The following from Congressman Little will not be appreciated by the enemies of the country press "Mr. Speaker, in this perilous time in the history ofthe republic let us encourage in every possible way the dissemination oi knowledge; encourage the CIT culation of the best litera ture. Let us uphold tht hands of the press, the suburban or county press, the more important oi all to the great body of the people Let 1t have the greatest possible liberality, and by it's aid let us trust to the intelligence and patriotism of the people for the perpetuity 0 our institutions" Cloud appIaus, on the Democratic side.)

In their report published in the

In their report published in the last issue of this paper, tho grand jury struck telling blow at the root of one of our most demoraliz- ing evils, critisizing strongly and tersely the negligence and indif- ference of county road overseers. The present condition of the pub- lIc roads in St. Francls county is a crying shame, and a refutation of our proud boasts of progress and advancement. The loose methods now employed in this important department of local government will never result in anything bet ter. Roads which are considered good when first opened, will be- come almost impossible under the present system of "working." The indifferent tactics of road over. seers are shown in this sentence from the report of the grand jury. "We find that out of 133 road dis tricts, twenty-five are not reported, and possibly many of them are abandoned. " This is n fragrant violation of law. but none of these twenty-five have been indicted. and because these twenty-five have gotten off so easily, others will be encouraged and the number will be swelled to fifty by the fall term of court. The Register of Road Districts, a book kept in the coun- ty clerks office. for the purpose of keeping a correct list of the names of road overseers and the respect i've districts to which they are as- signed or appointed, also for the purpose of keeping record of all changes in overseers Dy reason of new appointments, etc., is useless. The grand jury couldn't mak e "head nor tail of it." 4 number of road overseers who did report admitted that no work had been done in their districts, others re. ported one days work and some had worked two days. The whole thing is a farce. The people do not seem to take any pride or in- terest in having good roads or making any permanent improve. ments. |" Whats every body's bus mess, IS nobody's business. We heartily endorse the grand jury's s suggestion that law be made pro- viding q road commissioner to look after these negligent overseers, and if they do not perform their duty, indict and prosecute them. This is matter which should not be put off. Procrastination will undermine the good effect of the grand jury's report, and the coun- ty judge should take the matter in hand immediately.

Don't let disappointments and rrejudices keep you away from the polls on election day. In the city primary election two hundred and thirteen persons pledged them, selves 10 the support of the nomi nees, and it amounts to perjury, pure and simple 10 stay away from the polls and not redeem those pledges at the general election, and no true democrat will be guilty or such action.

 Speaking of tho Congressional
 race, the Cross County News Says ::
 "There are three candidates
 in the field and lively triangular fight for the nomination is on. The ground in the doubtful counties
 will be hotly contested and i,
 looks probable that no one of the
 three candidates will go into the
 convention with instructions
 enough to nominate. Hon. Clay Sloan will probably carry the four northern counties with their B
 votes Judge Taylor naturally ex-
 poets to secure the support of the
 Second judicial district, and our present Congressman, McCuulloch,
 will doubtless carry Woodruff, St. Francis, Lee and Phillips. So it looks as if each will enter the con.
 test with nearly an equal strength. What the result will be Is hard to foresee this early Tn the canvass. " Two of the three candidates for
 congress bave been in this county presenting their claims to the voters. MT. Sloan addressed quite
 a large audience at the court house, | and the other has been on a still hunt. Nr. McCulloch, to whom
 he Cross county paper comedies
 thls county, has been kept at his post of duty in Washington, and
 therefore has had no opportunity
 of addressing the voters or of talk
 ing with them personally as the
 others have done. THE TIMES likes
 fair play, however, and while we
 are not taking sides in this race or
 championing the claims of any
 particular candidate, we do want
 to ask the voters to give the Hon. l P. D. McCulloch's claims such con-
 sideration as they deserve, and
 show him that same courtesy which
 he would receive were he to come
 here in person. He has not writ.
 ten to us, or asked us to say any
 thing in his behalf, nor anyone for
 him, but it looks to us that his du-
 ties are to keep him out of the canvass, at least in this county,
 and We think he should be given the
 benefit of public mention. He IS
 thoroughly weIl-known as q life
 long democrat, and has taken active part in politics ever since his ma. lority. He has been a member of 1 the Rivers and Harbors Committee continuously since he entered con- gress, and has never failed to look l closely after the interests of his l constituents. He has also been q l member of the Private Lands l Committee. He has given special
 attention to the improvement of 1 he Mississippi rlver and the rivers of Arkansas. He took an active part in the cele-
 brated rival controversy Tn con- | gress between the San Monica and | San Pedro harbors in California l he fight being between c. P. Hunt ! lngton, the railroad magnate, on
 he one side favoring San Pedro, and the people on the other side,
 tavoring San Monica, Little Mac r" ehampioning the cause of San Monica. Remember when you go 1 10 the polls that MT. McCulloch
 mas been kept away from the can eass by hls duties in congress. He would have been glad to have met every voter If it had been possible or him 10 do so. But it wasn't md therefore lie deserves the same consideration as though he had been here in person.
