Washington county has been
authorized to issue an additional
100000 of bonds for road build
ing.
Wise county has decided TO vote
on the proposition to issue 500. 600
bonds for roads.
In addition to these thirteen
counties which have already issued
bonds for good road, the counties
OF Tazewell, Scott and Lee and one
district in each of the counties Of
Orange, Warren and Albemarle
are considering the question. With
the exception of Buchanan, Glou-
ceSter. Greenesville. King George.
Prince George and Warren, every
county has applied for State aid.
There are some counties notably
lIenrico and Chesterfield, which
have Independent resources and are
developing their own highways.
In IIenrico for example. $40, 900 Is
now being spent on good roads and
$4,000 on concrete bridges. and
Chesterfield Is spending $50, 600
for the same purpose.
Beyond the small amount Of
State aid applied for by Clarke
County, nothing has been done for
the uplift of the public roads
except such as could be done with
the small amount of money received
by slight increase in road taxes
in three districts Chapel, Green
way and Longmarsh). Battletown
district is in the same old rut in
which it has operated for many
years.
Chapel, Greenway and Long
marsh districts deserve great credit
for the work they have done with
their limited road leyies, for every
dollar has been spent with great
care and intelligence.
In Battletown district, thelargest
district in the County, very little
has been done.
When will the taxpayers of this
County realize that we have the
greatest quantity of the finest road
making material in the State and
use every effort to see that money
Is secured for an intelligent use
of liz
If a bond issue is not popular.
then the road levies in every dis
trict in the County should be in
creased to the maximum allowed
by law, and the money should be
spent in intelligent construction
and Improvement of our roads.
Good roads cost money, bat they
bring results in exact proportion
to the amount spent and the intel
ligence with which it is applied.

JUDGE GETS PRESENT.
Friends Spring a Surprise on Judge
Randall Saturday Afternoon.


Judge Randall was given the surprise
of his life Saturday afternoon when he
was called to the Elzs club rooms and
presented with Christmas gift pro.
vided by his numerous friends. The
gift was in the form of a double decker
baby carriage for the use and conven-
fence of the recent arrivals at the
Judges home, appropriately decorated
for the occasion. Peter Fisher congrat-
ulated the Judge on the thoughtfulness
of his friends and made the presenta-
ton speech in very happy manner.
After he had recovered from his sur
prise the Judge returned thanks and
expressed the wish that he would some
time have an opportunity to reciprocate
by contributing for similar gift for
every one present. Many of the most
prominent people of the city gathered
at the club rooms to take part in the
ceremonies and to congratulate the pop
ular Judge on his assuming his proper
place at the head of family.

WILL FIGHT CASE.
Racine Sheriff's Claims for Fees to be
Contested in Supreme Court.


Despite stories which have appeared
recently IN the Racine papers stating
that the decision of Judge Tarrant of
Milwaukee IN regard to the contract
between the county of Racine and ex-
sheriff Roberts is not to be contested.
District Attorney Fulton Thompson of
Racine stated this morning that such
is not the case but that he had already
filed papers in the Supreme court and
intended to fight the case to the limit.
This is the case in which an ex-sherif
who had made contract in full for his
services with the county board sued to
recover certain fees allowed him by
law and was upheld in his contention
by the lower court. Kenosha county is
deeply interested in the outcome of
these proceedings for there is little
doubt that this county stands in pre-
clsely the same situation with refer
ence to this fee system as does Racine
and should the Racine ex-sheriff recover
his fees certain ex-sheriffs of this coun-
ty would appear to have a valid claim
for further pay. Whether or not any
OF them would think it good policy to
attempt to recover from this county is
another question.

INGALLS, SENDS OUT LETTER

Manufacturers of Kenosha and in
fact throughout Southern Wisconsin
are greatly interested in the proposed
industrial insurance BILL Assemblyman
Wallace ingalls, of Racine, is one of the
committee engaged in framing the new
law, and the last session of the COM
mittee will be held at Madison, Wis,
on December 80. Saturday Assembly
man ingalls, sent out the following cir
cular letter to every manufacturer of
Kenosha and in this section of the
state.
s It may be of interest for you to
know that our legislative committee on
the subject of employers liability has
practically completed a measure for
submission to the next legislative SEES
sion in January.
"And it is believed that the manu-
faeturers of the state will desire to
operate under it. This bill is almost
certain to pass, but will probably not
go into effect until July LIST.
"And may I further suggest that our
committee in connection with the bill
mentioned, expect to amend the present
insurance laws if necessary, thereby
providing a simple and easy method of
forming mutual insurance associations
by local manufacturers for the carrying
of accidental insurance at actual cost.
II therefore take the liberty of call
ing your attention to this matter, think
ing that it may be of value to you in
carrying or renewing future accident
insurance.

in Germany and England / found that

Worried by Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson continues to worry
the republicans of New Jersey. His
is the dominating central figure in
every passage of arms in that long mis-
governed state.
In addressing his crowded audiences
DR.. Wilson has shown the homely com
mon sense, the power of driving home
his point by apt illustration, that dis
tinguished Abraham Lincoln. He has
made phrases that will last. His 10y
riding corporations" is classic. His
saying that direct primaries ought to
be direct and ought to be primaries,
while the thing so called in New Jer-
sey is neither, is in the best manner
of Thomas B. Reed. His compar-
ison of the republican machine to a
stalled automobile chug-chugging
loudly but going nowhere, is wit illum-
mating fact, says the New York World
There is nothing surprising in DR.
Wilson's success on the stump. A man
of native ability and broad culture
whose life-work has been to make
things clear for boys and young men
of all degrees of intelligence should be
able to address larger audiences effec-
lively. The strange thing is that the
republicans think it necessary to feign
surprise when he does.

A Republican on Insurgents.

The president of the League of Re-
publican Clubs, John H. Hammond, 1s
a stalwart of the most strenuous par
tisan type. He hates insurgents as
much as old Uncle Joe does, or, if it
were possible, perhaps more so. The
league at It's late meeting-which, as
far as the number of delegates pres
ent, was a failure and 'frost'-was
addressed by Mr. Hammond, who paid
particular attention to the insurgents
whom he divided into five classes.
First, the calamity howlers, who aim
to create political chaos; second, the
unintelligent intellectuals; third, the
unctuous rectitudists; fourth, the sub
urbanites, who merge into. the last
class of insurgents or progressives."
Mr.. Hammond portrayed each Of the
first four classes OF insurgents in a
scornful way, but gave a good deal of
soft soap to the last class, probably
because their numbers are greater and
their votes are therefore more neces-
sary, to republican success. AS this
republican leader holds a most i'm
portant position in the republican par
ty organization, and is said to be very
ambitious to hold high office, 1t is well
for all classes of insurgents to know
his partisan bias and his efforts to
Eead out of the republican party those

The Nominee for Congress.

The democratic congressional
committee of the Fourteenth district
has made creditable selection in
the nomination of Clyde H. Taven-
ner to I'LL the vacancy on the con-
gressionaI ticket occasioned by the
withdrawal of Hon. E. w. Hurst, the
primary nominee. While Mr.. Taven-
ner is a resident of Rock Island
county, where he was born, he has
spent many years in Washington as
special correspondent of some OF the
best newspapers of the country, hav-
ing in this way gained touch with
public affairs that is as advanta-
geous almost as an experience in
congress. By his service for The
Argus, apart from his own knowledge
Of local affairs he has familiarized
himself with the things of great mo-
ment and peculiar concern to this
immediate locality.
He is student of the tariff ques-
ton, has written much on the sub
ject and in addition 10 his regular
press contributions is the author of
various text books that are accepted
in many parts of the country as
authoritative.
He is a logical reasoner, is full of
energy, is a man of deep and firm
conviction, understands, through his
experience as a newspaper man al
ways on duty at Washington, as well
as Congressman Mckinley does, the
needs, requirements and Importance
of this community as we'll as of the
entire district
In a word, "Tav." is, through ca
pacity, equipment and experience, just
such a man as would make a model
congressman.

Banking Statistics.

Judging by the statements of the
national banks, Aug. 81, it is impossi
BILE to escape the conviction that some
of those corporations are skating on
very thin ice. Loans have increased
s37 100000 since June 80, and $685.,
27S,2S6 since Sept. 1, 1909. Individual
deposits have actually decreased SAL
557,944 in the last two months, so that
loans now exceed deposits by over
$500, 100000.
Normal safe banking requires that
loans should follow the decrease or
increase of deposits. 1t is evident
that many borrowers, both in the
cities and in the country, have not
been able to pay their loans at ma
turity, and that the banks have been
compelled to make loans to their Gus
toners beyond the usual limit of safe
ty.
Probably some of the farmers have
been unable to pay their loans or have
renewed them because the prices OF
cotton, wheat, corn and oats have not
been up to their expectations and they
are holding for higher prices later on.
In the cities and towns, as well as
in the country, there has been a long
strain on the pocketbook from the high
cost of living, and this has naturally
depleted the average OF deposits. That
is why the political tide has been run
ming so strongly against the republi-
cans who still stand out for the pro-
tective tariff with its resulting high
prices

Trust Gases POSTPONED,

The supreme court Of the United
States is virtually at a deadlock as far
as the trust, the railroad, the corpora
ton tax and the employers liability
cases are concerned; all Of these great
cases have been set over for hearing
in January. The Gompers-Morrison-
Mitchell case, involving the boycott
and contempt cases, was reassigned
for hearing on Jan. 16.
The reason for this action is that
the court lacks two justices to com
plete a full quota, and 1t is supposed
that the court is so evenly divided that
it is necessary to have the full quota
to arrive at a decision.

The spectacle of a former presi-
dent of the United States forsaking
the dignity Of a no less exalted posi-.
ton than the first private citizen OF
the land, and descending to the
abuse and vituperation of a political
stump speaker under any circum-
stance, is not one that the average
American who stops to consider, will
view with pride. 1t is all right for
the ex.presidents of the nation to
continue to take an interest in pub
lie and political affairs, but there is
a line somewhere at which they
should halt and set an example, and
as good a place as any is the line
that distinguishes between the broad
minded and the blatherskite.
