THE BILL OF PARTICULARS

The Muha exposure will make politics of the last four
years transparent. Men will understand the fight made
Cannon and his organization and the contest undertaken to rid
the republican party of its bad management.
The effort was to put end to congressional practices
such Muha describes in detail and to eliminate such nfu
that of the National Manufacturers Association from
lawmakng and law enforcement.
The the progessives hammered the Muhal
had his lists the who willing have quiet little
talks with him, who than willing to have him bring
satche full of money into their districts who yelled for it
when they didn't get it, who expected to receive orders from
their subsdzer and who expected to obey them when
given
These men, attacked replied in the manner of their kind
damned the rascas who would destroy the institutions the
country wept with emotion when they spoke of the ciouness
Of these assaults free institutions and full of
platitudes and hypocrisy melon is of seeds.
Mulhas story the bill of particulars against these
what they did, gives congressional biographies
with facts The offenders not all republicans Politics of
this sort does not draw party lines but the power then
republicans and like Muhall and who employ
men like Mulhall deal with men in power.
The fight of last year took them out of power. Muhal
makes the necessity of that fight transparent

conundrums.
In the meantime shall await with considerable interest

The Steady Subscriber

How dear to our heart is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year;
Who lays down his money and does
it quite gladly,
And casts round the office balo
of cheer.
He never says, stop it; I cannot af-
ford it,
I'm getting more papers than now
l can read"
But always says, "Send it; our peo-
pie all like it
In fact we all think it help and a
need"
How welcome his check when it
reachs our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse throb ;
makes our heart dance.
We outwardly thank him; we inward
ly bless bim-

A Medal for Some Bright
Boy or Girl

A gold medal to the school
boy or girl between the
ages of 10 and Is who
writes the best composition,
not to exceed 500 words, on
the repair and maintanence
of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller
Page, Director, Office ofPub'
lie Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c. All COM
POSITIONS must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May 10
1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter
as the compositions can be
graded. The composition
may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations
should be made.
After many years exper-
ience in dealing with the pub
lie road situation of the
country, it is Mr.. Pages be-
lief that ignorance on the
subject OF repair and main.
tenance of roads is as much
the cause of their bad condi-
tion as any other one factor.
1t is expected that the CON-
petition will bring about a
better understanding of the
subject of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the
rural districts have exper-
fenced the disadvantages OF
roads made impassable
through a lack OF proper
maintenance and it is expect
ed that their interest in the
competition will stimulate
greater interest among the
parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children
from obtaining a proper ed
ucation and have even pre-
vented doctors from reach
ing the side of rural patients
in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned, attending a
country school, may COM
pete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on;
each page should be number
ed; the name, age and ad-
dress of the writer, and the
name and location OF the
school which he or she is at
tending must be plainly writ
ten at the top of the first
page. The announcement
of the competition has been
sent to the superintendent
OF schools in the rural dis.
tricts. No further informa-
tion can be obtained from
the office of public roads.
This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and all
chlldrean will thus start on
a basis of equality.
