If this country should be forced sto declare war against Mexico am in favor of the United States getting all the fruits of victory. 1 am opposed to any revolution such as pre- vented us from annexing Cuba after the Spanish war. If our forces are victorious in Mexico 1 am certainly in favor of annex ing the Southern republic. In my opinion it is only d question of time until we take everything as far south as the F n a m a Canal.

GOOD ROADS AID SANITATION
If All Highways Were Improved There Would Be Appreciable Better
 ment of Public Health.

Friends of good roads should add to their usual arguments one which is not so frequently used. but is very i'm. portant-namely. that good roads are direct aids to sanitation.
 Weeds and other rank vegetable growths are prolific breeders of flies, mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects. Sound road building causes the removal of weeds and similar trash. Weed and brush undergrowths by the roadside invite deposit Of gar bage and offal Good roads do away with these disease-breeding agencies
 Good roads also prevent disease by providing good drainage Many farms have no drainage except by ditches along the side of the road Open ditches, clear of brush and debris, of hard surface and proper fall afford farms an opportunity to rid them selves of stagnant pools.
 Oiling of roads destroys insect lar vac. Dry, hard roads also enable pc. destrians, especially the thousands Of school children who, in country locaI. ties, walk quite distance to and from school. to keep their shoes and stock ings dry, thus preventing colds. and their frequent consequences, pneu. monia and tuberculosis
 Logical tracing of effects to causes leaves no ground for doubt that If all the roads in the United States were good roads there would be apprecsab bie betterment of the public health.

 In some sections of the country the only material available from which roads can be constructed is clay. In such localities traffic is almost en- tirely impossible during the wet sea sons, as the wheels of the heavy ye- hicles will sink to the hub
 In order to correct this condition. the United States office of public roads made the experiment of burning the clay. It was found that by burning the clay even at moderate heat, its

Toledo Blade: When Richie and

The referee was of the race of the

There are sixteen separate sections
OF it, and yet there are no atlidavits
verifying any of them. There is no.
where an affidavit verifying the
entire petition as the law requires.
Atty. John Collins, of Harlem,
counsel for protestants in western
Blaine county, declared vehementLy
that there was no verification of
either the petition as whole or
parts of it. "Three persons must
verify this petition as a whole" be
insisted.
Atty. Hurd-'' If parts are verified
it verities the whole. That matter
was very fully passed upon by the
supreme court.
Atty. Hurly-''I fail to find ono
word in the supreme court decision
on that point"
The commissioners overruled the
Hurry objection, and accepted the
petition as if it had been verified as
he insisted it should be. Should the
matter go to the courts, on initiative
Of the protesting faction, their counsel
expects to attach considerable impor-
lance to this phase of the commits
sioners procedure, standing on the
position that, without verification,
by the af1idavits of three who were
responsible for the filing of tho
petition, the commissioners possessed
no legal power to take jurisdiction
nor any authority to proceed in the
matter
The commissioners received evil
dence during the afternoon from
witnesses called by Atty. Hurd as a
means to have stricken from the
petition all the names which were
apparently placed thereon without
knowledge of the men these names
were alleged to represent, and which
men were said to be out of the county.
Atty. Hurd announced that he
desired to supplement the original
petition with the names of additional
signers and asked that they be
recorded as having been filed on
September IA.
Attys. Hurry and Collins both filed
objection, but the commissioners
held these names would be considered
as part of the original list.-G lasgow

Phillips County Election to be
February I'd.

w neither there shall be a new
county to be known as Phillips,
created out of the western end of
Valley and the eastern side of Blaine
counties will be decided by the voters
OF the area proposed for reorganiza-
ton on February 2, 1915.
An election was ordered for the
date mentioned at the conclusion of a
hearing of the Phillips county advo-
Gates petition on Wednesday. This
session was said to have been
necessary for the petitioners attorneys
to present certain facts needed to
complete the record Of the procedure
required by law.
Opposition that had been expected
from leaders of what was known as
1.-THE protesting element" did not
appear before the commissioners so
largely as two weeks ago it threatened.
Its absence was explained as having
been due to considerable number OF
voters who signed the protesting
petition withdrawing their names
therefrom, presumably at request of
the new county promoters.
The commissioners began the
consideration of the petition on
Saturday morning last, when upward
of forty citizens from the west end
were on hand to assist in the segrepa-
ton procedure.
Incidental to beginning of the
formalities it was suggested that a
'straw vote" be taken to see how
the visiting delegation might be
divided on the question of division.
The standing ballot, which was then
asked, disclosed thirty-three yeas and
only three in the negative.
After the commissioners approved
the bond OF the petitioners Atty.
Geo. E. Hurd, for the county division
advocates, announced that ''we are
going to move to strike from the
petition 100 names. Some of these
are from Blaine and others from
Valley"
Atty. John Hurry, for the protest
ing elements, declared that the klist
as filed had not been verified by three
qualified electors according to the
specifications of the statute
Atty. Hurd, referring to the ques-
ton which had been raised in the
bill of particulars of the protest
against county division, questioning
the legality of some of the names on
the petition, said that he wanted to
offer testimony on these matters by
witnesses who were present.
Subsequently, when this evidence
was received, it appeared that quite
a number of the signers of the petition
were out of the precincts in which
the petition credited them with having
residence, and also that some of these
absentees had been away from these
several localities for as much as one
year and one-half.
Counsel for the protesting forces
objected. cit seems to us, said
Atty. Hurry, that no evidence
should be offered at this time. This
petition for the creation of new
county has not been accompanied by
the at1idavits of those who signed it..

ply according to The Herald:

he would look into the matter, and
see what could be done. He thought
that the custom, however, had been
allowed, as there are in some in

necessity to get into the groceries Sum-

made in this respect it might result in
