Senator Moore Out for Lee.

The most significant development of
the situation came late this week when
State Senator John r. Moore OF Wor-
cester county. business associate and in
innate personal and political friend of
Smith came out fatfooted for Blair Lee
for the short term. In announcing his
choice for the senate. Moore said:
Il shall go down the line for Lee and
do all within my power TO brig about
his nomination and election. Asked
whether his attitude reflected the choice
OF Smith. Moore replied:
II am only speaking for myself. /
have no authority to make any state
ment for Senator Smith. but, | repeat.
! am for Lee.
The situation within the democratic
party today is such that the old machine
is practically leaderless in both the city
and state. Smiths attitude shows that
he has lost the throttle and Mahon Is not
regarded as the city leader save by a
few close satellites. the rank and file
having split up between Kelly, Padgett.
I>oden and several other leaders in the
several political strongholds of the city.

perity and Help Community.

In order to have a prosperous state
1t is necessary that the wage Garner as
well as the farmer and business man
be prosperous. No other factor Of our
civilization contributes more to the
glory of the city than good roads.
They distribute the necessaries of life
from the source of production to the
place Of consumption. Economy Of
transportation is regarded by all as
the chief factor in the cost Of living.
Good roads will bring to the man
with the dinner pail cheaper and bet
ter food products. Good roads will
give labor lift by placing millions Of
dollars in circulation among the toilers
of the state. Good roads are a stimu-
lus not only to agriculture. but also to
Industrial and commercial growth. The
canals. steam roads and the electric
roads were all agencies in developing
the prosperity Of our thriving state.

modern roads will bring renewed en-

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

In Their Favor.

The Economy Of Time 10 Chief Factor
In Their Favor.
No one questions the statement that
good roads have a high money value to
the farmers Of the nation, and 1t may
he said that this alone Is sufficient to
justify the cost Of their construction
rs rapidly as practicable under an eff
cient. economical and equitable system
Of highway Improvement
The big point in favor OF this ex-
penditure is the economy OF time and
force in transportation between farm
and market. enabling the growers to
take advantage Of fluctuations in buy
ing and selling. as well as enhancing
the value Of real estate. 1t Is esti-
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads is &c cents an acre,
while the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the public
roads is 80.
The losses in FIVE years would ag-
gregate s.. 49, for every section OF land.
or more than enough to improve two
miles Of public highway. The neces-
sity Of good roads is obvious. as 1t
would enhance the value of each Sec
ton Of land about 81. 160. or more than
double the estimated cost of two miles
Of improved highway. which constitutes
the quota for $40 acres of land.
