1909 the amount of the annual road
levy for the purpose Of opening and
keeping in repair the public roads of
each mag!secrial district is n district
fund to be expended in the district
lin which it may be collected; and

raised for road purposes IN the coun-
typ"
Under section SO Of the road law o.

Of greatest benefit to the citizens Of

Is Listened TO BY Big Crowd
at the Cabell County
Centennial.
M'coRKLE A SPEAKER
Also at the Homecoming
Some Extracts from
Reeds Speech.

Secretary OF State Stuart F. Reet
and Ex-Governor Maccorkle werc
among the speakers at the cabel
county centennial and homecoming
at Huntington the Fourth. There
was a big parade and other features.
Secretary Reed said in part:
Some one has said since the dawn
OF civilization, there has been but
one republic of letters. but one re-
public OF science" This republic OF
ours Is to be the republic of mans
humanity to man. That idea is the
outcome of centuries of struggling
upward to the light"
The march of embattled leglons to
victory was a soul thrilling event in
the medieval times, but the tri-
umphant march of an idea that
makes for humanity will be greeted
with the huzzas of the twentieth
century.
Humanity expects great things Of
America. In human energy we are
! the greatest country in the world.
We are building up a republic and a
civilization on a higher plane than
has ever been tried before. We
have had waves of stormy men, blus-
tering politicians, sudden wealth and
expanding commercialism and cos
mopolitanism unexampled in the
history of the world.
We have, as heritage from the
past, the world over. never ending
hattie for justice between men. On
the one side are the rights of the
comparatively few owners of gigan-
tic corporations; on the other the
rights of the many. For time we
stood in fear and trembling as these
great combinations gathered force.
They became at once the wonder
and menace OF civilization. The
world watched and waited and then
began to philosophize. At last 1t
dawned upon men that the "old or
der was changing through natural
process OF evolution. The whole his
tory of the nineteenth century re-
veals certain trend toward organi-
cation and combination In spite OF
the strenuous opposition Of the great
school OF conservatives.
Every commercial nation on earth
is face to face with these new con-
ditions. To agitate, to complain. to
cry for return to the days that
are past are equally vain and fool
ish. We live in the twenty century,
not the fifth. No man, no political
party can any more nullify a cos.
mic tendency than it can change the
majestic sweep of Gods providence.
DR.. Lyman Abbott says THE age
OF competition is giving way to the
age Of combination. There is no
power that can stop It," If this be
true, we have new world problem
to solve. These tremendous COM
binations must be controlled and
given direction that they may serve
and not enslaye humanity.
Tho People are Partners.
Our government must realize that
all Its citizens are, in a certain
sense, partners IN these vast under

quired vast wealth and used it to
make the world brighter and better
Society welcomes all such to the
great arena of commerce and bust
ness. But the new spirit OF the age
demands that organized greed and
seifishness shall neither pollute the
fountain of our liberties nor cast
the blighting penumbra Of plutocra-
cy over the ballot box of a free peo-
pie.
The race Is moving rapidly for

Man the Unit of Society.
Government is distinct organism.
1t is not a conElomerate mass of as
piring individuals. 1t has Its laws,
its customs, its conventionalitles
and its conscience. No government,
no civilization can maintain any
higher standard of morals or living
than is maintained in the Individual
character of the elements of the
community. The sociologist resolves
the state into the county, the county
into the township and the township
into the family. Here he reaches
the last division and introduces us
to the human unity-the immortal
soul-the basis of human society.
With the integrity or stability of
this unit of civilization must stand
or fall the structure OF that civili-
zatlon.
The purpose of civilization is the
perfecting of human souls. Per-
feet souls would give us ideal
homes. ideal homes would make an
ideal township, ideal townships
would make an ideal county, ideal
counties would make an ideal state.
and an ideal state fills the destiny OF
a perfect world.
The precious jewel of our civiliza-
ton is the home. Strengthen it aud
glorify it and you strengthen and
glorify the entire republic. De-
file the home and the whole
structure of the republic is weaken
ed and defiled.

tion which We cherish fade and de
cay.
The nations OF the past neglected
TO mete out justice to man and the
world knows their story. If we ask
why Egypt, Babylonia, Central
America and other civilizations have
passed away leaving scarcely yea
tige of their former glory we must
answer by saying they failed to adj
just the balance between the great
conflicting forces in human lives!
Greece developed shadowy sense OF
justice but later she sacrificed that
principle on the altar of beauty and
art and her doom was sealed. Rome
was magnificent, Phoenecia was opu-
lent and Persia strong. but their
judgments were not just and today
their history is traced in the vague
traditions. which, along with mem
cries of Carthage, Nineveh and Tyre

Honest Elections, Fair Primaries.
II you should ask me to mention
some of the unjust things we are
permitting in this country under the
sanction of law, would call your
attention first to the fact that we
claim to have n government run by
the people and for the people. Some
times the people have very little to
do with 1t. West Virginia is proba-
bly, not so derelict as some other
sections of the country but every
state should deal Justly with its cit
liens. l hope to live to see our
beautiful state pointed out as one of
the most law abiding states in the
Union. We must change some of
our methods. We must safeguard
the purity of the ballot and demand
that political parties give every voter
a fair opportunity the day of the
primary.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 to be used in an effort to
Danish the San Jose scale from West
Virginia. But there are some other

nate. refer to the man who sells
his vote and that still more "scaly"

Believe me. these reforms are
coming. The time is not distant
when We shall have good laws and
they will be respected and obcyed
alike by the millionaire, the mendi-
cant, the politician and the probe

Public opinion has shaken the tenn
pie of Mammon and demanded that
a curb be placed on seEfshness and
acQuisitiveness, the two greatest
stumbling blocks in the pathway OF
human fraternity.

an allwise Creator has given to some
men the genius of money making

The Chamber OF Commerce inquiry
is largely of a business character. It's
members want to find out, for the

sible. The chambers committee has

the District. If this end is to be ac-
comPlished, the producers must give
their testimony; otherwise the com
mittee's conclusions may not be fair
to all the four interests concerned.
The Washington Times, at the re-

committee, extends a cordial invita-
tion to the milk producers Of the Dis

appear before the committee and pre-
sent their side Of the milk controversy.
