Morgan County COmmissioners Have
 Ordered Bond Election.


 Decatur. Feb. --(Special) )-The Board of County Commissioners of this county have ordered an election to take place on March 30. for the purpose of voting on the question of bonding the county for s260,000 for the purpose of building pike roads over the county.
 This election was called soma days ago for March II. but the County Com missioners thought best to change the date of March 30. in order that the people of the county might have the more time to consider the matter.
 There is but little doubt but that the election for good roads will carry, as a large majority of the people of the county favor good roads and they say that the only way to have them is to bond the county to get them.
 The public schools of Morgan Coun- ty have improved very much during the past few years. There are many rural free delivery mail routes in the county and in order for the children of the county to get to school and in order that the mall carriers can get over the county it IS necessary to have good roads. With pike roads and with fine system of public schools and the free rural mail routes this would be one Of the best counties in Alabama.

Daily the propagandists of Socialism spread this doctrine of paternalism. Truth to tell. to the superficial and the lazy--even to the poor man. or the unfortunate out of work--the notion that somebody else or some public in- stitution should care for him and save him the worry and exertion of looking out for No. l is peculiarly catchy. And so the ranks of the Socialists have gained some in numbers in recent years. But such paternalism must flourish on incidence and the deadening spirit of improvidence. Only the man willing to foreGo his powers. rights, possibili- ties and ambitions as an individual subscribes enthusiastically to the idea that the community mhst furnish him hls livelihood Courier Journal
