Good Roads Meeting.

The Ohio County Good Roads AS
sieiation met at Cromwell, August 81
with fair attendance considerine
the fact that the meeting was not
thoroughly advertised. Those who
attended this meeting were very at.
tentive to explanations as related to
the object of the association, also to
the report given by Judge Wilson OF
the expenditures of County funds.
DR.. J. o. McKenney, President
presided and DR.. Oscar Allen acted
as secretary pro tenn.
Judge Wilson made a very inter-
esting speech carefully explaining
the system practiced by the County
officials in dividing road funds to
the eight magisterial districts. Mr..
Wilson was strong in his emphasis of
the Importance of good roads and
recommended strongly each precinct,
neighborhood and community get to-
gether and inaugurate a good roads
day. Mr.. Orville H. Taylor, Beaver
Dam, followed with an interesting
talk on road building, showing the
necessary steps to take to make per-
manent high ways. Mr.. Taylor out
lined first, a location, second, grad
ing, third, drainage, and discussed
each topic carefully and clearly max
ing his talk very interesting. DR..
E. w. Ford insisted that it was very
necessary for every citizen to take
a sincere interest in the roads of our
county, mentioning the fact that he
as we'll as several of the rural mail
carriers carried with them short
handled tools, and when possible, If
time allowed. would repair holes in
r"aIs when passing.
DR.. Clarence DeWeese stated that
he had wide experience as to travel
on roads from Louisville to Fulton,
the extreme western county in the
State, and he felt that our citizens
should cooperate with each other by
having a good roads day and every
one go out and assist in the road
working. AS an illustration he out
lined a plan that was put on foot
from Fulton. Ky. to Memphis, Tenn,
a distance of $50 miles, in which the
road was worked the entire distance
in one day. There was an aggrega-
ton of about 1900 teams and the
necessary men to take care of every
department of work. All in all DR..
DeWeese made a very interesting
talk. DR.. Oscar Allen was very in
sistent that every one become inter-
ested and instead of the interest lag
ging that everyone should boost a
good roads movement and each indi-
vidual from town and country work
together to this end.
President Mckinney announced
meeting for the association at Rock
port, KY, September 4, where there
will be discussed a proposed high way
from Beaver Dam to Central City,
via Rockport and intermediate points
and that more than likely on that
date a good roads day will be ap-
pointed for work on this proposed
road
Meeting adjourned to meet on date
above mentioned.

Democratic Platform on the County
Unit.

Section 1S-COUNTY UNIT
PLANK-The Democratic party has
been and is the sincere and earnest
ohqnricD Of all legislation inten led
COR the moral az well as the material
advancement OF the State. To IT,,
and to IL alone, is due the legislation
which gives to each county in the
State the absolute control over the
vending of spirituous liquors, and
no county should be deprived by
outside interference. of the right to
determine the matter for itself.
We reaffirm and reassert our I'M
qualified approval of the present
County Unit Law and OF the declara-
ton of the Democratic party in the
convention Of August Is. 1911, pledg-
ing the party to its adoption. This
Act has been strengthened by care
fully considered amendment, and the
field of its operation enlarged so that
each of the counties in the state
may determine for itself whether
the sale of alcoholic beverages may
be licensed or prohibited, and en-
bodies the full and final judgment
of the legislative and executive
branches of the government II
has been interpreted and its consti-
tutionality established by the courts,
and we approve of its rigid and thor
ough enforcement in letter and in
spirit, and condemn any effort to i'm
pair or weaken its wise provisions by
revision or amendment.
In legislation affecting the moral
welfare of the people, the party may
well be guided by our great leader
whose wisdom or Righteousness are
the priceless boon of a triumphant
Democracy. We unqualifiedly COM
mend to the Democracy of Kentucky
his sage admonition that "the ques-
tions involved lin such legislation
are social and moral and are not
susceptible of being made parts Of
party programme. Whenever they
have been made the subject matter
of party contests they have cut the
lines of party organization and party
action athwart to the utter confusion
of political action in every other
field" With the President, We do
kAl arfy m rtln
of the highest consequences to the
political life of the State and of the
nation ought to be thrust on one side
and hopelessly embarrassed for long
periods together by making politi-
cal issue of a great question which
is essentially nonpolitical, non parti-
san. moral and social in its nature"
and therefore we oppose further agi-
tation and legislative experiment.
holding that existing laws If fairly
tried will achieve the ends for which
they were designed.
Section 19.-FOR ECONOMY AND
EFFICIENCY-We favor rigid econ
omy in the administration of the
States affairs to the end that the
people may receive a maximum OF
service at a minimum of cost. and to
that end we favor the immediate
abolition of all useless Offices and
the rendering of full and adequate
service in every department of the
State Government.
