session he presided over the senate owing Co the absence of Vice President Marshall The railroad eight-hOur bill was passed with Senator Clarke in the chair. but he was one of two democratic senators to vote against the measure and he refused tO sign it. He appointed Senator Hughes as acting president Vra tempore when the bill was pre- selted for signature.
 Senator Clarke's revolt against the CiEht-hou bill was a typical manifes 1arion of a stern independence which Vhancterized his attitude throughout 1he thirteen years of his senatorial career Many times he was the leader iu opposition to measures proposed by his party. The climax of his inde- Terdcncc was reached when he led the democratic revolt against the ship pur- chase bill which gave new life to the republican filibuster against the meas ure and made its passage impossible. When the bill was re-introduced dur iuC the last session, however, with the government ownership and operation features Co which Senator Clarke ob- 1ected revised and modified, he sup ported it.
 Senator Clarke acted foT several wears as chairman of the committee on commerce. He was the ranking demo- cratic member of the foreign relations and military affairs committees.

NEED OF PROMPT
 ROAD MAINTENANCE.

There are a good many persons who really believe in the maintenance of highways, who have the very mistaken opinion that little money need be spent for several years on a new road which has been constructed at a heavy cost As a matter of fact. there may be heavy expenses during the first five years, which are called maintenance but really form part of the completion of the improvement. It will often be necessary to remove slides from banks which have been cut into at the time of the original work. Retaining walls must sometimes be built to protect such banks or to guard against the erosion of the highway by streams. The drain age system is often the source of com plaints from abutting property owners, and only brief experience is needed to show that it must be modified. Con- ditions such as these make it necessary to begin maintenance as soon as a road is finished, for while the surface and | foundation may remain in excellent condition for several years there are other parts of a road than these, and
 the entire highway ought to be kept in mind when discussing an improved road

CITIES CONCERNED
 IN RURAL HIGHWAYS

There is an occasional complaint that people living in cities, unless they own automobiles, have no concern in rural roads and should not be taxed for their improvement An interesting light on this point is shed by an editorial in the Daily Town Talk of Alexandria, La, which reads as follows: Attention has again been called to the almost inn passable condition of the road to Marksville. One of the worst places in this road is the Bayou Marie swamp and the hill in that section, which is almost impossible for teams. Parties coming through there today, state that the road is too bad for travel now, and that in the fall and winter it will be much worse. The condition of this road is injuring trade in Pineville and
 Alexandria, used as it is by large
 number of farmers living in that sec
 tion, who will go toward Marksville
 instead of traversing this road to come
 to Pineville and Alexandria. It is
 stated conservatively that a thousand i bales of cotton will be diverted from
 here to Marksville this season on ac- count of the condition of the road, un- less it is improved at once. Every progressive town has a board of trade or its equivalent, which strives to at {; tract rural trade to the towns shops | If the roads leading to the town are SC poor as that described in the quotation a check is not only placed on the trade l from the farmers but the number o- thrifty farms is kept down, for no in 1 telligent man desires to isolate his fam | fly in lonesome solitude by living Wher' | conditions are like those on the roat | to MarksVille"

FIGURES SHOW REAL
 G00D ROADS PROFIT

IL IS often difficult to make farmers
 believe that good roads are of financial
 value to them. They agree readily that
 good roads are desirable as a means of
 making rural life less marrow. They
 agree that good roads make it easier
 Tor children to go to school, for the
 doctor to reach the farm, and for all
 hands to meet for religious and social purposes. But many of them say that
 It Is mere theory" to claim any direct
 financial results from road improve
 ments. Now theory" if true, is just
 as helpful as are facts, and in this
 case II Is easy to show how facts SUD-
 port theory. The facts can be obtained with the help of officials of the rail-
 ways shipping farm products out of a
 district before it's roads were improved and after the improvement A specific case Tn Virginia may be taken as an it. lustratlon. The figures were collected by George F. Coleman, state highway commissioner. Before the roads in one Of the counties of that state had been ! improved, the largest amount of farm and forest products shipped out of the
 county in any one year was 49,00O l tons. In 1909. the amount of dairy pro- ducts shipped was 115, 900 pounds. Dur in that year 40 miles of road were i'm PioHeu at dH expense or SlUU,UUO. In i 1911, two years after the improvement l Il, 900 tons of farm and forest products and 273,000 pounds of dairy products
 were shipped. The increase was 45 and
 40 per cent respectively in these two | classes of products. The increase in 1 wheat shipments was 59 per cent, in
 tobacco 31 per cent and in lumber and
 other farm products AS per cent over
 the best records made before the roads
 were improved. This is by no means all of the direct result of having good roads for marketing. Careful studies oi
 traffic in the county were made by |, Commissioner Coleman for two years | which showed that it cost at least 2
 cents to haul a .on a mile on unim- proved roads and F cents q ton a mile on improved roads. The records
 ] showed that the average haul of 65. .0O(
 tons of products was miles Conse-

He was i asked, he said, then you regard note sending as a failure?" and he replied By no means"

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1. - Eighty five per cent of the 10000 members of six railway shopmen's unions on twenty western railways voted to re- fuse compromise proposals of the railroads to demands for an eight hour day and a wage increase of 3 cents an hour, it was announced to- day. Further negotiations will be held between the unions and the rail roads
 Seventy five per cent of the union mon are employed in stationary shop work and the other 25 per cent in re- pairs to rolling stock. The compro- mise offer was said to have averaged an increase of 212 cents an hour in wages and the granting of the eight hour day to men employed in sta tionary work The granting of this time schedule to the other men was withheld because the railroads con- tended an eight-hour day is neces- sary for satisfactory results in this branch of the employment it was said.
