GOOD ROADS AS TRADE DRAWERS


The Grundy Center Democrat in a
recent issue gives a practical illustra
ton of the value Of good roads to The
business men Of trading centers. It
Is so well told that We give it with
| out change or comment.
a farmer who lives closer to
Grundy Center .han he does to Ell
dora, but who does all OF his banking
and shopping In Eldora, was in one OF
our local banks few days ago to
get bunch Of grain checks cashed.
This farmer had had an account with
this bank before and the banker ask
ed him why he didn't do this part OF
his business here continually. The
farmer said he was very well salts
fled with the treatment he had re-
ceived from the bank but he said they
had gotten into the habit OF driving
to Eldora to do the most OF their
trading and that 1t was handler for
him to do his banking in the town
where they bought their goods. He
said 1t was farther from his place to
Eldora than it was to Grundy Center
but tha. they preferred to drive the
extra distance because the roads lead
ing into that town were kept up bet
ter and that Eldora had paved streets
and his family could get out of their
buggy or car there without soiIing
their clothes. The Influence that
good roads and paved streets have on
this farmer is an influence that is
felt by dozens of other farmers who
should do their business in this town,
but who do not because conditions
are not here what we should make
them. The roads leading into any
town are trade drawer or trade
repeilsr as their condition may be.
Our north and south road. and the
west road has been trade repeller.
These roads instead of being better
than country roads farther out, are
usually much worse, and We have the
word OF farmers themselves that they
keep trade away from here.
a diiapidased road leading into
and in town impresses those who
drive over it about the same as does

call at house of that kind only when
1t is absolutely necessary and outsid-

reason when the roads leading into

Munsey Would Get Together

Chicago Inter Ocean: Frank A..
Munsey covered the entire first page
of Tuesdays issue of the Press, his
New York daily newspaper with an
argument for an alliance between
the Republican and Progressive par
ties, based on the fact that in the re-
cent election they cast together $685.
o33 more votes than were given to
Woodrow Wilson.
Mr. Munseys suggestion derives I'm
portance from the fact that Mr.. Nun
sey was the leading angel of the
late Roosevelt campaign. That dis
tinction is usually credited to George
w Perkins, but evidently belongs TO
Mr.. Munsey when the value of the
space he gave to the Roosevelt cause
In his numerous publications is also
taken into the account.
Mr.. Munsey, who thus speaks with
a certain authority in Progressive cir
cles, argues that the Republican and
Progressive parties are really not
very far apart when tested by com
parison Of their platforms. On that
point we fear many persons win diff
fer seriously with Mr.. Munsey.
He then suggests that state con-
ferences be held for the purpose OF
getting together on principles and
policies and to agree on new name
for the combined parties. Behind the
new name idea is doubtless the
thought that the habit Of the south OF
yYcting for the Democratic" label
might be changed if the name RE
publican" were dropped by the com.
peting party.
1t is self-evident that the material
interests, of the south should In
creasingiy incline voters there to
tariff and other policies for which the
Republican party has stood rather
than to the historic democratic posi-
ton on these policies. With rapid
growth of manufactures the south
naturally thinks more of Protection
and less of Free Trace.
With the growth OF socialism, avow-
ed and disguised, and of resistance to
socialism, the American people natur-
ally tend to divide politically as
Radicals and Conservatives. The
Democrats have been more or less
split on these lines since the advent
of Mr.. Bryan. On the same lines the
old Republican party has been rent
In twain by Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t has been frequently suggested
that the political facts might as well
be recognized and that party names
should be adjusted to accord with the
facts. Mr. Munsey's suggestion may
have some effect toward promoting
such adjustment. So may the probable
failure of the Democrats to please
anybody in their efforts at tariff re-
vision.
From the viewpoint OF the true in
terests of the south, and for the sake
OF getting it out of the political back.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-In deciding to
revive the ancient barony of Furni-
vail in favor OF the Hon. Mary
Frances Petre, King George has
added another to the small but select
band of women who possess titles in
their own right, and who may go
through life bearing those honors
and trailing around a titless hus-
band.
1t is perhaps fortunate for the eau
tious hotel keeper that the list is
short one-tTere are only twenty of
this class of the peeresses. He can
keep them fairly well in mind, so
that when. for instance, Baroness
Gray, accompanied by Mr.. James
Smith. apply for the same apartments,
he will know that everything is per-
fectly all rieht and there can be no
possible scandal.
Most Of the womens titles are due
to the male or female succession pro-
visions granted to favored noblemen,
by former monarchs, or to unusual
clauses inserted in some Of the an
cient patents enabling both sons ana
daughters to share their parents
titles. In the case of viscountess
Hammedon, however, the title was
bestowed directly as mark of appre-
citation OF the public services OF her
husband. the late w. II. Smith. This
famous founder Of the big book-selling
and news agent concern of w. H.
Smith & Son, was too democratic to
care for title himself and several
times refused Queen yictoria's offer
of a coronet. But at his death, the
queen insisted on ennobling the wild
