Relief In Sight

While politicians fuss and fume over the welfare
OF the farmer, agrarian peoples of this snow-bound
country have had to battle obstacles provided
ture and from which there will be until the
soft glow of the spring suns rays mets the abund-
ant white covered blanket from Mother Earth's face
Being snow-bound has proven to both rural and
town folk that mans present efforts to keep the
roads open inadequate, and with its attendant
loss of business, deprivations of comforts and
lack Of mail distribution has been too costly and
from the standpoint of motor traffic on county and
township roads, where the bulk of our farmers re-
side, has been pronounced failure AS result the
farm communities of this section in this motorized
age have been forced to return to the "horse and
buggy days"
Wedge-shaped plows on our ungraded
roads have been inadequate to cope with the deep
snow after high banks piled along the road
sides and then continual drifting eventually blocked
the roads to traffic Reports from farmers to eff
feet that it takes two hours to travel seven miles,
and one farm lady informed the writer that she had
not been in town for two months. Travel from the
farms to the city have been made by sled and the
road bed has been discarded to make trails through
the fields
All this goes to show that the problem of clear
ing roads of will not be solved by present meth
ods and that in order to accomplish the task proper
ly 1t will be necessary to acquire different plows.
This, Of course, under present prices is extremely
costly. However, we understand that one large man.
ufacturer is now experimenting with building small
rotary snow plows, which be fastened to farm
power units, and which will be very reasonable in
price-in fact very much cheaper than the wedge
shaped plowys in Under that set-up it may
be possible to have at least one Of these pows for
say three townships, less necessity de-
mands. We understand these plows will be built dur
able and will be made to clear the roads in sections
BY which we mean that side of the road will be
cleared and the return trip the other side will be
taken Business has been at standstill during the
winter, and both the farmer and businessmen have
suffered losses From that standpoint it would be
well to investigate the machine, and if proven
worthwhile, it will possibly be start to keep the
roads cleared Of snow throughout the winter

Porto Rico and Cuba developments.
Governments and peoples in Central
and South America saw threats 70
their independence in the southwark
expansion of United States influ-i
ences and Secretary Root made
long tour in which, by personal
touch. he laid foundations for Pan
American understanding and soil
darity.
On the other side of the world
fretful circumstances in the Pacific
and the Japanese immigration prob
lem called for the exercise OF his
genius for diplomacy. The Root
Takahira pact, famed as 1.-The gentle
mems agreement emerged to keep
peace in the Pacific.
Cabinet TO Senate
Public life had claimed him defla-
tely now. He went from the Cabinet
the Senate, to stand squarely as
champion of party regularity in
he hectic days of the Bull Moose
movement.
WELDING the gavel over the Re-
publican National Convention at
Chicago, he held the party unwav-
eringly to a course that meant de-
eat in the three-cornered battle Of
1912 He stuck to his guns, strong
n the belief that the Roosevelt de-
'ections was a passing mood, a be-
lief that proved itself within his
lifetime.
At the end of his Senate term Mr.
Root again sought retirement. But
With the World War came a new
luty, this time under a Democratic
administration, when President Will
ion made him head of special dip
'omatic mission to the ephemeral
xerensky regime in Russia
After the war Mr.. Root was con-
cerned in the fight for American
membership in the League of Ma
ions trying his best to persuade
he 'die-hards" in the Senate TO
accept compromises which he was
sure would safeguard this country
from entangling European ALI
ances. Several times in later years
he chided the men who blocked the
United States away from the Geneva
organization.
At Arms Conference
In 1921 President Harding named
him as one of the American dele
gates to the Washington Arms Con-
ference. There he led the fight
against use of poison gases and the
right of submarines to attack mer-
chant vessels without warning.
He engaged III the legal fight
against the Volstead Act, arguing,
albeit unsuccessfully, in the SUI
preme Court against the constitu-
tionality of that law. He maintained
that congress had not the right,
under the eighteenth amendment,
to limit the alcoholic content of
beverages to one-half of one peri
cent.
Mr.. Root was born February Is,
l845, at Clinton, N Y, the son of
Oren Root, professor Of mathema-
tics at Hamilton College. The father
gave the son every opportunity for
self-improvement, hoping that he
would devote himself to education. !

Hamilton, young Root did teach |

| of the ideas embodied in the earlier
Court of Arbitration at The Hague,
ideas which were developed by him
when, as Secretary of State, he made
over the fabric of American treaty
relationships to accord with his con-
viction that among nations, as
among reasonable men, law could
be made to govern. Because of his
part in this world development he
was named in 1910 as member of
the arbitration tribunal.
Was District Attorney
These worldwide recognitions of
his talents crowned a public career
which started with his appoint
ment as Federal District Attorney
by President Arthur in 1888. Bun
after two years in that office he
went back to private practice and he
had only meagre background of
public service when, in 1889, he was
called to Washington by President
Mckinley to be Secretary of War. !,
This was on the heels of the
Spanish-American conflict and he
found the United States army re-
flecting the effects of the scandals
which followed criticisms of its adj
ministration in 1898. "Embalmed
beer aromas hung over the depart
ment, to say nothing of popular in
dignation over the fact that Ameri-
can regulars and volunteers hao
been forced to wear heavy wooden
uniforms III tropical Cuba and fight
with black powder ammunition
whose smoke revealed their posi-
tons clearly to Spanish forces using
the smokeless variety.
Staff System Changed
Secretary Root reorganized the
staff system and laid sound ground
work of Army Administration that
withstood acid tests years later when
submitted to the crucible of the
World War.
To his administration also was
confided the beginnings of the Pan
anna Canal and when the Consti-
tuition followed the flag into the
Philippines he had to draw up regu-
lations for colonial administration
something which was new to Ameri-
can experience. The army also ad-
miniStered affairs in Cuba during
the infancy of that Republic and
suppressed with 10000 men, the
Philippine instruction.
That his work was good is writ
ten in the promptness with which he
was called back to Washington to
become Secretary of State under
Roosevelt, against his own desire to
go on with the practice of law in
New York.
Again it was his lot to reorganize
great governmental agency and he
rebuilt the consular and diplomatic
services. Through them he worked
more than seventy-five treaties.
Tour South America

term was combating the feeling Of
distrust which had been engendered
in Latin-America by the Panama,
