West Hooking For pikesi

Laurelville, o., March 27, 1908.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT:
We would like to speak through
he column of your paper about
pro and cons on the pike question
which seems to be causing some
unusual excitement and not enough
due consideration by fair minded
people in regard to exact nature
of the course prescribed by the
law in matters of this kind.
The law family says that each
township must have as much pike
proposition to the amount Of
taxes paid by such township
Now then if we bond the county
for 5000, 900 and even allow the
enormous sum of $4,000 per mile
for piking. Perry township will
receive s miles, Salt Creek 5 and
Benton nearly 5 miles. Would
this be of any benefit to the land
owners of these townshipsS Sure
ly, surely any one ought not to
hesitate for moment to answer
in the affirmative. Of course we
have professional kickers just the
same now as there was in time
memorial and as there always will
be in the future, but then they are
lust the ones that will not stand
with their hands in their pockets
and look with disgust on the
pixies when they are completed
but will be more than glad to spin
over them in their fine carriages
and say to their distant relatives,
"We have pixies" andInever once
thinking of the man that said,
''We killed the bear"
But let them kick; it takes al
kinds of people to make worlc
but we earnestly believe that th'
majority are not kickers and tha
in few short months we will have
the pleasure of riding over pike
to our county-seat.
Now there is another class tina
object to pixies; these are th'
ingrates. If they want to stant
still and not try to advance witt
civilization for fear it will take ,
few pence from their Golfers. LIE
them slumber, disturb not theil
tranquility of peace.
The cycle of time is fast ap
preaching some of US and some
day in the near future we will al
submit to its keen edge and irres'
istabIe call. What then will be Of
benefit to man in this world
had we not better enjoy some OF
our hard earned wealth by having
good roads. Had we not better
leave old Hooking beautiful roads
that our posterity and future gen
erations can point TO with pride,
as the home of their ancestors or
will we leave our mud roads as
they are and keep condemning the
trustees and supervisors for not
having better roads.
If some of our kickers and in
CRATES would sooner ride in the
mud than on pixies why in the
name of common sense do they
always drive first to one side of
the road and then the other in
stead of straight through the mud.
"a man told us 1.-THE other day
that he would not vote for pixies.
Why we asked? "Oh, we'll, -"
he said, 81 am running q fairly
good business and never have any
use for the roads" Now let's see
if he has any use for the roads
Won't more people come to your
little village if they have good
roads instead of bad roa d 8.
Won't it increase the value of
your property as well as the farm
lands by being brought in close
connection with your county
seat.
We write this not for the sake
of argument but for honest and
fair minded people toi weigh
and consider.
Very Respectfully,
A TAXPAYER.

The Sea of Sahara.

French engineers have declared that
It is perfectly feasible to convert the
desert of Sahara into vast lake. thus
opening to commerce great regions OF
the interior of Africa which can now
only be reached by long. tedious and
dangerous caravan Journeys. They say
that large portion of the desert lies
below the level of the Atlantic and that
by digging a canal 10 let I'm the waters
Of the ocean the great change could be
effected easily and at cost which
would be small compared to the bene-
fits which would accrue. If the whole
desert lay below the level Of the Allan
tic the flooding of 1t would create sea
more than four times as big as the Med
iterranean; but. as the Sahara Is com
posed of elevated plateaus, mountain
ranges and depressions, only part
would be covered with water when the
waves of the ocean were let in, and the
new sea thus formed would be an ir-
regular body of water probably Of
about the same size az the Mediterra-
mean. Great commercial cities would
at once spring up on it's shores and
trade and civilization strike at once to
the heart of Africa. The sea OF Sahara
may never become a reality, but in any
event 1t 10 a gigantic and pleasing
dream
