GENERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID

For a hundred years Congress has made
great appropriations for levees, jetties and
other river improvements, and for harbor
needs, and has erected at immense cost in the
larger cities magnificent public buildings. This
has gone to benefit particular interests. the
whole body Of the people having to pay the
BILL The inland country roads have received
nothing, although they are the primary factors
in all commerce the means of life and stabil-
ity to city and town and to railroads, manu-
featuring industry and every trade and calling
known to man. The country roads are to the
farmer, the lumberman and the herdsman just
what the railroads, the rivers and the high seas
are to the manufacturer and the merchant.q
The growth of the United States has been
marvellous and SO many improvements are
needed to meet the demands of busy and
progressive people that state tax system alone
cannot be made adequate to maintain road
conditions suitable to the daily travel and
traffic. This is an undisputed fact, otherwise
we should now have splendid highways in all
the states.
uh MN 0n States wond suef long Under Inc
present miserable road conditions if they were
able to help themselves. In all the years of
our history as a country the cost of road con-
struction and maintenance has fallen upon
those least able to bear it. If the roads were
for the exclusive use of the farmers, and the
use Of them was of no benefit or advantage
and profit to the towns and cities, 1t would be
all right to compel the farmers to build and
maintain them, or do without them. But no
sane man believes any such thing as that.
This Government would at once decay and die
if there were no roads between the farms and
the towns and cities.
The proposition is as plain as truth can be
that nothing contributes more to the develop
ment and sustenance of nation than good
wagon roads and it is therefore right that
Government should aid in their construction.

it should become law. Write to Hon. W.. P.

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD vetoed the objectiona-
bic Dawkins bill, passed by the Legislature
last week, and his veto was sustained by an
overwhelming majority. And yet certain
labor organizations are declaring vengeance on
the Governor and threaten to start political
party of their own in order to get back at him.
These men are making great mistake and
they will find it SO in the end. It is plain that
the people generally are with the Governor in
this matter and will sustain his action.

Buy farm, young man. No matter how
small it may be; buy farm and prepare it so
that your land will provide you living"
SAYS Kansas newspaper. Twenty years
from now the man who owns his farm will be
independent and will have at his command
the means of a livelihood. The expansion of
manufactures cannot go on forever and there
will come day in this country, as there has
in Others when the supply will exceed the de-
mand and the only absolutely sure occupation
will be farming. Buy farm while one may
be had.n That advice applies here in the East
as well as in the West. All else may fail, but
the land cannot run away or dwindle in value.

Hon. NICHOLAS LoNewoRTH is said to be a
much better housekeeper than his young wife,
who has been heard to declare that she dislikes
housekeeping very much. The Congressman
is.an expert with the chatting dish and at more
than one charity affair has covered himself
with glory as an amateur chef. Such being
the case he is likely to become more popular
with the multitude than his wife. A woman
who admits she hates housekeeping should
not get married, for such dislike is practically
a hate of home life.
