GOLDEN RULE JONES. -. You
have heard of Sam Jones, Golden
Rule mayor of Toledo. Here's his
Toledo political history in brief. He
was nominated for mayor by Repub-
icans as a dark horse candidate
when the bosses couldn't get together
and were deadlocked in convention.
Once elected, he wouldn't let the
bosses run him or the city. They
didn't renOminate him, but deHber-
ately counted him out when he had
the votes in convention, but not the
convention machinery - especially
the counting machinery. He rebeIed,
got on the stage and said he wouldn't
stand for the coUnt-oUt He ran in
dependently as a nOnpartisan. The
parties were against him, the poll
ticians were against him, the news
papers were against him-as Jones
put it, Everybody is against me but
the people" When the votes were
counted the Democratic candidate
had 8, 1000 votes, the Republican 1000
votes and Jones II 900 votes. He was
reelected every two years until he
died; and then Brand Whitlock was
elected as the same kind Of indepen-
dent for four successive terms. The
people learned that it was easier to
beat both Of the old parties with an
independent movement than to get
the people together in one Of the old
parties to beat the political crooks
in the other While Jones was mayor
and while Wkt1OCk was mayor the

HEAVY WIND DID
DAMAGE TO FOREST

The heavy wind Of Sunday, Sept.
26th was very unusual, and besides
the damage done to telephone lines, etc
which was perfectly evident to every
one, it did much damage in the forest.
Young stands on fairly deep soil suf-
fered little, but several Of the groups
of timber, which escaped the fire in
the old burn on Camel's Hump, were
damaged, and young stands left I'M
protected by recent logging opera
tions in this region were laid fiat.
A tract near Putnamville, owned
by c. c. Putnam & Son, has been
marked by the State Forestry De-
partment and only the marked
trees are being cut. The Assistant
State Forester in charge of this work
has been over the tract since this
storm and made several interesting
observations. He found that there
were some windfalls on areas where
the cutting had been completed. In
volume, however, these would amount
to much less than the volume Of wind
falls and breakage in that part Of the
stand where no cutting had been done.
In no case were the windfalls on these
areas so great as to make larger open
ings than will be reproduced natural
ly. Where the stand had been mark
ed, but cutting not completed, it was
almost always the marked trees which
were broken or uprooted. In spruce
stands towards the top Of the noun
tain where the Forester anticipated
danger Of windfalls. and guarded
against it by properly shaped groups,
very little windfall was found. Con-
sidering that this wind was so much
heavier than the average the Forester
in charge was gratified to find the
tract in as good shape.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1915-10-07

Millians had been spent IN improving
roads. Yet few more summers OF
motor travel seemed likely to ruin
these costly surfaces. A stone road
with the filling all ripped out is worse
than the original sand or clay.
For number Of years road makers
have been binding road surface with
various forms OF asphaltic, tarry, and
bituminous oils, Better results are
constantly being secured in this way.
1t is remarked that the principal les
son Of this years highway experience
is the value Of the oiled road.
A road expert said short time ago
that the country districts should re-
alize that oil is the cheapest form Of
maintenance. Not merely does il pro-
tect the surface against the grind Of
motor tires. 1t also holds il down
through storms. Heavy rains former
ly meant enormous expenditures for
reconstruction. But they run off
well oiled road like water Off the ira
ditional ducks back.
The curse Of road work in this
country has been the tendency to make
temporary repairs and neglect per-
manent work. This is particularly
true in sparcely settled districts where
funds are scarce. The road officers
must please the voters by the best
possible showing on small appropri-
alton. The temptation is strong TO
scratch over the surface and heap up
muck from the cutters. They may
impress the voters for the time being.
But it goes to pieces under protracted
rains or under few months motor
travel.
Any town or county that has money
enough to build any roads at all, has
money enough to save what it builds
with oil preparations. Building an
unprotected road to-day merely deep
ems the poverty Of poor community.
II is spending money for work that
will very soon have to be done over
again.-Rutland Evening News.

er current and are only quoted at one
half on one percent. Severino, poor
boy had 5000 in Villa money saved up
and about $3.50 owing him by the
villistas when they left. 1t was all a
total loss and he started for Monterey
this morning to see his young wife
whom he hasn't seen nor been able TO
send penny to since May, with one
American dollar in his pocket which
gave him, and the clothes on his back
nothing more--and he has worked
steadily most Of the time at wages
varying from SIS to $3.50 day lin
Villa currency. He was thoroughly
discouraged and sympathized with
him. He once gave Lola 500 for his
share Of the house expenses, and it
lasted trihe over three days. Men
of his class wish peace, but the thieves
and rascals that profess to love their
country are still bowling for war.
Life is no as monotonous at pres
ent as you might suppose, as the dis
orders on the lower Rio Grande, caus-
ed by Mexican outlaws and deserters,
are keeping US here constantly on the
qui vive. We don't know when we may
be attacked here, by the element who
are taught by their superiors to hate
the gringos and look on them as their
worst enemies.
The danger of being taken in by
rowing bands Of outlaws who would
kill an American on general prin-
ciples, keeps me in town, when l
should like to go out in the country
and get little game and fish for our
larder.
1t has been raining off and on for
several days. When the weather is
i1ore favorable | think III take a
chance anyway, outlaws, or no out
laws, and try to get some fresh veni-
son or wild turkey and some fish.
A sneak thief got into the house
few days ago and stole the alarm
clock--we don't miss is much, as we
are sufficiently alarmed at the situa-
ton.
He was arrested and jailed within
an hour after making his raid, but
lawyerlike, denied everything and de-
manded proof. We didn't recover the
clock, but his character was enough to
ensure two or three months term on
the street-cleaning gang, where he is
at present.
