IMPROVING CROSS STATE ROADS.
Davenport Democrat.l
Not only here At home. but from
various points along the River TO River
road. comes endorsement Of Tho Demo
Gratis stand that. whatever roads the
Scott county supervisors take action to
improve, the River to River road
should be one Of the drst in their es-
timation and their care.
The simple fact that Davenport 10
the gateway for any cross state route
that now happens to pass thru Scott
county should be one or the best rea-
sons for doing as much or even more
to promote one of these cross state
highways" writes one correspondent
from interior Iowa. Seeming lack ol
interest has a disastrous effect on work
farther west on these routes In Iowa.
Davenport, and Scott county should be
a model for the balance of the state
highway promotion for all cross-state
routes"
Much interest is being shown In the
Improvement of these routes In many
other counties. IN one, offers OF nun
dreds Of loads of gravel and cash and
work amounting 10 thousands Of dol
lars have been made by communities OF
farmers TO &c, the roads to pass their
farms.
On one petition in Pocahontas coun-
ty. a thousand loads Of gravel were
promised. Dozens OF men have guar
an,eed hundred days work with
man and team The totals OF days OF
work offered on Ave petitions ran $751;,
27l. 700, $50 and a4o. Numerous cash
contributions of $40 10 $50 were
pledged. I. the state highway COM
mission finds it acceptable TO desig-
nate the roads desired, the cost OF
many county highways will be cut
down materially.
This local enthusiasm for certain
routes is a fine thing FOR the state,
but it should not diver, attention from
the main point, that the duty OF the
county as a whole is toward those
roads which will serve the county and
also the state as Whole. The sug-
gestions OF system in the new road
law should be extended so as to cover
as wide field as possible.

Little is to be said about burllhs-
toms election except that the result is
what host of people expected after
the division Of the former rcpubllcah
strength between two sets of candt-
datcs. 1T was predicted in some quar-
ters that Mr.. Thomas would draw
many labor votes from Mr. Burke but
the figures, compared with those of
the previous city election and the rep
rcscntative contest last fail, tend to
show that Mr.. Burke held the demo-
cratic vote while the dscrcditing or
the claim of the workingmcn's organ
iaation that they would help promote
citizens ticket has lesson for fu-
turc elections.
The nomination of Mr.. Thomas sim
ply helped to elect Mr.. Burke, although
Mr. Drew narrowly escaped winning
with part of the natural strength OF
his party eliminated.
Mr.. Burke conducted quiet clean
canvass, and he win receive the hearty
cooperation Of our citizcns in every
move he may make toward gool gov
eminent.
The result in the election If alder

cally as predicted in these columns

President Taft and opposed the new GUS
toms distribution plan, which would unite

their plea based on mountain line bar

two separate districts because the emolu-
ments of a united district would bestow
on the single customs collector too much
