POLITICAL POINTS.

To the Editor Of The Democrat: The
influence of the great financial institu-
tons which have made millions out of
their practical control of the farm loan
business of the United States prevented
the republican party from proving it.
self to be the friend Of the farmer it
has always pretended to be. Farmers
will not forget the fact, that it was the
the rural credits law which provides a
system of banks which will do for the
men who operate the farms, what the
national and state banks have been
doing for years for the men who oper
ate the stores and factories.
The present democratic congress,
both house and senate, share with the
President the honor Of making record
equalled only by the record of the last
congress. If ever legislative body
earned popular endorsement, the
democratic senate and the democratic
house have.
Mr. Hughes seems inclined to make an
issue Of the strike, He did not express
himself on the subject until the strike
was called off. During the critical
days covered by the controversy he
kept still, but as soon as the President
acted he criticized the course taken.
Well, let him make what capital be can,
he will find that the railroad magnates
are not as powerful in the nation at
large as they are in New York. The
eight hour day has come to stay and
Mr. Hughes, as usual, gets on the wrong
side of the issue.
Voters: Compare Roosevelt attack
ing peace; Hughes attacking prosperity
and labor; Sherman attacking labor;
and Penrose defying the people; com
pare the above quartette with the 100
per cent American, the nation wide
business builder, Woodrow Wilson.

The Milwaukee Journal is doing ex-
cellent service in showing up the hol-
lowness and inconsistency of the double
barr4Ied pro Ally and pro German
campaign the supporters of Judge
Hughes are waging against President
Wilson. One group of his supporters
say that Hughes, as president, would
have assailed Germany; and another
group say that he would have assailed
England. The Journal gathers their
expressions and publishes them in a
forceful way; and with its circulation
of over one hundred thousand copies
daily it well prepares the Wisconsin
mind for the reception of the composite
candidates efforts in his own behalf

Vitrihed Brick for Paving Country
Roads.

no doubt exists in the minds OF the
members that a federal aid law soon
will be passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan or
bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be-
cause past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved inadequate, but because the ac-
tivity of the government would en-
phasize the importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden Of ex-
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi-
dents would contribute two-thirds of
the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside
or incorporated cities and villages, no
opposition has been heard to it on
the ground that it would place an un-
just burden on the city resident, who,
while only indirectly benefited, appre-
ciates the value of good roads to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.

WORK OF MAINTAINING ROADS
People In Many States Spending Much
Money for improvement, but
Overlook Needed Care.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the Importance OF maintenance in con-
nection with the work Of improving
the roads. The people in nearly all
the states are filled with enthusiasm
for road improvement and are spend
ing enormous sums OF money in the
construction of superb roads; and yet
almost without exception they are
making little provision to care for the
roads after they are built. This is
true not only in the various counties,
but under many OF our state highway
departments.
To maintain the roads In good con-
dition year after year requires a con-
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay is infinitely less than the loss which
must fall upon the people eventually
il they allow their roads to go to utter
ruin. The thing for all advocates Of
good roads to do is to urge continuous,
systematic maintenance and the set
ting aside every year of an amount per
mile estimated by the engineer in
charge TO be sufficient for the proper
maintenance OF the road-a course
which must make for economy and
efficiency.

FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS

Public sentiment throughout the
United states is overwhelmingly in ia

made to congress by the joint commit
tee on federal aid. II is no longer a
question Of the desirability OF a ma
tional law providing for such govern
mental help in creating a national sys-
tenn Of good roads, nor of the constitu-
tionality OF such an act, but of de-
Gliding upon a measure the provisions
Of which shall be framed so carefully

Farmers Pool Hemp.
(Jessamine Journal.)

Jessamine county's 275 acres of
hemp, which made 100000 pounds and
sold at 81 a hundred, was pooled by
G. T. Ashley & Co. for the growers
Of the county. The firm has pur-
chased 500 bushels of hemp seed for
$1,000 The hemp acreage for Jessa-
mine county this year will be larger
than for several years The scarcity
and present high prices for hemp
seed will, without doubt, prevent
numerous of farmers from growing the
lint. Many farmers complained turn
ing from tobacco to hemp, which is
easier raised and leaves the land in

record that is hard to beat. From De-

has received POI eggs. During the

of twenty-four eggs to the hen, and
fell short by only FIVE of coming up
to the record Of Mr.. W. J. Jenkins, OF
