"KTSTHAT could be more pathetic than this spectacle of
the republican party the party of Lincoln, Grant
and MeKinley waiting with ill-concealed apprehension
forthc coming of Theodore Roosevelt and tho Day of Judg
ment? asks the New York World.
Waiting for him to divide the sheep from the goats
waiting for him to say whether it has fought, tho good
fight waiting for him to say whether it has kept tho faith
waiting lor him to say whether it has finished its course
it is prostrate before him like the mandarins before the
Son of Heaven. . H
But when omniscience has come, and when infallibility
has judged, what then?
Suppose the decision is in favor of Mr. Taft and the
tariff. Will the storm of protest be stilled? Will the
waves of popular discontent subside? Will the country
stop clamoring about the cost of living, and weep tears of
gratitude for half a loaf? Will labor joyfully accept its
wage, exulting that it is permitted to earn its bread in the
ie 'sweat of its face ? Will Aldrichism and Cannonism be sanc-
::::::::::Scjtified, and Ballinger be hailed as the great conservator?
Will reactionary and insurgent alike find peace that pass
eth all understanding?
Or suppose the decision is against Mr. Taft. Will the
president meekjy confess that he is only a proxy, and an
incompetent proxy at that? Will he be contented to go
down in history as a political understudy, a sub-tenant
in the White House, who did not wait for dispossess pro
ceedings? Will MacYeagh return cheerfully to the whole
sale grocery, and will Knox, Wickersham, Dickinson and
Nagel gracefully resume the gentle art of corporation law,
while Wall street gets ready to make its regular campaign
contribution to the cause of the just man armed?
Whatever the decision, there must inevitably be an
guish and disappointment and heart burning; for even in
fallibility cannot bring ecstasy to everybody, and millions
of republicans seem doomed to suffer in silence. He is
the court of last resort. He is the ultimate judge. Repub
licanism has bowed its neck to the yoke and is waiting
in breathless suspense for his verdict.
We recall no other such ae-inspiring spectacle since
political organizations were instituted under free govern
ment. When Tom Reed died was there nobody left in
the republican party with a sense of humor?

Listeuing to tho plaint of the editor

looks as if tho comet had got on his
nerves. He observes thusly:
"Verily, the lifo of a country cdi
tor is a path of thorns.
"His bread is promises and his
meat is ilisnnnointment.
"His creditors chaso hun by day
and old Satan grinneth at him in his
dreams by mghj.
"One subcorintion is wood, and be
teldl it is rotten and soggy and of

"Ho puffcth the church fair cratls
and then attendeth it and payeth his

things therein and yet receiveth no

Wfior in his own country.
"Two young people marry and he
giveth them a great puff; they goeth
te housekeeping and taketh.not his

"Road building," writes a subscriber, who is a promi
nent engineer, "is a matter which requires special study
in each particular case, and the effort to lay down uniform
practice even for localities which have fairly uniform con
ditions leads to imperfections. Methods which worked
well in one particular stretch of road may fail when ap
plied to another. In making up specifications for country
roads, while it is convenient to have a standard form, the
engineer will do very well to vary that form to suit the con
ditions. Traffic should be studied more and the benefit
derived should be commensurate with the expense.
"The phase of the study of roads which is preliminary
in its nature, should be more dwelt upon by essayists and
authorities. The importance of the road from the stand
point of its expected use should be more thoroughly in
quired into before entering on the actual construction, as
well as the various preliminary engineering inquiries of the
state of the soil, the availability of native material, drain
age, etc. In other words, does public convenience and ne
cessity require certain work done?
"The construction of good roads over long stretches of
country means such a vast expenditure, not alone in first
cost, but of more importance still, in future maintenance,
that haphazard methods must be abandoned and all the
elements of present and future use gauged with as certain
a forecast as possible.
"These are some of the points which I feel are some
what neglected in current literature, and it would seem
also that the state legislation is perhaps weak on the sub
ject of maintenance; legislators do not understand that
after a macadam road is built three or four hundred dollars
per mile a year must be spent to maintain it; in the long run
perhaps more."

Opportunities present themselves appeal strongly to your
mergetic business man and, in short order, he has another
business venture "going" has another "iron in the fire."
Your natural executive knows how and where and when to
concentrate, and rather relishes some divided interests.
He likes the zestful task of solving wit-sharpening prob
lems of exploring unfamiliar business ground.
