Narrow Roads; Automobiles;
And Skittish Horses.

The cry, that all the public
roads Of the county and state
with few exception are too rar-
row to accommodate the travelling
public, has become more serious
since the advent of the automo-
bile. Marrow roads are not on
~ a hinGrance to travel but are
dangerous for persons driving
stock not accustomed to meeting
the auto. If a horse or mule is
reasonably safe to drive where
you are liable to meet traction
engines, autos and the like pro-
vided the road is wide enough to
pass with a five fit. space betwe-
en-, the roads are crooked and
narrow and meeting an auto it
looks like a collision is unavoid-
able, looks as if the machine was
going to run under the horse and
that is what scares. A horse is
scared out of its wits for a hog
orfog to run under its feet.
The size and fuss of the auto
would scare him worse than a
whole pack OF hyeneas. The s.u-
to has come to stay and a COM
plete revolution of the entire 70
ad system is inevitable. 1t is a
fact and cannot be denied that
there are pla ces on our main big
roads that two wagons or bug
gies can't pass without one or
the other sidetracking in a wide
place until the other gets by.
To meet in a squeeze or pinch or
narrow place neither could get
by. This is not all, narrow pla-
ces are found where a wagon or
buggy can't pass, a person hor-
setback or afoot without one side
tracking until the other gets by.
In many places on hills, and 1.2
of the mileage of our roads is up
Ind down hill, the road has
become a deep cut 20 #. or more
wide at the top tapering from
each side to the bottom where
where the track is only 6 # wide
"a #. ought to be the width of
road bed now to meet the present
conditions.
An immense expense would be
the result Of widening deep cuts.
The cheapest and most expedient
thing to do would be to change

LEE CRUCE IN
THE LIMEL|CHT
Governor Of Oklahoma Solves Pro-
hibition Problem and Makes
"Drys" Enforce 1t.

Oklahoma City. Okla, Sept.
20. If state wide prohibition
fails in Oklahoma, it will be the
prohibitionists themselves who
will be to blame.
Gov. Lee Cruce has shifted
the burden onto their shoulders.
By the end of the year, ten
thousand citizens of the state
will be bearing commissions from
the governor authorizing them
to act as special deputy enforce
ment officers under the prohibi-
ton law.
This is your law" the gov.
ernor has said to them, in effect.
"You voted for it, and it is up to
you to create and maintain a SEN
timent favorable to its enforce
ment. If you do not make good
the blame is on you and not on
the state administration. The
commission hand you authoriz-
es you to use all lawful means to
enforce the law. You can make
arrests, You can prosecute, you
can raid, you can confiscate liq-
uor, you can tear out gambling
dens, you can have all the liber-
ties and privileges vouchsafed to
the man elected to any Office in
the state with power to enforce
the law. But have no money
to pay you. There are no avail
able funds for that purpose. 1t
is up to your philanthropic, law
abiding, law-loving citizens to
pay you for your work, if you de-
mand pay"
The biggest issue in Oklahoma
now is prohibition. A bill has
been drafted by a statewide or
ganization of anti-prohibitionists
to be submitted to the people
next year under the initiative
and referendum law providing
for repeal of the prohibition par
agraph of the constitution and
the substitution of local option.

rocky hill is easier gone up in a
wet or muddy season. So tc
spend money to build pixies on
hills will be in keeping with our
tradition of getting only 10 cts.
value out of every dollar spent.
First secure level right of ways.
Run the roads from one joint to
another, not the most direct
course, but the most direct level
route. Ia or IL can be added to
the distance if you can get a per-
fectly level route. Often the
level route will be the nearest. AS
the first road engineers went out
of their way to get on hill. In
their times road graders, scrap
ers and turning plows were I'M
known. The small shovel pillow,
commonly called bull tongue was
all they had to ditch with. But
now experience has taught that
bottom or low laid we'll drained
is dryer than ridge land, as more
sand and gravel is found in the
valleys. The crazy notion that
a road in valley would be mirry
is no longer believed in. If we
can get the roads changed to av-
old the hills then turnpikes
would be the next step. 1t will
take 5 years to secure rights of
way and level up the roads Sc
cure 60 fit right of way, make
roadbed "a fit and then piking
will be easy. A wise old darkey
said the first thing to do when
you go about to cook a 'possum
was to first catch the oppossum.
The first important thing to do
about making turnpikes or bet
ter dirt roadsis to get level rights
of way, grade and fix something
like rail road company would
fix its road bed then good roads
will be assured. r.

Dr.. Bells Antiseptic SaIve
Good for all Skin Diseases.

Every candidate for the legisla-
ture will be called upon to take a
stand and the fight will center
in each county on the election of
a sheriff and a county attorney.
In each county and in many
townships and precincts there
are law and order leagues which
will cooperate with the Anti
Saloon league. The Woman's
Christian temperance union, the
Epworth League, the Christian
Endeavor and other religious or
CARNATIONS are getting ready for
the fight.
While it is generally admitted
that the prohibition law is toler-
ably well enforced in about 70
per cent. of the precincts of the
state, there is no doubt that SEN
timent against statewide prohi-
bition has been growing. Last
year a measure to repeal the
prohibition ordinance of the con-
stitution was defeated by a ma
jority of about 5000. The or
dinance was adopted in 1907 by
a majority of nearly 10000.
These special enforcement Of
ficers in some communities have
dampened the ardor of the reg
ularly elected officers.
At Sapulpa the city marshall
arrested an enforcement officer
on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. Gov. Cruce i'm
mediately pardoned him and an
nounced that he would pardon all
others as fast as arrested. He
said he would appoint 500 men
in Oklahoma City to enforce the
law if necessary. A suit has
been filed in the district court at
Sapulpa to test the constitution
atty of the law under which dep
uty enforcement officers are an
pointed.
In counties where the law is
being rigidly enforced authori-
ties have ordered that all county
convicts be worked on the public
highways. These men, wearing
white shirts and stiff collars and
$40 suits of clothes, have been
placed beside common criminals,
each with pick or a shovel, to
work in the hot sun on a public
road.
Some of our prominent citi-
zens are now working on the
road" said a county attorney.
"You would be surprised to
know the character of some of
these men. Some of them have
made thousands of dollars in the
saloon business and probably
have never done lick of work
before. But we work them.
The horror of being placed in a
road gang has had a great deal
to do with making the law easier
to enforce in my comfy.

The bad conditions of the pub
lie roads all over the whole cou-
nty has aroused the public mind.
People are resolving to do some
thing. 1t is being agitated to
such an extent that some people
are becoming almost frantic in
their demands for better roads.
1t sometimes pays to make haste
slowly. There has been so much
public money wasted on the
roads, out of ever S1.00 spent
80 cents was wasted and per-
haps 10cts went to the permant
maintainces of the road. Near
ly all the trouble has been lack
of drainage, bitches too narrow.
Not that the men did net work
enough to earn the money they
received but the work was not
done in a scientific manner, in
competent men as overseers, I'M
der no bond, work as they pleas
ed or not work at all. Road
working days ought to be the
same all over the county. That
is beginning in the spring and
closing work in the fall for win
ter. A set time to begin. All
begin the same week and go on
until completed. Some would
get done sooner than others but
all could begin the same time and
insure some work being done on
all the roads. An overseer might
put off from time to time working
his road till the work season
passed and nothing done. If
worked by taxation and contract
the rule to continue on all the
roads at a certain date would
hold good. Road overseers or
supervisors should pass examin-
alton as to competency the same
as school teachers. Nearly as
much money paid out in the
state for roads as for schools and
yet no examination as to compet-
ency for supervisors of roads
and on the other hand a most
ridged examination for teachers.
Years ago a teacher had but lit
tie to fear about certificate to
teach. The County clerk, Sher-
if, postmaster or just anybody
that happened to be handy could
examine him and give certificate.
The state soon found such a plan
too expensive as its money was
being paid out and the returns
not justifying the expense. The
state will wake up some day and
take over the whole road busin-
ess. Have a state road super
visor, same as state school sup
