A MOUNTAIN PLEA.
from Louisville Herald. |

From Louisville Herald
The Mt. VERNON SIGNAL invites
The Herald to comment upon a
project earnestly advocated in its
columns and which contemplates
the building of a highway over
Boone's Trail from Cumberland
Gap to Grab Orchard. and then
into the Bluegrass.
The Herald is happy to approve
the proposal. The possibilities OF
the idea appeal to us, and are IN
entire accord with our policy of
support for any practicable plan of
increasing the number OF good
roads in the State.
Both in the people, and in the
natural resources of the mountain
counties, Kentucky has an asset
upon which it has never realized
in any adequate measure. Any.
thing any OF US can do to promote
the development and welfare Of
this great section OF the State
is worth doing.
The binding of road is, per.
haps, the most valuable contri.
button that could be made tC
present needs. A hundred Incl
dental features of progress depend
upon roads. The contemplated
highway would have the effect Of
drawing to itself, as a main artery
tributary turnpikes from adjoining
counties, and would thus form a
stimulus to further development
The SIGNAL propose tina,
Federal aid should be asked in
constructing the road. Since i,
would be interstate in its nature,
touching Tennessee and Virginia
as well as Kentucky, there is
reason and justice in this sug-
gestion. We gladly join our
mountain contemporary in urging
the consideration of the project by
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1913-02-07

The sins of commission aud
omission of the Louisville daily
press have been many. especially
regarding South Eastern Ken
lucky. The Herald being the
only paper that has given the
mountain people a square deal of
late.
Fourteen days after the SIGNAL
printed an editorial advocating
government appropriation tor the
construction of a highway from
Cumberland Gap to Crab Orchard
a distance of % miles, to be called
Boone Way in honor of the old
hero, Daniel Boone, and requesting
an editorial expression thereon:
the Courier Journal and Post
came "limpin in the rear" with
loads of cold water" and slush ice
which they promptly threw onto
the proposition in an attempt to
drown out the presu mptious
mountaineer's movement to get
small recognition from our Nation
al government. In their opinion,
evidently, South Eastern Ken
lucky don't deserve nothin'
nohow." Let these people of tine
hills dig out their own salvation
and roads from the mountain sides,
advocate. these arrogant sheets.
These Tapers endorse, or appear
to, the idea of piling up marble
buildings in Washington at the
cost of millions upon millions of
dollars, harbor work at New York
Norfolk, Galveston, San Francisco
etc. Locking and damming the
Ohio at Louisville, ami many
more river points at a cost OF
more millions. Many Of these
vast edifces, ETC., can be viewed
by the ultra rich, along with
Marse Henri, from their private
palace cars and yachts or motor
boats, during all seasons of the
year while our mountaineer is
often, during winter months,
obliged to shoulder his turn OF
corn and climb "traiis" over the
bills to mill for the bread supply
for his family, on account of i'm
passible roads for riding or
driving, all of which could be SO
easily changed by switching just
a Unite" of the millions so lavishly
bestowed upon other localities.
The work to be accomplished by
this mite would give vast benefits
to not only thousands of people
but would reach up into the
million column.
These Louisville Journals, herein
mentioned, both by advertisement
and by personal letter, one o!
which the writer is in receipt OF
from Courier Journal under a
recent date, calling attention to
advertisements of Louisville
business men in its colun rs and
the advantages in parcels posi-
Accommodations offered customers
by these hustling commercial
people, giving cogent reasons
why our people should trade with
Louisville. Right on its heels came
these editorials telling us they
have no sympathy tor our move
ment for governmental aid in
highway building and brutal,
volunteering the superAuous advice
that If you mountain people want
roads dig 'em; (dig We terriers Dig
root hog or die. We have good
roads, presented us by the good
old State of Kentucky and are
at just a small expense to keep
them in repair and are not con.
corning ourselves as to what South
Eastern Kentucky is doing OF
going to do; this is the heft OF
the emiuations from that portion
of the Louisville press Under dis
