THE LOBBYIST SHOULD BE KNOWN.


 A witness reached by the lobby probe has told that he represents twenty-two railroads at Washington. His business is to find bills affecting those railroads and tell his clients his opinion of them The gentleman uses the word clients advsedly. Tho relation between him and his employ CTS is much the same as that between tho lawyer and his client The con, pressionaI committee which has charge of the bill occupies the posi- ton of a court. The railroads repre- tentative appears before that commit. tee and argues say, for the amend ment or elimination of the objection able provisions. his occupation is hon orable SO long as it is honorably conducted. says the Republic.
 We all subscribe 10 the proposition of a mans right to his day in court That right is as valid in the matter Of legislation as in civil or criminal issues. And as we employ attorneys to represent US in litigation so we may employ them to represent us in legislation. But the representative so employed should have definite stand. ing. just as the attorney in course of record must be an accredited memter of the bar. And the same circumspec- ton which governs the relations be tween the court and the attoThey should obtain between the cohgres- sional committee and the representa- tive who appears before it either for or against a pending bill
 It would surely he ind;sereet for a sudee to be the dinner guest of an attorney trying a case before his court. The judge who accepted such hospitaiity would ,compromise hin. self. The other party to the action would look upon such a social smenity as a suspicious affair.
 There are always two parties 10 pending legislative measure-the in terest whose activity the bill purposes to curtau; the people in whose be .Isif the bin has been introduced And tccause the people are always party in intrest they have the right to know the attorney for the opposition. The business of lobbying is a pro ression. It ought to be an honorable profession. To that end all secrecy should be removed. The attorney employed by an interest either foi or against a bill can have no objection 70 that fact being known pFoSplo' there is nothing to conceal in his bur 1 poses or methods.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROADS.

UT ENH n hOHOS.
 The following was sent to the Re- view by the good roads bureau of the UniteI States agricultural department ard the information contained will be O interest to all the good road boost CTS:
 If you look at the ordinary country road after a shower you will see small puddles along the wheel ruts and sometimes larger pools. This water stays on the road surface because it cannot drain away into the sids ditch, es. If you look closely you will sec side ditches which have grown up with bushes and weeds in many cases and which are so far from the travelled part of the road that the rain water does not drain into them. That part Of the roadway where the wagons travel is called the travelled way. To prevent water from standing on the traveled. way the road should be raised in the center and should slope gently into broad shallow ditches. It is then said to have a crown. If it is 10 feet from the center of the road to the side ditch. inc surface at the side dit2h should be at least 10 inches lower than it is at the center where the. horses travel. The road then has q 1O.inch crown. The rain that falls on a road properly crowned win run oIickly to the side and not soak into the surface or form pools. The side ditches for surface water should run parallel to the right of way. and should be open at every low point So that the water can run out of them into neiEhboring brooks or streams. t the ditches merely collect the water. from the road surface and it can not run away, large pools will be formed along th roadside, which will gradual Iy soak into the soil beneath the road and make it so soft that the wheels will cut through the road surface and soon destroy it.
 Sometimes water runs from land along the road into the road and forms little stream down the wheel tracks CT in the middle where the horses travel. When dTiveways into farm yards are built across the side ditches they fequently form channels Tor water from the farm yard to run into the road. The pipes under drive. ways become filled with leaves or rub bish and the water can no longer run away. IT the drivev avs that stop the ditch water were rebuilt so that no pipes were nscessay and the ditch could be left open. much trouble from surface water would be stopped

The tvo halves O. the log are set feet apart with the cmooth faces forward and upright They are then fastened together with braces set in holes bored through the log.

Growing young pigs can be truth
fully termed detail work. The man
who is a good pig grower must like
the work and be willing to look after
the many details that demand atten-
ton, and it will pay and pay big re-
turns. <
Some think that the breeding and
growing of hogs is a crowded occu-
patton; but there is always room for
the best breeders and the best feed
ers at the top, even though the bust
ness is crowded by the average class
of swine growers.
No hog farm equipment is complete
without a good dipping vat. and 1t
should be used frequently during the
summer and early fall.
There is no one thing that will do
more to maintain health in the herd
than the judicious use of the dipping
vat. =. =
1t is far better to underfeed than to
overfeed the sow after she has farrow-

1t is better for the SOW if the yards
are so arranged that she can go a
few rods for her feed and drink.
Stock that is raised for breeding
purposes and stock that is raised for

If we feed for pork there is a lack
of bone, muscle and constitution in
our breeding stock.
Darkness always deteriorates the
general health of the herd and makes
it possible to have corners and other
places where filth accumulates. Light

WROUGHT A MIRACLE

BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.
I'm afraid we are going to lose
our money, Abner'
Il hope not, Jary; think not.
When we decided to go into this
business we agreed to stay by it to
the last. 1t is a long way from a
failure"

anxiety and slow worry is wearing
you down."
"The only mistake we made was
that we calculated on too little capt.

meritorious entertainment, and-we
are bound to win."
It was a peculiar position in which
the Vances found themselves. Two
months previously they had sold out
a little general store business that
had given them bare living for
twenty years and enabled them to
give their only daughter, Helen, an
excellent musical education.
A relative in the south had been
the cause of sudden determination
on the part of these worthy, credu-
lous people that had altered the whole
current of their lives. He was some
thing of plunger and Spectator,
with the motto: Get in first on the

investment in motion picture show
and was fast acquiring a fortune.

cided Mr.. Vance. I'll learn how to
operate the films, you can take In the
tickets and Helen-why, with her
lovely voice and fine piano playing,
she'd be half the show"
So pride and novelty carried the
Vances away from their usual sober
judgment and here they were now,
discussing the results as proprietors
of the Palace" photo playhouse at
Maiden.
They found poor, cheap motion
picture show in the town when they
started in, but it catered to a second
class clientele. There was vacant

worry you, IL you are resolute to work
and reform" said Abner Vance in his
blunt, practical way. CAS- to being
homeless, you are welcome here till
you are better and we will be your
friends if you will let us"
In a strange, subdued manner, the
young man grew into their family and
business lives. They fixed UP room
for him behind the playhouse stage
and when he got SO he could move
around on crutches placed him In
charge of the little ticket booth.
Adrian Noble would set his eyes
fixed upon Helen as she practiced the
music for the entertainments. He
rarely spoke to her, yet when she
was away from the family group he
would watch the door restlessly tor
her temperance.
When he could get around more
freely, Noble began to take a rare
interest in the business. He suggest
ed improvements in the character of
the films, he was the distributor of
some unique advertising that brought
in the audiences. He invented a
"noise piano." as he called it, placed
behind the stage. AS the protector
threw scenes upon the screen, he gave
a vivid accompaniment that fairly
electrified the audiences.
Thus: a horse trotting. railroad

wagon, blacksmith's anvil-by
means of wooden, metal and whistle
accessories, timed just right. he illus
trated the motion pictures in a new
way.
With brighter business prospects,
Mr.. Vance still longed for the big hall
In the center OF the town. He talked
about 1t necessarily and it interested
Noble. One day the latter came to
Helen with grave, earnest face.

he asked.
"Certainly-what is it," inquired
Helen. flushing trihe under his clear,
steady gaze.

your hand to inscribe the promise I

Two days later Noble disappeared
mysteriously from the playhouse.
Helen never dreamed she could so
miss him. He walked in upon them

astonished Mr.. Vance.

pledge and truthful, manly story"
replied Noble. HE babe me return

Mrs. Vance was crying in her moth

beamed upon him, and IN their glow

sure promise Of a lasting haven of
love.
