The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1913-04-25
GOVERNOR BREWER IND ROADS

Governor Brewer of Mississippi reiterates his earlier declaration
that Mississippi ought to build her part of the national highway be-
tween New Orleans and Chicago.
The Governor is right. Mississippi ought to do her part. So
ought Louisiana and Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. Such a
highway would be worth to each of those states more than a new
line of rairoad-because the visible evidences of what that highway
would mean to the region through which it passed would stimulate
as nothing else could popular appreciation of the benefits of right
transportation facilities.
Incidentally, the parishes in Louisiana are slowly working out
their share of this highway to the Mississippi line. Almost a third
of the distance between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is built. An
other third will be constructed either now voted or soon to be voted.
Baton Rouge decided unanimously the other day on a special tax to
complete the link between Hope Villa. near the Ascension line, and
the capital city.
State action by Mississippi almost certainly would be the means
of bringing the Chicago-New Orleans Highway into being. The
other commemorative could not afford to disregard her precedent.
N, o. Item.
Mississippi has led in many things which have later been adopt
ed by other states, and especially those of the South, and at this
time there could hardly be anything done that would add more to
the development of the state than permanent road building. The
road the Item refers to would come nearer reaching all the people
and furnishing an object lesson. One good thing about the pro
posed road, it would necessarily traverse Grenada county and be o
great benefit to Grenada.

SOMETHING MISSISSIPPI " EEDS

We are so primitive and backward in this state in enacting pro-
gressve legislation safeguarding the peoples interests, it is well tc
call attention to the experience of some other states in correcting
evils and abuses which have grown up with little thought or atten-
ton from the people. Take the state of Wisconsin for example
which through LaFolettes influence, perhaps leads all other states
in r~emedying systems and evils from which the people suffer. The
first year that the bureau of weights and measures operated in that
state it found the following: Scales $50 correct, 2O4 condemned
for being incorrect and I67 corrected; weights, S24 of the same
were found correct. 1914 were condemned and IL were corrected;
measuring pumps, 4S7 were correct, 3SS were corrected and I2t
were utterly condemned; liquid measures, Is per cent were correct
and * per cent were condemned; of the dry measures, only 3Io were
correct and the enormous sum of 6S.I were condemned; of linear
measures, the per cent of correctness was even smaller, only 20 pei
cent being correct and JOS being condemned, Wisconsin's expert
ence suggests that a bureau of weights and measures, with provis
ions for its enforcement, would be well to have in every state.-Co

4 CHANCE IN TICHISB URG

The writer was in Vicksburg last week and noted the "dryness'
of the atmosphere as compared with a few months ago, and while
we had no desire to interview John Barleycorn dispensers, yet we
observed that the thirsty ones were compelled to seek an island
which nobody dared to claim or would admit owning. We also
noted in the press of that city that the Circuit Judge had the day
before imposed heavy fines and Jail sentences upon two white mer
who had standing" in the community.
What a transition! From what we could gather, it took the
district attorney, the county prosecuting attorney and special coun
sci engaged by Gov. Brewer to locate the tigers dens. We con
graduate Gov. Brewer and the city of Vcksburg on the marked
change.

TfLUE OF GOOD ROADS

Summarizing in J. paragraph some of the advantages of good
roads, a set of resolutions adopted by an Illinois Good Roads asso-
citation says:
Improved roads mean better schools and larger attendance,
better health and quicker transportation, better farms and more cl-
tivated land, better crops and cheaper transportation, better eco
nomic conditions and more producers, better social conditions and
less isolation, better church attendance and better citizens, better
postal service and closer friends, better business and more consum-
ers. better industries and more employment, a bette. state and bet
ter nation"
These are all things quite worth while. Good roads cost money,
but the returns compensate for the expenditure.

an ARKANSAS FARMER WRITES

An Arkansas farmer, who was reared in Mississippi. answers the
question why many farmers are not producers. The following letter
to the Dixie calhoun county, Herald is worthy of consideration by
the agricultural interests:
Plumervile, Ark, March IS.
Buying fertilizer and deeds of trust is the order of the day. The
farmers here buy meat. bread, corn, hay. and would buy stovewood
if the merchants would keep it in stock. am speaking of the ma
jorty of the farmers; occasionally you strike up with some old fell
low who has plenty of meat and bread, but they are very few.

Plumerville, Ark, March *.

The Civic Leagve of Grenada is very much interested in fight
ing the dust evil and have suggested that the city purchase another
wagon sprinkler. OF course what the city should purchase is a mat
ter for the council to Judge, but the Sentinel joins most heartily in
the demand o. the good ladies of the league for the distribution of
more water and for less dust. Outside of the damage caused by the
dust to merchandise and household goods, il is a germ carrier and a
breeder Of disease, 1t is always wise to act on the advice of the
women.

CHICAGO, March 22.-Judge Lands Of
the United States district court passed
to some other federal judge yesterday
the question of acceptance Of a 5000 fine
which had been imposed, together with
a prison term of fifteen months by him
against Hyman Rosenfeld, a saloon
keeper, who was one of eight persons
found guilty Of operations in the So
called West Side whisky ring" two
years ago. The court gave as reason
congestion of business"
Rosenfeld was convicted for having
knowingly bought and sold whisky on
which no revenue tax was being paid. He
appealed the case, and after nearly two
years of fighting the decision Of Judge
Lands was affirmed by the higher court.
Pressure was brought to bear on President
Taft and shortly before he left office he
revoked the prison sentence of the saloon
keeper, but allowed the fine to stand.

READY TO ENTER RACE
Sir Thomas Upton Would Meet
Any Challenger Of so to go
Feet in Length.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The recon
sideration" which the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club has asked the New York Yacht
Club to make of its refusal to accept the
Lipton challenge for the Americas cup
may place the New York club in an en-
barrassing position. 1t is indicated that
Sir Thomas Upton will eliminate any
condition from his challenge. but chal-
lenging with a seventy-five-footer he will
enter a race, If it is possible to obtain
one, against any challenger from sixty
to ninety feet in length, as provided in
the deed of gift of the Americas cup.
Yachtsmen' expressed the opinion today
that If this proposition was made the
New York club would be forced to accept
the challenge; and il a ninety-foot boat
was used as the defender the race would
be SO much Of a farce that l;d,e,,le american
n was reported today that the New
York club might reply to the Royal Ulster ss
club as early as Monday next, although
