AWAY II DAYS
Child Fourteen Years Old Is Repri-
manded by Her Guardian for Stay
ing Out Late to Film Shows.

Seattle, Wash.-Hidden under a
bundle Of dirty quilts in the dark and
little-used basement of her home for
seventeen days, while her guardians
and the police searched everywhere
for. her, Velma Jones, fourteen years
old, was dragged from her hiding
place, shadow of her former self, a
gaunt and pitiful sight. The girl had
dropped from 152 pounds to 125
pounds. Despite her experience, she
is not penitent and sulks and re-
fuses to be comforted.
Crawling from her hiding place
when the hand of her guardian, w. c..
Wilber, of 1888 Brooklyn avenue,
raised the quilt, the girl was so weak
that she scarcely could walk. She
had hidden away when reprimanded
for staying out late to a moving pic
ture show.

Roosevelt's Campaign Fund

1t is now we'll known that RoOse-
velt's backer in this fight for the
republican nomination, is nothing
less than the great Steel Trust"
which is more powerful organ
ization than the Standard Oil.
They are paying Roosevelt's bills,
paying postage on his literature,
hiring special cars and automo-
biles and doing everything that
money can do to insure his NOM
ination. Roosevelt himself is
endeavoring to create the impress
sion that his fight against Taft is
the result of popular demand on
the part Of the republican voters,
for his nomination, bpt that pop
ular demand is created entirely
by the enormous corruption funC
of millions which the Steel Trust
and Harvester Trusts are fur.

A Fatal Error.

"Pooh!"
The critical theatrical manager
blurted out the expression Of disap-
proval, and the footlights fiickered.
Pooh! You call yourself a vaude-
vile singer, and yet you do not pro-
nounce saw as if it were spelled
'sor.'"
Realizing his utter humiliation, the
ambitions aspirant bade farewell to
his hopes, and left the theater, dimly
wondering whether there would be an
opening for him as school teacher.
But he had his doubts about that,
as he was not quite sure as to the pro-
nunciation of 'tidea."

nishing. Roosevelt not only left
these twosgreat trusts unharmed
when he prosecuted the other
trusts but he actually helped the
Steel Trust to swallow its only
rival and competitor, the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Co., and Roose-
velt actually promised the Trust
that he would not interfer with
consolidation which made the
Steel Trust the most powerful
corporation this country has ever
produced.

Lizard in Stomach a Year.

Milton, N. D.-Loss Of flesh at the
rate of a pound day has been sue
cessfully combatted by Joseph Schnei-
der of Wales since he coughed up a

He ran to catch a trolley car
But was, of course, too late;
He was so near and yet so far,
For all his speedy gait.
And as the street car disappeared
He wildly shook his fist,
And through his wildly wagging beard
These syllables he Kissed:
'My goodness!'
He walked along the icy street
And suddenly he slipped,
He tried to stay upon his feet
He jerked and bent and dipped,
Then with a sudden, awful scoot
He gave it up and fell,
And as he rose, with one loud hoot
He gave this wicked yell:
Good graciousI'
He tried to drive a little nail,
The hammer whacked his thumb;
With sudden pain his face grew pale,
His elbow, too, grew numb.
He slammed the hammer to the floor
And danced in agonee,
The while with anguish in his roar
These gentle words said he:
''Well! Well!'
His hat blew off into the mud
And rolled along the walk;
A flash of holiness filled his blood
And he began to talk.
He stood there, looking at his hat,
And stamped it, crown and brim,
Until twas mashed entirely fiat,
While these words came from him:
MERCY mel"
