TO DRAG STATE ROADS
If CarrolIton Mans Idea Be-
comes a Law

A state road dragging law, by
which the state will take over
and agree to pay for the drag
ging of one road between each
county seat of Missouri, is the
newest piece of proposed ldgis-
lation added to the great mass or
bills and proposed measures on
the subject of good roads, says
a Jefferson City dispatch.
w. R, Painter, of Carrollton,
| the acknowledgement, is pre-
pairing the road dragging law.
1t will be submitted to Governor
elect Major and probably incor
porated, at least partially, in the
administrations good roads bill.
Mr.. Painters plan includes
the formation of a state highway
commission, which Mr.. Major
already has said he would rec
ommend. The administration bill
probably will provide for the
governor, lieutenant governor
and the speaker of the house of
representatives to make up the
commission. A state roads en-
gineer, appointed by the COM
mission, will be the actual head
of the work.
After the commission has been
formed, Mr.. Painter proposes
that it shall select one road be-
tween each county seat. Then a
contract will be let to drag that
road and keep it in such shape
throughout the year. Mr.. Pain
ter says that it will cost between
Sis and $40 a year to have a mile
of the road dragged. The state
road engineer will have direct
supervision of the work, with the
county road engineers, or Who
sover may be in charge of the
work in the county, working un-
, der him. The roads are not tc
, dragged only when the farmer OF
whoever has the contract wants
the work, but whenever the high
way engineer or his assistant
/ order it.
| by this plan the the state
= will have a complete system o.
4 perfect earth road established
e throughout the state" the lieu
: tenant said.
e Most of the bills contain sug
gestions for the expenditure O.
the present state good road
fund, which amounts to abou
f 100000 a year. One bill viii
y propose that the 100000 col
: lected by the state coal oil de
e partment be turned over to tn
d state road fund. But no on
: else has volunteered any nev
e wrinkles as yet in raising NOR
'r money for road building.
d The proposition of q state ia
if for good roads is being discuss
lr ed. 1t undoubtedly will come u
d before the legislature in som

If posed by the state highwa
lie association.

A Queer Accident

A queer accident happened at
the home of T. W. Jennings at
Brunswick January 2 when the
stove blew up, scattering pieces
of metal castings in all direc-
tions. One piece went through
the side of the house after
knocking off the corner of the
kitchen table. A colored girl
working there was struck on the
legs by flying bits and bruised.
The explosion was thought to be
due to the clogging of water
pipes with ice and the resistance
of the ice to steam generated by
the heat. The water ran out Of
the reservoir and quenched the
blaze thus saving the house
from incineration.

Stick to Old Customs

]. T. Newsom of Bosworth,
Mo. one of the old-time farmers
of that section, says that far

from the old customs. He says
they simply stick to corn, wheat
and oats, and let the rest of the
grains and forage feeds go.

Afraid of Fire

At Jefferson City, the tempor-

Mr.. watson's speech was greeted
with vociferous applause.
MR.. JACKSON SPEAKS.
The next speaker was F. NJ Jack

Chamber of Commerce. Mr. jackson
made a most excellent impression up
on his audience He stated, succinctly,
that he came here for the purpose Of
informing the secretary of the navy

that in that progressive little burg
that they made everything from the

son made a most favorable impress
sion upon his audience. He was from
Birmingham and while praising Pen
sacola, he extolled the home of Oscar
Underwood. He facetiously said that
the floor leader had taken the wool
off the tariff" Mr.. Jackson's speech
was one of the best that was deliver

Secretary Daniels was introduced.
There was more applause and the dis

was fully two minutes before he
could be heard.
"It gives me great pleasure" he
said, ito greet this pleasant audience
and to be in this city of Pensacola"
The secretary is an entertaining
speaker. While he makes no effort to
soar 20 the heights OF the sublime in
his climaxes, he grows eloquent and
with every word that he utters he car
riers with it a convincing attitude OF
absolute sincerity.
While he was listening to the speak
ers who preceded him he grew grave,
then smiled, then applauded and at
times burst out into laughter as the
joke appealed to him.

Are Women More
Honest Than Men?

Hon. Franklin K. Lane. secretary of
the interior, has raised an interesting
question anent the relative honesty of
men and women. In appointing wom-
an receiver Of the land office at Lead
vile, Colorado. Mr.. Lane said it is
an established fact that money can be
handled more safely by women than
by men.
Managers of large businesses say
this is true and that they rarely have
an instance of dishonesty among fe-
male employees.
On the other hand custom house Of
ficials say that women are the most
persistent smugglers. Hotel proprie-
tors say that women take almost
everything from the obstetrics for
souvenirs.
II women are more honest than men
perhaps they are less subject to temp
ration. Men lead faster lives and drink
and gamble more than women do and
are therefore more liable to dishon-
esty.
At any rate there are not so many
dishonest people after all. The dis
honest man in position Of trust is
the exception, and for every embezzler

The Roosevelt Uplift
In Full Swing.

One has only to look to California
to see the policies of Theodore Roose-
welt in full swing. The legislature OF
that state, which is called the Army
of ArInageddon, is in session and in It
1000 'uplift'' bills have been intro
duced. These proposed measures cover
a wide scope.
They regulate the size OF bird cages
the bees of the state will have COM
mission, a dozen eggs shall weigh just
so much, school children will wear
uniforms, all mothers will receive a
pension, no aviator shall fly while
drunk. soldiers who do not like the
fare at the soldiers homes will get a
state pension so they may board else
where, farmers must curt their weeds
or be fined and so on to the end of
the chapter
There are to be about 500 different
boards, commissions and examiners if
Governor Hiram Johnson's gang all
hangs together TO create them.
The rest of the country may watch
California to see what Roosevelt pro-
gressiveism means. Anyway the most
remarkable legislative body that ever
met in America is in full swing.

withal he does not lose his dignity
for moment.
He had a pleasant word and a smile
for every one who greeted him. The
secretary met a number of old ac-
quaintances, of years ago, in the old
hills of North Carolina. and he was
not long In recalling them. why
Howard, how are you,'' he would say
to some one whom he had not seen
for several years. and with a pat on
the back would add. sit has been a

And it doubtless was.
The secretary is an adept at re-
partee. He always smiles when he

ably follows the shake" with a bright
little story. 1t does not take him
long to recite an anecdote.

Dropping Bryan
and Wilson.

1t is noticeable that the hatred for
the administration shown by the reac-
tionary democrats is more bitter and
vituperative than that of an out and
out republican. They had hoped all
along that the Wilson administration
would fail. In the first few months its
success has been so marked and its
running so smooth that the disap-
Icintment felt by these worthless is
keen.
''Marse Henry watterson of the
Louisville Courier Journal is the most
interesting. while at the same time one
of the most harmless of these critics.
Speaking of the Baltimore convention
Mr.. watterson says:
Then and there. the Courier Jour-
ma. having weakened on Bryan when
he deserted Jim Dahlman. dropped
him altogether, as on a previous oc-
casion finding reason which it deemed
sufficient for equal disapproval 1t had
dropped Wilson. We will not condone
double dealing. We Will not condone
ingratitude, hypocrisy or treachery"
1t seems as If Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Bryan
and the entire administration is get
ting on pretty we'll, thank you, even
after being dropped by Mr.. Waiter
son. When thinking of Mr. watterson
it is charitable TO Pity the sorrows
of a poor old man."

WEDNESDAY, MAY I, 1918.
The President
Shows No Mercy

True to his promise. President WIZ
son went over into New Jersey and
literally fayed the old corrupt gang
that is opposing jury reform. The
president had done too much work to
place the affairs of his home state
on a clean basis, to fail on the home
state on a clean basis, to fail on
the home stretch without another ef-
fort.
While still governor, Mr.. Wilson had
little difficulty in having the seven
reform measures he proposed enacted
into law, but as soon as he went to
Washington, the old regime of corrupt
tricksters began to show it's hand and
brought about the defeat of the bin
taking the selection of juries out of the
hands of the sheriffc.
OF course there are those who criti-
else the president for his action. They
are the same people who have criti-
cised every reform move he has made
and had he failed to go over into New
Jersey, they would have been just as
much disappointed.
The president has made it plain that
he made the fight, not only for local
issue in New Jersey, but for the rank
and file all over the nation.
1t is simply a battle for the people
to take control of their own affairs.
