When Mr.. Steffens came to the
city that was his birthplace he
forgot the ironical, sometimes
cynical sallies which had drawn
appreciative laughter from his
audience. He spoke with emo

in San Francisco, "whO will not,
he declared, "come together IN

than were the decent citizens who
bribed him."
Summing up the results of his
investigation into the scandals
that rent the Golden Gate me-
troplis over the sale of public
utility franchises, Mr.. Steffens
said: 81 believe, after that ex-
perience, that there are no bad
men in the world, though many
do bad things"
In Liverpool, which Mr.. Stef-

of an investigating commission
from New York and other Ameri-

the mayor and other officials the
story of the great English city S

the conclusion drawn by Mr.. Stef-
fens, "unless you take over all of
them"
Another conclusion reached by
the investigator, after consider
ing the troubles Of Liverpool in
persuading the poorer laboring
classes to move from their old
slums into modern tenements
erected by the city. was that "the
good people Of Liverpool had
been trying to do good to the
laborers instead of with them"

BEN F. KENNARD ANNOUNCES
FOR CIRCUIT COURT CLERK.

In this issue we call attention
to the announcement of Ben F.
Kennard, Of Logville, for the
democratic nomination for Circuit
Court Clerk. His announcement
appeared last week but was too
late to be placed in the regular
column for announcements.
To many of our readers Mr..
Kennard needs no introduction.
To those who do not know him
personally we wish to say that
he is a young man of splendid
character and sterling worth, and
a democrat among democrats.
Although young in years he has
given much time to his party and
in its service he has never been
found tagging. He comes of 6
family whose allegiance to the
principles of democracy has never
been questioned. He has taught
in the rural schools successfully
for a number of years and is ar
attorney at law of considerable
ability which fact peculiarly fit:
him for the duties of the office t.
which he aspires. He is sober
moral, and honest to a fault. HI
proposes to make the race free
from alliances or entanglements
and vouchsafes a faithful per
formance of his official duty il
nominated and elected.
We ask for him mature con
sideration at the hands of demo
cratic. electorate of Morgan
county.

are still a few delinquents but it
is gratifying to note the prompt
ness with which most of our citi-
zens responded. We ordered a
full page of cleanup literaturein

the people who prepared it that
the demand had been so great
the supply was exhausted. We
were disappointed in not getting
it, but the campaign will go on
anyhow.

levy for road purposes of all the
counties, $2,071, 1,571. The esti-
mated road fund is $658, 220.
After apportioning the money
on this basis a balance of over
$1OO, 900 was redistributed within
the limits of the two per cent,
which is the maximum any county
is allowed to draw, and also not
exceeding the total amount ap-
propriated for State aid work, in
Guiding private subscriptions. In
no case was a county allotted more
than it asked for State aid, as
some portions of the county levies
naturally will be used for other
work than that undertaken ac-
cording to the law governing
State aid projects.
The distribution to counties
issuing bonds will be based upon
their road levies and special tax
for sinking fund purposes; but
the latter does not figure in this
estimate as the Commissioner had
before him only the 1914 levies
to guide him.

each county will draw from the
