1t is taken for granted that
every citizen is interested in the
discussion OF the good roads ques'
tion and the proposition that the
government of the United States
shall cooperate with the States
in highway construction and i'm
provement. There are always
political questions of Importance,
of course; but the question of good
common roads is paramount to
them all as an economic PROPOSE
ton, because it reaches all classes
and callings in town and country.
1t is pregnant with interest to
the consuming population OF
towns and cities, and to railroads,
manufacturers and tradesmen as
well. But the weightier c0nsid-
GRAFTON is, that church, school and
farm interests must inevitably be
retarded while road conditions re-
main as they are to-day. If the
American home is to be preserved
the American farm must be fos-
tered. The logic of this deduc-
ton will readily present itself.
If ignorance is the parent OF SUI
perstition and superstition shuts
out the light from the soul that
should be free, then the progress
of civilization and the wholesome
growth of the religion of the
Lord depends upon the universal
spread of education in the land.
The higher schools and colleges
are doing a grand work, but the
free common schools are the more
important, because they are the
schools of the masses in which
are laid the deep and lasting foun-
dations for coming lives of use
fulneSs and for the betterment of
mankind. The common schools
are the schools of the rural popu-
lation. Whatever tends to better
these schools, to make them
stronger and of higher curri-
culum, to give greater efficiency
and better discipline, and to make
them easily accessible all the
time, should be the concern of
every patriotic citizen. Nothing
can possible conduce so much to
these results as improved high
ways. Neither rural church or
school, nor yet the farm, can
flourish where impossible roads
abound, and if these cannot flour
ish our free institutions will soon
orlate topple aud fall The ques-
ton of national aid to good roads
is one the government cannot af-
ford to ignore much longer. The
necessity for it is so appar-
ent that it is without the domain
of controversy. Statesmen and
philosophers know that good
roads develop good people. I'M
provement OF highways means
not only advancement of CONNER
cial interests, but also moral well
fare. The highways are the
paths along which civilization
and development move. The
proposition embodied in the
Brownlow-L atimer bills to have
the nation aid the States has al
ready been favorably reported by
the Agricultural Committee of
the United States Senate. ANY

The Mills Plan and the Veto.

OF course, If our contemporary, tho
News Leader is right, it will be foolish
to longer delay the passing of the Mills
ordinance, but we shrewdly suspect that
the same forces that have so long and so
Intellectually struggled to get the Mills
bill enacted have been more successful
in leading our friend, the News Leader
TO accept the statement that twenty-sx
council.nen and sixteen aldermen favor
the Mills plan. Our information is ex-
actlv opposite. and 1t Is noteworthy that
if the News Leader is correct In Its state
ment, the supporters Of the Mills plan
have at least been lukewarm, since they
have not been able to muster enough
votes in three months to make their opin-
ion effective. If the supporters of the
Mills plan have what they claim, why
did they promise to enlarge the Mills
lines If only those lines are flrst adopted?
And why do the leaders of the Mills
forces openly say that their desire is to
humiliate the Mayor by overriding his
veto? And what has occurred since the
Mayor vetoed the Mills plan to cure the
obvious defects that it possessed?
AS matter of fact, the present strug-
gle, though it has men on both sides who
strongly adhere to wider and narrower
expansion. yet has been cqlorcd by u
spirit OF agufgonlsm to the Mayor, and 50
been made ,.noro of personal than a
public issue.
The part of wisdom and of public SER
vice Is TO adopt compromise measure
that will cure the patent defects of the
Mills lines and grant the people the re-
!ief that thoy need.

Be Of Good Cheer.

we believe that many man and many
woman In llfes struggle have gona
down In despair for the lack OF timely
word OF good cheer; nay. We believe
mat some men and some women have In
their desperation destroyed themselves be-
cause there WAS none TO give them a
seasonable suggestion OF comfort ana
hope. TO most of us there comes a
time "when all things seem against us to
drive us to despair; when hope Is gone.
when we feel that life Is not worth living
and when we would fain lay down the
burden and be at rest. At such time.
we need the help OF sympathy and
friendly encouragement We need a word
of comforting assurance that there Is n
light beyond the clouds and that the
darkest clouds by and by pass away and
reveal the light beyond
Such sympathy and optimism generous.
~ bestowed are the sweetest sort of
charity, far better than dime or a
dollar cast thoughtlessly into the out
stretched hand OF the beggar
spoken in Kindness may put new life into
downcast man and pilot him out OF the
maze of desnond into the glorious !sh,
of hope and happiness.

Questions and Answers.

The Danvile Register puts questions
to us. Referring to the fact stated In
our columns that Governor Montague in
his Manchester speech made a bold de-
Tense OF the Corporation Commission and
Judge Crump and threw down the
gauntlet to Senator Martin 1t says:
There may be information available on
this subject of which we know nothing,
but II there be such information, out
with 1t. When and whore did Senator
Martin attack the Corporation Commits
sion?"
We did not say that Senator Martin
SION" But he has cast reflections upon
It, In his speech at King George Court
house. he said:
Even the great Corporation Commits.
sion has been discredtcd in Il way that
must bring the blush to every thought
ful cheek, 1t was, TO say the least, un-
fortunate that the president Of that COM
mission should have been In any way a
beneficiary from the fees paid by those
appearing before that body. My compet-
Tor might do well 10 keep his eyes on the
graft nearer home and give himself less
