Hughes Points the Wy

The speech of the Republican can.
didate for President was q keynote
speech. indeed. Not one persona.in
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive. log
tcal. clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute.
as to this. Plainly Mr. Hughes is a
man who knows what he wants when
he wants it, and it is the opinion
of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also. how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate to confine the scope
of his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion. but his crushing analy-
sis of the shortcomings of the pres
emf administration of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
is apt to be a serious issue in the
campaign and in language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur.
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. AS an orator
he is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end. He makes it easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost. !.
There was nothing equivocal. moth
ing apologize in the Republican can
didate's speech Of acceptance. He
called spade spade, and the unani-
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work, for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam
paign document, no more satisfactory
statement of issues than are found in
the candidates salutatory. z.,-.. y

jim, Hill.

Walt Mason in his quaint whim-
steal humorous way has written
many a gem but he never penned
anything better than the excerpt
given below. It is a classic worthy
of being inscribed on the base of the
Hill monument.
"Jim Hill has gone to his repose,
out where the weeping willow grows.
While on this earth he asked no
rest, this empire builder of the
West; through all his years he
strove and fought; by night he,
planned, by day he wrought. Men
used to say, "Where'er he goes he
makes things blossom as the rose;
along his track the cities. rise, and
chimneys point toward the skies, the
FORCES blaze, the hammers ring, and
buoyant worlmen smile and sing"
He was the captain Of host, but
Staying men was not his boast. His
armies stormed no fort or town and
tore no famed cathedrals down, and
where his mighty legions swept, no
widowed women walled and wept.
It's good to contemplate Jim Hill,
the general who did not kill, now
that the world is roaring mad,
from Mexico to Petrograd. One
hour of Hill is better far than fifty
thousand years Of war. This
mighty captain lies at rest, his
Monument the whole Northwest

MACADAM ROADS.
What They Are, How They Ar
Built, and What They Cost. !,

Washington, Aug. 19.-'The Ma
cadam road" said the United States
Office of Public Roads to-day, us
particularly adapted to main high
ways connecting cenbers of popula-
ton, but is not satisfactory for city
streets and is too expensive. for ru-
raj roads other than main highways
or pixies" The department has been
investigating. From IL to Is feet
is recommended as suitable width,
provided the road is thanked on
each. side with firm shoulders from
8 to 5 feet wide, to prevent shearing
of the sides by wheels. The Ma
cadam method of road construction
was first introduced about the begin
ming of the nineteenth century in
England by a Scotchman named
John Louden MacAdam. The chief
features Of this construction, which,
has since become one of the foremost
methods Of bodybuilding in every
country of the world, are: a raised.
thoroughly drained and crowned
earth foundation; a sub-surface of.
broken-stone fragments, not larger
than 2k inches in diameter and of
uniform size, a surface Of stone dust
and screenings. During the last 40
years this method has been modified
and the stone fragments are grad
uated in size with the coarser stones
at the bottom. Recently various
bituminous preparations have been
added to the surface as binders.
Heavy, petroleum oils, asphalts, BIZ
luminous cements and tar mixtures
are now used largely for this pur-
pose.
The cost is entirely dependent on
local conditions and the availability
Of materials. However, an estimate
Of the cost Of the macadam surface,
foundation and drainage costs elm
mated, places the average expendi-
ture, where imported trap rock IS
used, at approximately $1,000 to
$1,000 per mile for a 15-foot road
with an average depth Of 5 inches.
Where q good local stone is imme-'
diately available the cost Of the sur
face may be as low IS 81 500 to So
600 per mile. ].

GOOD SUGGESTIONS FROM
> A LEADING NEWSPAPER.

To the people of the community
we would say: Back up your local
editor. He is furnishing the best
possible boosting medium for your
locality, and you will find him un-
firing in his efforts in that direction.
His paper will be the sole means by
which many outsiders will know
your town and it's possibilities and
promise. If your support is lacking
he will not be able to publish a,
paper that will be a credit to the
place, or to give you what you know
to be good newspaper service.
Support him in every way. Give
him advertising,i when. you want to
get something before, the people.
Give him news when you know of
something the folks in general would
be interested in. And give him the
printing you have to have done, for
the chances are that that sort Of
work will go long way towards de-
ter1nining the character and success
OF the newspaper. Meanwhile re-
member that the space in his paper
is as much a subject for commercial
sale as are the goods on the mer-
chants shelves, and that when you
ask for free space it is equivalent
TIC asking for free dressgoods or
free groceries. You will find him
remarkably generous with his space,
all things considered. But do not
expect him to donate it for every.
thing that seeks publicity.
To the editor we would say:
Boost your town. Point out the
good and comendable things in it.
Point out errors, too, but at the
same time point out a remedy; be a
constructive critic, not common
Mocker. Give the public a square
deal and the public will see that you
are able to work up q circulation
that will itself draw advertising

LincOh's Views on Advertising

When the conduct of men is de-
signed to be influenced, persuasion
kind, unassuming persuasion, should
ever be adopted. It is an old and
true maxim, that "a drop Of honey
catches more flies than a gallon of
gall" So with men. If you would
win man to your cause, first con-
vince him that you are his sincere
friend. Therein is drop Of honey
that catches his heart, which, say
what he will, is the great highroad
to his reason, and which, when once
gained, you will find but little
trouble in convincing his judgment
of the justice. of your cause. if, in
deed, that cause be really a just one.
On the contrary, assume to dictate
to his judgment, or command his
action, or to mark him as one to be-
Stunned or despised, and he will
retreat within himself, close all the
avenues to his head and his heart;
and though your cause be naked
truth itself, transformed to the
heaviest lance, harder than steel,
and sharper than steel can be made,
and though you throw it with more
than herculean force and precision,
you shall be no more able to pierce
him than to penetrate the hard shell
of a tortoise with a rye straw.
Such is man, and so must he be
understood by those who would lead
him, even to his own best interests.
Abraham Lincoln.
