GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
Weli-Graded and Drained Earth Road, When Dragged Regularly, Is
 Quite Satisfactory.

Two very striking facts present themselves to those who have noticed our country roads this season. The first fact is that proper drainage is vitally necessary in order to have a permanently good road. The second fact is that a well-graded and drained earth road, when dragged regularly, will give us pasSable and fairly good road even under abnormal weather conditions. Some of the best roads we have passed over this season have been simply dirt roads receiving log drag treatment. Some of the worst roads we have gone over this season have been expensively made graveled roads which have been bad simply because of lack of drainage. The fundamental principle of road building, after all is said and done, is to so grade our roads and provide drainage that the water can get away.
 Sentiment in the middle West seems to be gradually settling down to the opinion that good roads are a ne cessity and not luxury. Building roads for automobile owners now
 
 not for city people alone. The farm tractor and the farm truck of the fu- ture will further emphasize the inn portance of good country roads. The only thing that must be insisted on is that roads must be made of the best materials at hand, and the work must be done under the supervision of those who understand road-making. This supervision naturally adds to the cost. Another thing that must be understood is that maintenance of the road year after year, prompt attention being paid to repairs, is just as necessary as the first construction.
 We predict that good-road building will continue to be one of the most popular subjects for discussion for the next few years. The proposed federal aid for road building, providing $75,- 100000 to be spent during the next five years when similar sum is raised by the local community, means that national system of roads is to become

Lloyd Thinks Missouri Safe.

Representative James T. Lloyd, who will retire from congress at the end of his present term, has his own ex- planation of why Missouri will go Democratic this year.
 '"There is not 1000 votes difference between the Republican and Demo cratic parties in Missouri" said Mir. Lloyd. Some Progressive votes doubtless will go to the Republican candidates this fall, but the Demo crats also will get some, and every one will count. We shall, I believe. gain more Progressive votes than the Republicans will.
 ''The narrow margin In the Missouri vote makes 1t appear to me that we shall surely win, for we shall not lose great many votes and will gain a great many more. I believe the con- gressional delegation in the house will be practically the same as it is now"

Good Democratic Doctrines.

You could no more build up this country by the application of Demo cratic doctrines than you could go fly ing through the air in the old-fashioned machines of thirty years ago.-Mr. Hughes.
 Why, Mir. Hughes, you can "go fly ing through the air" in a model 1886 aeroplane, if you wish. The designs were often excellent; only power was needed, and that is now available. The building up of the country by "the ap- plication of Democratic doctrines" 1" which seems to amaze you, is being rapidly done simply by applying pow CT to right principle.

Simply Party of Opposition.

Justice Hughes said nothing by which public opinion could measure him until he was forced to answer the call of his party. His speech of ac- ceptance fell far below the standard. In fact, 1t is ranked by one of the big daily papers as a cheap spellbind- CTS effort. It is rare that public opin- ion will show a lot of sympathy for presidential candidate whose party Is without a single important issue that is not in the opposition platform or being enacted into a law by con- gross. The most forcible argument foI the present administration Is the fact that it made good, and must be conceded it is due largely to the lead ership of Mir. Wilson. Every pledge has been faithfully kept, and every law that has been enacted has proved a success because of the master hand behind 1t.

SAME OLD CANARDS|
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN "ARGU-
 MENTS" MERELY LUDIcRoUs.
Endeavor to Place Blame on Demo- crats for Misconduct of Railroad Managers Is an Insult to Intel
 liaence of Voters.

"Under the present Democratic regime" says the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger, ga sixth of America's rail- road mileage sunk into bankruptcy" Filings of that kind are going to be heard every day from now until the end of the campaign in November, and 1t is just as well to issue general warn ing against them.
 Just as the Republicans invariably ignored every source of natural wealth, the intelligence of the Ameri- can people and the blessings of Di- vine Providence in accounting for prosperity and attributed 1t to Repub- lican rule while they were in power, so now they will charge every unto ward thing in the nation to Democrat ic rule, when they are out and want to get in. Everyone knows the req sons for the railroad disasters of re- cent years. They began with the mis- conduct of the railroads themselves, which continued until public indigna- ton demanded justice and was ripe for vengeance.
 Then came a period of cast-iron strong governmental reStr1ctlon, the effect of which was enhanced by the rising cost of what the railroads had to buy and increased wage expendi- lures. With all of this the Demo- cratic party had nothing to do, nor did any human agency have anything to do with the bad crops and floods which have crippled the roads of the Middle West during the last four years. Fi- nally came the European war, which at its onset checked industry in this country and threatened panic. That was the last shove-down for the roads.
 With this the Democrats had noth- ing to do, but the Democrats did pass a currency act which saved the coun- try from the industrial and financial devastation that would have followed had Republican policies prevailed and Republican financial legislation re mained on the statute books.

OLD GUARD IN FULL CONTROL
Mir. Hughes Avowedly the Candidate of Worst Element of the Repub-
 lican Party.

The Evening Post, which is strongly strongly for Wilson, is shocked by "the inexplicable folly" of the appointment of George w. Aldridge. Francis Hen- dricks and William L. Ward to the Whitman campaign committee "at the moment when MT. Hughes is trying to win the Progressive vote." Are not Aldrich, Hendricks and Ward just as good Progressives as Murray Crane. Boies Penrose and the other Old Guard leaders who are the real man. agers of the Hughes campaign and with whom the Republican candidate fer president holds frequent confer ences?
 AS William Barnes Albany Argus ex- plains, 'Mr. Hughes Is desirable can didate primarily because he is offered to the people by the Republican party" The Old Guard Republicans are the Republican party. MT. Hughes is their candidate for president and governor, and the captain of the ship cannot be expected to hide in the hold. Besides, a Republican candidate for president who has the support of Wall street, the trusts and the German American alliance Is not likely to pro- test against due recognition of the dominant Americanism" of George w. Aldridge, Francis Hendricks and Will liam L. Ward.-New York World.

Not to Embarrass Mir. Hughes.

By calling attention to the fact that a president with even one house of congress in opposition to him politi- cally must be gravely handicapped" !" MT. Hughes furnishes an excellent req son why he could not be elected this year. In the present senate the Dem ocrats have clear majority of 16, with three of four Progressives who are more inclined to affiliate with them than with the Republicans. It is of course, possible that there may be a Hughes landslide, but there are no signs of 1t. If MT. Hughes should be elected by a normal vote the Demo- crats might lose several seats in the senate and still be in control of that body until 1919.-New York World.

Seems to See Nothing but Wilson.

Mir. Hughes has failed thus far to show the slightest appreciation of the primary causes of the revolution in Mexico, or to sense the bleeding signifi- canoe of the uprising of an oppressed population against a government con- trolled, as our ambassador himself ad- mitted by enormously rich" grafters and land monopolists whose rule did mot promise greatly for the future" MT. Hughes sees nothing, apparently, but Wilson. He has yet to afford the slightest assurance that, under his presidency, his own mistakes would be less serious than those of his prede- cessor in dealing with a most difficult problem.

METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES
Gravel Is Mixed With Heavy Road Oil, Which Acts as Binder-Use a
 Concrete Mixer.

The modern scheme of protecting road surfaces with sprayed oil has de veloped a new method of patching holes. Gravel is mixed with a heavy road oil, which acts as binder. This is prepared in advance and carted to the place where the patching is to be done. Less gravel is needed than when it is used dry, because the hole need be filled only level and tamped, while with the ordinary method the patching gravel must be hsaped above the nor nal surface of the road. Where patch ing on a large scale is to be done, a concrete mixed can be used to prepare the mixture. - Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The Progressives spurn the right hand of fellowship so ostentatiously extended to them from the Republican tabernacle. They can have no hope of victory at the polls. They may hold in their hands the balance of power. It is only by giving their SUD- port to the Democratic candidate that they can give expression and effect to their noble wrath against those who so shamefully misused them four years ago.

been brought to her, but going to the
office was a time honored custom, and,
BESIDES this was a holiday.
The cold flushed her cheeks, and joy
put a sparkle in her eyes. Some one
in a long overcoat was coming to-
ward her Now, a strange, wild i'm
pulse made her want to turn, to run,
to escape, from what she did not know.
But it was too late. Before her was

the sender of the valentine, she said,
DO you really want me to go with

Now it suddenly struck Amos that
he did, and he wondered why he had
not thought of it before. So the vehe-
ment affirmative of the reply was in
proportion to the suddenness of the
impulse.
And to this day the little lady, still
prim, shy and diffident, but smiling as

not know that it was she who pro
