TASK |S A HARD 0NE
Republican Hope of Success Not
 Too Apparent.
Noise Is Being Made in an Effort to Show Party Harmony, but Other Indications Are Ominous of
 Defeat.

The slight ripple of approval and satisfaction which agitated Republican circles immediately following the nom- ination of Hughes and Fairbanks ap- pears to have faded into a remarkable degree of placidity. The Democratic convention completed its work and presented clearly and enthusiastically the issues and the record upon which it invites a renewal of the country's confidence.
 The aspect of Republican unity that has been presented by the collapse of the Progressive party has not served to instill overconfidence in Republi- can ranks. The leaders who are in touch with public affairs know that the triangular contest of 1912 affords no basis upon which to estimate this years probabilities. They know that it is an entirely different Democratic party that they will have to face this year, and that new and unsounded problems are uppermost in the minds of the people.
 There is degree of noise that indi- cates Republican harmony and even enthusiasm in certain quarters, but there is also an impressive and omi nous silence in Republican states which indicates that the Republicans who used to shout are now ponderinE the situation and doing some thinking

KEEP ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE
spIit-Log Drag Is of Great Service In Keeping Roadways in Eeonomi-
 cal Repair.

The use of the road drag is i'm portant in putting the roads in good shape for winter use. There are over 100000 miles of earth roads in the country, and the split-log drag is of great service in keeping them in eco nomical repair. The drag is used in many states and in foreign countries. It is used with two, three, or four horses, and is easily constructed.
 Drags are often constructed Of blanks instead of logs. The plank should be strengthened along the mid dle line by by 6-inch strip. A tri- angular strip may be used under the lower edge of the blade to give the proper cutting slope.
 Usually two horses are enough to pull a drag over an ordinary earth road. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track the full length of the portion to be dragged and the return made over the other half of

Platform, Rhetoric.

The exigencies of Republican plat form rhetoric require that the Demo cratic party be viewed sometimes as single entity operating for evil, some times as a conglomeration of indivi- duals of whom a few are not so bad as the rest If thing has been done in the course of the last three years of which the Republican party hear tily disapproves-and that is true of most of the things that have happened in the last three years-then 1t is the Democratic administration that is re- sponsible. But if here or there the interests of the nation have been well served, as in the refusal by congress to abandon" the Philippines. the mer- 1t belongs to the Republicans in con- gress, "aided by few patriotic Demo crats." Presumably, it is only because of freak of nature that these few patriots happen to be Democrats in- stead of falling under the biological law which makes patriots and Repub- licans synonymous. But political platform is not the place for philoso- phic subtleties. and this must be the reason why the platform-makers at Chicago did not take up the highly difficult question whether the action in congress on the right of Americans to travel on armed merchantmen was upheld by the Republicans with the aid of patriotic Democrats. or by the aid of patriotic Republicans.

Argument Lacks Effectiveness.

How much stress either MT. Hughes or his party will endeavor to lay on the tariff plank" of the Chicago platform is one of the interesting problems of the campaign. That plank was insert ed for a sufficiently obvious reason to try to dull the argument of good business, not only during Democratic administration but after a downward revision of the tariff. This is done by the explanation that, ''but for the ad- ventitious conditions created by the war;" the tariff of October, 1913, would long since have paralyzed all forms of American industry and de prived American labor of its just re- ward" Whether the people at large can be convinced by insistence on what might have happened but did not. is at least doubtful; the argument has not even the political effectiveness of the older Republican argument that. al- though the tariff reduction of 1894 was made 12 months after the panic of 1893. nevertheless the panic was caused by the tariff act. That par ticular plank, absurd as 1t was in the eyes of serious people, served some thing of its purpose, for the reason that, when 1t was constructed, there had at any rate been recently wit times. The trouble with the present plank is that we have had both tariff reduction and good business.

These ditches on steep grades should not be over 300 feet apart so that the water may be caught and diverted before it collects in sufficient quantities to cut the ground If a smoother road is desired these ditches may be covered by by 6 inch blanks placed one inch apart to allow the water to run through the cracks and into the ditch.

 Having just returned from a trip into the mountains over the worst of roads, a comment or two should not be out of place at this time.
 First. The road builder has followed the lines of 'least resistance" and has given grades as steep as 20 per cent.
 Second. He has made no provision for taking care of the rainwater fall ing upon or coming to these steep grades.
