GOOD ROADS TREATED
BY A SPECIALIST
Mr.. femme Handles the Subject in Mastery
Manner, and Knows Whereof He Speaks.
HIS SUGGESTIONS ARE ALL PRACTICAL.

The saying of st Paul that mo
man lives for himself and no man
dies for himself, can be applied
to the means of communication
which tie two parts of county
together and make thereof a whole,
prosperously if these means are
equal to the requirements of the
day.
From time immemorial it has
been the aim of the progressive
men to better the condition Of
these mean of communication
and it certainly is to the credit OF
the Crittenden County CONNER
cial Club that one of it's Commit
tees has assigned for it's duties
the betterment of the public high
ways in the county.
1t goes without saying that no
citizen of the county exists who
does not wish for better roads
than We have today; and also that
once the absolute assurance being
given that any plan presented by
said committee will have in view
the general welfare, and not seek
to advance private interests only
the great MAORI y of our follow
citizens will give heart and hand
to said betterment.
1t is further indisputable that
all the legal mschinery-county
Judge, fiscal court, road overseers
road tax, etc, unite to put into
practical effect any plan presen-
ted.
The question is simply t h g
iwhere" and the "bow". And
there lie where the rub comes in.
OF course each one of us would
like to have a road from our door
to the places we visit on business,
pleasure or association; have that
road in as direct a line as possible
and in good condition for travel
the year abound. But the trouble
is that each one by himself is not
able to make this possible, and 80
We must combine with each other
and agree between US upon a sys-
tenn whereby all are bensfitted
aud, while apparently few are
benefited more than the majority
the ultimate result will be of equal
benefit to each and all.
In Crittenden county it is for
tunately an easy matter to defer
mine the question: where to begin
our local road improvement; since
Marion, 1t being the county seat,
a thriving CITY, with men of pluck
and push as citizens, with its ship
ping, mail, telegraph and tele-
phone facilities. its mills and it's
stores, is naturally the placs of
beginning for general movement
of road improvement.
And here it is we'll to suggest
that the first step taken should

CANAL WILL BE BUILT.
So Says the President at jacksonville,
Florida.

Jacksonville, Fla.-rhc reception TO
President Roosevelt Saturday was a
hearty one. Thousands thronged the
streets on the line OF march and the
President showed in his manner his
appreciation of the good will that was
manifested on every side. In his sd
dress he said:
Here in Florida, the first of the
Gulf states which have visited upon
this trip, | wish to say special word
about the Panama canal. believe
that the canal will be OF great benefit
To all our people. but most OF all to
the states OF the South Atlantic, the
Gull and the Pacific slope.
When completed the canal will
stand as a monument to this nation.
for II will be the greatest engineering
feat ever accomplished In the world. II
viii be n good thing for the world as a
whole, and for the people OF the 18TH
mus and the the northern portions of
South America In particular. Because
Of our especial interest In IL. and be.
cause OF the position We occupy on this
hemisphere. II Is matter of special
pride To MS that our nation. the Ameri.
can nation. should have undertaken the
performance OF this world duty.
"a body of the most eminent engi-
ncers In the world. both Americans
and foreigners, has been summoned to
advise as 10 the exact type OF canal
which should be built. Al no distant
date hope 10 be able TO announce
what their advice Is, and also the nc.
tion taken upon their advice. Mean
while the work Is already well under
way. and has advanced sufficiently far
TO enable mo TO announce with Ger.
tainty that II can surely be accom-.
plished, and probably nt rather less ex-
pense than was anticipated
But upon the last point. ms well ms
upon the question Of time. no positive
statement can be made until the re.
port OF the commission OF engineers as
TO the exact type Of canal has been re.
coived. The work IL as diilicult as II

srockMEN COMBINE.
Executive Committees Of Rival Asso-
Citations Agree to Unite.

Denver-Pressing desire for reform
measures was responsible Saturday for
bringing the two executive committees
of the stockmen's associations to a
basis of harmony. The success of fu-
ture efforts for bringing the desired
changes about seemed TO depend so
entirely upon the consolidation, that
personal differences and conflicting
theories were laid aside for the com
mon good.
The agreement ut this time is due TO
the persistent efforts of President
Hagenbarth of the national association
to restore harmony. To accomplish
this he conceded everything, making
it victory for the American Stock
Growers Association. 1t was the only
way to bring peace. as the cattlemen
of the West refused TO countenance the
packing interests on their executive
committee, so the packers had to go.
The railroad interests had been shut
out previously, and these interests will
now be dealt with from without the or
ganization, rather than within it.
Following is the full text of the
agreement, signed by the executive Of
ficers of each organization:
'First-rhe membership to consist
of live stock producing and maturing
Interests of the country.
"Second-The constitution and by
laws of the American Stock Growers
Association, modified so as to admit
to membership associations of live
stock producers, as well as individuals.
TO be made the basis.
"'rhird--One strong central commit
tee, appointed by the association thus
formed, to carry on the business of the
association.
"Fourth-Thc association to coop
crate with all allied interests through
such subcommittee as may be ap-
pointed by the executive committee.
whenever and wherever the interests
of said association and such allied in.
terests are mutual.
"Fifth-The objects of the organiza-
tion thus formed will be. to represent
the live stock interests in all matters
of general and public importance, and
to conserve the interests. protect the
rights and 10 redress the wrongs of
each and all of its members.

ROOSEVELT AT MOBILE.
Overwhelmed With Pleasure at
Warmth Of His Welcome.

Mobile, Ala.-That peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war was never better ex-
empliied than in the reception
of President Roosevelt during
his two hours stay in Mobile Mon
day evening. There was Il general
closing of the business houses and
along the route of the procession from
the union station to the stand on Bien-
Vile Square, where the reception cere-
monies took place, the residences and
stores were covered with decorations
of lights and bunting in the national
colors.
The stand was erected OH Bienville
street, facing the square. which long
before the President arrived, was filed
with a struggling crowd of citizens. 1t
was brilliant with electric lights and
overhead the magnificent grove of live
oaks formed a canopy of green.
1t is estimated that by the time the
President began his address there was
n crowd numbering 10000 people
within the sound of his voice.
He appeared to be overwhelmed
with pleasure at the spontaneity OF his
welcome. His seat was on an elevated
dais in chair which was built by the
students of technical school in
Japan.
Back of the chair was an enormous
stuffed bear, eight feet tall. bearing in
Its mouth floral independence bell
and above It's head white dove hold
ing n streamer on which was the in
scription blessed is the Peacemalter."
The bear was killed In n hunting ex-
pedition by Emperor Alexander II. Of
Russia, in 1857, according to the in.
scription on a bronze plate on the base
of the mounting.
Oliver ]. Semmes, son of the Con.
federate admiral Raphael Semmes, pre-
sented to the President and pinned
upon the lapel of his coat n handsome
souvenir badge as the gift of the peo.
pie of Mobile.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he rose TO speak. He thanked the peO-
pie for their magnificent reception and
spoke special words of greeting to the
Confederate veterans, who formed a
portion of his escort.
Referring to the Panama canal the
President said:
III we build the canal we must pro-
tect II and police 1t ourselves. We
must, therefore. bring mp and keep up
our navy to the highest point of EN-
cheney.
I'm the event Of war, the American
people must rely mainly upon its vol
unteer soldiers. While 1t is compara-
lively Il simple act to turn "A man into
quite Il good soldier. you can neither
improvise a battleship, or the crew OF
battleship. II is not necessary that
we should have a particularly large
navy, but II is necessary that, ship for
ship. 1t should be little the best in
