GREAT cOMMoNER'S REMARKS GAN BE BROUGHT HOME WITH PECULIAR FORGE TO CITIZENS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.

A speech of the great commoner, w. J. Bryan, made in St. Louis some time ago, can be brought home to the people of Jefferson county in an important nan ner. Here are some of his expressions:
 '"fhe expenditure of money for the per- manent improvement of the common roads can be defended Q) as a matter of justice to the people who live in the country, @ as a matter of advantage to the people who do not live in the country, and (3) on the ground that the welfare of the nation demands that the comforts of country life shall, as far as possible, keep pace with the com forts of city life.
 'The improvement of the country roads can be justified also on the ground that of the producers of wealth, ought to be in position to hold his crop and market 1t at the most favorable opportunity. where as at present he is virtually under com pulsion to sell it as soon as it is ma tured, because the roads may become impossible at any time during the fall, winter or spring. Instead of being his own warehouseman the farmer is com pelled to employ middlemen, and share with them the profits upon his labor.
 'I believe, as a matter of justice to the farmer, he ought to have roads that will enable him to keep his crop and take it to the market at the best time, and not place him in a position where they can run down the price of what he has to sell during the months he must sell, and then, when he has disposed of it. run the price up and give the specuator what the farmer ought to have.
 '"rhe farmer has right to insist upon roads that will enable him to go to town, to church, to the school house, and to the homes of his neghbors, as occasion may require; and. with the extension of rural mail delivery, he has additional need for good roads in order that he may be kept in communication with the outside world.
 "A great deal has been said, and prop erly so, in regard to the influence of good roads upon education. In the con vention held at Raleigh, N. C., the ac- count of which I had the pleasure of reading, great emphasis was placed upon the fact that you cannot have a school system such as you. ought tO nave un- less the roads are in condition for the children to go to school
 And as you study this subject you find it reaches out in every direction; it touches us at every vital point. What can be of more interest to us than the schooling of our children? What can be of more interest to every parent than bringing the opportunity of educational instruction within the reach of every child? It does not matter whether a man has children himself or not He may have the kind of family that they say the graduates of Yale and Harvard have, averaging about three. Or. he may have one large enough to excite the ad- miration of the President. No matter whether he is guilty of race suicide or race flood, no matter whether he has few children or many, every citizen of a community is interested in the intel lectural life of that community. Some times I have heard people complain that

WASHINGTON PARTY GIVEN

bessemer February 23.-(Special.)- Politics in this city are beginning to warm up considerably and it is thought that before the executive committee arrives at date on which to hold the primary there will be a good many ap- plicants out for the numerous posi- tions. Several names have been mem toned in connection with the position of city clerk, and it is possible that opposition will develop to Clerk Stubbs when the time comes around.
 So far, no one seems to be inclined to run against Mayor Rush, but it is not known just what the next few days will bring forth. As stated before in these columns it is almost a certainty that there will be severaH men in the field for the position of chief of police, and it is believed that Chief Wallace will have pretty big fight on his hands.
 Several names have been mentioned in connection with the different alder manic positions and while it is thought that almost every one on the present board will stand for reelection, 1t seems to be the opinion of a good many that each of these positions will have several applicants.
 Up to the present time, nothing has been heard from Chairman Huffman as to what time he will call the commit tee together for the purpose of de- ciding on the date for the primary, but one of the members of the committee stated yesterday that he was under the impression that Chairman Huffman was holding off to see what the city coun- cil would do with regard to the adop- tion of the new code. As will be re- membered, an ordinance was introduced on last Tuesday evening for this pur- pose and the committee to which the matter was referred will make its re- port at the next meeting of the coun- oil
