OURS A GOOD ROADS COUNTY

Yesterday and to-day all over the
state the people have been making
"A practical application of concerted
road Improvement, and the good ne
complished will be far reaching. The
/ people have taken bold of the idea
with enthusiasm, and good road
days promise to become an an
nual event. Here In our county the
people in the several road districts
have taken hold of the matter with
good will, although road improve.
ment In st. Francois county is not
new thing. For a number of years
1t has been sort of continuous
movement the year round, until we
have many miles of smooth pcrman.
ent rocked and graveled road. Not
only have the road taxes been ju-
diciously expended but the road
fund has been generously supple
mented by popular subscriptions in
practically every road district.
There is scarcely "A session of the
County Court, which meets month
ly, that the County Treasurer's re-
ceipt for liberal subscriptions by our
people is not presented to the court
for the Improvement of some i'm
portant piece of road. This is
promptly met by the court with an
appropriation double the amount
subscribed to be applied to that par
ticular stretch of road, and a super
visor Of expenditure is appointed to
see that the money is used to the
best advantage and the road put in
the best condition. 1t has become
a fixed policy>in this county and has
been followed for number of years,
with the result that st. Francois
county Is fast securing system of
solid, smooth roads good all the
year round. The spirit OF road i'm
provement Is no stranger In st.
Francois county, and anything
promising better roads is readily
taken up by our people, so at the
close of this day we may confident
ly assume that there will have been
accomplished lot Of work in every
district that will make travel more
comfortable in every road district
and put the dirt roads in shape for
rocking and graveling, which may |
be done as the means are available.

III n mentioning Il meeting of
the ministers at Flat River

III \ mentioning meeting OF
HI the ministers at Flat River
on the 18th, the Lead Belt
News broadly hints at some crit
icism Of Prosecuting Attorney
Francis A. Benham for his failure
to meet with them and for SOME
other alleged shortcomings. Mr..
Benham, we understand, had been
asked to meet with the ministers,
but owing to the labor troubles
and the immincnce of strike he
felt that he might have his hands
full trying to keep order, and for
that reason notified them that he
would not be able to do so on the
day named
AS to the suggestion of failure
on his part to enforce the law, we
have been under the impression
that he is quite active in the dis.
charge of his official duties. OF
course we cannot 90 into details,
but it might be mentioned among
other things that he has broken up
three rendezvous of immoral repute
and prosecuted number of pool
room and saloon men for viola.
tons of the law, and we have been
advised that these men are con-
Quoting their places now quite diff.
ferently since their experience with
him.
Hes has been criticised also for
the renting of a fine in the case
of the State VS.. Robert McClintock
for selling liquor on Sunday. This
was done, we are informed, through
Mr.. Beuham's assistant without
his knowledge, but as soon as his
attention was called to the matter
he ordered that the fine be as.
sessed and collected, as a justice of
the peace has no authority to re.
nit fines in criminal cases.
The Prosecuting Attorney has a
very trying office to fill and much
to contend with. He has to deal
with both extremes, and is not in
frequently the subject of hasty and
unconsidered criticism, which,
when the facts are known, is found
to be groundless. But as far as
we have been able to observe, Mr..
Benham has promptly proceeded in

Twill you always be lovable?'"
