1t has been demonstrated in our
own State and in numbers of other
States in the Union, and if it works
we'll elsewhere il will work we'll
here, hence we will favor bond
issue until some better plan is Of
fered and proven by common sense
and reason at least. Now If those
who oppose a bond issue and are
sincere in their claim that they are
in favor of better roads will submit
any plans they have it might be
highly beneficial to our county. A
blank assertion TIL a t one favors
good roads but at the same time
offers a plan that has been sug-
gestei by others, and a plan that
has been proven by practical test
at some place where there is an
average condition existing, and not
on some section of road that has
previously been worked better than
the ordinary roads are, then we can
see and calculate more accurately
as to the cost. That it will cost an
immense sum to build hrst-class
roads throughout our county goes
without saying. But if our county
had first-class roads now and owed
half million dollars for the same
she would be in far better condi-
tion than she is with her miles and
miles of mud holes. Tie difference
in the cost of transporting the pro-
duct of our county for one year over
present roads and that of first-class
roads in extra time, the extra wear
and tear of vehicles and the butch
ering of teams will amount to a
vastly greater sum than any one
who has never studied the matter
would think. Figure on the cost of
delivering 500 bushels of corn to
your railroad station, distance of
three to fifteen miles, over our pres
emit roads, then figure the cost over
first-class roads and see the differ
ence, and be sure to take into con-
sideration the difference in the wear
of team and wagon. And then think
of the enormous sums the bad roads
are costing our county each year
and then you will realize that in
reality it will not cost anything to
build good roads. But il we can
build them without bonds let's have
the plan-we are waiting.

Observer, in last weeks CONNER

can not name single voter who
has changed from Taylor TO Car

claim that Carmack is gaining to
give names, then goes on to say the
truth is that Taylor is gaining
ground daily, but fails to give
single name. 1t seems to U-Know

We noticed in some of the county
papers last week (but we have for
gotten what paper or the writer's

editor of said paper for his oppo-
sition to the bond Issue for roads,
but stated that he was in favor of
good roads, but not the John Bar
leycorn kind. Now we are first,
last and all the time in favor of
better roads and are in favor of a
bond issue because we think this
the only way out of the mud holes.
But if this writer or the editor of
the paper or any other man will
offer more practical or feasible
plan whereby we can accomplish
the work of making permanent
roads we will drop the bond ques-
tion an d sjine" them heart and
hand and not withhold our pocket
book. We have been close stu
dent since this question was first
introduced in our county and we
have never seen plan offered by
any of the bond opposers that will
solve the problem. The reason we
favor bonds is because we have
seen and know of the practicability
of this way of making goods roads.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN
AND PUBLICITY

Memphis Commercial,Appeal


Evidently Mr.. Bryan is willing to
practice what Democracy breaches. He
is quite ready for the reception which
is to be accorded him upon his return
to stand or fall upon the Democratic
doctrine of publicity Of contributions
In effect. the Nebraskan, writing about
this reception, says:
Go and greet me as you will. / am
honred highly even with the sugges-
ton of such reception upon my home
coming; but as you love me, let there
be no secret subscription to the recep'
ton fund. Enter no back door to so,
licit money, and climb no crooked stairs
to reach the pocketbooks Of trusts and
monopolies, but let the people have a
hand in the game and give publicity
to the source of every dollar that finds
its way into the treasury of the recep-
ton committee"
This sort of talk, coming upon the
heels Of the Republican crucifixion of
the publicity bin for campaign funds,
is bound to have its good effect with
the honest voters Of the country. View
ed, too, in contradiction to the act OF
the secretary Of, the navy, who has
just made himself conspicuous as a
purveyor for the Carnegie trusts. II
presents the straight and open path OF
honestly as opposed to the tortuous
and crooked trail that leads to the bar.
ter and sale of political favors.
No doubt the Republican press will
endeavor to belittle Mr.. Bryan with
sneering insinuations of grand stand
ISM" and, accuse him of resorting to a
foxy" appeal to the people; but the
Nebraskan has experienced these &C.
cusations in the past, and has lived
them down, one and all, in the minds
Of the American people SO very effec,
tually that such jobs, when aimed at
him now, have neither barb to cling
with nor point to pierce.

Endorsement Of the
City Sanitary Laws.

The Pensacola Board OF Health is
! TO be congratulated upon the vigorous
campaign which it Is waging to keep
the city in a sanitary condition during
THE summer months, and its efforts
yshould be seconded by every resident
twho has the welfare Of the city at
fheart. The work accomplished so far
mas not only been the means of re-
ducing the number Of fever carrying
mosquitoes to a minimum and It is
safe to say that there Is not one this
year where there were f1fty during
the summer of 1905-but sanitary con-
'ditions. from every standpoint, are
better than ever before.
The prosecution of several Offenders
against the health laws has called
the attention OF the people forcibly to
the fact that the letter of the law
will be rigidly enforced, no matter
who the offender, and few more
prosecutions will probably result in
.stiA more forcibly impressing those
who, through carelessness or ignor-
ance Giolate the city ordinances in
this respect.
There Is but little excuse for viola
ton of the sanitary laws as the re-
Quirements thereof are simple In the
extreme. Any person who will take
she trouble to go carefully over nis
premises at least once each week,
: 'emedying any conditions not compat-
) bile with health, need have no fear
! of being called upon to explain vio-
: ations of the law in the municipal
court.
