From Williams to the County
Courts Offers Aid in
Good Roads Work.

A. D. Williams, of Morgantown
chief road engineer of the state, has
sent letters to members of county
court as follows:
AS a member of your county court
and as substantial citizen of your
county, am writing you to get ac-
quainted and at the same time to offer
unto you any service this department
can render you In your official capac
ity. This bureau wants your co-opera-
ton and assures unto you It's willing
ness to serve, because without mu-
tual understanding we will not be to
each other what we should be. We
can and are willing to help you and
you can help US by seeing that we get
from your road engineer, and super
intendent, clerk and jailer reports
necessary to enable US to get out to
you information that can help you.
We do not want to dictate but help.
We do want to do all we can in this
way. We want to assist in establish
ing system ofroads that will connect
each county seat with the county seats
of adjoining counties and thereby es-
tablish across the state east and west,
north and south, through trunk lines
that will attract. to our state the
wealthy tourists that now pass US and
spend their money with others as well
as making it possible for us to travel
over our own state. market our prod
ucts or get our supplies with degree
of satisfaction.
One thing we want to ask you to
join us in first is a move to get our
roads on good grades and we'll drained
and surface cleaned of large, loose
stones, etc. This is step on perma-
nent roads. One lhorse-oa. level
ground can move as much as four
like horses on 6 per cent, six on 10
per cent, or nine on Is per cent Last
winter in one county of this state one
horse on paved and macadam road
moved a load that required six horses
on undrained dirt road of same grade.
The loss to farmers and team owners
IN this state due to bad grades and
poor drainage cannot be estimated,
but this bureau feels safe in Saying
that IL our roads were in shape SO as
to save this loss in five years time the
amount saved would equal the cost OF
regarding and surfacing our roads. II
costs money to build roads but a great
deal Of our expenditures in this state
can be better applied IL we would ap.
ply there with more thought. Road
building IS a business and require!
training as we'll as any other bushes!
and this board is going to ask you. t.
join with US ip helping your distric
and other officers to get out of wha.
money they spend the best possible
results. We recognize that there is n,
!, perfect road system and. none of u
are perfect. We have made mistake
/ in the past and will doubtless max
others but by a concerted co-operativ
effort we can avoid duplicating thos
already made. BY your help this blu
reau expects to keep you posted as I,

Senator hitchcock, Democrat, lii
a recent debate in the Senate. de-
clared that the Democratic party
caucus was Democratic political
machine. This is an awful saying
in face of the fact that the usual
Democratic stump speaker boots at
the idea that the Democratic party
ever had machine, and it is simply
shocking to that part of the DEM
ocratic press teeming over with as
sufances to the people that the
great commoner whose name is Will
liam y. Bryan would tolerate party
machine even one second.

Speaker Before Drainage
Congress Says Government
Should Take Steps

st. Louis. April 10.-1mperative and
prompt measures to prevent floods
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
and tributaries were urged by Isham
Randolph in an address before the Ma.
tional Drainage congress today. Ran
dolph held that the regulation od
flood waters is necessarily a federal
duty and suggested that eventually q
new member of the cabinet to be head
of federal department of public
works would be necessary. He advo-
Gated the building of reservoir sys-
TENS that would be a flood preventa-
tive. Even though the expense would
be enormous. it would be a good in
vestment when the saving in human
lives and property annually is consid-
cred.
This is the first day of a three-day
session of the congress. The. chief
work is the preparation Of bill to
be introduced in the national congress.
providing for comprehensive plan
for drainage and flood protection.
kilograms from public men. includ.
ing President Wilson and prominent
engineers, were read at the morning
session. Senators Rasdell Of I.ouis-

gress. The presidents telegram said
the calamity in Ohio and Indiana made

Many of Industrial Centers
of Belgium are Occupied
Today by Soldiers.
STRIKE IS BLOW
AT VOTING SYSTEM
Socialist Party Demands That But Ono
Vote Be Given Each Man-Under
Present System One. Two or Three
Arc Allowed.

Brussels. Belgium. April 1o-Troop6
occupy much Of the great Industrial
centers Of Belgium today in prepara-
ton for the general strike ordered for
Monday. when 100000 to 100000 men
will quit work. In most of the cities
large crowds are gathered to watch
the arrival of troops and they cheered
the soldiers as they marched.
Socialist strike leaders in various
localities offered to the authorities
the services Of special constables.
drawn from their own ranks, to aid
in preserving order. They affirm that
any outbreak of violence would be
death to their cause for half q gener-
alton.
The strike is an attack on the pres
ent system Of plural voting in Bel.
gium, whereby citizens have one. two
or three votes. according to their sta
ton in life. The strikers demand that
each male citizen have only one vote.
Under the present system every citi-
zen over 25 has one vote, over IS, with
one or more children and paying 81
or more house tax, a supplementary
one. as also have the citizens over
25 owning S400 worth of real estate.
Two supplementary votes are given to
graduates Of universities or men who
hold office or ex-office holders. No
person can have more than three
votes
