MR. JAMES S. LAKIN'S
CANDIDACY FOR CONGRESS

THE REPUBLICAN has for the past
week been closely watching the Re-
publican press of the Second Congress
sional District of West Virginia, adj
joining Garrett county to the south,
east and west, and has carefully
noted the advance our former fellow
townsman, Mr.. James S. Lakin, is
making in his candidacy for Congress.
To say that the press of the district
has warmly welcomed his candidacy
is putting it mildly indeed. In fact,
the influential papers of the entire
state appear to vie with one another
in saying nice things about him, and
there has already been column upon
column published congratulatorv to
this prominent young Prestonian
whom our people all know so well.
Among the leading papers of the
state that welcome the candidacy of
Mr.. Lakin as a solution to rather a
complex problem in the Second Dis
trict of West Virginia, i. e., the unit
ing of several factions of the party,
are the Wheeling I1teligencer,
Wheeling NelCS, Parkersburg Ne1CS,
Parkersburg Dispatch, Parkersburg
State Journal, Morgantown Post,
Morgantown Chronicle, Clarksburg
Telegram, Grafton Sentinel, Martins
burg Herald and World, all leading
dailies, and the Cumberland NeaCS, a
leading Western Maryland daily that
enjoys a wide circulation up over the
West Virginia Central. All these
papers, together with every Republic
can weekly paper in the district, are
staunch in their support of the can
didacy of Mr.. Lakin, and already
they are busily at work in his inter
est.
The Morgantown .Chr0nicJe pub
lished the other day a speculative
table giving the votes of the several
counties as between Mr.. Lakin and
Mr.. DaYis, the Democratic nominee,
and basing its estimate upon the
most conservative predition, and giy-
ing the Democratic candidate the
benefit of every doubt, it shows that
Mr. Lakin viii have majority of at
least two thousand in the district.
The people of this section of Mary
landiare indeed glad to see this young
gentleman advancing so rapidly up
the ladder of fame, and when the vote
is counted on the sixth of June there
are many people in Garrett county,
and particularly in Oakland, where
Mr.. Lakin is SO we'll known, who will
very gladly telegraph him their
hearty congratulations upon his cleo
tion to the United States Congress to
fill vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of so distinguished gentleman
as the Hon. Aston Gordon Dayton,
now a Federal Judge of our adjoining
state.
To readers of THE REPUBLICAN
across the border of West Virginia we
can only say that we have known Mr..
Lakin well and favorably for many
years past, and we heartily commend
him to the Republican party as an
able, intelligent, successful young
man, who merits every support of the
party, and who, we believe, will very
ably represent his district in Congress
if elected to the place,

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT GROWING

1t is hard to understand how any
studious man can persuade himself
that government aid to good roads is
not a national necessity, affecting all
sections of the country and classes,
and therefore demanded as good pub
lie policy. Many Of the very fore
most men of the country have declar-
ed in its favor, and the feeling is con
stantly growing that it should prevail.
OF course, here and there we find it
opposed by specious argument and
strained interpretations of the con
stitution, but this opposition cannot
stand in the face of the practice of
! the government in road building
many years ago, and at this day in
| Porto Rico. where we have construct
ed more highways il the past five
years than did the Spaniards in four
hundred years; and in the Philippines,
where we are building highways every
day in the year. There is more serious
consideration being given to the sub
iect of good roads to-day than any
other that can be named, and as a
question fraught with vital concern
to the internal commerce of the couR-
try and to its religious, educational
and social advancement, it is a sure
thing that the call for national aid
will have to be heard.
1t is not the farmer alone who is
affected by bad roads; trade conditions
are disastrously affected wherever
bad roads exist Good roads are nee
essarY to every vocation and every
interest. The cost of bad roads has
been so often presented that repeti-
ton would not strengthen argument.
| The main fact is the clear, fact that
bad roads are curse to the nation
and disgrace to our boosted Amer
icanism. There is necessity for gov.
eminent aid to better roads and it
ought to be extended with the least
possible delay. In every civilized
country but ours government has fos-
tered improved highways. Whel eyer
improved highways have been built
the people are happier and the
country more prosperous, In the
| United States there has been marvel
Gus progress Notwithstanding bad
roads. We would have progressed
| thousand fold more under an improv-
ed system Of highways. A change is
needed here. The common roads
should be made adequate to the neces-
stiles of the country. There is no
special class in the discussion. 1t is
a great economic question, rapping
| loudly for recognition, and as all
the people are involved the govern
ment should step in and cooperate
with the States in its solution. While
many prominent men are now active
in support of the Brownlow Latimer
bills for national aid, the people in
their primary capacity have duty TO
themselves to perform in the matter.
Every citizen knows how to press the
question on his Congressman. The
good-roads camp-fires ought to be
lighted in every constituency in the
States. The proposition is strong in
Congress. Let its friends get to work
and make it stronger by direct COM
munication with those we send to re-
fleet the public will in Washington.
If the people who haye made the
government what it is and upon whom
it must rely in every crisis cannot be

401 Opera House Block.
We are convinced that Mr. Birdsall
will find some difficulty in obtaining
| the man he wants even with the in
ducement of the liberal salary he of
| fers. This is a day of specialists,
when it takes a whole array of indi-
viduals to make one complete mechan-
ic or professional man. In the good
old times, which all old people look
back to as the golden age, a shoemak-
er could take your measure and make
pair shoes. Now it takes dozen
or more to do it. One man plans the
shoe and draws up the specifications;
| another cuts out the uppers; another
cuts out the soles; another cuts out
| the heels. There is man TO sew the
| the uppers on; one to put the heels on;
one to bind, and so on. Not one in
the whole line can make a pair of
shoes. If you succeed in finding a
man who can bind book it is ten to
one that he has long, gray beard.
And so with the doctors. 1t was not
in those golden days necessary to go
| to different man for each ailmenJ.
The old country doctor had conven-
lent on his.shelf a bottle of pain killer
| for stomach ache, bottle of eve wash
and various surgical Instruments and
lancets which he was ready to use up
on small provocation, and If the pa
tient had.the toothache there was the
''pullekins, with which the offend
| ing TOOTH couldIbe extracted. The
old-time. doctor.w equally at home
with all the organs of the body, and
this is as convenient as department
store. Now the unfortunate sufferer
must travel from pillar to post in
search of the various remedies he
needs He feels bad and goes to the
family physician. The family physi-
clan takes him to the surgeon, who
cuts him open to observe the vermi-
form appendix. Finding that much
slanderer affair in fine working order,
the surgeon refers him to the stomach
specialist, who applies pumps and
things. Then he has to go to the dem
tial surgeon toEgetshis teeth fixed, to
the oculist for his eyes. Each organ
has its special attendant, as if they
have nothing to@do with each other.
Like the oldSdoctor, the country ed
| itor was an "all-around" man. He
could do everything that the adyer-
tiser in Iowa requires except binding
and music, and often he was a fair
musician. 1t aided him in his bust
ness if he could take leading part
in the singing school. He started in
life as a printers devil and learned
every branch of ithe business from
