egotistically declaring that he wa:
the only individual in the whole
United States that could lead the
progressive fight to a successful is
sue, the Colonel stood fast and said
ut must be ME- or no one" So he
failed, and he led a revolt, using the
specious pleas to the people so well
known and threadbare. He knew
that he was popular and he banked
on that popularity to land him again
in the White House. But he failed
to induce enough of his former Re-
publican supporters to follow him
outside the party and he was defeat
ed.
Right there the eyes of his sup
porters were opened. Men who de-
clared that the Colonel was the po-
lltical Moses who could lead the peo-
pie into the Promised Land suddenly
discovered that their idol was moth
ing more than an Office seeker and
his actions and his published utter
ances since the election, have con-
frmed that belief. Already the tide
is turning. From every section of
the country comes the news that
prominent leaders in the Roosevelt
party are already forsaking their new
affiliations and will labor henceforth
in the ranks OF Republicanism. With
LaFollette, Borah. Hadley and 9TH
ers, they believe that the reform
must come through the old organiza-
ton and they are exerting their ef-
forts to this end. That they will
succeed is evident and when they do,
what will become of the Roosevelt
movement?
1t appears to all unprejudlced OBJ
servers that Colonel Roosevelt has
again missed a glorious opportunity
to entrench himself securely In the
former good graces of the American
people. Had he, even after leading
his causeless revolt, following the
election, come Que openly and declar
ed that the purpose of the progress
i've party had triumphed; that the
element of the Republi-
can organization had been over
defeated, and that re-
forms henceforth must come only
through the former with the pro-
gressive element in control he would |
have placed himself in position to
become a prominent factor in all fu-
.ure movements along progressive
ines. But he has taken the oppo-
site course and, by so doing, has eff
'ectually removed himself from all
'uture consideration. The Republi-
IAN party will go on. growing
stronger day by day. and year by
,ear, until its crushing defeat Mo-
,ember shall result in purging the
organization of Its reactionary ele-
nent and place 1t once more in po-
ition where it will be a successful
contender against the free trade the
,rles of Democracy. The true pro-
,resslves have shown their hand and
AVE already began the work of re-
the shattered and disor-
anized forces of reform and have
roven that they are honest in their
movement What possible excuse
an there be for the continuation of
he Progressive party other than to
erpetuate the radicallsm and the
ersonality of one man alone?

It's always different after election.
Indications are that the Democrats
do not want tariff revision as badly
as they thought. The Portland Jour-
nal prints letter from a prominent
Bourbonite in which the hope Is ex-
pressed that the new majority party
will "be careful in revising the tar
iff" In the calm after election judg-
ment of the average individual. the
thought is mighty apt to hold sway
that present times are altogether too
good to run the risk OF changing
them by tariff tinkering. But the
tinkering will come-because that's
the only plan Democracy welcomes
the tearing down of what Republi-
canism has built up. 1t has always
been that way, and there is no rea-
son to believe that things will be diff
ferent this time.

HAVE GOOD ROADS IN ENGLAND
Evan Evans Writes to Polk Friends
of Impressions Abroad.


of Impressions Abroad
Polk County Observer, Dallas, Or.
Dear Sirs: / promised several of
my Polk county friends that l would
write them and l think by writing
through your paper it will reach
many of my friends and make my
! task easier
l arrived safe in London after a
beautiful ocean voyage, the sea being
perfectly calm, in fact ideal, on the
beautiful ship Lusitania, one of the
finest ships afioat
| 1 am now visiting Wales but after
| living 28 and one-half years in Polk
county, things don't look very good to
me. The old stone houses and barns
some of them thatched with straw,
that have stood centuries, do not
seem to decay for better ones to take
their place.
| But for fine Herford cattle and
Shire horses, they certainly know
how to raise them and finish them
for market. They force their calves
with all the best feed, and will put
them on the market at two years old
at $75 per head.
1t is rather laughable to see these
people farm; they have not advanced
any in the last 28 years and their
methods are nearly the same, but
they have us skinned to a finish" on
fine cattle and horses and especially
Good Roads.
l made the statement last spring
through your paper that we wasted
40 per cent of our road money by
not knowing how to build roads and
was censured by some for making
the statement but, after seeing the
roads here, l am convinced that the
waste is even greater.
The climate here is similar to Or
egon. They have rock crushers and
rollers similar to ours, but they build
a road free from dust and mud over
which you can take a large load as
well in winter as in summer. l am
satisfied that l could start out and
walk 20 miles in any direction with |
slippers on my feet and not get them |
muddy or my feet wet and we had a |
heavy rain last week. I was aston
ished when / saw their roads; why |
should we be so far ahead of them
in all our other improvements and yet
fail on our roads.
The roads here are all built on
grade about Is feet wide
and only about eight inches crown.
The grade is similar to the streets of
Dallas. You don't see hog backs"
thrown up high in the center of a
road that would tip over a load on
either side. Their grades are made
very gradual from side to side-just
enough to run the water off easily.
1 will not say more on the road
question at this time; however I will
get some valuable information before
leave here which 1 hope will do
some good. / probably shall sail for
home some time this month, Hop
ing to see all my friends in Polk
county again soon, ! am,
Respectfully yours,
EVAN EVANS.

The Observer prints today letter
from it's good friend Evan Evans
who is now visiting relatives and
friends in England. The prominent
feature of this letter are his COM
ments on the good roads of his ma
tive land and his declaration that the
people are ahead of us In this regard
although we lead them in other par
ticulars. Mr.. Evans is an authority
on roads, and last year he made the
statement in signed communication
in this paper, that much of the coun-
ty money appropriated for roads was
wasted. His observations in England
have led him to believe that he was
right. although he was subjected to
much criticism by local people. The
good roads of England are a prac-
teal Illustration of the fact that bet
ter road builders in this country
would insure more judlcious use of
the taxpayers funds.

GRAIN FIRE uNsuepuED.
Water Hauled to Dan. by Train for

Fort Dodge, July se.-Fire still RACES
in the remains of the 5000 bushels Of
grain in the Western Elevator Com
pany at Dana The town has used its
entire supply of water and the NJ. &
ST L. today sent two carloads Of water
to the scene to be sidetracked there
and used in case the smoldering grain
should start any Of the nearby build
ings.
Il is considered there is imminent
danger Of this. The NJ. & st. L. ste
ton is within $50 feet Of the grain
and, should a bad wind arse. it is
thought that there would be great
deal Of danger. The main street and
business section OF the town is also
only 200 feet away. Should any OF
these places catch fire there will be
no chance whatever Of extinsuish!r
the fire, as the town pumps have gone
dry
1t is almost impossible TO stop the
fire in the grain. The smoke which
arises from this is so suffocatins as
to make shoveiing sand there impos-
sibie
A good share of this grain that Is
burning is this years grain, as the
managers of the elevator had COM
menced loading this years supply the
first of last week This indicates that
locality is somewhat ahead Of this VI
cinlty. AS near as could be learned
absolutely no new grain had been
shipped here last week.
