Congressional politics seem to be
the all-absorbing topic in the
Eighth district just now, even to
the exclusion of the pending
State campaign. and the triggers
are being set in nearly every
county composing the district.
While Congressman H nv e y
Helm. of Lincoln, is regarded as
a certain candidate for the Dem
ocratic denomination, with At
torney General James Garrett,
Of Adair, practically an avowed
contender, the probabilities are,
it is said by those who ought to
know, that State Banking Com

Madison, is trimming his sails to
cut in," as we'll as either Judge
r. W. Gilbert or George L. Pick

practically certain that Shelby
county will have a congressional
aspiraut next year and that one
or the other of the two mention
ed will seek the nomination.

RESULT OF ELECTION ON BOND
ISSUE.

Every body knows how it
went. The result doubtless car
ries with it the cause of much re-
joicing to the victors and consid-
cradle disappointment TO the
vanquished. Yet there is con-
siderable consolation for us after
our defeat.
We heartily endorsed, and
still so endorse the action of our
Fiscal court in accepting the ben
eft of State aid.
Under the action of the court
we will be able to build from a
to 6 miles each year of good road
on one of our 6 county seat roads,
and after they are finished, on
other roads in the county.
These six roads all leave Co.
lumbia; one running 49, miles to
the Casey county line through
the Little Cake and Pellyton
precincts, one 10 miles to Rus
sell county line; one IA miles to
the Cumberland county line; one
Ia miles to the Metcalfe county
line; one 8 miles to the
Green county line; one 10 miles
to the Taylor county line, max
ing in all about "a miles.
Building this way is the best
and only means the fiscal court
now has of getting the benefit OF
State Aid. This way is slow but
eventually will answer. It will
require patience on the part of
the people, but we will event
ually accomplish the end for
which we have all been striving.

considering it would be best fol-
our people to issue bonds fol
$125, 600 and thereby with State
aid raise enough money to builG

once, and believing the bonds
could be paid off with practically
the same rate of levy now made,
in at least as short a time as the
roads could be built under the
present system, asked and OBJ
tanned a vote to be taken upon
the bond proposition. On last
Saturday September the II, 1915,
the vote was taken with an over
whelming majority against it.
1t is very manifest that the bond
plan was not popular.
We thought the bond plan the
best solution of road building in
the county, but from the returns
published elsewhere in this issue
twill be seen that the citizens
living along the various county
seat roads were willing and anX.
ious to await their turn under the
present system, and also those
living off the county seat roads
were even more pronounced in
their desire TO await their turn
for aid,
1t is commendable in those liv-
ing off the county seat roads to
show themselves willing to be
taxed to build all these IA miles
of county seat roads before a
dollar could be expended for
them. Such patience and patri-
otism is rare. We admire their
pluck.
The action of the voters is so
nearly unanimous that it renders
it useless for further agitation of
the bond question and admonish
es us to urge forward the pres
ent system with all speed.
We now dismiss the bond SUBJ
ject from our columns, and are
going to help out the present
system. We thought it best to
issue SIPS, 900 in bonds thereby
getting State aid Of another
$125, 900, thus making US a road
fund of $3.50, 900, to be at once
expended for road purposes in
all parts Of our county. we fig
ure there would be left after
building the county seat roads
about $1OO,O0O for other roads.
We thought we were right in
this. The voters took differ
ent view. We failed. They
must have their way.
1t becomes our duty as good
citizens to help them carry out
their wishes which we shall
cheerfully do. For our years we
are as good walters as any body.
The News will always be found
fighting for progress and for
good roads in the best form it
can get, if not upon its own plan,
then upon the best plan suggest
ed by others. We are not sulk-
erS.
