The Democrats and Good Roads.
Here are two points in favor of
the great system of dragged roads
Missouri will have before the last of
the year. The first is that the en-
tire bill will be footed by owners of
automobiles from whom the state
collects an annual license fee. The
second is that counties will be re-
lieved of the cost of maintaining
these roads. The money thus saw
ed can be applied Oh roads in other
districts. The states system will
connect every county seat in Mis-
souri, and will amount to something
like seven thousand miles Anoth-
er evidence that the Democratic
party is always on the job wheE it
comes to doing the right thing at
the right time.-Weston Chronicle.
Will Be Healthy Struggle.
The present outlook is that there
is going to be something doing in
the contest for Senator Stones seat
iu the u. S. senate in 1914. Stone
wants to be his own successor, and
has so stated. Ex-Governor Joseph
w. Folk, who lost in the race the
other time, and was sidetracked
when Jas. A. Reed was elected is
to be reckoned with. He has given
his friends to understand that he
has not yet been effectually horned
out of the political arena and that
Stone will have another opportuni-
ty of defeating him for a seat in
the senate. From a Republican
standpoint, there is little doubt that
the presidential bee will continue to
buzz around Ex-Governor Hadley's
bonnet, but in order to keep in the
limelieht the indications are that he
will make a run for the senate

Highway engineer Hewitt was
here last Thursday enroute to Lake
nan to look at the proposed new
road which would straighten the
present Lakenan-Hunnewell road
by going along the north side of the
Burlington railroad through the
farms of II. H, Jewett and w. S.
Orr. This road would do away
with two dangerous railroad cross
ings. Rather, instead of doing
away with the crossings it would
not be necessary for nine tenths of
the travellers on the Hunnewell
road to cross the tracks twice. 1t
will do away with some hills also.
The new road will be a great i'm
proyement and will be where it
should have been all the time. Mr..
Orr wants $l00 dollars DAMAGES for
the road using the strip on his
south line. If the court decides
not to pay this. three commission
ers will be appointed to assess the
damages. -Shelbina Democrat.

All Officers and No Privates.

Eugene A. Vogt. the editor of a
Progressive weekly, made the re-
mark at the recent Progressive con-
vention in St. Louis, that the party
had started out as generals, cap
tains. majors and colonies and it
was later found out that there was
no privates in their ranks. That
might have been the situation but
