To the voters of this district:
Since the campaign opened for
Supervisor in the Fourth District,
| have been repeatedly questioned
on the subject of County Roads
this is matter that has perplexed
the people and the Board of Su-
pervisors for years though some
of our neighbors seem to be ap-
preaching solution of the
problem. The great trouble lies
in the fact that we are cropping
along under statutes enacted in
other generations that met con-
ditions that we have long since
outgrown. and our Legislators
seem incapable of reconciling
their views and uniting upon any
drastic measure of reform.
In this state of affairs about the
only hope for relief is in persist
ent and intelligent effort in the
direction of getting the very best
results out of the laws as we find
them. This can be facilitated in
great measure through the fami-
liarity of each Supervisor with
the common roads and bridges of
his district, and determined eff
fort on the part of each to solve
the problems presented by what
ever authority is vested in him by
existing statutes.
A great deal of good can be
accomplished by him in this way,
and he can always, | think. rely
upon the cooperation of the peo-
pie in the neighborhoods tribu-
tary to the several roads. If we
have a defective law we must
make the best of the situation by
utilizing it's favorable features in
preference to a course of non ac-
ton or waiting for something
to turn up" Community of ac-
ton between the Supervisor and
the people, will accomplish more
for "a county than all the good
roads conventions" and their high
strung resolutions. In fact upon
the willingness, interest, industry
and patriotic Leadership of the
Supervisor, hinges the solution of
the road question under existing
circumstances.
Another matter now frequently
broached, is the alleged extra
VACANT allowances by the Board.
Without criticising or endorsing
the record of any Board in this
respect, il is we'll enough to re-
member that many of the allow
ancestor fees, salaries bridges,
court costs and numerous other
things-are explicitly provided
for in the statutes with fixed limit
As to amount and purpose. There
can be no doubt, however, that
close and intelligent scrutiny of
all claims presented, will result
in economizing the public reve-
nue.. and it is the imperative duty
of the Supervisor to exercise this
vigilence. in the interest of his
people and for the protection of
the County and State.
Respectfully,
s A. DALTON.

The Virginia suffrage case, in
which Jones ct al appellants.
sought 10 obtain a writ directed to
the State Board of Canvassers,
prohibiting them from issuing
certificates of election to mem bers
of congress elected in the fall of
1902, were decided by the United
States Supreme Court ut Wash
ington without passing on the
validity Of the Virginia constitu-
ton. Chief Justicn Brewer, who
delivered the opinion, took the
position that the canvass had been
made, the certificates had been
issued, and the parties holding the
certificates had been admitted to
seats by the congress which is the
sole Judge of the qualifications of
its members. The cases were
therefore dismissed without in
volving the Stats constitution al
all, and indicates that il is little
difficult to attack the validity of q
