ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

Nothing would add to the wealth
of McCracken county by preserving
it more than building permanent
highways. President Roosevelt in his
most recent address has defined the
national policy of conserving the ma
tional resources by forest reserva-
ton, preservation of the grazing land
and the development and permanent
Improvement Of the great internal
water highways.
AS the complement Of this national
activity, the counties and states
should permanently improve their
roadways, so that the farmers may
have easy access to the markets at
all times over roads that will not
cause their horse flesh and vehicles
to deteriorate. By this means the
rural free delivery Of mail may be
extended, so that farmers may keep
up with market quotations.; the far
mers may reach the market when
prices are highest, hauling the maxi
mum load and means Of communica-
tion may be kept open for the So
cial development of rural commune
ties during the winter months when
work is slack. The city man IS con-
stantly improving his condition, by
adding to the comforts and eonven-
fences Of life; and the country man
should. at least, have the benefit Of
good roads.
In no other way could as much
material benefit be realized to the
residents of the county through a
bonded debt as by improving the
roads permanently. We believe the
people should not be frightened by
the fact that the court house or the
ian might be destroyed by FIRE. Of
course. casualties are always posi-
bic. but public works should not be
DELAYED by reason Of the possibility
of the improbable. McCracken county
does not need a new court house and

John Barrett, the new director of
the bureau of American republics,
tells a good story on himself Some
years ago he was asked by friend
to make a speech at a big barbecue
which was to be held at a distant
town.
His friend was to have been the
principal speaker, but owing to illness
was unable to attend; so he sent Mr..
Barrett instead. He telegraphed the
chairman of the barbecue that John
Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, would
deliver the address of tL@ day"
The chairman, being acquainted
with ministers OF only one kind, was
astonished that Mr.. Barrett should be
sent. When the time lame for the
speech he went to the front of the
platform to introduce the speaker.
After consulting the telegram again
to be sure Of the name. he said:
1T gives me great pleasure to in
troduce the principal speaker OF the
day. The Rev. Rev. John Barrett, ex-
missionary of Siam. win now speak"

won't for decades. A new jail, Il we
need one, viii not cost much.
Besides this, the permanent I'M
provement Of county roads by bond
issue, Is going TO reduce the drain on
the taxpayers Of repairing roads each
year. A permanently improved road
Will not need repairs once in five
years. Once all the roads are perma-
nently improved ana substantial
bridges are built, the money we
raise and spend each year on doing
over again the work we did the
year before, will be saved to the
county, and will, not only pay the
interest, but viii rapidly erase the
principal of the bonded indebtedness,
if properly taken care Of by sinking
fund.
There Is one precaution, however,
the fiscal court overlooked in order
ing the election. The bond issue
should provide for commission Of
disinterested freeholders to assume
charge of the expenditure Of this
fund of 100000. We have every
confidence in the fiscal court officials.
but it is always best in going before
the people with a proposition, call
ing for the expenditure of a large
sum of money, to forestall any sug-
gestion by the opposition of Interior
motives in raising the funds. A prop
erly constituted commission, more
over could more economically than
the fiscal court, expend the money,
as the magistrates have other pub
lie duties besides their private ones
to perform, and have political OBJ
legations resting on them, that might
interfere with the best possible SER
vice.
BY all means, give us a sufficient
bond issue to realize our hopes of
permanently good roads, and give US
a commission to spend the money
for us.

him to meet her the next morning,
which he did. She told him, he said,
that the good thing was Runyan,

stein said he advised her to take the
money to the Trust company, and tell
the officials where Runyan was. She
replied, Kirkstein said, that she
would return the money to Runyan

not.
