GOOD ROADS.

Good roads are being talked about
in congress as well as in good roads
meetings all over the country and it
is sincerely hoped that there may be
wholesome and effectual national
legislation on the subject. Congress-
man Sulzer in a recent speech ended
the same with peroraticn, which
contains the every essence of the sub
ject as follows:
Good roads, like good streets,
make habitation along them most
desirable; they enhance the value OF
farm lands, facilitate transportation,
and add untold wealth to the pro-
ducerS and consumers of the
country; they are the milestones
marking the march of civilization
they enconomize time and labor and
money; they save wear and tear and
worry and waste: they beautify the
country, bring it in touch with the
city, and aid the social and religious
and educational and industrial adj
yancement Of the people; they make
better homes and happier hearth
sides; they are the avenues OF
trade, the highways of commerce,
The mail routes Of information. and
the agency Of speedy communica-
ton; they mean the economical
transportation Of marketable pro-
ducts-the maximum cost; they are
the ligpments that bind the country
in thrift and industry and
intelligence and patriotism; they
promote social intercourse, present
intellectual stagnation, and increase
the happiness and the prosperity of
our producing masses: they contrib
slitf 10 the glory of the country. give
employment to our idle workmen.
distribute the necessaries of life
4fhe products Of the fields and the
flores and the MISUNDERSTANDING
energy and husbandry. inculcate love
for our scenic grandeur, and make
mankind better and greater an
grander. Good roads will add to
our greater glory and make us all
that We hope 10 be. the most bene-
iicient power that ever blessed an
advancing and progressive human
ity."

The Democrat effort to bring
disparagement on the candidacy Of
Hon. W. P. Hubbard for congress
by associating the name OF Cover
nor W. NJ. o. Dawson and tax re-
form with. him is vain, and those
papers themselves would realize that
fact. if they should stop a moment
and review political history in the
district and state. They would re-
call that at least half of the plural
ity received by Mr.. Dawson oy>1- the
Democratic candidate for governor
was given in the First congressional
district, and Dawson was an out and
ont advocate of tax reform. Realiz-
ing these facts Democratic papers
might easily see how vain is their
effort to prejudice the voters on such
grounds. The fact is the First dis
trict strongly endorsed tax reforms
then. but they endorse it even more
strongly now. because they now
know it is a good thing for the peo-
pie and have acquired that knowl-
edge by actual experience. The
next few months will make them
still stronger in its favor.

Is certainly greatly 10 his credit.
In this respect he said:

thing for a Young Senator. ii was

that this be done. After extended

The trusts and combines, as they
are called, openly and strenuously
fought the adoption of the new tax
laws. as the Democratic papers well
know. Mr.. Hubbard was a potent
factor in the passage of those laws,
but the Democratic papers try to
make the impression now that he
stood in with the trusts and com
bines. though he put forth every eff
fort in behalf of the people to pass
those laws, Mr.. Hubbard stood
squarely and onestly for the people
then, and he does now. The trouble
is the Democratic papers who are
abusing him do not stand for the
people, or for any one or anything
else. and standing thus, if they stand
at all, they have no standing.

nor is there more than a visionary

dorsement of Hon. W. P. Hubbard

the Democrats, who were playing the
sympathy racket for Dovener, and
that too, merely to get him beat, if
at all possible, but they would have

that.

OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS


After the Republican convention
last night, IL is said, they nominated
man for councilman in the Fourth
Ward from the city of Roanoke and
left n vacancy in the Second Ward.
They should have put up good man
from Lynchburg TO fill this vacancy.
There were no nominations in the
Seventh Ward on account of CON
fusion. Perhaps they could have
gotten n, man from Keystone to ac-
cept that vacancy, and who knows.
they might have TO go TO a worse
town than Keystone yet before they
get man TO please their fastidious
desires. Such are the doings OF the
Republican convention in BIuefeld
and still the half has not been said
that might be.
