The roads Of France have long been

Road building began there before the
days OF Caesars invasion. Some Of
her roads have sustained the traffic
from 1000 10 1000 years. Proper
maintenance has been had OF these
old highways and the average cost
has been low.

old Roman roads we're paved with

allowed to become covered with dirt
and vegetation. Louis XlV's Prime
Minister, Colbert, rehabiltated the
roads of France and II is said that
whenever the King wanted to travel
in a particular section, Colbert always
instructed the people In advance to
build roads along the route to be
travelled. Once built, he maintained
them to facilitate commerce and
trade.
A system of royal roads was estab.

French Revolution we're taken over
and still more extensively laid out.
Napoleon changed the system of con.

THE LlTERkcY TEST.

The literacy test which the Demo
Gratis have embodied IN the immigra'
ton bill Just passed by the National
Congress over the protest OF Presi.
dent Wilson, seems to be one OF the
greatest and most regrettable blum
ders made by the party since II was
elevated to power. The literacy test
purports to have for It's object the
keeping OF undeslrables out OF the
United States. yet a moments refiec-
ton will readily show how It is more
apt than otherwise TO have the very
opposite effect. Those OF us who
know the honest, Woodworking for
eigners who have come TO this coun-
try-Germans. Italians. Bohemlans.
Polanders and others-to make their
homes, can see the weak points Of
this proposed literacy test Thousands

posed test, yet We have no more de.

says:
Nobody objects to immigraion re-
strictions which keep undesirables
out Of this country. But what are I'M
desirables and is II possible 20 keep
them out by any such Illogical test as
is proposed? One Of two things will
happen under it: either it will prove
too loosely constructed to keep any
body out for any great length Of time,
in which case II is a farce solemnly to
put Il on the statute books; or It viii
prove an obstacle only to respectable
but poorly educated aliens. capable Of
conversion into good citizens, and will
let in thousands of smart rascals and
actual or potential criminals. Is there
not a better way of testing citizenship
than this? Is II the purpose of the
bill to keep out honest laborers so as
TO force up the price of wages? II
that is the purpose, why not say so
frankly and proclaim our determine.
ton to shut out all the working
classes Of the world That, at least,
would be a more honest and straight.
forward method"
The Waco Times Herald, discussing
the subject, says:
There never was a more absurd
notion than that of presuming that
the literate are the sheep and the II.
literate the goats. Moral distinctions
are of the heart and not of the head.
Morality is the study and practice Of
what is right. The mos; illiterate
person in the community might easily
be the most righteous. I"
The Eagle believes the insertion
of such test in the bill is a mistake,
that 1t utilities the good provisions
of the measure, and for that reason
we hope President Wilson will bring
forth his little pruning knife and lay
the measure away to reQuescat in
pacem.

three-fourths OF the wealth OF the en-.

Bryan, College and Cottonwood. Four
hundred thousand dollars for the
three precincts would require a
smaller tax rate than 100000 for the
whole county. The amount would be
sufficient to properly fix every foot
of road in the three precincts. And
II would be sufficient to relieve the
distressing financial condition Of the
whole county.
Our opposing neighboring precincts,
after seeing and appreciating good
roads, would no doubt vote to improve
their roads also.
We can and must get busy. The
battle has been won. All that is nee.
essary is to order the election. Good
roads and prosperity are waiting for

and other industries will follow.
The sentiment for good roads and
also for the prosperity good roads and
