A Rocky Road To Hyden.

Rev. E. c. McDougal, of the Eastern
Normal faculty, is back from Hyden,
Leslie county, where he took part in the
dedication of the splendid graded school.
He told the Climax that his trip on the
b.. & E. as far as Krypton, 16 miles from
Hyden, was uneventful and rather
pleasant, but il was rocky road to-
not Jordon-but Hyden, from there He
not only had to ride horseback but the
road, which was almost impossible, lay
for good part of the way down the bed
of Middle Fork creek. II took him five
hours to make the trip and as he had to
come back the same way. he was ten
hours in tie saddle on his mountain
trip. Such horseback ride would be
of very little consideration to a noun
tain youth or even to mountain cir
cult rider, as a preacher who has several
al churches under his watchcare, is fire.
qnently called. but to dignifed college
professor it must have been something
terrible. On his trip Mr.. McDougle got
glimpse of ''CutshIn" and Hell For
Sartin' creeks which are made more or
less famous in John Fox's novel The
Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come. >
Wanting to see little of country sur
rounding the capital of Leslie county,
Mr. McDougle tried to procure buggy
and was informed that there was no
such thing in town and very likely none
in the county. Mail is carried to Hyden
by star route from London, distance of
nearly so miles. Friday morning S
Lexington Herald came in on Sunday
nights mail and other publications were
as old when they reached the energetic
newsbcy of that little city. Provisions,
wearing apparel, etc, are hauled across
the mountains from the nearest railroad
station at IS cert IS per 100 pounds Gran
ulated sugar retails at eight cents per
pound and other necessities are proper
ti3nately high. Mr. McDougal says
that there are many fine people in the
town and goodly number OF subtantial
homes. There is decided upward ten
dency as regards education and
he thinks there is a bright future for the
place.

FRANK E. ROBINS, Editor
PUBLIC UTILITIES vs.. PRIVATE
INTERESTS.

The Russellville Courier Democrat
of recent date has the following very
pertinent editorial anent questions of
public utility, which are so often held
in check by private interests. There
is so much food for thought in the
article that we publish it in full:
Unfortunate for the public at large,
an element of personal selfishness is
manifest in connection with almost
every public improvement or under
taking for the public good.
This personal selfishness-th de-
sire for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
whether for political or for pecuniary
benefits always hampers, and often
completely blocks such public move
ments. Sifted to the bottom, it SIM
ply means that some men who pose as
public spirited citizens-who believe
themselves to be philosophical and
progressive--are not big enough after
ali to lose sight Of self and consider
only the public good. They favor such
movements partly, and perhaps large
ly, through Interior gain in one form
or another; and being thwarted in
this, they become lukewarm support
ers or perhaps active opponents of the
proposition, not only to their own
hurt, but to the hurt of their neigh
bors and the detriment of the whole
community. 1t takes a real man to
entirely lay aside self in such matters
and push onward with eye and energy
centered only on the public good.
In our capital city recently a fran
chise was sought for a proposed inter
urban line. 1t was good proposition.
Everyone was for it. Doubtless man
could not have been found in the en-
tire city who was opposed to it. But
when it came to locating the right-of-
way, there's where the littleness of
man manifested itself. Every time q
proposed route was suggested, prop
eTty oWHefS along tnlS route WOulo
rise up loud in protests. mo" they
would say, 1--WE don't want the tracks
in front of our house. Put it on some
other street" This procedure kept W
until the Arkansas Gazette sarcastic
ally suggested editorially that fran.
chise be granted the interurban fol
an overhead entrance into the city.
In another town not so far away
the people have clamored for new
depot for number of years. They
have miserable old shack located ir
the heart of the town, and the rail
road company has agreed to give then
new and modern depot. Plans were

should have her husband investigate
our monthly income policy before TAX

provides an income of from $4,000 to

submitted and the citizens were de
lighted with the proposed building
But when it came to its location, ev
erywhere it was proposed to locate it
some person owning abutting property
would say, mo, | don't want it here
The railroad company finally became
disguised and said to the people
I'VE are willing to build your depot
Agree among yourselves as to where
i you want it and the work will go for
ward when you are ready" This was
some two years ago, and the people
are still wrangling over the location.
individuals were not big enough and
broad-minded enough to lose sight of
self, and submit to the building being
located where it would be the greatest
convenience to the greatest number.
In the meantime they have deprived
themselves and their neighbors of the
new building, and have proven barna-
cles on the ship Of progress. Yet the
NCiy VIVID WIN nave DlOIhctdCd pIOS
less call themselves progressive
Or, to bring the illustration to our
own doors, it is generally admitted
that this same spirit thwarted our re-
cent efforts to secure new court
house People who owned property
wanted the courthouse moved or didn't
want it moved, according to its suppos-
ed effect upon their property values,
and the dissention thus started in our
own ranks perhaps did more than all
outside opposition combined to defeat
the proposed new courthouse.
These should prove object lessons
for our future guidance, and cause
us to take a big, broad, liberal, man
sized view of public matters. When
we allow self-interest to be considered,
split in the ranks is inevitable.
Russellville looks forward to an APP
preparation for federal building, and
long before we had and assurance
whatever of such appropriation, per-
sonal interests were maneuvering for
vantage points in deciding upon a To-
cation that would benefit their person
! al interests. Wouldn't it speak well
for our citizenship as a whole, if we
ever get this coveted plum, to elimi-
nate all such considerations and lei
the building be located with the single
view of the greatest good to the great
est number?
At the present time we are con.
fronted with another proposition t.
which the same thought may we'll be
applied. In the proposed Dardanelle
and Russellville free bridge movement
commissioners are to be appointed
boundary lines established, assessment
of benefits made, etc.
Is our citizenship big enough anC
broad enough to handle this PROPOSE
ton as a public matter, with a view
only to the public good, and giving the
interests of the public first considera
ton in every issue? Or will selfish
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1913-02-25

interests be allowed to creep in, Gre
ating discard in our own ranks and
throwing a damper on the entire
movement, and perhaps thwarting it
in the end?
This proposition should be studied
carefully and the peoples interests
carefully safeguarded, but personal ag-
grandizement in any form should be
ignored. When the people realize that
this is being done, then they will unite
and stand united for any reasonable
and feasible improvement.
