GOOD ROADS MEETING.

There should be a good attendance
of citizens at the good roads mass
meeting called for next Monday. No
more important matter could en-
gage the attention of the tax payers
of this county than that of roads, free
roads and roads that will be adequate
to the needs of the people. AS we
have remarked before this county can
never, in the very nature of things,
have a great and really adequate sys-
tenn of public highways until the peo-
pie own all of the roads. The toll
gates are the real barriers in the way
Of progress.
The first matter that ought to en-,
gage the attention Of the mass meet
ing is the question of getting rid of
the toll gates. The argument is made
by many, not yet abreast OF the
times, that the toll road is the fair
est system of road maintenance for
the reason that the roads of the coun.
ty are paid for then by the users.
There is no merit in this argument
and would not be If every road in
the county had toll gates upon it. But
when only ten per cent Of the roads
are toll roads the injustice of the
plan is obvious.
There is really nothing in this con-
tention. 1t would be just as logical
to argue against the public school
upon the ground that schools should
be supported by those who patronize
them. That was a popular contention
at one time, but happily this and ev-
cry other civilized state has come to
q realization Of its duty to educate
Its citizens or subjects. Universal
education makes for better progress,
for cleaner and saner living and for
advancement along all desired lines.
To deny any child the right to edu-
cation is now universally regarded
as a crime against society. 1t is
equally the duty of the state to pro-
vide highways We cannot attain to
the enjoyment of real, universal pros
perity until we provide easy means Of
communication.
Good roads, aside from good
schools, will do more than anything
to stop the movement of the best of
our citizenship from country to city
that is rapidly increasing the proper
ton of tenant farmers. That country
is always most prosperous and most
advanced where the proportion of
home owners is the largest.

FREE TURNPlKES.

AS long as Maury county has par
of its roads under one management
or system and part under another
it cannot, in the very nature o.
things, have really satisfactory roads
We have a hybrid system. There
are approximately 1000 miles of pub
lie highways in Maury county. Some
thing like ten per cent of these high
ways are owned by private individu
ais, the other ninety per cent being
owned and controlled by the whole
people. It is obvious that we should
either own all of the roads and abol.
ish the toll gates or we should grant
individuals the right to take tolls on
the remaining roads. II the latter
are not valuable enough to be taken
over by private parties then we would
suggest that the county have erected
toll gates. There is little of real jus.
tice or fairness in the present plan.
In the past few years this county
has spent thousands of dollars in
building roads, some them being good
ones, too, favorably comparing with
any of the toll roads. But the people
who travel these publicly construct
ed roads and for which they paid, can
not get to their county seat without
contributing to some toll road corpor-
alton. This is obviously unfair.
There are enterprising citizens in a
half dozen communities of this coun-
ty now who are trying to raise funds
to build much needed roads. Even If
they succeed and build the roads they
cannot get to the countys capital
without making another contribution
to some toll road corporation. This
is manifestly unjust and unfair.
Take the people of Columbia and
the ninth district and consider their
case. They pay large portion of the
taxes of the county. They pay a big
percentage Of the cost Of the mainte-
nance of the work house and con-
siderable portion Of the highway
taxes. No matter where the work
house may be located and the new
road constructed, there will be a bar
rier of toll gates around Columbia
through which the travel over the
new roads must pass.
II Is argued by q few, and We are
glad to note that the number is con.
stantly diminishing, that It is better

The new Presbyterian Medical hospital

visitors were welcomed and piloted
through the newly remodeled structure
by the corps OF nurses. The house was
beautifully decorated with palms and

reception hall.
The hospital is beautifully furnished In
mahogany, and oriental rugs set off the
attractive rooms TO the best advantage.

and attractively furnished, many OF them
retaining the appearance they had when
the house was built, having big mantels
and private baths.
The barn has been remodeled and is now

heating plant and incinerator In the base

nurses. Of whom there are twenty-five.

MEAT CAUSE
OF LAME BACK
AND KIDNEY
TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kid
neys if your back
is aching.
Noted authority says Uric Acid
from meat irritates
the Bladder.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases

HOLD Big WOLF DRIVE
Much Heralded Event in Greeley
County Pulled OFF Today.

Tribune, Kan, Nov. 15.-The cum
ming and speed of the wolves and
coyotes of this section were pitted
against the skill of several score of
Kansas cattlemen driving high pow
cred motor cars today in Greeley coun-
tvs annual wolf drive. The animals
lost-that is most of them-but they
did not surrender without battle.
Early this morning almost a hun
dred motor cars gathered here. Most
of them carried Kansans, many of
whom looked as though they would be
more at home in 70 pound saddles
with horns that came up as high as
their collar buttons-if they had them
on-than in automobiles. Each hunt
er was warned that it wouldn't be con-
sidered craftsmanship to carry fire
arms. Colonel George Thyfault of
Tribune and Colonel William Carter of
Horace, both old p1afnsmen, acting as
masters of the hunt, sounded the sig
nails. The hunt was on.
After the automobile drive was com
pleted. Lieutenant E. J. Guilbert of
Wallace, Kan, with a large pack of
wolf hounds took up the drive. With
the drive completed the huntsmen re-
turned here.

Pull for International Thoroughfare.

New Orleans, Nov. 15.-Nearly 500
good roads advocates from eleven
Mississippi valley states and the
Canadian province of Manitoba were
here today to effect the organization
of the Jefferson Highway association,
through which it is planned to con-
struct an international thoroughfare
from New Orleans to Winnipeg.
The program for the opening ses-
sion included the appointment of a
permanent organization committee,
addresses by Governor Hall, of Louis
lana, and representative of states
along the surrounding country, and a
general discussion of the plans of the
organization.
Committee reports ard the possible
selection of several links in the pro-
posed highway will be considered at
the concluding session tomorrow. AL
though no route was suggested in the
call for the meeting, it generally was
understood that the proposed highway
throughout it's length would run west
of the Mississippi river.
Strong delegations from Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri among the 800
arrivals yesterday were seeking sup
port for a route that would traverse
these states.

A REAL SANDBAR
Chicago Man Sold Sunday Beer
on Lake Front.
Pitched Battle Fought With
Police Over Violation.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-Facing
charges of assault with deadly weap-
on and violation of the Sunday saloon
closing law, Captain George yelling
ton Streeter is prepared to appear in
court today
Captain Streter, his wife and four
other persons, were arrested Sunday
after the police had fought a pitched
battle in which a score of shots were
fired. Mrs. Monte Hoist, a tenant of
Streeter, received a bullet wound i'll
the thigh, while Streeter himself sus-
tanned two deep scalp wounds which
he says were caused by a shot from a
policeman's pistol.
Since the Sunday saloon closing law
went into effect in Chicago. the dis
trict of Lake Michigan as Streeter
calls the property he claims on the
lake front, has been the only wet
spot in the city. Thousands of bot
ties of beer have been sold to the
public every Sunday.
Streeter claims the property, which
is located near the fashionable lake
shore drive residence section, is
neither under the jurisdiction of the
state OF county officials. Streeter
came there many years ago with his
wife when their vessel was wrecked
on a sandbar. The sand filled in the
shore line until the land Streeter
claims comprises several blocks.
