The action of the Board OF Commits
sloners IN regard to roads is some
times such as to cause one to wonder
where their power begins and Wheth-
er there Is any limit to It Take the
proceedings in the Newton road for
instance. The proceedings seem to
have been regular from the beginn-
ing; the required number of signers
to the petition; the bond all regular;
the survey made according to law:
the viewers report Of their work and
the amount Of damages allowed, all
hled and acted upon by the Board;
their order issued to the trustee to
open said road, and his order to road
Overseers, and, In a word, every one
had understood that the road was es-
tabllshed. Then at It's next meeting
the Board recOnsidered it's action and
declared the road vacant. Now which
action of the Board will stand? It Is
evident that if their first action was
right, their last was wrong, and vice
versa. Now we are of the opinion
that the people Of Phillips county
have been hOcus Focused about as
long as they can be In the matter Of
roads. When, as is the case of the
above mentioned road, the proceed
ings have been such as to warrant the
Commissioners to allow damage and
order the road open, it seems like the
grOssest kind of mismanagement to
order the same road vacated, and es-
pecially after damage has been paid
How does the Hon. Board propose to
satisfy the people in this matter? The
petition for a road is, of itself, bona
tide evidence of the necessity existing
for a road, and the statute plainly
says: 'and if said report of viewers
is favorable and no legal objections
appear against said report, and they
are satisfied that such road will be of
public utility, they shall order said
road surveyed, and plat to be record
ed, and from thence forth said road
/ shall be considered q public hiqb-
tCGy." etc. Now the action of the
Board IN ordering the road open
shows that there were no illegal OBJ
jectiOns," and that they Thought it
would be of public utility" for the
road was ordered open: the damages
were paid, and all was considered
right. Now what caused this later
action, and who will reimburse the
county for the money paid out? We
are Of the opinion that the county
will enquire into the matter. PED.

Independent in politics and is devot-
ed to the cause of humanity, espec-
tally the unfortunate ones in the race
of life. It's hobby IS ''free Iand''
which when elaborated and explained,
means that every human being has a
natural right to some portion of land,
and that government does wrong IN
allowing a few men, for speculative
purposes, to get control of thousands
of acres Of land which they viii not
improve nor allow anybody else to
improve. As consistently might gov
ernments permit q few persons to get
a monopoly on air or to corner" sun
shine or the clouds, as to allow the
few to ''own" vast trucks of earth or

rem and in which they all have an IN
herent natural right Mr.. Stuart

record. He is both able and honest.

q. A. Weeks was circulating a re-
monstrance last week to be presented
to Congress protesting to the pro-
posed Blair amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States, which
eontemplates requiring all persons to
recognize the first day of the week as
the sabbath. That remonstrance
ought, we believe, to be signed by all
lovers Of religious liberty. Our fore
fathers wisely framed the Constitu-
ton guaranteeing to every one s:the
right to worship God according to
the dictates of his own conscience
For ages men and women had been
burned, and racked, and tortured in
every conceivable way by religious
fanatics who thought they were serv-
ing God by compelling other people
by law to worship as they did. Our
fathers divorced church and state. and
we have seen a grand and good GOV
eminent grow up under the wise pro
visions Of which, religion is in no wav
hlndered or interfered with. Wbv
now undo what Washington, Jeffer-
son, Franklin and the other fathers
Of the Republic wisely did in tbat
matter? The consciences of Seventh
Day Adventists, of Jews, Of certain
other sects and of thousands who pro-
Tess no particular faith, will be v;o-
lated by the enactment Of a Sunday
law that compels under penalties GER
tain religion Observances contemplat-
ed by the proposed Blair amendment
Let US let well enough alone and not
invite bitter sectarian strife and Y.os-
sibly bloody revolution by attempting
to unite church and state In this coun-
ty. We hope 8r. Weeks remon-
STRANGE viii be numeronsly signed.

The friends of Col. Vim. Christy,
of Phoenix, Arizona, will, in due time,
present his name to President Harri-
son as a suitable person to be gov
ernor of.,that territory, and they will
press his appointment. We hope he
may secure the position. We have
known him intimately for nearly 25
years. He was a gallant officer in the
Union army and was badly wounded
and rendered unfit for manual labor;
he was long time in Libby prison;
returning after the war to his former
home, in Osceola, Iowa, he held many
positions of honor and responsibility.
For two terms he served as treasurer
of the state of Iowa, being elected by
very large majorities. His health
failing he removed to Arizona, locat-
ing at Phoenix five or six years ago.
He is an honorable man Of correct
habits, of probity of character, and of
good ability. He would make a CAPT
tai chief executive and we hope to
see him receive the appointment.
