Editor Graphic:
I noticed in your paper of recent
date an article from Sheriff. that was
intended to reflect on the county
Judge in his administration of the
road work in that locality.
| wish to be permitted to state, for
the benefit of the taxpayers OF our
county, that of all the people OF this
county those around Sheriff. have the
least cause for complaint. 1t is said
by those who know, and wish to be
fair. that there has been more eff
Gent work done on the roads in that
neighborhood during my admlnlstra-
ton than ever before in the history OF
the county. They certainly. received
more than their pro rata last year.
After going over those roads twice in
my endeavor to satisfy, sent an out

what they thought ought to be done.

of jefferson county, giving due con-
sideration to all, and in working the
roads | propose to commence this
year where left off last. l am going
to make desperate effort to work
them all. and will ask the public to
have patience, and be reminded that
if is impossible to fill every mudhole
the same day. The mudholes are few

be-and we are going to make them
still fewer and farther apart.
Quit kicking and lend your efforts
to making better roads. When you
see a chunk in the road, stop and re-
move it; remember they are what
make mudholes.

Memphis, Tenn, May LA through
boat between Memphis andA.ittle Rock
may be in operation by June 1. if the
plans of Capt. Henry C. Daniels, pres

who was in Memphis today to confer
with local merchants, do not miscarry.
He returned home this afternoon.
Capt Daniels was formerly master of
the steamer Grand, which once ran
between these two points. At present
the only river service on the Arkan-
sas river is carried on by the Kate

wood at Rosedale, Miss. This boat

Pine Bluff.
"There is no doubt as to the need

enough merchants in line to organize

Capt. Daniels has interested a num-
Der of Little Rock business men in
the plan. He made arrangements
with John M. Tucker, SECRETARY OF the
Business Mems club of this city, for
the matter to be taken up at a COM
mittee meeting in the near future.

j That the Salaries paid city officials

WI deny. Seventy dollars for a po-
.liceman month Is certainly no ex-
.tortipn. Forty, dollars a month Tor
"a 1anttor is not a living wage. The
city clerk lives constant service for
,$125. a month. Coal miners make
than that. Skilled mechanics
can get that in two weeks. One hun
.dred dollars a month is certainly not
too much for chief of police. All
the tax, collector gets is $125 a
month and it is certainly not too
mucn for his services. And thus Il
Us all the way down the list.
Where can there be retrenchment
IN this? Nine policemen besides the
chief and lieutenant are certainly not
too many, eleven all told, on two
shifts, one In the day time and the
other at night.
There is demand for an expansion.
of the fire department, which II
needed will mean more flremen. The

That certainly is not too much for

West Virginia was. severely criti-
cized for using its own troops to put
down what Ibordered on a state of
anarchy in some Of its coal fields and
the United States Senate deemed it
necessary to order an investigation
OF the situation. West Virginia set
tied the trouble. Colorado has used
its state troops in the Colorado strike
troubles but without success and now
federal troops have been sent there.
West Virginia towers head and
shoulders above Colorado as shown
by its success and Colorado's fail
ure. Those United States senators
who howled so much over the fact
that West Virginia troops were
used have an occasion now
for sober thought over the fact that
conditions are SO much worse in an
other state that it has been found
imperative to despatch federal troops
to that state to do away with civil
strife. They should hand West Vir-
ginia fine bouquet. -

Road Bearine on War.


The Laredo to Saltillo road, regard
ed by army officers as the best as well
as the shortest military route to Mex
leo City, will present unexpected diff
culties TO an invading army, according
to a statement issued by the American
Highway Association, the. clearing
house OF the road movement in Amer.
lea, at the Washington headquarters
today.
Within a few weeks, the season for
rain will begin in Mexico, and owing
to the failure of the officials of that
country to. maintain their roads, many
OF the highways will become impass-
able. There are three routes by which
an invading army might enter Mexico,
the one starting at Laredo, which
avoids the long desert; another by way
of FL Paso, and the third by way Of
Eagle Pass.
According to the statement Of the
American Highway Association, the
roads In Mexico are in such bad con-
dition that the hauling of artillery
over them will be very difficult, es-
pecially after the rainy season sets in
and the highways become heavy with
mud.
with the exception Of the valley OF
Mexico and a few mining regions,
there are few, improved roads in the
country, In most sections they are little
better than the unimproved earth
road, and very little work is done
either In repair or maintenance, except
assis absolutely necessary for immedi-
ate traffic.
In the state of Chihuahua, where
Carranza and Villa have their politi-
cal headquarters, q government ap-
preparation, amounting to only 1880
in gold each year, Is made with view
to keeping the roads and bridges in
repair. i On the haciendas, which in
seome instances are larger than one
,of our countries, the necessary roads
are crudely maintained by the owners
merely for their own convenience.
The laws OF Mexico provide that the
roads be at least thirty-six feet wide
and that they be repaired each year.
Failure to comply with these provis-
ions entails double fine on the Of
Tending persons, the fine being paid,
theoretically, in either. labor or mon
! ey. There is no attempt to enforce
this law, and the roads are given little
attention.
In Cuba and the Philippines, the
first work that was required from the
army, after sanitation had been ac-
complished, was the Improvement Of
the roads. The. Philippines had no
road system when the American army
landed, but now there is a very mod
ern system to, be found in the islands.
The advance of civilization. according
to the American Highway Association,
usually can be gagged by a nations
highways. -..ss, -.
