GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer Chance to Reach Markets-Bad
 Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and interurbans have and are having much to do with the development of this state. The evil dence of their splendid work is seen on every hand. They have contributed to the building of towns, the develop ment of rural communities and have made 1t possible for great industrial ventures to succeed. But they, while working wonders for the common wealth, cannot reach every household as the highways do. The highway reaches the isolated man, which the railway but incidentally touches, and 1t means to this man or the community In which he lives whether the highway Is of such a nature as to enable him to carry on his relations at the least expense and comfort. If the roads are bad he is hampered and loses much, not only from the value of his prod ucts which must be hauled to market, but he pays tribute in the wear and tear of his harness, vehicles and in- jury to animals. His inability to reach churches and schools easily reduces his ability to make the most useful citizen.
 If he has good roads he reverses this and stands out with greater pos abilities along all lines of endeavor in which he engages. - Greenville (Tex.) Banner.

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to et Kept Closed Tight-Use Split
 Log Drag After Rains.

(By W. C. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
 North Dakota Agricultural College)
 When dry weather comes the dust from the road becomes a great hui: sance to the housewife who lives near the road. In many cases windows have to be kept closed tight to lessen the amount of dust that seeps in. The most effective way of reducing the dust nuisance is the use of a split-log drag on the road after every rain. The road dust comes largely from the grinding up of the turned-up edges Of ruts made by wheels and horses hoofs. These cannot form unless water can stand on the roadbed and water can- not stand on the roadbed if it is kept well crowned and well packed as 1t will be if the road drag is used regu- larly. Dragging the roads will mean a good deal to the housewife, as well as to travellers and those who have to | haul to and from the market.

NEW REVENUE BILL PRAISED
Chicago Journal Points Out the Many Good Points Contained In the
 Measure.

The best of many good things about the new revenue measure is the in- heritance tax feature The Journal has been working for this tax for loI these many years, and doubtless IS somewhat prejudiced in the matter 1; but 1t feels that this alone Is enough to make almost any revenue bill en- durable. The levy is not so high az could be wished, but it makes pretty good start. Once let the American people experience the justice. fitness and democratic value of an inherit ance tax, and they never can be per suaded to go back to the old scheme of doubling the tariff when more money Is needed.
 The income tax changes are not al- together satisfactory. It is all right to increase the charge against large incomes, but the exemption ought to be lowered. There is no good reason why a single man with a net income of S2 ,999 or a married man with $1,- 900 more should not make a direct contribution to the expense of the government. Also, there should be 6 sharp distinction between earned in comes and those derived from inherit ed wealth.
 The munitions profit tax is frankly emergency legislation, and must bt judged on that basis. There is nt doubt that it will bring some needed money or that 1t complies with pop ular demand.-Chicago Journal.

WILL G0 ID WILSON
Democratic Platform Appeals to
 Many Progressives.
Men of Really Independent Thought Who Supported Roosevelt Last Election Not Likely to Enter
 the Republican Fold.

Charles E. Hughes and his political advisers are naturally heartened at Colonel Roosevelt's return to the Re publican party, but not all the Pro- greSSives who were ready to follow their leader in another free lance move ment will act upon his recommends tion to support the Republican ticket. Of the 4,119,509 votes cast for Roose- welt in 1912 many-how many, is question, of course-were avowed in- dependents. They had been Repub- licans but had come to feel nearer the Democratic party than the party of their former allegiance. Thousands of these independents will, 1t is. be- lfeved, vote for Wilson and Marshall rather than for Hughes and Fair banks.
 With split in the Republican party four years ago Wilson had a phe- nomenal victory-an electoral vote of 435 as compared with eight for Taft and SS for Roosevelt. Under similar conditions something like the result of the 1912 election would be assured this year, but such political triumphs may be expected only once in lifetime. But it need not be sur prising to see a very large proportion of the erstwhile Progressives casting their ballots for WilsOn-enough to bring several of the doubtful states normally Republican into the Demo cratic column.
 The election is four months off Momentous things affecting the politi cal situation may happen between now and the 7th of November. But if the election were to take place to morrow Wilson would be an easy win ner, despite the apparent fusion of Re publicans and Progressives. -;

Peculiar Campaign Feature.

A painful feature of the presidential campaign is the attempt of many of our esteemed Republican contempo' raries to take rank in the high-brow class. What formerly was simply hel. fish is now "inept;' what was once damnable cowardice Is now 'fncerti. tude," and what in the good old days was nothing less than downright Dem. ocratic fdiocy is now "fatuous."

The most effective suits follow current modes with so much reserve that they are not out of date with the passing of single season. This Is especially true of the materials of which the best tailored suits are made.
 The suit shown here is an excellent example of a standard suit, made of black and white checked material, which is never out of fashion. The skirt is plain and rather full and flares sufficiently to be in the mode. The coat is plain cut, with an easy adjustment to the figure, which is always smart, and has a full peplum
