what we have seen, or read
about, or heard from other PEG.
pie. But we have seen some
mighty good roads, and we have
read that it costs all the way
from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile. to
build them, and we have heard
people say that good roads are a
benefit to any community. no
matter what they cost. If our
friend insists that a road should
be built through the middle of
Iatt lake, and can get anybody
to help him engineer the propo-
sition, we promise right here
and now that we won't oppose
him.

Rushing the Model Roads to a Finish.

We learn that Contractor +. T.
Constant this week transferred an
outfit Of eighteen teams from For
rest Hill to Selma, in Grant parish,
where they are now at work ON that
part of the model road leading fron
Dry Prong to Rochelle. This is said
To give him force of one hundred
mules and 70 or 80 men now at work
on this road.
The twenty mile stretch of road
from Colfax 10 Pollock is now prac-
tically completed. Also the fifteen
miles between CoIfax and Dry Prong
are completed. One highway is used
for seven miles east of Colfux, and
then the rond forks, the easterly fork
going to Pollock by way OF Bentley,
and the other fork going in north
easterly course, taking in Dry Prong,
Selma, Georgetown and Rochelle, in
the order named. The main stretch
of the road from ColIax to Rochelle
being 32k miles long, while the branch
lending to Pollock is about IA miles
in length.
II We have good weather from now
on, the outlook is that Contractor
Constant will have the model road
completed to Selma by the first of
January. In any event all the work
will be finished in the first few weeks
in 1912.

The State without a Veto.

In all the union there is but
one State that does not give to
its governor the power of veto,
and that State is North Carolina,
one of the original thirteen. /"
In that State there is no going
behind the enacted will of the
two bodies that make up the leg
islature. Whatever comes to the
governors desk stamped with the
approval of the two houses must
be accepted as law. The COVER
nor may suggest and advise, but
that is as far as he may go. No
written word or withheld sigma
ture of his may keep a legisla-
tive enactment from becoming a
part of the states statutes.
This leaves the North Carolina
executive shorn of his greatest
power; but it also relieves him of
much responsibility. If bad laws
are the fruit of a legislative ses-
sion he runs no risk of losing
popularity by multiplying them.
He does not have to lie awake o.
nights thinking up reasons for a
veto on the one hand or justifi-
cation for it on the other. He
takes a lesson from the first
chapter of Genesis in shifting
the blame, and with his index
finger levelled at the legislature,
ne says to the people: They
did it, ! am blameless. .
North Carolina seems to have
gotten on all these years very
well without a governors veto
ing power, yet to the other
states it has seemed a wise pro-
lection to what might be called
wildcat legislation. A veto can
always be set aside by the right
proportion Of legislative votes,
so if a law is very wise and de-
sirable it can be passed over the
veto. If, on the other hand, it
is erratic and has been enacted
in the heat Of passion or excite
ment, the veto is the peoples
safeguard.
But perhaps in North Carolina
they always elect model legis-
lature.- Surely, under the cir
cumstances. they need to be
much more careful in choosing
their representatives than in
choosing their executive. Mem

A Campaign Note of General Appli.
cation.

The political meetings being
held throughout the city could be
shortened and made more inter-
esting. 1t is a mistake to allow
more than three-fourths of the
time to poor speakers, who, as a
rule, are candidates for the mi
nor Offices, and allow these patri-
otto souls to talk the audience out
of the hall or into a state Of ner-
vous collapse before it has an op-
portunity to hear the big gum
of the evening. Most of these
small-fry candidates rehearse
their speeches daily in the wood
shed of their respective places of
abode and go to the meeting
thoroughly convinced that they
are a Demonsthenes or a Patrick
Henry and soar for a long and
weary hour into the blue empy-
rean. They should be given ten
minutes to vent the feeling surg
ing within their noble bosoms,
but when they attempt to talk
beyond the limit the hook should
be vigorously applied in the in
terest of the suffering public. -

Every man prides himself on
his sense of justice and right,
yet a great many will force the
newspaper publisher to consume
time and money for stamps in
writing to them for their sub
scription when it is past due.
The year is drawing to a close,
and if you are in arrears with
the Chronicle, please settle up,
and don't levy the tax on us of
having to write to you about that
dollar.

w ling Offensive Things to Papers.

The bane of the newspapers is
to get rid of the thoughtless and
offensive things that correspond
ents will write about. We had
three different inquiries last week
about statements that appeared
in communication written from
Howcott last week signed Xxx. f"
and one from Lincecum three
weeks ago signed Buster"
The writer signing Xxx" sent
us a note last week saying:
Please correct the mistake of
Mr.. John Graham being married,
as ! have learned it was a mis-
take since last writing. . We al
SO have complaint about other in
accurate and unsatisfactory state
ments in that same communica-
ton.
We are always glad to receive
letters from correspondents, but
we would caution them to be sure
and only write facts. Don't
write us anything about some
body going to see his best girl,
because we always cut it out. A
fellows best girl this week may
be some other fellows best girl
next week.

Road Building and Damage Suits.

DeSoto parish residents are
threatening to bring damage suits
on account Of the building of the
lhpdel road through their farms.
Ve courts, if they follow the
4Vnmon sense method of admin
tering justice, will recognize
that the building of such a road,
nstead of damaging a mans
farm, is of the greatest benefit.
Eut, unfortunately, the courts
don't follow the common sense
method of reaching a decision. =
Shreveport Journal.
There is a definite statute ap-
plicable to all cases of damage by
the building of model roads in
Louisiana. and the decision of
the courts in such cases is so d.
rected and fixed as to leave scar
cely any room for controversy
over the matter. Under this law
each owner fixes the amount of
damages which he may recover,
by the valuation he places on his
property when he gives it in to
the assessor for purposes of tax
alton. Several cases have occur
ed in Grant parish in which par
ties threatened" to bring suits
for damage by reason of our
model roads running over their
property. In every case, how
ever, when the plain provision
of the law was pointed out to
them, they accepted the valua-
ton fixed, and our police jury
settled the matter without fur
ther controversy.

An exchange gives an incident
that illustrates the impossibility
of telling where the trouble re-
sulting from a mortgage will end.
A man mortgaged his farm to
buy his wife a pair CT earrings.
The wife took in washing to pay
the interest on the mortgage,
and the first day. lost one of the
diamonds in the suds, and tried
to hang herself in the barn, but
the rope broke and she fell on a
$3.50 Jersey COW breaking its
back.

Don't forget one thing, and
that is your subscription to the
Chronicle is due in advance. If
you are one month, two months
or six months behind, this APP
plies to you. The year is draw
ing to close, and you should
not put US to the trouble and ex-
pense of stamps to write to you
about that dollar you owe.

The Editor Completely Knocked Out.

- @SsAsOA ~v"kASsSAy hhVSnco Vuss
In another column will be found
an article, Unique Ideas on
Road Building" from our friend,
R. L. Parish, who completely
knocks the editor out by propos-
ing to debate the good road pro-
position with him on the hustings.
We wilt, we cave, we acknow-
ledge the corn, we throw up the
sponge, and we admit we don't
know enough to debate the ques-
ton at issue.
We don't know how much it
costs to build a mile of model
road; we never built a mile in
our life. We don't know how
much profit the contractor is
making on any mile of road he
is building in Grant parish; we
never had the nerve to ask him.
We don't. know why somebody
did not under bid him, when the
contract was auctioned off to the
lowest bidder. after having been
twice advertised; we never heard
OF friend Parish or anybody else
being in the field and ready to
give bond for the faithful build
ing of our model roads. We
don't know whether it is best to
build model roads on section
lines, or catercornered like the
the State engineer has laid off
some parts of them. We don't
know whether or not the road
ought to run through Iatt lake,
or whether people will ever live
in the middle of the lake; we
have never seen any such roads
or any such people.
And now, since we acknow-
ledge how little we know about

ELECTRIC Line
A SURE THING
Stock Selling Fast In Road Between
Enderlin and Fort
Ransom

Plans looking to the construction of
an electric railway line between En-.
derlin and Fort Ransom, the latter
an inland town in Ransom county,
which have been contemplated for
some time, have advanced to the point
where it is practically assured that the
work will be done. A large amount of
stock has been sold in the company
and the promoters are quite enthusiast
tic over the success they have met
with.
Another electric line that is being
discussed is being planned to. connect
Grand Forks and the 500 Railway at
some point North of Grand Forks.
This line would open up twenty miles
of some of the best farm lands in the
northwest. ~
It is only a question of a compare
lively short time until electric lines
will begin to spread over North Dakota
much as they have in some Of the mid
die states and when that tmiceomes

EDUCATE HANDS
AS WELL AS HEAD
More Practical Training In Common
Schools Urged By Ames
Superintendent

1.-THE movement for increased eff
cheney Of the farmer, is the greatest
one of the generation" declared P. G..
Golden, superintendent of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural college at Ames, in an ad-
dress before the bankers of ten states
in conference in St. Paul last week.
IF any man needs diploma to
practice profession it is the farm
err" continued Supt. Golden. I'VE give
diplomas to physicians and lawyers be-
fore they are allowed to practice, why
not to the farmer, who does work that
develops the fertility Of the farm?
I'm Iowa ten bushels have been add
ed to the acre by testing seed corn and
in the last seven years, through scien-
tific treatment of seed corn, Iowa add
ed 211,0OO,0o0 bushels to it's annual
yield. We must take off our hats to
Minnesota however in strides made in
educating the hands of the students as
we'll as their heads. This state thru
courses in agriculture, home economics
and manual training, has exploded the
idea that the head is the only part of
a boy that should be sent to school. 1t
is function of modern education to
train the hands and the feet as well
as the head. The day has gone when
the boy is educated to lift him above
the farm. He should be educated to be
worthy of the farm. He should be
taught in the terms of life's work ant
| not on mere distractions and reports.
