PENROSE FIGHTS TO
HOLD SENATE SEAT
Can Pull Wires No Longer, But
Must Carry His Candidacy
Direct to the People.

Senator Boies Penrose has just re-
turned to Washington after travelling
to and fro and UP and down over the
great State of Pennsylvania trying to
convince the people that he ought to be
returned to the United States Senate.
BY reason Of his failure to perceive
the drift of things betimes and get on
the progressive cart in season, Senator
Penrose is confronted with the battle OF
his life. 1t is doubtful whether he will
be returned to the Senate. However,
Senator Penrose Is no mollycoddle He
can fight, and fight hard. and he has
set out to do II. In the almost two
decades he has been In the Senate he
has never had to make a fight for re-
election. II has been simply a matter
of pulling wires. But now, there is a
direct election amendment to the Con-
stitution, and more than this, a State
wide primary bill has been passed in
Pennsylvania. and a non-psrtisan ballot
bill will become law.
Under such circumstances. Senator
Penrose has to take his case TO the
plain people, and he has set out to take
II. The struggle which is already on
in the keystone State will attract pub
lie attention all the way from Maine to
California.
makes SPeeCneS Olten NOW.
Senator Penrose used to sit in the Sem
ate dumb as an oyster. But that day is
gone by. Now he oftentimes breaks out
into speech, and he is becoming known
as a forceful talker. Those who have
thought of Penrose merely as a ma
chine boss and representative Of the
views OF the special interests in the
Senate had forgotten that he was a man
I'LL
has not always had to bring his real
qualities into play, but he can make an
able speech on occasion. and he is going
to have to make many Of them II he
gets back to the Senate.
Penrose has been out on the stump for
the last six weeks in his State. He has
been going at his opponents in charac-
teristic fashion. The other day he had a
big meeting at Erie. with an audience
of 5000 people. He went into the Scran-
ton region, and there the Progressives
got bigger meetings than he. Now he
Is going back and try conclusions with
them once more. That is. he will as
soon as he can get away from the tariff
debate
Attacking Tariff Bill.
Senator Penrose is assailing the DEM
ocrstic tariff bill. and making numerous
objections to the pending measure. This
alone gets him good audiences in Penn
sylvania. But he also IL talking
progress. He has become one of the
most eminent exponents Of progressive
principles.
The old guard Republicans. led by
Penrose and Oliver, are fighting for
their political lives in Pennsylvania.
The first great test will come in Sep
tember when the mayoralty contest in
Pittsburgh comes up. 1t will be bat
tie Of the giants, with the Magee-Flinn
crowd on one side and the Penrose
Oliver crowd on the other. Each side
Is grooming candidates. and much de-
pends on the outcome. Should Pen
rose win there he will stand a good
show to come back to the Senate. II
his forces are beaten In Pittsburgh ii
will be a smashing blow to his can
didacy.

good. strong pair OF horses with a
well.bullt drag can drag about 3 or !
miles OF road in q day, and it Is the
hest way 10 maintain good roads. In
every county some farmer along each
/ miles OF road should own a drag II

Owing 10 the fact that many rural
schools were closed at the time when
the prize maintenance essay was an
nounced by Director Logan Waller
Page of the Office OF Public Roads, II
has been decided 10 extend the limit
for receiving the essays TO October To-
1913. In addition to the gold medal
given as first prize, two silver medals
will be given as second and third
Drizes. If a child who has submitted
one essay previous to the issue of this
notice should care to try again, he is
a liberty to do so, but he must be a
pupil of a rural school. There is some
misunderstanding in regard to the sub
iect of the essay. The idea is to SET
the children thinking how to better
their earth roads with the materia
they have at hand.

drag the road and are hItched 10 i
chain fastened to the front half OF the
log. The road drag should nov Tor
ward so that it slants across the ROAD
in such a way that a small amoant OF
earth will slide past the smooth race
of the log toward the center or the
road, thus forming the crown. The
edges of the logs will smooth out the
ruts. The best way to drag is to be-
gin at the side ditch and 90 up one
side Of the road, and then down the
other. In the next trip the drag should
be started a little nearer the center
and the last trip owe the road the
drag may work close to the center
itself. Small ridges Of earth VIII be
thrown in the horse track and smear
ed by the round side of the log smooth
" over the road. The smeaTing OF
the earth by the drag is called "pud-
ding" and it tends to make the sur
face of the road smooth and water
tight after the sun comes out. The
road is always dragged after it has
rained and not when it is dry. A

like a railroad embankment across
such low land and made with a crown
it would be dry and hard. Sometimes
a road passes through what is called a
cut. This is a place where the earth
has been dug out so that the road can
90 over a hill without being too steep.
The water which always flows quietly
under the ground on hillsides is known
as ground water. In road cuts such
water sometimes makes the road very
muddy, and the road then needs what
road builders call underdrainage. A
good kind Of underdrainage is a trench
to go along under the side drain and
about 8 feet deep and a foot and a
half wide. In this trench a nine Is

loose stones no bigger than an egg.

stop among the stones and flow down
the hill through the pipe.
To keep a road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag it with a
road drag. A road drag is made easily
with two halves of a log which has
been split. The log should be about 6
or s inches in thickness and about G
or s feet long. The two halves of the

THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
OF EARTH ROADS

If you look at the ordinary country
road after a shower you will see small
puddles along the wheel ruts and some
times larger pools. This water stays
on the road surface because it cannot
drain away into the side bitches. If
you look closely you will see side
bitches 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 travelled
way the road should be raised in the
center and should slope gently into
broad shallow bitches. 1t is then said
to have a crown. II 1t Is 10 feet from
the center Of the road to the side
ditch, the surface at the side ditch
should be at least 10 inches lower
than 1t Is at the center where the
horses travel. The road then has a
10-inch crown. The rain that falls on
a road properly crowned will run
quickly to the side and not soak into
the surface or form pools. The side
bitches for surface water should run
parallel to the right Of way, and should
be open at every low point so that the
water al run out of them into neigh
boring brooks or streams. II the
bitches merely collect the water from
the read surface and It can not run
away, large pools will be formed along
the roadside. which will gradually soak
into the soil beneath the road and
make it so soft that the wheels Of
wagons will cut through the road sur
face and soon destroy 1t.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road and forms
q little stream down the wheel tracks
or in the middle where the horses
travel. When driveways into farm
yards are built o the side bitches
they frequently form channels for
water from the farm yard to run into
the road. The pipes under driveways
become illed with leaves or rubbish
and the water can no longer run away.
II the driveways that stop the ditch
water were rebuilt so that no pipes
were necessary and the ditch could
be left open. much trouble from sur
lace water would be stopped.
Sometimes . road runs across low
ground or through Z swamp where the
Tread can not be drained by side bitches
naons. II the road were built higher
