EXTENT OF ROAD
BUILDING MOVEMENT.

The road building agitation so long
apparent in the South is beginning to
bear fruitage Of vast proportions. From
nearly every state comes the welcome
news that movements are on foot to
build great stretches of macadam road
from one state line to the other. Ad-
joining states are interested in con-
meeting with these proposed lines and
thereby not only secure state roads,
but roads that will reach from coast
to coast.
A movement is now on foot to con-
struct an unbroken macadam road
from Red river to Galveston, passing
through Grayson, Collin, Dallas, Ellis,
Hill, Mcclellan Falls, Robertson,
Brazos, Grimes, Waller Harris and
Galveston counties, total distance Of
about 400 miles. The different coun.
ties have already built about $50 miles
OF road on a direct line with the sug-
gested plans, and it is proposed that
each county along the route imme-
diately take steps to fill the gaps.
A similar movement is on foot be-
tween New Orleans and San Antonio,
and another from Memphis TO a point
in Oklahoma, crossing the state Of Ar
kansas, This last line will be a con.
nection with a plan to build a road
across the state of Tennessee.
When these plans are carried out,
which will likely be done with as lit
tie delay as possible, an impetus will
be given to universal road building
that has never been experienced.
Their practical utility will be manifest
as never before. II will then be seen
that modern roads are an absolute ne
cessity, and also that they are in reach
of every community, provided the
proper methods are employed in Sc
curing their construction.

GOOD AND BAD" TRUSTS.

The good" and bad" trust argu-
ments are very well paralleled in the
firearm regulations. If everybody were
allowed to carry concealed weapons,
some of them would no doubt use them
to good purpose. Maybe others would
make nuisances of themselves.
A good trust is one which will get
a fellow down, and then let him up and
go halves" with him. A bad trust is
one which will get the fellow down,
and then beat the face off Of him, after
robbng his pockets of all they contain.
The theory of the majority of the SUI
preme court is that all trusts be con-
sidered good till they have slugged
enough people to arouse public senti-
ment against them. The theory of the
dissenting judge is to disarm all of
them and compel them TO walk the
streets on even footing with ordinary
citizens. and with the same rights and
privileges.-Temple Telegram.

LITTLE WALLACE ORB.

One OF the saddest events of the
past week was the death Of little Wal
lace Bernard Orr, the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie Orr, of Edge. He
was born June 26, 1910, thus making
his age ten months and fourteen days
at the time of his death. Little Wal
lace was a child of perfect health.
Only three weeks ago he was taken
with measles, which caused pneu-
monia, and he became much worse
till death took him from us Friday
moring, May -, 1911. Although we
grieve for him, we know he Is safe
in heaven, where he has gone to meet
many other precious little ones gone
before. He was laid to rest in the
Old Presbyterian cemetery Saturday,
May 10. Weep not for little Wallace.
for our Lord hath surely said: Suffer
little children to come unto Me, for Of
such is the kingdom of heaven"

ENCOURAGEMENT 10 FARMERS
Thirty-five Thousand Dollars In Prizes
for Best Yields in Various Farm
and Garden Products.

Dallas, Texas, May 22.-Probably no
other state surpasses Texas in the
number and value OF premiums offered
for the largest and best yields of vari-
Gus farm and garden products raised
in the state this year. From reliable
sources the Texas Industrial Congress
has received reports that indicate a
total OF $4,000 in cash prizes, and adj
ditional premiums. consisting OF mer
chandise, seed, etc, amounting to
$4,000, to be awarded
These prizes are being given by the
Texas Industrial Congress, local COM
mercial clubs, merchants, banks and
individuals. Premiums are offered on
a variety OF farm and garden products,
but corn and cotton are the principal
crops for the best yields Of which
prizes are to be given. In value, the
$4,000 in cash offered by the Texas
Industrial Congress heads the list,
while a number of counties are each
offering premiums that aggregate
from $500 TO $1,000. Including the
members of the boys corn clubs, there
are perhaps 10000 contestants for
these prizes, and the results are GER
tain to be apparent in the total agri-
cultural production of the state for
1911.

On the first day of the present ses-

IN my judgment this Is mistake,
for there should be some way to se-

mony. and an expression regarding
matters of public policy which are the
very foundation of all political parties,
so that individual voters believing In
certain general principles of govern

I do not believe that either the re-

prohibition voters of Montana desire
TO abolish party conventions for the
purposes above mentioned.
