WE notice that other counties
over the State have taken steps to
issue bonds of from $4,000 to
$150,000 for the purpose Of con-
structing good roads, and we see
no reason why such a move should
not be made by the people of Ben
ton County. Fifty thousand dol
lars would be proftably spent if
the country roads were improved,
and we believe the increased value
of farming lands and the numer-
GUS benefits to be derived by both
town and country people would be
worth at least 100000 to Benton
County inside three years. This
is matter the county court would
do we'll to investigate, and while il
is too late to secure authority from
the general assembly to make such
bond issue, it is not too early to
agitate it for two years hence. We
would like to hear from some of oul
country citizens on the subject.

THE urgent need of better roads
throughout the county and also of
better country school buildings has
been thoroughly demonstrated the
past winter by the fact that wealth
er rendered the roads so bad chill
dren could not get to and from
school in several communities, and
then in many instances buildings
are so badly constructed it was al
most impossible to make the chill
dren comfortable therein, much
sickness among pupils resulting
therefrom. Good roads and good
schools go hand in hand.

A news item from Ohio has ex-
cited the keenest interest among
politicians. 1t is to the effect that
Senator Hanna is to no longer en-
Joy the position of supreme dicta-
tor of Republican affairs in Ohio,
but must, as a result of his defeat
in Cleveland by Mayor johnson,
share his dictatorship with Sena-
tor Boraker and George B. Cox Of
Cincinnati. This information is
of especial interest because of the
fact that the Ohio Republicans
hold their State convention in June
to select a candidate for governor
and Mr.. Hanna has already select.
ed his candidate, Myron 7. Her.

Senator Hanna turned down Gen.
eral Dick of Akron, now member
of Congress. General Dick has
long had gubernatorial aspirations
and there are those who believe hi
will land the plum this year de

the mere suggestion Of a factiona
fight in Republican ranks strike
terror to the Ohio Republican pol

strength of Tom Johnson.

The merchants and business and
professional men Of Camden who
have interests here and who do not
want to see the town take a back
ward step should give every posi-
bic encouragement to maintaining
a good corporate government here
in the future. Good, conservative
men should be selected to manage
municipal affairs and guard the in
terests of property holders as well
as maintain law and order in our
midst. "a house divided against
itself can not stand" The saying
is a true one, and Notwithstanding
some ill-feeling has been engen-
dered by recent acts of the general
assembly, it behooves us as citizens
and neighbors to stand together
for the good of the town.
