now condition exists that is exactly
opposite to that OF a few years ago;
instead of men wanting road work or
the Job of overseeing, 1t is now quite
an impossible job to get farmers To
do anything at all with road work, at
least at a season of the year when
road work should be done.
The average farmer has always been
rather a poor road builder. not be-
cause he may have lacked the knowl-
edge of how to put up a good grade
or build a good culvert, but because
he has always made road work sec
ondary to his own work on the farm
The farmer, if he has worked for any
considerable length of time building
or repairing grades, has always put
that work off until there should come
a slack time in farm worlY We al
know such a time never comes on the
farm until after harvest or until well
on into the fall. 1t is then case of
hurry to get the work done before
farm work calls the help in. So as long
as farmers have built roads and as
long as they ever will it has and will
be case of doing good to the roads
when there is no good to be done on
the farm. Instead of being treated in
secondary manner, the people of this
day realize that the roads are impor-
tant enough to be treated with the
first consideration of good men who
put in all their time and best talent
to that work alone.
The farmer as a road builder Is
better situated than anyone else,
however. to perform one part of road
building, a part which is most i'm
portant after grade has once been
put up. This is road dragging. 1t Is
most fortunate that road dragging
should be done just at time when
the farmer has the time in which to
do it, a little before the fields have
dried enough so work in them can be

where road dragging is done or should
be done ought to be allowed to work
out his poll tax, at least, by dragging
the roads. a great many road officers
are now hiring farmers to drag certain
roads, allowing them pay by the hour
or by the mile, and in this way more
good is obtained from the road money
than in any other, and the farmers
are able to do the work and do 1t
at the exact time when it needs to be
done.
The farmer as n road builder can
not expect to be the success that a
road builder should be because he
cannot afford to neglect his own work
to build grades and culverts when
such work should be done, but as a
road maintainer he certainly Is a
success when armed with a raod drag.
Hereafter, the work OF putting up the
grades and building the culverts
should be kept in special hands for
that work, while the farmer will find
his Mace TO fill i'm maintaining the
grades that have been built by a per-
sistent use of the road drag, Tor which
work he should, of course. be paid.

Among the office holders who support

no charge Of unfair methods could be
brought. Hon. NJ l.. Heavrdn, who was
chairman of the Fourth Congressional
District and post master at Hartford'in
calling the convention to order at tliiza-
bethtown, was required to pass upon tw
contested delegations in the preliminary
organization, one from Breckenridge and
the other from Hardin county, and
both sides complimented him upon the
fairness of his ruling, which was In alb

The results of the primary elections IN
Illinois. PENNSYLVANIA, and other states
have practically eliminated President
Taft as a candidate before the Chicago
Convention. Even before the results
were known in Pennsylvania, his friends
were considering a third candidate. We
predict that very few delegates from nov
on will be instructed for the President
and that Roosevelt will almost sweep
the platter clean. Eliminating the I'M
instructed vote and the contested dele
cations, Col. Roosevelt now leads the
President in delegate votes, and 1t Is
known that much more than one half
of the contested must necessarily be de-
cided in favor, if any consideration what
ever is to be given to justice or fair
ness The race of Col. Roosevelt has
been the most remarkable in the his
tory of the country, and shows the Won
derful personality and magnetism of the
man. Unlike the President he had no
organization to begin with, and no office
holders at his beck and call, holding
down Federal jobs and who felt for
that reason compelled to go the limit,
and sometimes beyond the limit in con-
trolling county and district conventions
When the people are for candidate
it is better for the politicians and office
holders to suffer them to have their
way first than last.
