Our people are aroused over the nee
essity for good roads Is they have
never been before at any time in the
history of Garfield county. We are
fast realizing the need of good roads
in the conduct of our business and the
enjoyment of life. We have made more
progress in the past five years in the
production Of good roads than in all
the previous history of the country. W.
have yet much to do. How shall We
proceed. How shall we get the money
to provide the necessary work! Tssse
are questions in which we are all deeply
interested and which we are all trying
to answer.

to relieve the present stringeney by

Denver, May s.-Governor Cas1na
late tonight issued the following sta1s-
ment re'ative to the critical situa161a
the United States is now facing in -
spect to the European war situation:
I'VE are confronted with a sits<xsa
that calls for the assertion of eonasa
sense Of our people. The hysterical -
peals of demagogues and jingoes shsa2d
be suppressed, and the calm judgnast
of the people prevail. The time is nOt
yet when this nation should be plunOe1
into the maelstrom of war
''lf We are driven to war let it be o.
issues sensible for all time to come. 1t
is no longer difficult to imagine cir
eumstance that would drive us to this
terrible alternative. But let US not re
sort to the final extreme until all other
means are unavailable. This is nst q
time for idle or careless mouthingr.
at would be deplorable indeed il Tire
murderous hysteria which seems to have
swept Europe should become fastea.d
upon our own people. Let us put fsil
force of public opinion behind our ssv
ernment officials who are in Office to
handle just such conditions. Aa4 il IS
my prayer that the citizens of Cslofodo
stand in the forefront of those who Vill
crystalline this sentiment. We nay
have war if honorable peace is impossi-
BILE. But until the last effort is made
to maintain peace, nothing must be
done, nor no word uttered that is likely
to precipitate war.
81 therefore request that during this
critical time the people of Colorado
place implicit faith and confidence in
our president and national officials
having in charge our relations with
foreign nations"
