The immortal J. S Negro Guest

Congressman Bartholdt has deiv-
ed into the past and found that
Thomas jefferson once dincd with
a negro, himself courteousIy inyit-
ing the negro tc sit down at his
own table. This will, Of course,
surprise many Democrats, for the
average Democrat swearS by
Thomas jefferson without knowing
much about him. How many have
read the life of jefferson! The
great disadvantage Of barking back
to a personality that enlisted 100
years ago is that ones information
about it is always limited.
When we begin to talk about the
immortal So-and-So RS guide for
our own times it becomes neces-
sary to post up; and after having
posted up it is generally discovered
that we have drifted far away from
those times and those conditions
for them to be of the slightest &C
count in furnishing rules Of con
duct for the present. But if the
Jefferson worshipers insist on cit
ing him as their great exemplal
and paragon, there he is, in the
role which, enacted by President
Roosevelt, has thrown them into Il
juvenile fit of Mysteries. To use II
rude bat expressive vernacnlar,
why are they ''chewing the rag
until even their sympathizers are
decidedly tired of the subject. 1t
is getting old. The most unfor
forgetful can't keep up the steam
of indignation forever over the in
cident.

those who know most about the

that in no other direction does the

But the opponents or national

national aid of vastly greater d.

probably right. However that
may be, it appears certain that OBJ

ture, do not consider it worth while
to enter a denial. 1t has become
the accepted method of get
ting IN Office. This does not mean
however, that the people of Wash
ington county are as rule sus-
sceptible to such influence in their
political conduct. A large major
lty of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis hold their citizen franchise
inviolahle Cto corrupt influences
and would resent any imputation
against their honesty but however
good their intentions. the appIica-
ton of their honesty to county
politics is set ut nauyht and dcticd
by the few who are susceptible to
booze and Doodle influences. The
man who enters the field as can
d;datc for county office considers
only the corrupt vote and bends
his whole energy to control it.
Party lines are set at naught, the
decent voters on each side being
expected only to bring the party
vote up to the point where the cor
rupt vote will give the deciding
voice. The fact that these condi
tons protrude themselves more
and more openly with each cleo
ton begins to make it imperative
upon the people to combat them.
SO far this paper has been openly
alone i'll this fight against booze
aud Doodle domination in our coun-
ty politics, though on the quiet VIC
believe we are sustained by Il large
portion Of the public sentiment. 1t
becomes Il question for the people
to deal with and it is our purpose
to arouse them to Il demonstration
of their desire for the elevation Of
local politics above the booze and
Doodle level. While the present
day office seeker may recognize in
these conditions only ''practical
politics." with the moral and up
right citizen it can only resolve it
self into question whether or not
outrageous political in,'ecency shall
be continued in this community.

1t is a strange, not to say re-
markable, inconsistency on part of
Missouri Democrats to land the
successive administrations in one
breath and condemn rinosterism
and boodling and corruption in the
next. Only one party has had
political control in Missouri in
more than thirty years-the Demo-
cratic: and whatever abuses and
evils have crept into the governing
functions during that period can
be attributed to the political con-
duet of no other party than the
one which has held the offices.
While Democrats, in paIliation of
their party's offense may allege
that the Republicans would have
been just rs corrupt and unmind-
full of public welfare, there has
been no opportunity for the latter
party to demonstrate the truth of
such an allegations: and the fact
does remain that the Democrats
have been aud are guilty of great
wrong doing in their conduct of
the states affairs. This fact is adj
mitted by the Democrats in every
county in Missouri where tie par
ty has been free to give an express
sion of opinion on the subject, and
where the anti-boodle candidate
for governor has carried the coun-
ty primaries. If the state admin
istration is not to be condemned
along with the actual boodlers and
corruptionists, the contention of
the ring is correct and boodling is
not an issue in the state. But as
the people seem to have come to Il
definite conclusion about the mat
ter. let them not be unmindful Of
their duty, and also bear in mind
the fact that because the Democrat
ic party has been dominated by Il
corrupt ring it does not involve The
Rep,blicuns slsr.

Progress of the Good Road Move
ment.

The movement IN favor of a ma
tional appropriation to aid in the
building Of roads appears to he
making great headway. This is
proven Try the number and enthu-
siasm of its supporters, and even
more strikingly by the consterna-
ton of those who are openly or Sc
crctIy opposed to the scheme.
When the agricultural bill came
up in the national House of Re
lresentatives recently remarks
were dropped by number of
speakers which indicated that let
tcrs. petitions and resolutions de-
manding the passage of the Brown
low road bill are coming from all
sections. The same, thing happen
ed again when the bill came up in
the Senate. Senator Bailey, of
Texas, who is opposed to national
cid, said it was easy to SEQ what is
coming, and addressed this sic
nifcant remark: II will live, if |
live as long as my father has done,
to see a federal officer probably
supervising all the county roads in
the country"
While mona of the so-called good
road bills have come up for action
in either end of the Capitol, the
friends of the road office in the
Department of Agriculture have
scored an important victory IN Sc
curing III the Senate an increase of
s45, 900 in the appropriations for
road Investigations and expert
mcnts, including the building of
object lesson roads.
This is national aid on small
scale. But it is of great import
ance from an educational point of
view. Heretofore this objec, les
son work has been conducted in
the following. manner: An appli-
cation is sent in by some expert
ment station or agricultural col
legc, or by road officials or public
spirited citizens of some progress
i've community asking the govern
ment to cooperate i'll the building
of short stretch of road. The
government usually furnishes moth
ing more than au engineer or an
expert to make plans and super
wise the work. ad-making ma
chinery is usually furnished free
of charge by the manufacturers
for the sake Of the advertisement it
gives them. The railroads also
take a hand and transport the ma
chinery free. The institution or
community making the application
has to foot the bills for labor and
materials.
Among the benefits flowing from
such work are: (D that it gives an
excellent opportunity toinvestigatc
and test the various local materials:
(2) that il gives the people of that
locality Il lesson in the methods of
road building and in the Use of
road materials aud machinery: and
! 81 that the building of short
piece of good road usually leads to
the building of a large mileage of
improved road in the vicinity. TO
