Paid Great Tribute

The success with which Senator
Borah assaulted the president was
testified by the reception given him
in the senate while he was speaking
and when he concluded, and by the
notices his speech received through
out the press Of the country. Sena-
tor Borah spoke without notice, he
did not wen prepare his remarks in
advance for the newspapers; in fact
he spoke without text AMI without
notes. Before he had progressed far
he found a wellflled senate listening
to his criticism of the Wilson admin
istration and for the first time in
several years he found crowded gal
leries following his every word. OF
late senate speeches have been dull
and prolix as a rule and few senators
have commanded more than ordinary
attention. Senator Borah had the
most ~fattering audience that has been
given any senator in four years and
the ovation that greeted him when
he concluded his attack upon the adj
ministration has never been excell-
ed on the floor of the senate. Every
big eastern newspaper devoted at
least two and some of them three,
columns to his speech and the editor
ial comment that followed was most
f1attering to the senator and to his
friends.

FaVOrlte i'm Senate

If the Republicans of the United
States senate were to pick the Re-
publican nominee for president in
1915 there is nc doubt, since the
Borah speech, as to who would be
chosen. The n man deemed best
fitted to make answer to President
Wilson to the first choice of his col
leagues for presidential honors in
1915. Many Republican senator's have
been frank enough to declare their
preference for Senator Borah; most
Republican senators admit, when
questioned, that the Idaho senator,
as a result Of his reply to President
Wilson and because of his demon
strated fitness, must be reckoned
with when the next Republican ma
tional convention assemblies.
There are many presidential con-
didates in the field; some who have
entere. the race, and others who have
been brought forward by their
friends. But among the number,
none has yet appeared who has equal
support in both wings of the Republi-
can party. And it is acknowledged
that the man nominated in 1916 must
be a Republican who can lead a re-
united party to the polls in Novem-
Der of that year. That qualification
will bar a majority of those who
have thus far been mentioned, and
among those who can command sup-|
port in both camps, all must be con-
along with Senator Borah.

Slight Scare
Deputy County Clerk Fred Fisher
called the attention of the board to
the fact that the vaults in the audi
tors office had lath and plaster cell
ings, and that if there was no steel
or cement work above that, both
vaults were a sham. Soundings were
Immediately taken and it was found
thai above the lath and plaster there
was an air space of about eight
inches and aboev that was metal or
cement or both. The foundations
we're then investigated, and it was
found to be on a solid base of
masonry.

Chairman McCombs OF the Demo.

saying that "thc majority OF the Pro-

Democratic party in 1916" Where Nj.

Is mystery. Excepting that they were
both determined to defeat the Republl-
can party In 1912 there was little point
OF agreement between the Democrats
and Progressives. says the Plttsburg
Gazette Times. On paramount issues
they were about as divergent as they
well could be. From the time the
Wilson administration and the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress had been
In control long enough to demonstrate
their incapacity leading Progressivcs

have been harsh in their criticism IL

Road Organization.


The question of road improvement
calls for organization. Organization
that will produce efficiency can be had
and should be had in every county.
The work should be under one head
and that person should know daily
what is being done. how much is being
expended, where the work is being
executed, the number of laborers and
teams employed and the amount and
kind OF material used as well as the
cost of each.
II is one thing to get an accounting
for funds expended and another to get
the maximum results which should
be the aim Of every person interested
in the betterment of the roads OF the
state. The Ohio county road depart
ment is very efficient and the results
in that county show the value of such
a movement. Every morning q report
in the county is placed In the hands of
the board of commissioners. A tabu-
lated list of the amount expended and
the balance in each fund is kept before
the commissioners. Each member OF
the board has in his pocket a statement
showing the condition of every fund
in the entire county and the amount
appropriated to each piece Of work.
Mcdowell county has a good organiza-
tion. and few other counties have
placed their road work under modern
business systems. Under new law
chapter SIS. acts 1915, officials that
are following the old haphazard way
OF giving orders and letting the road
business of the county drift. are TAX
ing very great risk. All road officials
should read that act and get bulletin
IL. Of the state road bureau, which
prescribes forms for road system.

What Issue Will Re.

Did single American workman lose
his job because of the Mckinley tariff.
the Dingley tariff. the Payne-Aldrich
tariff? Did business losses take the
place OF profits, and did everyone suf-
fer? No! Not single workman lost
his job, but in the aggregate some mil
lions of workmen found jobs directly
because Of those tariffs. Profits took
the place Of losses inflicted by free
trade tariff. and every man. woman and
child in the United States has been
benefited by everyone OF the revisions
OF the tariff along protective lines in
the last thirty years. Two tariffs re-
vised along free-trade lines-the Will
son-Gorman tariff of 1894 and the
Underwood tariff of 1913-these, and
these alone, are the tariffs that have
caused business decentralization, have
thrown millions of men out of employ
ment, and have created uncertainty.
