GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION.
TENTATIVE. PROGRAM
VIRGINIA Is TO DE REPRESENTED
BY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
r.. ST. JULIAN WILL
son.

1t has gradually come to be recog-
nized that to accom- plish the best re-
suits in road building there must be
organization and systematic effort on
the part of the citizens in comnlun-
ity, county, State. or section
OF country having similar topographic
conditions, or where natural condi-
tons are such as to create a common
bond of interest. Eight Of the South
ern Safes have portions of their ter
ritory lying in the Southern Appa-
lachian mountains, and thus the actu-
al physical conditions of road con-
struction would create a bond of in
terest between these States If there
were no other reason why they should
be united in trying to lend force to a
movement whose object is to promote
the construction of good roads
through put this region. These States
are Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina. South
Carolina. Georgia and Alabama. In
order for this good roads work to re
carried on vigorously. IL Is necessary
for those who realize the Importance
of this movement TO gete together and
discuss ways and means OF financing
the building Of roads in their section,
methods Of construction, interstate
highways which would open up de-
sirable sections in different States.
etc. The four conventions which have
been he'd by the South Appalachian
Good Roads association have been the
means OF bringing together such ci.,-
zens from these States men who have
been willing to sacrifice their time
and expend consider BILE effort for the
advancement OF this cause: and, at
the convention in Atlanta. 1t is hop I'd
that those who now expect to attend
will not only go thems elves. but in
terest others in This movement

thus far been arranged:

The CAUSE,

What Col. Roosevelt Said to His

In the Greatest Campaign Speech on
Record, With Bullet In His Body,
He Answered Forever the Ar0"-
ment That the Progressive Patty
10 4 One-Man Movement.

The speech that Col Roosevelt Do
livered at Milwaukee with bullet In
his body was the most dramatic cam
paign utterance on record.
Just before he rose to speak Henry
F. Cocaems, head Of the Progressive
Party's Speakers bureau and Mil
waukee man, came forward and said:
in presenting Col. Roosevelt to you,
good citizens, good fathers and good
civilians, you should know that the
Colonel comes to you in the spirit OF
good soldier.
"As we were leaving the hotel =
few moments ago a dastardly hand
raised revolver and fired shot At
him, and the Colonel speaks as sol
der with bullet in his breast; where,
we don't know"
A shudder ran through the audience,
accompanied by cries OF "Oh. Oh"
from the women present, who made
up half of the audience.
Col. Roosevelt stepped forward and
was greeted with cheer that shook
the building. He had the old grin on
his face, and it was hard for the audi
ence to credit the statement that he
stood there like soldier with the
lead Of an enemy in his body.
That there was no question of this
was shown by little incident. When
the Colonel started to read his notes
he took his spectacle case from the
vest pocket, and turning to those just
about him, exhibited it, indicating
where the bullet Of the assassin had
nicked it. This brought another sym
pathetic cheer, to which Mr.. Roosevelt
responded with one of his smiles and
began his talk.
Friends, shall ask you to be as
quiet as possible" he said. Il don't
know whether you fully understand
that have just been shot, but it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose.
(Cheers.) But fortunately l had my
manuscript, SO you see ! was going to
make long speech (holds up manu-
scrip with bullet hole) and there is
bullet-there is where the bullet
went through and it probably saved
me from it going into my heart. The
bullet is in me now, SO that cannot
make very long speech, but VIII
try my best. (Cheers).
And now, friends, want to take
advantage OF this incident and say Z
word of solemn warning as l know
how to my fellow countrymen. First
Of all want to say this about my
self: l have altogether too important
things to think of to feel any concern
over my own death, and now l cannot

minutes OF being shot.

when l say that my concern IL for

A Man..

Theodore Roosevelt is q fairly close
presentment Of what this nation likes
to call a man. Such faults as fault
finders like ourselves have been able
to descry in him are faults Of the
highly tempered, hasty, and not al
ways reasonable naLion which selected
him to govern it. No man probably
could nave risen SO high in American
politics and emerged as stainless from
his early struggles. No man could
have used his power with a larger
moral usefulness to his whole people.
And we doubt whether any man in
history has undertaken late in life as
high, an unseltish venture In the field
of politics as the Bull Moose. 1t is
fortunate that those who value lightly
the important things of life courage,
personal honor, and the well-being of
those about them, and who guard
closely safety, comfort, and their
pocketbook-ar almost The on y
Americans cynical enough to disbe-
lieve in the honesty of Theodore
Roosevelt's words within five minutes
of an attempt upon his life:
Friends, want to say this about
myself: have too many important
things to think about to pay heed OF
to feel any concern over my own
death.

National Republican party did not
hold a national convention at Chicago
That a faction OF the delegates nomi-
mated President Taft and by illegal
procedure disfranchised delegates who
had been legally elected and sent
there by their states. That the con-
vention was fraud ON the repu blican

cause some OF us did not like the ac-
tion Of that convention. It will not
help us any to leave our own bivOuac

next campaign comes round We Will
be lined up against your party either
as republicans or as pr0gressives. For
the past eight years there has been

parry in this state. The reactiOnary
II r People and the progressive peo-
Pile. The republicans OF this state In
trusted their interests with the pro-
gressives and because these progress
ives will not lay down and turn the
government of the state over to the
same reactionaries that have been
fighting the progressives for years you
ask them to 60 over to you and allow
you to swallow them. The progress
sive republicans OF this state will
never do 1T and as to the other fell
lows If they are willing to trust the
government of this state and nation
to the burbon democrats the quicker
they get there the better for their
presence in the democratic party will
destroy 1t. No, Mr.. Coffee you offer
no inducement which will warrant
good republican In lining up with you.
You say Wilson is good man.
Granted Roosevelt and Taft are good
men But the men behind both Will
son and Taft If either OF them Is
elected will paralize them from pro-
crossing one step Ia the interest Of
the mass OF the common people of
this country. No man is bigger than
his party and the dominant element
behind both Taft and Wilson are
reactionary and this country can ex-
pect but little from either. You
throw reflections on Roosevelt because
you are afraid of him.
That magnificent man Is now lying
on bed Of pain from gun shot
wound received while fighting the
battle OF the masses OF the people Of
this country and from this bed OF Suf-
fering and pain he advised the Ameri-
can people to go on and wrest the

they will do it If Roosevelt survives

Important Appeal to the Boys

October 31st being Halloween Night the city
authorities would like to appeal to the boys of
our city. BOYS, let us establish new pre-
cedent. Let us demonstrate to the citizens of
our community that we can do away with the
old heathenish custom of destroying property
and molesting peaceful citizens. There is no
in the dark hours of the night and destroying
their property. appeal to your sense Of hon
or and justice and would like to bring it right
to your door how you would like to have your
own property destroyed. Would also like to
to appeal to the parents of our city to help
the city authorities in establishing new pre-
cedent. If, however, this appeal does not ac-
complish what we expect it will, the violators
of law and order will be punished to the full
extent of the law.
Very respectfully,
