William Royal Roberts

On the night OF Friday, March 26,
1915, at his rooms on North Main
street William II. Roberts in the 55th
year of his age, suddenly departed
this life. His kindly traits of charac-
| ter had endeared him to the people OF
Dorset to whom his death is heavy
blow. His life here was always dis
tinguished by the department OF the
born gentleman courteous, true,
liberal and warm hearted. That he
possessed the virtues of Christian
all will confess who knew him. He
was devoted and faithful to every
duty or trust whether in public or in
private life. His personal integrity
was never questioned. He held prom
inent offices in church and social life,
and for many years his musical voice
was heard in the village choir or
wherever music or song composed the
programs at local gatherings. His
CHEEKY presence will be sadly missed
from all circles. His funeral was held
from the church on Monday after
noon, Rev. G. III. Gilbert conducting
the service. AS the body OF the de-
ceased was borne for the last time
along the familiar aisle, the choir
sang the hymn prayer, in which his
voice had so often Joined, Dear
Lord and Father of Mankind" Two
other favorte hymns were sung dur
ing the service, Softly now the Light
of Day" and THE Homeland" Low
ing friends escorted the body to Man
chester where it rests in the family
burial plot. Mr. Roberts came Of
pioneer ancestry. being a descendent
of General Christopher Roberts who
was son Of John Roberts resident OF

WronpfulIy ACCUSING Editors.


WrOngfuIly Accusing Editors.
The Prairie Eagle, edited by
Frank Lee, in Mississippi Coun-
ty, in it's last issue puts at rest a
very untrue and Unjust charge
coming from partisan opponents.
Mr.. Lees Eagle stands up to be
counted and gives itself as a
concrete example to prove the
truth of its claim that the demo-
cratic press of the state is sup
porting Roach for governor be-
cause he win be an acceptable
nominee. The Eagle says:
There seems to be a sentiment
prevailing among the editors of
several of our Republican ex-
changes that in order for a Dem
ocratic newspaper to support
Hon. Cornelius Roach the paper
must have been one of those who
got a few hundred dollars politi-
cal sop in the form of constitu-
tional amendments, and that the
editors who were favored by
Con" are returning the compli-
ment. This is not true. We can
mention numbers of Democratic
papers that did not receive any
of the election printing-among
which is the East Prairie Eagle
that are supporting Mr.. Roach
because they believe that he is
the proper man for the guber-
Material honors. In spite of all
criticism and triAing accusa-
tions, Mr.. Roach has proven him
self wholly efficient as secretary
and there are many, not in the
Sop class who are supporting
him, believing that he will make
an accountable governor. Since
when is it necessary to attack
some sinister motive to an editor
when he prefers to give his sup
port to anyone? If all the men
who run for Office depended up
on their ability and willingness
to give "pie" and "pap" for SER
vices rendered there would not
be many who would receive the
support of the average country
weekly. Can not even an editor
have honest convictions without
being accused of being bought ?
Seems to us that those papers
whose connection with the Re-
publican slush fund is well
known should not question the
conscientious loyalty of the
Democrats"

While the rock roads fever is
at its height and deserved good
things are being said of the
boosters, the Commissioners Of
the Lexington Special Road Dis
trict should not forget that there
are many farmers in the district
being taxed for rock roads who
are deriving very little benefit, if
any, from the roads already put
down. Every farmer, and right
fully so, is interested in having
the roads in his immediate Vi
entity put in passable condition.
The roads in some commune
ties have been given a lick and a
promise, and in a few places
even a snails pace is dangerous
in a car. What good is a rock
road if it can't be reached. It is
very important that all farmers
living in the district and paying
their quote of taxes should not
be left out of communication
with the rock roads, and before
we perpetuate in bronze or brass
the memory Of any particular in
dividual who has been instru-
mental in arousing the good
roads spirit, we should see to it
that all men who pay are re-
ceiving some return for their
money.
The day is passed when ar
guments against hard surface
roads can be given any consid-
Grafton. Their extension on all
the main arteries of travel are
inevitable; but, it should be
borne in mind that an equitable
distribution of the cost must SO
far as possible be in ratio to an
equitable distribution of the
benefits.

ROAD BUILDING FEATURED

tic Science Also Attracted
Much Attention at University
Building at State Fair.
Demonstrations in many
phases Of agriculture were con-
Quoted, but special emphasis
was laid on judging corn and
live stock, the use of the ireless
cooker, preparation of hot lunch
es in schools, the equipment Of
the farm kitchen, testing for
soil acidity, and sanitation in
hog cholera prevention.
The road building exhibit con-
trasted the neglected hub-deep
country road with good roads
secured by various methods.
Perhaps the King drag furnishes
the most practical and widely
applicable escape from such con-
ditions in Missouri. 1t does not
require heavy expenditure of
money or the cooperation of
many people to keep a given
niece IF road in GOOD shane with
it.
Other remedies suggested by
the exhibit were ordinary rock
road, gravel road, plain macad-
am, and asphalt macadam. Short
sections showed the methods of
applying the successive coats Of
the material to a properly pre-
pared bed and of putting in the
expansion joint necessary in GER
tain types of macadam c%onstruc-
ton.
One section showed the good
results obtained by applying oil
to a road whose surface had
been broken up about two in
ches deep, while the next show
ed the usefulness of applying oil
without such preparation. 1t
collected in pools in the dust,
was u%nevenly distributed over
the surface, and was also very
likely to run off into the gutter.
Another exhibit showed sam
pies of the bodybuilding stone
available in practically every
county in the state. Apparently
there is no excuse for bad roads
in Missouri. The drag is easily
constructed from split logs or.
other rather inexpensive ma
terial, and rock is everywhere at
hand if the drag cannot cope
with the problem successfully.
The need for more attention to
spraying and pruning in Mis-
souri, orchards was emphasized
by exhibits showing the best
pruning tools and methods and
the materials for use in control
ing insect pests and fungus
diseases.
The farm forge work exhibit
illustrated the making and re-
pairing of metal parts of farm
devices, which is taught the stu
dents in both the long and short
courses of the College of Agri-
culture.
Cattle from the College of Ag-
riculture of the University of
Missouri won ten first premiums,
four second, and two champion
ships in the fat stock classes.
Among f%fty-seven contestants
in the live stock judging con-
tests, senior students in the Col
lege of Agriculture won all of
the prizes. Some of these men
later made up the team which
defeated all other college teams
at the American Royal Live
Stock Show at Kansas City in
the judging contest.
