McAdam was born in 1856. While
vet a schoolboy attending the parish

Of his future emnenee as roadmaket
by constructing a model section of the
road between Maybole and Kirkswold
His father having died when McAdam
was young he came to America to bt

1t Is really refreshing after the FLOOD
OF demagog ranting against corpora

fects that must follow from causes.
Senator George Sutherland Of Utah
has been doing good service FOR MS

Senator Sutherland is philosophic
way points out the working Of the OPP
posing forces of liberty and authority
Too much liberty degenerates into an
archy. and too much authority ends In
despotism. He finds that we are coming
to new doctrine TO the effect that
whatever can be done by the govern
ment, even though II be badly done
should not be permitted to the citizen.
As nroof of this tendency Senator
Sutherland says that During the iast
ave years the various law making bod
lev of the states and nation have en-
acted between sixty and seventy thou
sand separate laws, rs per cent OF
which are either wholly bad or Who.iy
useless or wholly unnecessary. AS eX-
ample he refers to laws prescribing
saven foot sheets for hotel beds IN
some western states while In others
anything less than nine-foot shee's
&c criminal. AS to the result from this
kind of fool legislation he says
1--WE are creating an army OF ofhciai
agents, government bureaus ana all
sorts of commissions TO pry into oui
nriyate affairs, smell out our short
eomings and tell us what we may
and what we may not do, In the
meantime the cost of living goe'
steadily up, governmental expendi'
tures increase. taxes grow heavier

But as I walked around,
Some old blind tigers ! could spy
Where whiskey could be found.
I entered one and asked for booze,
The keeper said to me:
Just look around and You can choose
Your brand from what you see"
looked around, and there I found
Train oil and japalac,
Carbolic acid, liquid glue,
Wood alcohol, shelIac,
Strong turpentine and lizard stew,
All for two bits a crack.

But when you take your drink, get out
