STAND By THE PRESIDENT! !
(Fron leading editorial in the

New York Tribune.l
AT the present moment a d.
llberate and far reaching effort
is being made to coerce the Pres
iiert OF the United States in the
discharge Of his official duties by
tue use of political intrigue.
Thanks TO Mr.. Bryan the Dem
ocratic party has been divided.
and the prospect of increasing
division is used to emphasize
the peril of MIR. Wilson IN the
future if he continues to defend
American rights and interest.
To give point to this method
German propagandist journals
are already printing tabulations
of the loss of Democratic vot S
incident to Mr.. Wilson's perform

pudent and intolerable assertion
Of the doctrine that the Presi-

many Republicans believe tia

HOW TO MAKE ROADS.

The people Of Virginia have
presented to them an opportunity
to Improve their highways. They
have learned already that il
would be practically Impossible
to do this to any extent with the
means they have had at their
disposal. and that without some
work OH the part OF the citizens
themselves the same old bad
roads must continue, with the
exception of few highways in
prosperous communities - and
these communities made more
proserous by these improved
highways in their midst. But
the time has come when our peo-
pie are realizing more than ever
the neea for their cooperation in
road Improvement and nainte-
nance, and where this is the case
they are getting busy and are
getting results.
The leading article in the May,
|l915, issue of Southern Progress,
|etitled inexpensive Road Inn
provement Methods" is said by
reliable authorities to be the best
;ef its kind ever published aud the
suggestions contained to be the
most excellent, and the resolu.
tionS of the Rural Road improve
nent League for cling
concerted efforts of citizens and
road authorities present all OPP
portunity for not only better
roads at very little expense but
for considerable honor and hand
some compensation to reward
their efforts in this important en-
terprise.
This work has been couduc ted
by few citizens of Virginia at
their own personal expense and
has proven so successful and has
grown SO tremendously and so
rapidly as to necessitate the es-
tablisl1ment of an office to main
tain it properly and to extend its
benefits to every part of the
State. All officers serve without
compensation, but it will be ne
cessary at times to employ some
one to assist III rush of work.
and funds will be needed for this
purpose and FOR expenses incl
lent to the extension of this Ell.
.erprIse to every part of Vir-
.inia. The total amount needed
will be small, and the results
arge and of widespread impor-'
ance; and if the business people
i this State show lie same fore
ight as some of tile citizens and

ma other places are showing.
MS fund will be subscribed very
luckily.

be overlooked. Results accom-

A FREED RECORD.
Original Muster Roll of "Captain A
 LincoIn's Company"

lineoln's Company"
 None of the records of the treas. ury department IS more highly prized than the original muster roll of Captain A. Lincoln's company" in the handwriting of that famous man himself. It was voluntary company organized by Lincoln in 1o32 to serve in the Black Hawk var. Lincoln as an army officer was the same painstaking, careful and orderly man that he was later as president. He kept the muster rolls of his company himself, and nowhere can heater and more complete account be found.
 Although more than eighty years old now, the roll is wonderfully we'll preserved. The paper is of poor quality, but the handwriting is still legible and distinct, not a single error having been made in the copy. The record has been bound together along the edges, and where it has been folded con- stant handling has done consider able damage to it.
 The interesting document is headed: "Muster Roll of Captain A. Lincoln's Company of the Fourth Regiment of Mounted Vol unteers, Commanded by Brigadier General Samuel Whitesides. Mus tered out of service of the United States at the mouth of Fox river May the 27th, 1832."
 The roll shows that Abraham Lincoln was the captain and that he was enrolled with the rest of the command on April 21 at Richland, Sangamon country, III. At the foot is Lincoln's certificate as to the correctness of the muster roll at the time of muster out. The only other handwriting on the document ia that of Nathaniel Buckmaster, in- spector and muster officer, certify ing to the accuracy of the roll ~ Iincoln's company.
