GOOD ROADS MONUMENTS.
Not Useless Shafts Of Marble But
Lasting Arteries Of Prosperity.

Col. Sidney Suggs, commissioner
of highways for the state OF Okla
homa, who is spending a few days
at his old home in Ardmore, is as
ardent good roads enthusiast as
ever. Col. Suges has done more for
the cause of good roads in Oklahoma
than has ever been attempted by
any one else. For years he has agi-
tated the building OF roads, and u"
has made every feature OF such road
building a special study. He knows
lust what it will cost TO build a
piece of good road and above all he
knows the material benefit of good
roads to the community through
which they pass and the great and
immediate financial benefit they are
TO the general public
in speaking upon this subject,
which should be Of paramount in'
terest to every merchant an0 farm
owner in the state, the Colonel said
that in place OF eXpCnding none
on worthless monuments, let tn"
same amount of money be expended
upon public highways each of which
could bear the name of some one of
the nations good and great men and
thereby become a lasting and benef''
ial monument to his memory.
The building of roads as mOnu-
ments to men are living useful
monuments which will last forever
and be OF benefit TO generations yct
unborn, continued the Colonel; they
mean more than can be set forth in
anv one article and is worthy OF
the most careful consideration. Since
such road building has been declared
constitutional il will mean the build
ing of public highways of macadam,
