Please excuse me for imposing on
your space and time.
There is one question that / think
should be brought before the pub
lie in an open way.
Now, / would like to have the
Board of Supervisors explain their
policy in letting our old bridges
that need repairing go until some
one either is hurt or loses some oil
their stock on account of the dan
gerous condition of some of our
bridges.
There is talk of new bridges now.
Why not repair the old ones and
make them safe, then talk of new
ones? There are three bridges be-
tween Barland and Martin, on one
of our main roads, that are unsafe
for any kind of a heavy load tc
cross The member of Dist. No.
S has been asked about them, but
to no avail.
Now are we to continue to pay
taxes and still have to cross bridges
that are unsafe and our board spend
the money for new bridges at the
expense of the old ones3 Would it
not be more business-like to save
the old ones irst9
Come to the front, Mr.. Board,
and explain your reason for SO
doing. Yours, ETC.,

DON'T FORGET CONGRESS.
1t Is Very Important that 1t Should
BE Republican,.

In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four years,
and which is now on, the election of
President is apt to overshadow all other
interests. This ought not to be so. The
President is the head OF the executive
branch of the government, but the legis-
lative branch is equally as important.
Republicans should remember that it is
as important to hold Congress as it is
to elect the President. The election Of
Judge Parker would mean much more
than the induction of his personality into
that high office. His election would mean
the election OF a Democratic House Of
Representatives, and this would be most
unfortunate, because:
First, the Democratic party, composed
as it is OF all the distracted elements of
the country, is not capable of success
fully administering the affairs OF this
government. 1t has not the capacity to
deal with the great problems that now
confront us. Second, a Democratic
House Of Representatives would mean
that the entire legislative machinery OF
that body would be placed in the control
Of the South; the Speaker, the committee
on rules, and all the important commit
tees, as well as the c~hairmanships Of the
same, would be composed largely of
Southern men and the great interests of
the North would be subordinated to
Southern policies. In answer to this it
may be said that a Democratic House
could do no harm, as the Senate would
still be Republican and could prevent
any unwise or radical legislation. But a
Democratic House could prevent Republic
can legislation, and great harm might
result from that. The election Of a Re.
publican Congress is scarcely second In
importance to the election OF a Republi.

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
Why Roosevelt Is More Popular thar
Parker.

The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt, in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says:
Judge Parker has few OF the attri.
butes of popularity; Theodore Roosevelt
has them all.
Parker is timid; Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt is independent.
Parker represents 40 policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt is one OF
the acknowledged progressive statesmen
of the century and his record is the rec.
ord of the sunshine years of militan.
and advancing Americanism.
"As there is practically no one to Wig
orously oppose there as no one to active,
IL defend Judge Parker as a political
standard bearer. Theodore Roosevelt in.
vites the fire of partisan enemies and at.
tracts to his support thousands Of pat
riotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is a weak candidate, an
unwise candidate, an unfortunate candi

date for the presidency. A life of judi
cial monotony and exclusion from poht,
ical affairs does not appeal to the allie
glance of partisans. Theodore Roosevelt
is a strong, a vigorous, an invincible
candidate for the presidency. He is a
man OF action nominated for an cleo
torate OF Astounding energy, force and
progress. He is, especially, the idol or
the young men of the country.
at is, therefore, not at all surprising
that as the voters contrast these two
candidates they should be irresistibly
drawn to one-to Roosevelt-and should
be repealed from or become indifferent
to his antagonist, Parker. Such is the
present trend Of the campaign and 1T Is
decidedly favorable to President Roose-
welt. No reasonable doubt of his cleo
ton exists or is entertained by anyon
familiar with politics, Democrat or Re-
publican"
