ROAD BUILDING AS A PENANCE

Time was when every man was
supposed to know how to build or
work roads, and every woman was
supposed to know how to cook and
keep house The world moves; it is
now generally conceded that in
struction is necessary TO success in
either of these vocations.
Working the roads was in ear
lier times in this state sort of
penance--half play half shirk, that
was worked out in true lazy man S
fashion. under the direction of a SUI
pervisor, who owed his position to
the fact that the job was an unde-
sirable one. His qualifications for
the place were ignorance of the first
principles of road building and in
ability to get effective work out of
the men, who in obedience to a
warning gathered up as imple-
ments what garden tools happened
to be lying around and reported for
the surface and perhaps blowing a
furrow or two and throwing some
brush into the deepest mudholes the
road was considered work ed and
was left to become inches deep in
dust in the summer and more than
inches deep in mud in the winter.
1t finally dawned upon our people
that road building was a science and
the old haphazard methods We're
followed a more intelligent system
of road building in Oregon and
more will follow More perhaps has
been done in the country at large
than the public generally is aware
of There are over 100000 miles
of public roads in the United States,
and upon these, looking to their
betterment in a single year 5000
approximately $80,000,000 was ex-
pended. 1t may also be cited as
showing a national interest in good
roads that of twenty-three nations
sending delegates to the Information
al Road Congress, held in Paris this
fall, the United States sent the lar
gest delegation.
France is a good country in which
to study road building The French

questionably the most gorgeous and

of twenty-one separate and distinct

anything. The history of town prog

TUT ONE-WAY VOTE or ZAPA-
IA COUNTY.

A Texas girl sojourning in Kansas
has sent the News a clipping from
Kansas City paper in which ii is
declared that ''In the election held
Nov 3 in Seapata county, Texas,
424 ballots were cast and the repub-
lican candidates received every one
News to unequivocally deny the
truth OF the statement. she evident
ly having been sorely teased by un-
regenerate Kansas republicans with
prophecies of the early demise of
democracy in the state of Texas. or
course she knows that Texas is dem
ocratic for all time to come, and
then some, but she is a long way
from home, has no statistics at
hand and can not overcome by mere
verbal protests and feminine DE
causes the concrete evidence Of
fered by the strange and uncanny
report from "Seapata' county. The
News knows how she feels about it
and sympathizes with her fully and
heartily If the News could think of
any young gentleman in the office
worthy of being sent to her in her
exile, to hold her soft hands and tell
her personally by word of mouth
and by the eloquence of eyes look
ing into other eyes that her fears
are groundless and her predicament
not without remedy, it would re-
joice in forwarding such an ambas-
sador.
But let her console herself and
confuse the opposition with the as
surance that there is in Texas no
such county as tSeapata." Our
state is large and lovely, as our
troubled correspondent we'll knows
too large for any one, particularly
young lady with more important
| things to think about to remember
| all the names of its subdivisions,
and too lovely to harbor so gloomy
! a spot as that one would be which
should go all one way in a presi-
dental election. There is no Sea
pata" county in Texas, dear. Tell
them that-tell it to their teeth,
| only do not get too close But there
| is Zapata county here, and it is not
! impossible that your tormentors will
| locate it on the map and confound
you again with suggestions to the
effect that the error is one of tele-
! graphy rather than substance They
! may do that In fact, being Kansans
and therefore politicians, they are
almost certain to see and take ad-
vantage of such a technicality.
Would that these columns might
come to you freighted with an EN-
,phatic denial of the imputatioL mat
may be laid upon the democracy OF
zapata county But it can not be.

We are so positive that we can
cure constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail
1t is worse than useless to attempt
TO cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic. Be-
sides. their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles OF
the large Intestine of descending
colon To expect a cure you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
those organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
Iciple of our remedy evolved the la
Dor of the worlds greatest research

qualities of the remedial active prin-
ciple of the best known intestinal
