An Explanation

Mr. Wagner's "SimpIe Life" may be all right but
it has no place in modern business life. Quick deter
mined energetic action coupled with genuine Roosevean
nerve and an everlasting hustle is the life the success
full business man must lead. He must needs play the
limit of strenuous effort get lost by the wayside
No time for The Simple Life" 1t takes nerve to slash
and hamper the prices the way The Peoples Warehouse
has been doing this month, but we were forced into it.
With new 100000 stock the road and no place to
display it, we were compelled to resort to extreme
measures, and do it quickly We enter the third week
of this Greatest of all Clearing Sales with the grandest
array of fresh clean, desirable bargains ever offered
anywhere. We have hammered the prices down to
bedrock, and now make one supreme effort to make
room for our magnificent spring Stock which is now
arriving.
In few weeks we will display the largest and
best selected assortment of High-Class Merchandise
ever shown in this great Inland Empre--a truly great
metropolitan stock OF goods worthy of PendetOn, and
one that should make The Peoples Warehouse famous
throughout the land. In the meantime
Are you getting your share OF these bargains?
Do you realize what saving this great sale
offers you?
Can you afford to miss these savings?
Remember, every article in the house is now
reduced.
Sale continues another two weeks.

Bran and Good Roads.

Il is reported that when Col. Bryan
reached Clinton. this state. last week,
to lecture before the chauraUqua, he
was presented with a petition in op-
position TO hard roads. and asked TO
oppose hard road legislation in this
state. This action was a piece of i'm
pudence, even if the petition was head
Ell by ex-Congressman Warner, and
Col Bryan showed his usual good sense
in not referring 10 il.
The question OF building good roads
is one which must appeal TO every
local community and cannot be made
either a national or a political issue
There are portions OF Illinois where
hard roads can be cheaply construct
ed, there are other portions where the
expense Will be very great There are
no portions Of Illinois. however where
the roads cannot be materially imprOv-
ed without any greater outlay than is
now expended.
There has never been in the state
any concerted action looking TO state
control and state aid in lettering the
highways. until within the last three
years. The present executive. coming
from the city Of Chicago. where the
people have only indirect interest in
the country roads, has most wisely
undertaken 10 aid the farmers of the
state in securing improved highways.
Certain persons have not waited for
the results Of Untried experiments, but
are seeking 10 open up a fight against
imaginary expenditures and policies
which they assert are to be carried out
Strange as il may seem. there has
never been any general discussion in
this state of the question of road max
ing. In some districts there has been
given 10 the matter conscientious study
and careful attention followed by a
systematic enGeavor. and the result
mas been beneficial. In the majority
Of the Districts, however, the same old
plans are carried out, and bad roads
and wasted revenue are the result. l.
has been the policy in this state 10
leave the control of the highways to
the people There is no danger Of a
change in that policy.
The first question in road improve
ment is the cost. Into this enters the
first cost Of the Improvement, the ben
eft to the farmer. and the increased
value OF his lands and his ability TO
reach the markets at all times. The
people of Illinois are without any in
formation in these points. and for this
reason IL is easy for the demagogues
70 insist it Will cost all a farm is worth
To build a good road along one side of
it. The last legislature took the initial
step 10 ascertain what viii be the COS,
of building good roads. If the com
mission II be appointed can. in the
limited time between now and the scs-
sion Of the next legislature conduc1
experiments successfully, they Will be
able to give the people sufficient infor
nation as to the cost Of good roads so
each community can decide for itself
whether it prefers 10 move on dry land
or step in the mud
In the meantime the people. the men
who viii have to pay the taxes. Will dc
well not 10 be worried by the harpings
Of demagogues or paid agents of manu-
facturers of road-making machinery.

concessions TO the enemy in the inter
