ways in State.

Pierre, May LITTLE good road
movement is holding its interest
yet in the state, and if that can be
continued up to the time OF the
next meeting Of the legislature, the
securing Of an adequate good roads
law may be a possibility. In all
past sessions, anything looking
toward expenditure for highways,
or any change from the old time
work system, was turned down as
soon as it showed up, until the
last session when a half way road
law was secured, but not until it
was made optional by counties,
and several of the leading counties
Of the state have suspended its ac-
ton until a vote q be taken at
the November election, as to
whether or not the people Will ac-
cept the provisions of the act.
The different cross state highways
are the central points of agitation,
and are being made demonstration
points. The road builders Of Cod
ington county have arranged for
cooperation, to put the Meridian
Highway in shape clear across
their county in one day. Lake
county has purchased road grader
and engine for handling it, and is
pushing the highway across that
county. The east and vest roads
are attracting attention, in all the
sections of the state where they
touch, and the whole agitation is
reaching to counties off any of
these proposed highways, as a
policy which will help the coun-
ties, and the whole movement is
attracting so much attention that
adequate legislation may be
enacted next winter.

Congressman Burke has been
unable to return to South Dakota
during the present campaign and
stump the state, owing to the fact
that there were a great many mat
ters pending in congress, in which
the state was vitality interested and
he has sufficient faith ia the peo-
pie to believe that they will not
need a campaign. There was a
time when people decided against
Mr.. Burke, but they revised that
decision at the very next election
and since that time his popularity
has been steadily growing and the
people have given him an in
creased majority at each election.
There is a reason, Chas. Il. Burke
