Falls Short--Board Will
Order Election

Unofficial returns from the Fallon
County hearing now in progress be-
fore the county board, indicates that
the board will find for the original
petitioners, and pass resolution Or
dering an election.
The checking Of the Wibaux peti-
tion for withdrawal in accordance
with the Supreme Court ruling,
shows an insufficient number of
names to exclude that territory, and
with the valuation of this territory
added to that in the proposed county
outside of the territory petitioned
for withdrawal, will bring Fallon
County valuation up to the three
million mark required for the or
ganization of new county.
The board today is engaged on the
checking of the territory urder what
is known as the Ismay petition.
and the early indications are that
this territory has sufficient names to
exclude it from the proposed Fallon
county, and keep it within Custer
county.
After the checking, of the peti-
tions is completed, the next step by
the county board will be to pass a
resolution ordering an election, put

men and women to go out without their
wraps, and then that smites them with

If such weather could be had in the

colder than the average person would

Physicians say that an open" win

most people fall easily when tempted.
The. moral is, be careful how you

! TURN OF THE WHEEL.

- IOIhIN OF- w
The legislatures of the various
states are now in session and we no.
tice that great deal of legislation
is proposed in the interest of better
relations of the investor and borrow
er. The old idea that it was the duty
possible for the investor to place his
funds inside the commonwealth is
rapidly passing, and we have new
theory which is based upon extending
welcome to capital in every form.
1t is not necessary that this go so far
as to rob the. legal possessor of land
or property or any of his rights in
order to favor an outside capitalist,
but it is essential if our western states
are to prosper that they insure the
foreign, investor that his investment
will be carefully guarded and that he
will be given every desirable right in
the matter of legal oversight and pro-
lection. The western states would be
without one-half their developments
today if they had depended upon their
own resources-Abilene Reflector.
BLOW TO CORNERS.
A decision handed down by the.
United States supreme court the
other day is a severe blow to the gen.
tlemen who have speculated in the
necessities of life. The court lays
down the principle that corners in
foodstuffs and clothing are contrary
to the Sherman antitrust law and
that persons engaged in creating such
corners are engaged in illegal conspir-
acies. 1t is but a step from this de-
cision to the regulation of cold stor-
age plants and the prevention of the
storing of large quantities of food
stuffs for the purpose of controlling
the markets. That probably will
come soon. The Sherman antitrust
law appears to be a pretty efficient in
strument for controlling the trusts,

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

There is disposition on the part of
the present legislature to provide for
good roads on a larger scale than
ever before was attempted. The move
is sure to meet with general appro-
baton on nearly all sides. There is
hardly anything that goes so far to
build up a locality as the presence of
really good roads, and good roads,
perhaps as much as anything else, have
marked the progress of the civilza-
ton of the world.
In the matter of roads Kansas is
far behind the eastern states. This
is natural as Kansas is much newer
state than those in the east. But
Kansas cannot afford to fall behind
the procession.
What the state needs most in the
way of roads is permanent work that
will stand without serious cost of
maintenance. Rock roads when
rightly built have proved to be of the
best.
In Connecticut it Is considered
nothing unusual for a man and his
family to drive so miles into New
York on an afternoon to witness
baseball game, or on a shopping trip.
A trip of the same length in Kan
sas over the best road in the state at
any time except when the roads are
in the best possible shape, would
mean decided hardships. At least it
would mean a tiresome trip.
Good solid road beds and grades
brought as nearly as possible to a
level mean an immense saving in the
cost of hauling, which is money di-
rectly in the pockets of the farmers.
But good roads have another
sphere of usefulness that should not
be overlooked. They connect a
neighborhood closer together, weld
the human sympathies of a rural
community, aid social relations. and
have been found, to better conditions.
They are relieving the loneliness of
the farm and are making farm life
much more attractive than it once
was.
BY all means let us have good
roads, the more the better.

terday leaves us little of consequences
but it's errors; we outgrow it's good,
the virtue of an hour ago being the
vice of this present moment.
Yet a considerable proportion of
humanity is content to take its en-
thusiasm out in the contemplation of
it's family tree and the achievement of
it's ancestors. What is nearly as bad
is a slavish devotion to the artistic

day. That which is old takes on
sanctity that calls for no less devo-
ton than that paid by the heather to
his idols for no greater IeasoiA. We
have outgrown. the divine right of
kings, but we haven't outgrown the
divinity of hoary relics, physical or
mental. The old family, the old prin-
ciple, the old method-every old mani
festation of mortmain, is worshipped
for sentiments sake to the detriment
of the new. the efficient, the vital.
