MYSTERY OF STEEL.

Our Modern Civilization 10 Based on .
Freak of Mature.
If it were not for one tiny, cratic
break in natures orderly progression
we should never have had the ma.
chinery that has brought about mod.
ern civilization. For we should not
have had steel. 1t is true we should
have had iron. but pure iron Is almost
useless. 1t is only when a small guam
dty Of carbon Is added to it that it
becomes hard enough to take a cutting
edge. Then it Is called steel.
Why steel hardens Is an unsolved
problem. The Scientific American re

Mechanical Engineers. delivered by
Professor Arnold, who has for many
years been investigating the chemical
and mechanical relations between iron.

ARE WE A NATION?

Chicago Herald: Congress devotes about seven times as much
time to pork as it does to national interests. By actual count seven
bills of local interest only are introduced to every one of national
importance. :.
An illustration of what this means is seen in House Bil4o9: 1t
was introduced on September 6by Speaker Champ Clark: 1t an-
thori7ed "the secretary Of war to donate to the city Of Esberry: I'm IN
the County of Lincoln, Mo-, two bronze cannon or field pieces, with
their carriages" Elsbe11y is not preparing for war. The field
tive days between DECEMBER 6 and II twenty-one towns expressed
desires for similar ornaments.
Lynn Haine, who is secretary of the National Voters League,
brings out these facts in an impressive article in Harpers Weekly.
During those seven days 4,144 pension bills were INTRODUCED
principally. for the purpose of violating existing laws" All told
5000 political measures were brought to the attention of Congress.
The speaker himself introduced sixty such bills. Clyde I. Taven-
ner of Illinois was sponsor for ~sixty-three. Congressman Sam X.
Sells, of Tennessee has his name attached to 208.
Small wonder, then, that Congress has not enough time for the
greater concerns of all the country. The average congressman,
says Mr.. Haines, "has become little more than an attorney for the
communities and individuals in his district that require or demand
some special service, either in or out of congress"
Some members are naturally above pork barrel methods, but the
system is such that the House as a whole is forced to fritter away
time on matters which have no place at Washington. The Difficult
eress: People in the districts want special fayors. If the repre-
sentative forgets their petty cravings he is not returned.
Furthermore, instead Of having enc budget based on! sound
study, we have from twelve to fifteen separate appropriation bills
every session; Portland patronage are measurable ,n3a such Or o.

A COUNTY FAIR.

We can see no good reason why Ramsey county should not organ
lie and maintain a county fair: Most counties in the state have
without such an Institution. That this county could maintain and
support an annual fair and make it a bowling success there Is not

and benefit to the people of this section, but a real county fair in
the summer would be the proper thing: OF course it is a busy
fair would have to be arranged to best suit the farmers and we be-
lieve that the time would be the latter part of July or the first Of
August. Say have it come in right after our Chautauqua. We
need q county fair and we need it in the summer.

While there is much speculation over who viii be the Republican
nominee for the presidency, let US predict that it will be Theodore
Roosevelt. For the past, few months Roosevelt stock haasbeen
going up, andni it continues until the Chicago convention, the NOM
ination will be- handed him without a struggle. When we look
every important subject confronting the American people, we be-
|ieve that he is right nine times out of ten. He is recognized as a
great man, not only in this country but the world over, and when
we size him up with Wilson, Wilson looks like a pigmy to us. Just
watch the people get behind Roosevelt and push him into the pres
idental chair.
When Senator Fall of New Mexico, a Republican, asked the State
Department for the documents on file regarding Mexico, the infor-
nation was refused on the ground that it was Incompatible with
late and passing Importance. But when Senator Stone of Missouri
"a Democrat, asks for the documents regarding Korea, they are
promptly forthcoming, though the Korean incident was ended years
ago and never was of consequence to the United States.
The fellow who will go down to Bismarck this winter and spend
his time in passing some road building law which will give the peo-
pie value received for the money they spend in road building, will

The next election will result in a Republican majority in Con

In consequence, this Democratic statesman seeks to make ready a

as the Democratic legislators at Washington that the country is
about to dispense with their services: They would like. we do not

OUR ROADS.

80. $50
When we stop to think that this state has over g. 900 az
ailable road and bridge fund each year, and that right here in Ram
sy county we have over $4,000 each year, and then take a glance
about and we see just how little real modern roads we have, can
any one deny that our road building laws are wrong, or else our
!: costs only about $500 a mile to build and complete a modern road: road;
build over 100 miles of up-to-date road. And yet we doubt II we
can find rs miles of modern road inthe whole county, and we have
been spending money and building roads for over thirty years. I'm
til we get some different system of road building we are wasting
thousands of dollars every year.
A. E. DiImont, trade statistician says in a recent bulletin that

products to Argentina in the sum of about $5,6OO,OO0; texgaes'
kaps. etc. to the value of about $8,0OOl 900; boots and shoes $780,
900: glassware, etc, $85O,O00. He says that the products which

THREE HOUSES PLANNED
Artistic Group to Be Erected by
A. C. Moses in Chevy
Chase, D. C.


With a view of obtaining a good
grouping A. e. Moses has had plans
prepared for several detached houses to
be built on Keokuk street. block and
half west of Connecticut avenue,
Chevy Chase, u. G. Frank Upham is
the architect.
Two of the houses are to be of the
Spanish mission type of architecture
with red tile roofs and rough cast
white stucco walls The center house
of the group is to be of the simple
colonial type: white and green color
scheme is to predominant.
The interior plans have been prepared
in accordance with ideas for which
Mr.. Moses is responsible. One feature
is back stairway. Although found
in almost every house erected about
twenty years ago. few back stairways
are provided these days. They are
being revived, however. and Mr.. Moses
has decided to include them in his new
houses. Another feature of the in
terror will be an arrangement whereby
two more bedrooms and another
bath may be added to the house con-
venientIy. An effort has been made to
include every modern housekeeping
