prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Concrete roads have shown
marked increase in popularity during
the past FIVE years, according to the
building specialists OF the U. S.
department of agriculture. In 1909
there were $4,000 square yards of
such roads in the United States, while
for 1914, the amount is estimated as
100000 square yards.
{ The durability of concrete roads has
not been proved by actual practice be-
cause there are no very old pavements
as yet in existence, but from the condi-
ton of those which have undergone
several years service, it seems prob
able that they will be found to wear
well.
The principal advantages OF con-
crete pavements which have led to
their increased popularity are:
Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions.
A smooth, even surface offering lit
tie resistance.
Absence of dust and ease with
which il may be cleaned.
Comparatively small cost of main
tenance until renewals are necessary.
Availability as a base for another
type of surface If desirable.
Attractive appearance.
On the other hand, concrete as a
road surface is noisy under horse
traffic, and has a tendency to crack.
Unless these cracks are cared for at
once, they lead to rapid deterioration
of the adjacent pavement and finally
require difficult repair work.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tions to a certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with a bitumi-
nous wearing surface. At the pres
ent time, the specialists in the de-
ment of agriculture hold that this
cannot be economically justified, al
though il is possible that future inves-
tigation may change the situation in
this respect. In the present state OF
road science, however, it seems that
where traffic conditions are such that
bituminous surface on a concrete
road is practicable, a bituminous sur.
face macadam road would b. equally
practicable and certainly cheaper
Where traffic which is too heavy for
macadam road uses bituminous con
crete road, the bituminous surface is
likely TO give way and the uneven
manner in which it fails tends to pro
duce excessive wear on portions OF
the concrete. For a successful con
crete road, hardness. toughness. and
uniformity are the most essential quail
tiles. These can be secured TO @
great extent by care in the selection
OF the constituent materials and the
proportions in which they are mixed

STAMP TAX.

We hear some people grumbling
because of the stamp tax. Bless
your poor puny soul, don't you know
you have to pay taxes to support the
government? If you don't pay 1T in
one way you must pay it in another
and the idiot that doesn't know that
much ought to be bored for the sim
pies.
Such people think it all right if
some one slips up on them in the
dark with a big high tariff and
makes them pay it when they don't
know it. In one sense this stamp tax
is the most just tax that can be lev
led. The men who do the business
and are able to pay are the ones
that pay it. The poor men who have
no business are exempt, but high
tariff tax falls on this class of men
the heaviest They must live and
have clothes and they will pay more
in proportion than the rich man does
which is unjust.
When you find this kind of a
kicker, just scratch him under the
hide and you will find him a repub-
lican, who wants something to growl
about. He can't kick on the price of
wheat, corn and oats, but he must
just kick about something. Let the
poor simp alone.-Mt. Ayr Journal.

THE FALL OF AN ANGEL.

1t appears that it was not unit
1914 that William Barnes fell, like
Lucifer from Heaven. Up to thai
time the Colonel was confident thai
Barnes has 1.-The root of righteous
ness in him" Then came the down
fall.
AS the Colonel expressed it yes
terday in response to one OF MT
WINS questions:
Until 1910 ! hoped that we
would get the DR.. JekyI side OF ms
character, and it was not until lS1l
that I felt it hopeless and became
convinced that we had got only the
Mr.. Hyde side.'
1t is worth remarking that 1910
was the year when Barnes quarrel
led with the Colonel over bossing OF
the republican state convention, a
Job which the Colonel succeeded in
Selling. That was the year that the
Colonel appointed "Our Harry as
the republican candidate for COVER
nor, to the great benefit and profit
of that eminent authority on the
law of contracts, the Hon. Chas. r.
Murphy. Nevertheless, in spite OF
this break in the intimate political
relations of twelve years, the light
held out to burn and the vilest sin
ner might have returned if he had
had a spark of the saving grace. But
then came 1911.
That was the year that Barnes
cast in his political for
tunes with William H. Taft and be-
gan preparations to bump the third
term. Barnes might have been saw
ed if he had not committed this ul-
innate sin. Indeed, not only saved
but translated from a boss into a
leader, even as Bill Finn was trans
lated. Instead, Barnes refused to
hit the sawdust trail and went with
the sons of Beliah who worshipped
the Taft mammon of unrighteous-
ness.
There have been few sadder stor-
les than the Colonels story of the
downfall of promising and virtu-
GUS young man who kicked over the
third cup of coffee because 1.-The root
Of righteousness was not in him,
and was therefore cast out. In think
ing of it the Colonel must be more
and more astonished at the modera-
ton of his language. Billy Sunday
is the only man with a vocabulary
adequate to describe such iniquity

Ollie James Asks the Standpatters
Some Leading Questions.

Uncle Joe Cannon and republican
floor leader Mann, who are doing a
whole opera in calamity bowling,
hushed their chorus the other day
when Kentucky's great democrat,
Ollie James, asked them these peril
nent questions in response to their
objections to President Wilson S
constructive program:
Cd Will they (the republicans)
pledge themselves to repeal the fed
eral reserve bank act?
CD Will they revise the tariff up
ward again?
CD Will they repeal the federal
trade commission act and the COM
panion regulatory measures?
They have not answered yet--and
they never will-these apostles of
calamity dare not.

1t is peculiar-until one reflects
that some newspapers are printing
one sort of a story of the libel suit
of Teddy the Noisy, and other news
papers are printing another story
almost opposite in meaning-and
both of these stories are supposed to
come from the Associated Press.
The fact is that the kind of story
that suits the politics and views of
the editor is what he gets-and this
too from court room. Funny, isn't

F BULLARD WAS BOSS HE GETS CREDIT FOR
 FINANCING THE FAIR

In view or the statement of Fair Commissioner Woods in Sundays Re- publican laying the blame for delay on Automobile Day on the A. A. A. | officials and myself l deem it neces- sary to make some explanation. A 1 15O-mile race upon a one mile dirt | track is always dangerous. To have put any less water on the track than we did would have endangered the lives of the drivers and the lives of hundreds of spectators. To have started the race until the surface of the track had dried would also have endangered the lives of both drivers and spectators. To have allowed the race to continue ten minutes more than it did would probably have re- suited in the death of one or more drivers and several spectators. Dick HoIIingsworth worked until three o'clock in the morning without com pensation to try and get the track into condition for the race under con ditions that would be safe for the drivers and the public. He has the thanks of myself and of every person interested in automobile races whether his efforts are appreciated elsewhere or not.
 l am sorry for the delays that oc cured but accept full responsibility therefor and do not regret the same as long as human lives were saved.
