alone ate, that Insufficient funds are
provided unless an objectionab1y
heavy tax IS levied, progress is slow,
the gradually increasing demands FOR
maintainance retarded new construc-
ton, the public complains Z because
roads are not improved fast enough,
and the taxpayers Of today are paying
for benefits to the cost Of which tax
payers Of the future should contrib
ute. The objection to construction
solely by bond issues, Mr.. Mclean
says, is that the taxpayers of the fu-
ture may be- called upon to pay in
part for the benefits which they do
not receive, while a considerable in
terest charge must be met. The i'm
mediate improvement Of tn roads is
attained with so little additional tax
alton that subsequent town boards
fear popular opposition to levying a
reasonable annual tax for. mainten-
ance. The course advocated by Mr..
Mclean is to issue bonds for such
work as grading, drainage and du-
rable bridges, which may be consid-
cred of a permanent character. =.

understood. These duties vary wide

the patrol system is well developed
they are the counterpart Of the du-

Bile railway employee, the section
boss. In New Hampshire, for ex-
ample, each patrolman must go over
his section daily, rain or shine, except
on Sundays and legal holidays, un-
less he is in charge of a Gttle-travel-
ed road which does not require such
continuous attention. He has to keep
all culverts and bitches open and free
from observation, to remove all loose
stone and rubbish from the road, to
see that the guard raials are safe and
well painted, and to cut the brush and
weeds on the road sides and on the
inside of all curves. He is the friend
of the motorist because he is the man
whose duty it is to remove broken
glass from the road. In New Hamp-
shire he is specifically required to
nut his entire section in the best pos
sible condition every Saturday, 80
that Sunday travellers may experience
q minimum Of Inconvenience. 1t is his
duty also to put up fences or red
lanterns giving warning of obstruc-
tions, to keep a record of every ac-
cident on his section and to furnish
all possible aid to those who meet
with an accident. He has charge Of
the dragging Of earth and gravel on
roads and the patching Of more du-
rable types. He is also a deputy. fire
warden. With such duties ishould he
not be kept on the roads, if a good
man, regardless Of his politics? The
roads are not democratic, republican
or progressive, but just plain Ameri-
can.

MANANA

Manana, which is Mexican for
"watchful waiting" is the Democratic
keynote in the campaign. The Wilson
drive is to begin sometime" after
September /; but no definite engage
ments have been made, it is an
nounced, for him to commence making
political speeches. He has tentative
engagements to make some Western
visits about the middle of September
but nothing positive. Plans are be-
ing formulated for carrying on a. cam
paign to capture the woman vote of
the country, but who will make the
speeches on this phase of the con-
troversy has not been determined. 1t
had been expected that Mr.. Bryan
would speak In the Maine campaign,
but it is now believed he cannot do
so, but will make some speeches later.
And so it goes. Watchful waiting
will prevail while, in the meantime,

campaign and arousing the entire

Mr.. HUGHES ANSWERS.
Those Who cIamored for His Views
Are Hearing Them.

Those friends of Democracy who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high Office of justice
Of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of O majority Of
the people as expressed through their
instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he Is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces-
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place Of respect and
honor to which 1t is entitled In the
eyes Of the world.

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS
some Very Interesting Facts Gathered
BY Michigan Editor.

Port Huron, Mich.-Louis A. Well,
editor OF the Port Huron Times-Her-
AID, returned recently from a trip to
The Pacific coast. bringing several in
teresting incidents which show that
prohibition is taken very seriously in
Oregon.
They told me-" said Mr.. Well,
that few people in Oregon believed
the lumber camps could be run with
out booze, on account of the wild and
irresponsible nature of the working
men. Since January l it has been
proved that lumber camp in Oregon
not only can retain its full force OF
men under prohibition methods, but
that much greater efficiency and gen.
eral content is the result of saloon
abolition.
"A striking incident in Portland
came to my attention from the social
welfare department. A day nursery
was established some time ago in
which mothers could leave their ba-
bies while they went out to work.
Since prohibition went into effect this
nursery has practically lost it's pat
ronage. The mothers do not have to
work because their husbands now
have jobs.

claiming that this means an increased
consumption of liquor despite the pro.
hiDition victories. But these figures
need to be explained and the explar u
ton fails to prove the liquor tra.fic's
contention, says the American Issue.
First. The Internal Revenue de-
partment admits that at least one-half
of this increase in revenue is due TO
Increased efficiency in collecting.
Second. This revenue is collected
by the government when the liquor
Is withdrawn from the bonded ware
houses, and much has been with.
Grawn during the past year because
the time limit for storage in these
bonded warehouses had expired.
Third. Withdrawal from bond and
the payment Of the government tax
Is never proof that the liquor has
been consumed. 1t is often withdrawn
because of time expiration and placed
In private warehouses, much of it is
shipped abroad, much is used in the
arts and sciences. The National Liq-
uor Dealers Journal of July II, 1916,
on page 8, says: Withdrawal from
bond may not mean increased con-
sumption"
Fourth. The fact must also be
borne in mind that since the opening
of the European War many of our
6istilleries have been kept busy dis
filling spirits to be used in making
high explosives. Tens of thousands OF
barrels have been shipped to Europe
and blown into the air, and not con-
sumed here as a beverage. This in
creased production the liquor traffic
would have us believe means an in
creased consumption. Do not be de-
:eived.
Fifth. Midas Criterion, the great
iistillers' organ, recently sent out a
blind ballot to the distillers, asking
q vote as to whether or not they be-
Iieved In a curtailment of the amount
Of liquor to be distilled during the
next year and 100 voted for produc.
ing a smaller amount and FL voted
against It; thus "a per cent Of the
distillers believe it is poor business
policy not to curtail the production
Of distilled liquors.
Would these distillers favor q small
Or output II the demand for their

In this country is decreasing, and how
the amount consumed Is largely di.
minished.
A perusal OF the liquor journals of
the nation reveals the fact that the
liquor trade is bad and growing worse,
and liquor stock is low. Prohibition
Is really prohibiting and rapidly les
