VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY.

The Herald pities the man who will
take his girl or boy to Mobile to an
eve specialist and buy expensive
glasses, when the child is subjected
to such poor accommodations at
home for lights as we speak of. Pa
rents this is an important matter,
and should have your careful atten.
ton. See to it that your home is
well provided with lighting conven-
fences. At least buy kerosene lamps
with globes and keep them well
cleaned and used the improved bur-
ner which gives about twice the vol
ume of light; if able do better than
that, then install light plant eth
er gasoline, acetylene or some other
practical system.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1912-11-08

It's a lamentable fact that so many
of the parents OF our county are let
ting their preiudices stand in the
way or are carelessly Indifferent to
the need of providing proper lights
in their homes that the children may
be able to study their lessons during
the scholastic season and peruse
good literature the balance of the
year. Time was when the old lit 'ud
knot fire served we'll as the only
light needed in our homes, or else an
old greasy-smoky hand-lamp of the
non-globe kind, or dingy ill-smell-
ing and bury lantern answered the
demands for light at night, but
that day has passed. People are
waking up along other lines. and
why not to preventive measures for
warding off eyesight failure or dis
ease.

This exhibit was designed and prepar
ed by the Office, and since the exposi-
ton closed similar exhibits have been
shown in many parts Of the United
States. partly through the medium OF
expositions and partly by means Of ex-
hibit trains operated by several rail-
roads. Lecturers and demonstrators
accompany these exhibits. making them
in reality schools of instruction In road
building.
Graduates In engineering are ap-
pointed from colleges each year after
a competitive examination, and are
given thorough training while render
ing practical services to the govern
ment In this way an efficient corps Of
engineers is being built up, which will
aid the development Of road building
along proper lines, both during and
after their connection with the gov
eminent This work was begun In the
fiscal year 1905.
Investigations into the decomposition
of rock powders under the action Of
water have led to important discover
les with reference to increasing the ce-
menting value of road materials. The
investigation into the corrosion Of iron
and steel culverts has brought out i'm
portant results. The generally accept
ed theories regarding the rusting of
iron have been demonstrated to be In
correct. and 1t has been shown that
by treating the surface Of the iron
with strong oxidizing agent the rust
ing can be inhibited.
In May. 1907. the Office inaugurated
project designed to introduce the
best possible systems Of construction,
maintenance and administration of
roads In the various counties. Under
this plan engineers are assigned to
make thorough investigation on all
phases OF the road work Of the county
to which they are assigned, and pre-
pare exhaustive reports giving plans.
estimates and recommendations.
The number Of the employees OF the
Office has increased from one on July
/. 1893. to 157 on July 1. 1911. The
present appropriation Of the Office is
$16O.720. out OF which $500 is paid
for rent. leaving $157.220 to pay the
salaries of these 1877 employees, as well
as travelling expenses. the purchase of
equipment and supplies. and the usual
running expenses.
The most thorough and systematic
methods OF organization have been in
troduced into the administration Of the
Office. and the great library on all
phases Of road work Is the best In the
western hemisphere. and the library is
being added to constantly.
The policy OF the Office In recent
years has been to cooperate with the
officials in charge Of road work In the
various states as closely as possible,
and the endeavor il being made SO to
correlate road work in each state by
voluntary cooperation as to constitute
one great movement along uniform
lines and make the progress and meth
DDS Of each state known to every other
state through the medium Of the Office.
In furtherance OF this object a compre-
hensive investigation was begun In

From our exchanges we notice that
some of the towns of the state are
publishing their annual financial
statements showing the items
punched. That is some better than
not publishing it all, but the law
plainly states that such publishing
must show all expenditures in detail
That is. every item expended and who
to and for what purpose. The
punched method will at least show
how much money the Town started
in with at the beginning Of the fiscal
year, how much was spent Shown in
lump.) how much was collected and
how much is left on hand to begin
the next year with. The object of
the law for such publishing is to
show the taxpayers where their mon
ey went and that Item by item and
not fund by fund in aggregate sums.
