suits have not been satisfactory, and
the commission OF public roads are
OF the opinion that future expert
ments Will result In the discovery
OF some material better adapted for
the purpose than any that has yet
been tried.
During the famous autocar tests
last year In tho Ardennes the entire

ABOUT CONSOLIDATION.

Even those who do not agree with the com.
missioRers in consolidating the school districts
OF the county must necessarily admire their
courage and concede the honesty OF their con-
victiou. Neither man has aught to gain in
that consolidation and from threats of the op.
position it would apprar that If either OF the
three is a candidate for Office at the next cleo.
tion his action is certain to lose him votes
That twothirds Of the people were and are
against consolidation was known to the COM
missioners, but they themselves were con sinced
of its desirabity and when it came to q choice
OF insttuting consolidation or redistrcting the
county, they bravely decided to consolidate and
trust TO time to vindicate their action To
have redistricted would have given only par
tial equalization OF the taxes, while consolida-
tion gives absolute equalization and, in their
Judgment many desirable conditions impossi-
BILE under the separate districts.
The REPUBLICAN is codfdent that the
commissioners, confronted by the law and q
grave perplexity, acted on their best judgment,
and wisely. THE REPUBLICAN is also confident
that much Of the opposition to consolidation is
due to transformation and lack of information
and that consolidation in action will convince
the public of these facts quicker than they
could be convinced by argument. For these
reasons we would suggest that the opposition
lists bear their disappointment with such COM
posture as they can muster and give consoda-
tiop fair chance. We are certain that II con-
solidation proves TO be what its friends claim
for 1t, most of those who oppose IL now will
admit their mistake and join heartily In sup
port Of the new institution; II consolidation
proves the failure the opposition fears, THE
REPUBLICAN and every sane man will demand
return to the old system
Just word about the new board. 1t is
composed OF the five most capable men the
commissioners could pick out-men who be-
lieve in consolidation, men who are known for
their general ability, honesty, and integrity Of
purpose. 1t will be noticed that the president
OF the board Is democrat and that, as II hap.
pens, the smaller, rather than the larger, towns
are represented on that board. 1t looks like
square dealt is square deal, and will be
square deal all the way through so far as the
commissioners and the board are concerned.
III consolidation Is a failure these men will
prove tiff 1t is a success these men will dem.
onstrate it to the satisfaction OF nine tenths of
the opposition. Give them your hearty sup
port.
