Solid For Good Roads.

Bell county swung into line Tor
good roads last Saturday by a
vote that was so near unanimous
that the ants were not worth
counting. The people of Bel
county are to be congratulated on
the progressive spirit they have
manifested. That county needs
roads. Every other county
needs roads. There is
nothing that conduces more to
prosperity, progress and content
ment than system of highways
that can be Travelled with comfort
and with facility all the year
around. The county whose roads
are "navigable" only seven OF
eight months in the year is pay
ing an enormous mud tax. And
mud tax is worse than paying in
terest on bonds. Bell county has
done the proper thing and it is to
be hoped the counties that are to
vote later on will go and do like
wise. State Journal.

How True.

President Wilson's charge that
the Republicans "have not had q

tons from protected beneficiaries.
Previous to 1885 the republicans
had carried the Civil War to a
successful finish and had brought
about the resumption of specie
payments. Progress had also
been made in civil service reform.
Since then, however, they have
done nothing toward improving
the banking laws, which the
country had out grown; toward q
fair and equitable revision of the
tariff, and toward solving the
Trust problem. 1t was left t
the Democrats to accomplish
these three great feats. For the

SULO HEYONPAA
VICTOR ON WAT
Horrible Finn Makes
Short Work of Miller in
Wrestling Tourney.
By BRIGGS

"Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house" the audi
ence sat as still as a mouse, and the
wrestlers in the grand international
wrestling tournament for the cham
pionship of the world, with a purse OF
$4,000 TO the winner, wrestled for
their Christmas dinners.
Most of the ma N were in good
humor, only Sulo Heyonpaa, the horri-
BILE one from Finland, became peeved
and started a verbal argument with the
audience. He was led gently through
the woodland scene Of the wings by
George Bothner, the referee.
Hevonpaa was TO wrestle Miller, the
husky Saxon, at catch and
when he made his bow before the bout
he worked his face into a grin and
bowed with all the grace for which he
is noted The gladiators wrestled for
twelve minutes and ten seconds before
Sulo pinned his man with an inside
arm lock and body hold, and then
staggered TO the footlights to receive
the applause of the multitude.
Some unsympathetic souls in the
gallery cried "bool" and Hevonpaa
was much aggrieyed and screamed a
string of Finnish at Joe HUMPHREYS,
the announcer. Joe listened TO the end
and then announced that Sulo wished

his good wishes for Christmas, as pre-
viously given, because he did not think
the audience was deserving Of such
good fortune.
Gardni, of Italy, and Bayley, went
on at Graeco- Roman, and after q great
deal of labored breathing and loss OF
weight, the twenty-minute time limit
found both men on their feet Grseco-
Roman wrestling is new TO Bayley,
who was always trying for toe and
scissors holds and had to be restrained
by Bothner. In the last minute, how
ever, Bayley got Gardini's nose in
jeopardy and hung on tenaciously. The
Italian tried every trick at his com
mand TO break away, and while he was
twisting and squirming In discomfort,
a voice came forth from the gallery;
"Hey, Gardini, blow your nosel
The Italian tried that subtle trick,
and Bayley was forced to relinquish
his advantage. The Masked Marvel
found Hjalmar Johnson, Of Sweden,
slippery opponent, and the bout went
70 a draw after twenty minutes OF
lively work at catch-as -catch-can, with
the Marvel always on the aggressive.
Johnson was absolutely unable to OBJ
tain any good hold on his rival and had
to submit to a gruelling at the hands
Of the unknown, who would have won
in another ten minutes, it seemed.
Wladek Zbyszko took only two min
utes and ten seconds to down Joseph
Pan, of Portugal, at catch-as-catch-csn.
The giant son of Poland lowered over
his opponent and outweighed him by
fully a hundred pounds. He seemed
to pity his victim and was determined
to end matters as quickly as possible.
First he coiled his great body about
