The Staunton Dlspatch-NeWs
calls attention to the lesson OF the
muddy roads, and we give space to
its views in another column.
There could be no more impress
sive lesson, and we often lose sight
of the fact tuat it is a very expen'
sive sort of schooling. There are
businesses where teams are called |
on to 60 in spite of weather and
road conditions, and the laded,
broken-down appearance OF horses
doing service this spring is mute,
but strong appeal to man. Even
when the t,afhc is reduced to a
minimum on account of bad roads,
the loss sustained is no small one,
there being no adequate return to
the teamster and only torture ami
suffering for horse flesh.
A Monterey man coming out
from Staunton on Saturday declar-
ed that he had never made the
long drive under such trying cir
cumstances, reaching here 1T 9
o'clock almost too tired and lH"ed
to eat or sleep. He says that the
worst road, if possible, is cn the
Augusta side, between West Au-
custa and Lone Fountain, hence
the Staunton papers comment IS
timely and appeals to us.
These conditions cannot be remedl-
ed in a day or a year, but the sub
ject is the most important one now
before the people.
Not only so, but we believe that
now as never before the people are
awake to the Importance of perma-
naent work-whether on on large
scale or small one-and are ready
to do their Part. No longer ago
than Monday a prominent road
man remarked that scores of farm
ers would deliver rock, free OF
charge, along the roadways So that
they might be crushed and used for
work.
The problem is not easy OF s"ln'
tin, but of paramount Importance
to every county.
We are pleased to publish let
ter from lone of the Daughters
relative to the proposed memorial,
and we trust that the move may
be seconded by other sections of
the county. We note that our
correspondent this week seems to
have misunderstood the Recorders
suggestion in that she proposes a
memorial to those who lost their
lives in the battle of Mcdowell
Our idea was to place a monument
to the memory of Confederate SOL
diers who enlisted from Highland
thus honoring all, whether dead CT
living.
This, we think, would widen the
scope of sympathy and interest and
be in keeping with plans now being
carried out in other counties. The
county-seat would seem to be the
logical place to locate a memorial

The Repul...,n News, Marlin
ton, advocates y national pike
from Parkersburg to Hot Springs
~ way of HUT. nsville and Marlin
ton and claims that Randolph and
Bath counties are ready to do their
part. Of course it is natural for
the News to map out route via
Marlinton, and we commend it for
its loyalty, hut the logical course
for such a road would be
from Parkersburg to Stanton,
over the entire length of the fine
old turnpike, there to intersect the
great highway from New York to
Atlanta. Then a branch down
JacAson's River from Monterey to
the Hot Springs would afford ideal
accommodations to touring parties
from all sections.

GOOD ROADS

Our country friends can have Il
practical demonstration of what
rood roads mean. They can see
WHY there is Il general demand for
roads, rs they pillow through the
mud, and they can also see that
the cry for good roads comes from
no selfish or sordid motives nobody
is trying to get them to vote for a
hond issue, simply to inveigle them
into a worthless scheme to get their
mo cy without adequate return.
This is no gold brick business; the
country roads are just now impass-
able; they are a full and complete
demonstration of what the people
have endured ever since this coun-
! try was settled, and testify as no
other thing can to the waste and
loss our people have suffered, sim,
ply because they have heretofore
been unable to get together anc
change the conditions. But lei
bygones be bygones, and the waste
that has occurred be forgotten, i
possible, and now that the facilities
for road making are better thai
ever before, and now that we cal
pay the cost of good roads, let u
, determine that we will no longe
endure the sufferings of old, Blu
get to work in a sensible, bushes
way and change the conditions b,
lifting ourselves theoretically an
, actually. out of the mire and rut
of the selfish and ignorant policy
which we have submitted to in tn
past. Staunton Dispatch News.

Representative Lydiard of Minneap-
oils announced that one of the first
bills he will introduce will be to put
the clerk of the supreme court on a
salary basis. At present he receives
fees and the amount guessed at ranges
from $4,000 to $4,000. I. A. Caswell,
the present incumbent, says if any one
can show him better than $4,000 he
can have the job. Out of this amount
Caswell must pay his office help and
expenses. Lydiard belongs to the ad-
ministration crowd and it is said the
fellows higher up are anxious to get

members of the new house OF repre-
sentatives met in St Paul last week
and agreed to keep their hands off the
Republican house speakership. They
decided to adjourn until the meeting
of the house. when they would name
a candidate of their own. The candi-
date will be either Frank Minnette of
Sank Center or Albert Pfaender of
New Ulm. The minority was addressed
by r. B. Lynch and concluded its
meeting with the agreed opinion that
1t would be some pumpkins at the COM
ing session. M. j. Sullivan, four
time member from Minneapolis, was
made chairman of the minority.

THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
FIRES UPON HIS PURSUERS
Duluth Bandit Creates Brief Reign
of Terror.

Max Droszewski robbed the gro
Gerry store of Anderson & Ogg at
Duluth and fed with about $40 taken
from the till, pursued by mob and
posse of police. He fired three shots
at his pursuers, scattering them in
terror and driving the crowds on the
street to shelter, panic stricken.
The police kept up the pursuit and
cornered the robber in a shed. He
showed fight, but Patrolman Honnold
hit him in the jaw and knocked him
out. He was arrested and locked up.
He had entered the store and, point
ing his gun at the clerk, who was
alone, forced him to hand over all the
money in the till.

members OF the bar of the state. He
lakes the place made vacant by the
elevation of Justice Calvin l., Brown
to the chief justiceship 1t is pretty
certain that Governor Eberhart gave
sigh of relief when he named Judge
Bum to fill the vancancy on the SUI
preme bench. Candidates galore
showed up from all sides and he was
deluged with letters, not to speak of
visits from delegations and individuals.
In voicing the opinion of those who
weigh everything from a political
standpoint the appointment of Judge
Bum was something that may have a
comeback some of these days, but
privately he made good choice.
Judge Bum is generally regarded as
one of the big members of the court,
even if the voting population failed
to endorse him at the late election.
In the good old days the canvassing
Of the returns, as far as the average
statewide election was concerned,
consumed week and the job netted
the members of the state canvassing
board tidy sum per member. This
time trifle over one day was con-
sumed and the bill all told will not
be over 500. Secretary of State
Schmahl is responsible for the reform
and he shortened the time by using
his Office force to tabulate the returns
us fast as received. The canvassing
board met on the 26th and the only
duty it performed was to verify the
figures as compiled by the secretary
and attach it's signatures.
\ = !.
Mention of julius Schmahl and
some of the reforms he has accom-.
plished in the conduct of the secre-
tary of states Office would not be
complete without the statement that
the kingmakers two years hence may
have to consider him for gubernatorial
material. julius does things that
cause many about the building to hold
up their hands in horror and predict
dire things, but just the same he has
faculty of getting away with it. He
is a member of the old school, is near
OF of approach by the newspaper fra
ternity than any one in the building
that / know Of and no matter what
may happen generally lands right side
up with care. Time and again his
political enemies have tried to get
him, but they have failed. He seems
to have charmed life. 1t has always
been said of the secretary of state
that he would wear out more shoe
leather than any one in the building
when it comes to an accommodation
Every year he deals out about $500,
900 in patronage and this may have
something to do with his popularity
but this does not detract from tht
fact that a number of those higher
up would like to get his scalp. So far
however, they have failed.

Speaking of julius Schmahl and hi:
close relationship with the newspaper
fraternity of the state l cannot hell
but offer it as a striking contrast il

of the state controlled by the presen
Eberhart administration. If you vii
accept the views of an old timer pub
licity no longer constitutes feature
of the average state department. Fla!
the game is now the slogan and 1t Il
carried out to an extent that makes
news gathering at the state capito
these days a task instead of
pleasure.
