THE WEATHER.
Rain tonight and probably Tuesday.
IMPROVING OUR ROADS.

There is hardly a section of the state
or county from which this year as fol
many years past, there has not come a
loud protest against the condition of
the public roads. While the officials
are directly to blame. the people them
selves are indirectly responsible be-
cause they are Indifferent when they
should be working to secure better
roads, and should take more interest
in good road building.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the loss to the farmers, as well ss to
the cities and the merchants, to say
nothing Of the inconvenience to the
public and tine loss to the taxpayers,
that is the result of injudicious appli-
cation of money expended for improv-
ing the roads.
In most counties large per cent of
the roads are what is known as "dirt
roads," which cannot be improved in
a satisfactory manner as long as they
remain dirt roads. Year after year
thousands of dollars are spent in work
ing these roads, and they never get any
better. The dust in summe is so thick
that they are well night impossible, and
in bad weather the mud is ten times
worse than the dust. The problem of
better roads is one that many eastern
states have successfully solved. In
scores of eastern counties the country
roads are as smooth and durable as the
streets in our largest cities, because
the people have recognized the sdvan-
tages derived from such roads and
have Judiciously expended their mon
ey on them. We cannot expect to have
macscam or asphalt or brick roads in
McCracken county, but by graveling
them as rapidly as our money will
permit, they will become better and
better every year, aud save the tax
payers many thousands Of dollars, as
well as benefit the people of both the
city and county by facilitating travel
and promoting business. II the farm
ers would unite in demand on the
men they help elect to office and who
direct the distribution of the money
they pay in taxes, to abolish the an
tiquated methods of road improvement
and try something more substantial
and modern, they would soon find
what great benefits would result.
