Take Your Citizenship Seriously

There is nothing more important
than that we should take our citi-
zenship seriously. Some people
take it as a joke, some as a game,
some as a selfish purpose and some
as a chance to help friends or grind
axes. No man is worthy of citizen
ship unless he regards 1t as a mis-
sion and uses ii for the common
good to free his fellowman from ev-
cry kind of servitude and oppres-
sion and make them their own lev
ers to raise themselves to better es-
tate Citizenship Is a duty, and
every man who has high ideal Of
life, who makes it brave and serv-
iceable, has right to be called a
citizen and no other should be en-
rolled upon the roll Of honor A
citizen Is q man who honors his
city, his state and his nation by liv-
ing right and doing good. Such a
one regards citizenship seriously
The duty Of citizenship is commit
ted to each man as a trust to be
discharged always for the common
welfare and the higher purpose. A

of mankind and not for the advan-

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

always doing nothing" than our
present way Of working the roads.
In the past ten years many thous-
anGs of dollars have been spent on
the public roads in Sharp county,
but this vast sum has been dribbed
out a little here and a little yonder,
and practically all wasted. If in
tie beginning this sum had been
available in one lump sum and
had been used by a specialist in
road building it would have worked
wonders here. If the" tax is voted
another ten years the same story
can be told at the end of that time.
If our readers will give a bond is
sue careful study we believe they
will conclude that bonds will solve
the vexing road question.
o.
More than one hundred thousand
votes were cast for Amendment
No. 13, limiting the session of the
legislature, in the late election.
This was a laundering protest
against the sort of legislatures this
state has been enduring for some
years past. Those critics who
were so ready to declare that the
people wouldn't know how to vote
under the initiative and referendum
have no doubt by this time
tumbled to the fact that quite a
few of the folks had gumption
enough to vote for No. 13, the best
on the ticket. The
general public is neither as crazy
or ignorant as some of the smart
ones would have you believe.
o.
A town is just what the people
of the town make it. The appear
ance of the town in every way and
the progress it makes, whatever
that progress is, represents fairly
the ambitions of those who COM
pose the town.
o.
Don't bet, but if you do, bet on
Wilson.

The road tax has had another
narrow escape in Sharp county
but it is reasonable to believe that
this tax is getting pretty well used
TO close finishes in this county. The
Northern District is the only saliva
tion for the road tax in Sharp
county, because the tax can never
carry in the southern part OF the
county under present conditions.
This thing of making good roads
under the system which now pre-
walls is a huge undertaking. There
would be about as much good
sense in sending a man out with a
teaspoon with instructions to dig
a we'll as there is in furnishing an
overseer with a hair-lipped scraper
and a sledge hammer and instruct
him to build a good road, Al
kmost every single dollar spent to-
9day on the public roads in this
county is a total loss, except for a
Ilittle temporary benefit between
Trains. We are not making prog
|ress in road making in this county.
1--we have had the tax for years
|now and the roads ape just about
hike the tax foundr them. The
\ present system is never going to
|bring good roads to this county. Of
Ithat fact we are thoroughly con-
|vinced. Our own idea of the mat
Tier is that the best way, the quick
!. lest way and, in fact, the only way
Ethis county can ever hope to have
h good roads is to issue bonds for the
Emoney it will require to make the
Iroads, get the money and contract
%with a real road builder to do the
fwork. The tax does not bring in
enough money to make roads. 1t
furnishes just enough funds to
&piddle with. When $25 is spent on
"a stretch Of road, partly completing
the Improvement, all the benefit of
That expenditure is gone before
more funds can be had to complete
kthe work. Nothing has ever re-
Iminded us more of the old saying
