the senatorship, both of which are held
today by Republicans. Hence their de-
sire to appease as far as possible the
wet element In their ranks.
The Massachusetts, dry leader, Arthur
J. Davis, head of the State Anti-Saloon
League, has issued a warning to the Re-
publicans on the eve of their State con-
vention, in which he says fatty that a
moist" plank In the platform may spell
defeat for the ticket in November.
Nothing will more surely bring about
an unfavorable reaction than for can
didates who won in the primary
through appeal to the dry voters to
espouse moist or wet planks in the
party platform" said Mr.. Davis.
*
Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
who is going to Boston to address the
Republican State convention on Satur-
day, insists that prohibition is not a
party issue IN this campaign, but that
there are wet Democrats and dry
Democrats, as well as wet Republicans
and dry Republicans running for Office
This is quite true, taking the country
by and large. But in Massachusetts, the
liquor question has become a real is
sue, just as 1t has in New York State,
and as 1t threatened to do in New Jer-
sey until Dwight w. Morrow came out
for repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment and won the Republican sena-
torial nomination. The New Jersey
State convention followed the recon-
mendations of Mr.. Morrow and wrote
platform calling for repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment.
If New York nominated its candi-
dates for Governor by the party pri-
mary system. there seems little doubt
but what the Republican nominee this
year would have been a wet. The con-
vention system makes It possible for a
minority group more often to exert is
influence on the selection Of candi-
dates than does the primary.

CHICAGO, May 3i-tP)-Terrify-

of the storm were estimated at 80
TO so per cent In places. Chicago
May delivery Of wheat, however,
failed TO hold gains. and finished
at a decline because of lack of buy
ing except from federal farm board
allies.
Closing quotations on wheat were
irregular, with setback to / lac
advance compared with Thursdays
finish. Corn closed at a shade TO
2 1-2c gain, oats varying 4 lac off
to l-5c up, and provisions I'M
changed to a rise OF &c.
At first. the wheat pit here was
dominated by adviceS indicating
severe crop damage from Canadian
dust storms. especially in Saskatche-
wan and Alberta provinces. Some
reports al hand said that fully half
OF that part of the crop otherwise
uninjured in the path Of the storm
had been set back a week or ten
days as TO growth. Influenced by
such advice. the trade virtually
ignored for at least the time being
ar official estimate that 1880 wheat
crop Of India is II 200. 900 bushels
larger than last years total.

BUILDING ROADS BY STAGES.

Just as some small business concerns build their stores by stages and congregations build their churches by degrees-that is one story or section at time as needed-so certain sections of the Feedral-aid highway system constructed according to the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 In the beginning these sections of the highway system first improved to care for limited flow of traffic, and ustay of low-type construction Sometimes the existing earth road merely graded and drained. As traffic increases an inexpensive surface is applied and with further traffic increase pavement of higher type is laid over the low-type surface
 This method of road building is called stage construction. It is the method by which the Fed eral and State engineers year by year im- proving the Federal-ad highway system.
 When the Federal-aid system laid out there were certain sections of the country where traffic was light. in which but little progress had been mace m road improvement. It was in the States of these sections that the first effort was made to improve the roads quickly as possible, at least by adequate grading and drainage As traffic in creases and funds become available these roads are further improved
 In sections of heavier traffic where imnrova- ment of roads in progress for some time before the Federal system was laid out a comnarative,v i2rge percentage of the mileage had already been improved to some extent. Initial improvement with Federal aid in such sections are usually of com parayey high type, and there is little need to raise their standard by stage construction
 The largest amount of stage construction work IS now being done in the West North Central States of the total of 939O miles of Federa-aid roads i'm proved with Federal funds last year 1888 miles were of advanced-stage construction.
