ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry watterson's Idea Is That They Be
Local, Not National.

Henry watterson's Idea Is That They Be
Local, Not National.
Henry Watterson takes issue with
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge Of road making-that there
should be. national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times-Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language of
Colonel Watterson, are those that "lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill,
the factory, the school, the church, the
ferry and the market"
This apt remark of Colonel Watterson
is a condensation, simplifcation, an
absolutely plain presentation Of what IL
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads. Garry ont that idea, and what
will be wanting? It will meet the re-
quirements of the farmer; it will save
the farming element hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars every year; twill meet
the expectations Of the pleasure seeker;
Il will add to the value Of every foot OF
land in the country; it will be Of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be a source Of pleasure
and profit to all classes, in all commu-
mites.

quired to keep the highways ip his

ty commissioners on all work completed,
and if the work is done according to
the plans, specifications and contract
he is to draw his vouchers for the same
before payment is made.
The county surveyor Is chairman OF
all boards Of viewers Of roads, keeps
the records Of road surveys and is the
general superintendent Of all roads. He
may employ labor, teams, ETC., and has
power to contract for all work not ex-
ceeding 5000 in cost. For larger amounts
the approval Of majority Of the board
Of county commissioners is required.
The salary received varies with the
class of county, from $3.50 to So, 600

Fifty Miles to Market.

It is not an uncommon thing In
France to see farmer 20. or 90 miles
from home in wet weather with heavy
load. If he sees a prospect Of q three
days. rain, he puts his tarpaulin over
his load, a cover over his horses and a
waterproof coat on and starts of to mar
ket. He may go 80 miles before he finds
q market that suits him, or he may
know in advance just where he isgoing.
You do not often see anybody driving 90
miles through rainstorm in the United
States to find a market for q load lof
hay, but it is not at all uncommon TO-
see farmers wagons 40 or 30 miles from
home in France. They choose the wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any time -

The Inheritance OF NY Fathers.
A.aoo;oko Dofornoo1 Droohpfarian n

There Is kind of pride in name
that has nothing in 1t to be commend
ed. He who tries to pass through life
on the strength of fathers or grand
fathers reputation, expecting to be
honored because of the name he was
born with, is worthy of contempt
rather than honor. The world owes a
man respect for what he is, not for the
name he happens to bear.
But he who bears an honored name
has.an Inheritance Of which he ought
to lie proud-not proud in the sense of
feeling himself above others on &C.
count of his name, but proud in the
sense of holding himself above any
thing that might stain it's honor. A
name is family banner. II our faith
ers hade held it up and carried it for
ward in the front rank, we ought 10 De
too proud to allow it to get down into
the dust or be left in the rear.
We don't hold this up as the highest
motive to urge us on in the way OF
duty. when we see an honored name
land who has not seen it?) dishonored
by those who bear it. we wonder at
their lack of pride. We wonder that
they place no higher value on the
inheritance of their fathers.
AS It seems to US there Is no in
heritance that u father could leave to
his children like that of an honored
name. We don't mean name known
to fame but name that calls to the
minds of those who know it noble
character. And certainly there is no
inheritance that ought to be kept with
greater care. Let the old home with
IT'S memories of childhood pass into
the hands Of strangers If need be.
Duty or necessity may call US far away
from it. Let the old house with its
secret corners to be torn down. Per-
haps it has served its day. But the
honor of the name we bear-God for.
bid that we should part with the in-
heritance of our fathers.

A Muddy Road.

One day this week, as teamster was
slowly working his way through the
quagmire commonly known as a coun.
ty road between the Cummings hill
and Fossil, be espied a hat in one
of the ruts in front Of him. As the
headgear appeared to be in fairly good
condition he dismounted to pick it up.
As be raised the hat he was astonished
to hear a voice coming from under 1t
exclaim: "Hold onl That's my hat"
As soon as he had gathered his breath
and wits the teamster asked. "What are
you doing down there9" Which brought
forth the reply: "I'm in big luck to be
where am. There's horse underneath

Convict Labor on Roads.

Convict labor in road building Is be-
ing employed in Duval county, Fla,
and in North Carolina, In the latter
case s11S cents per day per head Is said
to cover the cost Of food, clothes, medi-
cal attendance and guards, as compared
with 20 cents per day for maintaining
the same prisoners in Jail. The Duyal
Good Roads association Of Florida ad-
vocates the use of short term convicta
on such work and makes the claim that
they would in this manner pay back
some of the money expended upon them,
and they would also stand a better
chance Of being called back to an honest
life than if they were made to associ-
ate with more hardened criminals In \
prison. N

BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.

Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.
A highly important feature Of the
highways question is the effect good OF
bad roads have upon the local markets
and their sources Of supply, says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities and
large towns Of the state there is de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as hay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do 30 az
far as possible; in most cases it does not.
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles Of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned as not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility Of getting profitable prices
for their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and SO farming here no longer. pays.
Now, one prime secret Of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market. The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that are so billy and
rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load for horse to draw at slow
footpace.
It is not that farms in the east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices. It
is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are so bad as to make ship
ment improbable. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent 10 the
cities and towns would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and cheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good times for all con-
>cerned. ...

The community with the best roads

good broad tire will roll it shut.
