GOOD ROADS BENEFIT

Census Bureau Shows Several Mil

Census reports show that in 1909 there
We're 24,0ooGO0 children in the United
States of school age, but that only II 800.
ptU We're enrolled in the public schools.
This would indicate that there are several
million children who are deprived, for
one reason or another. from obtaining
an education. and there is no doubt that
!. large number of those are prevented
from attending school on account Of bad
roads. says a bulletin of the Department

many which are not closed have a nomi-

That improved roads would benefit our

There should be no trouble in a
union # hte Republicans and Pro-
gressives on a Senatorial candidate
in Kentucky this year. The party
in power in the States needs oppo-
sition strong enough to compel good
behavior. This will be admitted by
good citizens OF al parties. The
present State administrator, as rep
resented during the last session of tn
legislature, gave abundant evidence
along this line. 1t was condemned by
all the Democratic newspapers and
by Democratic speakers, as well. 1t
failed TO do the things it should have
done and dH number OF things for
which II was soundly abused by ev-
erybody. The only. way to correct
these evils is to have two strong par
ties in this State. II cannot be
done by allowing some party to run
things by default. No one can afford
TO throw stumbling blocks in the
way of a union of the elements which
oppose Democracy.

Rising to prominence in the councils
of his party, however. he was once the
Republican caucus nominee for the
United States Senate before HE was 80
years old.
In 1870 Bradley was elected County
Attorney of Garrard County. In 1872
he was Republican Elector of the
Eighth Congressional District and
later made the race for Congress as a
Republican, but was defeated. In 1876
he again made an unsuccessful race
for Congress in the Eighth District.
He was four times chosen Republican
National Committeeman for Kentucky
and went as delegate at large IRON
Kentucky to five Republican National
Conventions. Four times previous to
this he was chosen as the Republican

started afresh the talk of probable

candidate and We say this without

Among the views of prominent nfen
of business quoted in the New York
Sun Of May 8, relative to the lmprov-
ed business prospect created by the
promise CT abundant crops, the OBJ
servation Of Mr.. A. ID. Juillard is
worthy of note.
Tie report of good wheat crop is a
very encouraging feature in the bust
ness outlook. This will help mater
ally in accelerating a general in
dustrlal and commercial revival.
There are too many men out OF
employment now TO make 1t easy TO
proIllct how rapidly the revival of
business wild progress.
In the second paragraph Mr.. Juillard
touches the vital spot of the question
of business revival. Where two or
three million workers are idle and
where the pay envelope contributions
TO the channels of trade are thereby
diminished, the revival OF business
cannot possibly be swift or complete.
The real problem OF the hour is. how
to put those two or three idle million
workers back linton the jobs
they have lost through FreeT-rade

European powers
