The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-04-06

Mr. Sam &. Lancaster, OF Jack
son, who enjoys national distinc-
tion for his achievements IN the
construction of good roads and
streets, was in Union City and ad-
dressed the County Court upon the
subject last Monday. His speech
was in substance as follows:
81 am glad to be here on a sub
ject of the greatest possible I'm.
portance to your citizens and the
greatest possible public improve
ment that can be made in your
country. 1t is not necessary to
argue whether you will have good
roads but how to make them.
"Bad roads cost as much as good
ones, and good roads can be made
without leaving posterity in debt.
The generation born to- day will
not feel the burden of bonds issued
for road making. You will have
a dozen citizens to one and each
farmer and citizen interested in
transportation yer the public
highways will receive ten times
the value for his work.
I'm my county the benefits have
gone beyond anything ever ex.
pected. Those moving in and buy
ing lands are the best citizens we
have. Our young people love to
come in touch with the throbbing
world. The best blood is in the
country and citizens are coming
from counties around us, paying
established prices for lands which
have increased from 100 to 300
per cent.

and grayeled roads and they are
built along modern lines.
''The phenomenal growth of the
agricultural interests of our coun-
try within the past few years as
the civilized world, and
we are beginning to realize that
we must have better roads over
which to move our great produc-
ton. Comparing the cost of trans
portation they are also astonished
at the tax which the bad roads
entail.
I'm every'state of the union the
question of improved roads is be-
ng freely discussed.

]. G. SCHENK LEAVES FOR CANADA

After residence of more than
twenty years, during which time he
was engaged in the harness business,
Mr.. j. G. Schenk on Monday of this
week, placed his family on board the
train for western Canada, and today
he followed them with car load OF
stock and household goods.
Mr.. Schenk desires the Herald to
state for him that he will consider his
residence in Sank Centre as one of
the pleasant recollections of his life,
and desires to thank the citizens of
Sank Centre and the surrounding
country for the very liberal patronage
they have accorded him during his
many years of business associations
with them.
He also takes this method of bidding
those of his friends whom he did not
meet personally, good bye.
While regretting Mr.. Schenk's de-
parture from our city, the Herald
joins with his numerous friends in
wishing him abundant prosperity in
his new location.

THAT DEBATE

The Washington correspondent
Of the Pioneer Press quotes Con-
gresham McCleary of the second
district as saying regarding debate
that was proposed by the Secretary
of the Faribault County Agrl-
cultural Association between the
congressman and the editor of the
HI erald, to be held during the
county fair at Blue Earth as follows:
81 stand unequivocally, and
without suffering, for the policy
Of protection and reciprocity as
enunciated in the Republican plat
form of 1904 as it has been in
terpreted by President Roosevelt.
If Mr.. Eddy opposes that platform
as interpreted by the President l
shall be glad to meet him in joint
debate, not only at Blue Earth but
in every county in the Second con-
gressional district. 1t seems only
fair that Mr.. Gutterson should be
invited to participate in this
proposed series of debates"
All will at once notice how
adroitly the congressman brings the
Presidents name into the discus
sion, skillfully seeking to convey the
impression that he is the spokesman
of the President in this matter and
that anyone opposing his views is
opposed to the President. We did
not know that the President had
''interpreted" the republican plat
form of 1904. We did not even
know that it needed Interpretation.
We were and are of the opinion
that it meant what it said and that
anyone could understand it.
For our part we are ready to
stand by the proposition we made
to the Agricultural Society through
its Secretary. 1t is not necessary
for us to re-state our position. We
will, however, add one more pro
position to those already stated by
us. We will affirm that the
doctrine Of tariff and reciprocity as
we stated it, is not only in accord
ance with the republican platform
of 1904 but also in accordance with
every other enunciation of the
republican party in every platform
ever promulgated by it and that it
is in accordance with the true
principles of protection. If Con-
gresham McCleary or any one else
thinks it is not so in accordance or
that it is contrary to protective
principles or wrong in itself we
will meet them at any time or place
and try and maintain our position.
Of course if Congressman McCleary
thinks our position is in accordance
with republicanism and right in
principle there is nothing for US to
debate.
AS far as Mr.. Gutterson is
concerned that is matter with
which we have no concern. Con-
gresham McCleary can debate with
him when and where he will but
when man debates with us he
can't debate with any one else at
the same time on the same plat
form
