RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to remove from our midst our be-
loved brother, James K. Davis, which
sad event occurred on Tuesday, May IS,
1911, we bow in humble submission to
the dispensatiou of the providence of
God. We cherish his memory and try
to emulate his acts, and remember his
true devotion to the Masonic order.
Bro Davis was made a Master Mason
within the body of Altine Lodge No.
AZ, F. & A. NJ, in the year 1889. He
was a devoted brother and member of
his Lodge, having enjoyed its myster-
les and loved its principles, and hav-
ing finished his work on the Masonic
Trestleboard, when the Grand Master
of the Universe called him to rest, he
was ready as Master Mason. He knew
the length of his cable tow, bounded
his desires and worked upon the
square.
Therefore, be it resolved That the
members of Altine Lodge, No. ATT, F.
q A. NJ, wear the usual badge of
mourning for 30 days as token of re-
spect for our departed brother, and
these resolutions be published in the
Statesman Democrat and Sequachee
Valley News, and spread upon the re-
cord of this Lodge, and copy be fur
nished the family of the deceased.

The Public School here has been re-
duced to Primary Grade, the COM
missioners doing this because of the
nearness of the High School, which has
a preparatory department. The ac-
commodations are insufficient, the Sc
quachee school house being simply a
miserable place in which to tutor the
young mind. Internationally this town
is not advancing, and now the course
is diminished to the primary grade
only. Why not abolish the school here
ANYWAY and save further trouble?

SPECTACULAR RUNAWAY
WITH LITTLE DAMAGE

The horses belonging to Chas
Harrison, farmer living in the Sand
Hills, became frightened on North
Olive about one o'clock this after
noon and running through the bust
ness section of town ended their
dash by overturning the light wagon
to which they were hitched, at the
Union Pacific crossing on Broad
way.
Mr.. Harrison, who had lost con-
troll of them was thrown from the
wagon as they turned from Olive
street and the madly running horses
with the empty wagon caused much
excitement as they passed through
the down town district. At the
Union Pacific crossing large pile
Of timbers blocked the road where
the approach is being repaired, and
in swinging around these timbers the
wagon was overturned and slightly
damaged. The horses were caught
In front of the laundry.
Mr.. Harrison received several
bruises and a sore knee from MS
all from the wagon, but was other

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Public Education ON Their Benefit
an Essential.

In a recent issue of the Kansi
. City Star appeared an editorial u
der the heading; Now what wi
Kansas dor" The editorial goes Q
to say that every county in Kanss
may have better roads II the couI
ty commissioners will but follow th
statutes, designate the county an
township highways and assess tn
tax levy for their maintenance"
"0f course" the Star continues
"the commissioners will not do thi
in counties where the people ar,
satisfied with mud roads. Publ,
sentiment will govern the character
of the roads,"
The article goes on to say i'm.
passible roads, streams spanned by
tin bridges, highways lined with
weeds and brush, all go to indicate
the standard of the SURROUNDING
community for enterprise and pub
lie spirit. 1t says the thrift of the
community and the standard which
governs their living may be Judged
by condition of the roads.
THAT kind of law" concludes
the Star, fought to insure good
roads in every part of a state like
Kansas"
The statement that public senti-
ment will govern the character of
the, roads, is in the main, correct,
but 1t Is not just to put upon the
people the whole blame II they are
satisfied with bad roads; their senti-
ment rules in the end 1t is true, but
that sentiment is governed largely
or wholly by education. Nine cases
out of ten the people who are sat
isfied with poor roads do not know
the advantages that they would Sc
cure. from good roads or they would
not stand for the poorer kind one
minute longer than 1t would take
to make a good one. 1t is a we'll
known fact that where good roads
have been tried once the people
never revert to the use of the bad |
Kind. 1t is also fact, proven from
avery point of view, that good hard |
public highways are a great benefit
o any community, both financially
md educationally. /
The law puts the road question in
he hands of the people entirely; /
hey may improve or not as they
ee fit; they will not be forced to
pend cent on their roads II they
re satisfied with those they have.
Their sentiment will govern the
ighways, but 1t is the duty of
hose in power to show the people
therein they will be benefited by ;
