What Roads Mean.

The value of improved roads
can be summarized under the
following headings:
First Reduction in the cost of
hauling.
Second Increase in the value
of lands within the zone of i'm
provement.
Third Increase Of productive
area through the making of un-
cultivated lands accessible.
Fourth The possibility of
more profitable crops for the less
profitable ones.
Fifth-The ability of a produc-
er to market his product at a
time when prices are most favor
able instead Of marketing them
only when the roads will permit.

WHY KICKl

The election is past, but whether not 't is all over
as the old saying goes who can tell? Charges and
countercharges of fraud being made by both the dom
inant parties which, reduced to its last analysis, is only
another case of the pot calling the kettle black The
of money and whskey to influence voters ought to be- and
in fact is of the most fragrant frauds that can be per-
peraed in election and what political party, the pro-
hibtonsts not excepted would not use these means to
secure an eecon The defeated party and its nominees
will of course yell fraud!" the loudest, because as
rule the defeated politician is not broadminded enough
to see nor liberal enough to acknowledge that all shields

never held in Morgan county.
don't suppose any Of us are entirely satisfied with
the results of the recent election but what's the use of
kicking about it? 1t will only compicate matters and we
had as we'll bow to the inevitable If the oficers-eect
make good public servants they will do good for all mar

perhaps some of us will live to get 'whack" at them
later on At any rate let's all be optimistic give
them chance 1t is duty to cooperate with them
until they prove unworthy 1t is unpatrotic and i'm.
