planking the bridge" said a member

Rails Counties over the Cross State
Highway last Thursday. We found
the road ideal in many localities
and most impossible in others.
From Monroe to HunnewelI there
is a strip of road that is a credit to
Missouri. j. M Proctor has spent
the last year working, planning and
building this road. Of course 9TH
erj have assisted him, while some
have grumbled, but the road is
built and will stand as a monument
to Jim Proctor and those who as
sisted him. The road has been
widened and graded, concrete cul-
verts % feet wide have been put
in. The farmer can put on a load
and bring it to town with some sat-
isfaction, the automobolist can start
his car at Hunnewell and forget
all about roads while he drives in
to Monroe. The road from this city
to Hassard is in good condition but
hardly finished. II. c, Benson, the
road overseer in the Hassard dis
triCt is giving the association his
earnest support and has done some
good work From HasSard to Hunt
ington. the road has until the past
two years been very bad but now
its like paved street. Clay Under
hill aud other progressive citizen
spent lot of time and energy in
building the road but with the as
sistance of some of the farmers in
that community they built a great
road while the kickers stood back
and kicked, j. :,
From Huntington to Hannibal
the road is disgrace to a civilized
country. Below Huntington that
is two miles of narrow road with
a hedge fence from IL to Is feet
high on one side and a ditch in the
middle of the road making it all
most impasSibble. Some of the
citizens along this road that we
talked to are anxious to help build
a good road while others are indif-
ferent. The road overseer has been
appealed to many times, but some
unaccountable reasons turns a deaf
ear. There is great deal of dissat-
isfaction in this district as there has
been almost no road work done at
the proper time in three years, and
the road is in a horrible condition.
Evidently a change of overSeers is
necessary.
From Rensselaer, to Hannibal
little work has been done and we
experienced great deal of Difficult
ty in getting an autOmobileover the
road but that thank to a good driv-
er and a courageous bunch of COM
panions we landed safely.
We discussed road matters with
a number of road builders and with
members Of the Commercial Club
at Hannibal, There is some hope
of getting the road completed
through Rensselaer, as the CONNER
cial Club has on deposit $400 and
the farmers along the line have
raised like amount.
One thing is certain said Execu-
tive Committeeman Pine and Fahy !

Buffum Rules Announced.
Frank W. Buffum, state highway
commissioner, has laid down sever
al requirements which must be met
by every county before it will be
able to get any of the money set
aside for the dragging of intercounty
seat roads. Summarized these are:
1. The road must be DO feet in
width, of which 80 feet is to be the
crown of the road.
2. Every road must be graded
and the bitches opened.
3. Concrete or other permanent
culverts must be constructed.
a. The grading must be done be-
fore late fall, so that the roads will
become hard.
The legislature appropriated
$225,000 for the dragging of inter-
county seat roads, to be selected
by county highway boards appoint
ed by the county courts of the sew
eral counties. The routes selected
from county seat must be the most
feasible.

TIE LAW IS LIBERTY.

That sounds like a paradox. But
some seeming paradoxes are the most
profound truths. The only man who
Is truly free Is he who so wholly lives
within the law that he does not feel II
and is scarcely conscious of its ex.
istence.
This is true OF the moral law. Of the
natural law and Of the human law.
True liberty Is the freedom from
lawless desires.
Transgression OF the moral and nat
nral law means destruction for our
selves individually. Transgression OF
the human law means interference
with societJ and the rights of others.
This also reacts on ourselves. Thus
by seeking liberty outside the law
we bring ourselves into bondage.
The only true freedom is within the
law The law marks the boundaries
Of liberty.
We talk Of breaking the law. but
such a thing is impossible. We only
break ourselves.
The law is exactly as 1t was before.
