DON'T STEP BACKWARD, OLLIE

| regret very much to be compelled
to take issue with our representa-
tive, o. NJ. Morris, ard | have no
doubt but that he and many Of his
warm friends will ignore this article.
But that will not make me feel any
worse than | did when ] took issue
with William Howard Taft and The
odore Roosevelt on some certain
question (and of course got showed
under). Notwithstanding ! propose
to stand by my honest convictions and
make the best fight | can, on any is
sue that | consider of importance to
our people, regardless of friend or
foe, favor or disfavor.
Just here let me say that recog-
nize the ability of our dear Ollie
and heartily endorse much of the
wholesale legislation that he has al
vocated. But alas, he has touched
ne in a tender spot by introducing
a bill to abolish the office of state
highway commissioner, for consider
that any legislation that tends to
retard or hinder construction and
maintenance of roads, or even to de-
stroy the least semblance of enthusi.
asm along the lines of road building,
is a blow in the wrong direction. No
doubt our dear Ollie fails to see any
good results that have been accom-
plished by the office that he pro-
poses to abolish, but there could be
many reasons for that, and | do not
wish to embarrass any of his friends
ly itenizing any of those reasons.
Just here let me say in defense
of the office and it's present incum
bent, Hon. Sidney Suggs, have met
Mr.. Suggs in person, have had little
talks with him, have heard him make
public addresses On the subject Of
good roads, and if he is not the
right man in the right place, then |
take off my hat and confess that
haven't bat sense on the subject. Now
as to the office. 1t seems that our
previous Legislature failed to take any
notice, make any appropriation or pass
any legislation to make that depart
ment effective. Now II that be true

Stealing Coal in DayIiqht.

Officer Dan Blackburn arrested
Mary Reagan and Clara Thompson
in the railroad yards this morning
for stealing coal from cars. The
cold weather had caught them un-
supplied with wood. the women said,
ard they were weary of tackling the
gas supply for heat so that they
were forced to accept aid from the
railroad. However, as the railroad
company did not seem to know that
it was furnishing the aid Judge Best
assessed fine Of $3.50 in each case.
