DECLARES CONDRY ACT
 IS AN UNJUST LAW
CORRESPONDENT OBJECTS TO EXEMPTION OF PERSONAL
 PROPERTY.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l wish to say a few words in re- gard to the proposed Condray road law. I think that it is the most un- just proposed law that has ever been put before the voters of Faulkner county. One reason that it is unfair is that all personal property is eX- empt from taxation. There are men in Faulkner county who own thous- ands of dollars worth of personal property and no real estate, but nev- ertheless these men have a vote on the proposition just the same as the man who owns 10000 acres of land. Is it fair, friends, to let the man vote who owns no real estate? If the owners of real estate must pay the tax, let them be the ones that vote on the law.
 Another reason 1 think the law un- just is that the commissioners are nine of the richest men in Faulkner county. Why did not Mr. Condray appoint men who did not count their money by the hundreds of thousands? When we put all our money on a few miles of macadam road what will be- come of the other roads of our coun- ty?
 It is true that We need better sys- tenn under which to build our roads than the one we now have, but l do not think that the proposed Condray road law is what the people of Faulk- ner county want. I believe in and support every measure that is pro- gressive and that will tend to upbuild our county without unjust taxation such as the Condray law.

HEARING BOTH SIDES.
 FAYORS CONDRAY LAW
s. A. SIMS URGES PEOPLE TO LAY ASIDE PREJUDICE
 AND VOTE FOR ACT.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: It seems that there is considerable | stir up among the voters of Faulkner county over the Condray road law, which is to be excepted or rejected March 31. 1 have had the privilege of hearing both sides of the question discussed at different places by MT. Condray and Judge Prince, and think understand it perfectly. Now to the voters of Faulkner county: Let us lay aside all prejudice and reason this matter from a busi- ness standpoint. We all want good .,oads, but we all don't want to pay for them. If we could have a per manent road system at the expense of the business men of Conway, this bill would unanimously carry the vote of the rural part of Faulkner county But there will never be a time when this will be so.
 C. E. Condray, in my opinion, has favored us with bill that fits every condition of making good roads. It is true that this oill is not meeting the approval of all the voters and seems at times it's doom is sealed. Never theless, if this bill is turned down, the people who do not give it their sup port will regret it when they have had time to 'cool off the rise of temperature caused by the idea of taxation.
 The people who oppose this bill, or at least great per cent of them, give various reasons for opposing it. but I find the whole IT objections of Judge Prince and all others can be condensed into three: First, all pol iticians oppose it; second, those who vote against very small school tax, oppose it because it carries with it the idea of "a tax; third, socialists oppose it because they are opposed to any legislation at all
 Some people will not listen to reas- on on this question, because they don't want to know any more than that it calls for tax, and are going to NoCt IL ally way. oIHeTS VIII vote against it because they have been misinformed of the facts of the bill. Now, let us all come down to common sense of the matter and really study this bill and compare the low tax of seven cents per acre with good road
 We have built state capitol with in the last 15 years and at a cost of about S2,000,000 and do not owe one cent now. This will show you that the tax is not going to put any body on starvation or put them with out a home. We have 20 years in which to pay this S350,000, and this is not going to hurt anybody. Now everybody go to the polls on March 31 and vote for the road law, because it is the only plan to have good roads at an equal cost to all.

BERYL.

Jim Ballard has been all smiles the last few days over the arrival of a big boy at his home Monday, March IS.
 John Fuqua and family spent last Tuesday night in Conway visiting at the home of his father-in-law, County Treasurer Giddings.
 MT. Condray's address on the new road law at the schoolhouse Wednes- day was we'll attended. As the law is being explained it is gaining favor and people are beginning to look at it in the right light.
 Grandma Fuqua returned home last Sunday after spending several days at Hiram Fuqua's on Palarm.
 A. B. Willis went to Vilonia last Tuesday on business.
 Vernon Summers is changing some fence on his place.
 The quilting" at Aunt Will Grad dy's last Wednesday was enjoyed by all who attended
 Sem McHenry is busy fencing his new ground.
 After reading Judge Princes 17 objections against the Condray road law, we find that he is afraid to put any confidence whatever in the in tegrity of the commissioners. But we would just as soon risk them as we have been doing, allowing one man (the county judge) to grind it out at the rate of about $16,000 a year and have no roads either.

BODY TO BE EXAMINED.

The remains of the infant found in

sent in the evening to the State labora-
tory of hygiene at Burlington for the
autopsy to determine whether or not
the child was alive at the time it was
thrown into the pond. The body was
badly decomposed. The body was found
by two boys who were rowing boat
on the pond early in the afternoon. AS
soon as the boys realized the Importance
of their discovery, one of them hurried
to the nearest telephone and called
Selectman Frank Cormack. Mr.. Cor.
mack in turn telephoned Justice E. c.
Bennett, who made arrangements witt
Undertaken j. E. Walbridge to take

UNPREPARED.
Rutland Herald.
whatever

The word preparedness" has been
much used during the progress of the
European war, and the lessons of a
years conflict is still embodied in that
potent term.
Because Germany was prepared she
was able to throw out two great salients
and effectualy keep her enemies from
German soil.
Because England was prepared at sea
she has been able TO sweep German
commerce from the ocean and deliver
huge armies and unreasonable quanti-
ties of stores.
Because Japan was prepared she was
able to nulify German influence in the
Orient and proclaim an open door in
China.
| Now the REVERSED
Unpreparedness has cost England,
France and Russia millions of lives
and billions of treasures, swept away in
fruitless sacrifice.
Unpreparedness halted the Russian
advance in Galicia and now compels the
surrender of Warsaw because arms anC
munitions have failed.
Unpreparedness robbed the Allies o.
their opportunity at Ypres, when thu
lack of explosive shells compelled then
to forego the advantage following thu
repulse of the Kaiser's army.
Unprepsredness on the Gallipoli pen
insula prevented an effective land at
tack to support the naval assault, ant
the campaign of the Dardanelles was
failure.
The lesson to the United States i
vital. 1t is written in letters Of bloo
and ilumined by points of fire.
A powerful navy;
An efficient army;
Better coast detences;
Citizen soldiers prepared for war;
Further comment is needless.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The Advance.


The liquor traffic has no more right to
exist in any community, protected by a
local option vote, than gambling houses
or houses of prostitution or opium joints
or smallpox or yellow fever or tuber-
culosis. The only civilized, intelligent
and Christian way to deal with any evil
is to stamp it out. The plan of segre-
alton of the liquor traffic by local
option has already been abolished by lS
States, or its adjustment determined
upon to take effect at some future date,
and the good people of the nation are
united in calling for its entire abolition
throughout the land. The movement
for it's outlawing is being pressed ir
other States, and though it can not now
be said just when it shall become fact
for the whole land, yet is certain thai
the time is rapidly approaching wher
this terrible, degrading, man-eatint
monster shall no longer be harbored b!
any State. segregated by any methoc
whatever

H. Dugan, the junior member of the
firm, with William c. Carbine and
BARLEY Costello, both connected with
the store for several years past will con-
stitute the new firm, although Mr..

IMPORTANCE OF THE SCHOOLS.
To the Editor of the Register:
Only short time now, one month,
before the opening of schools. The
teacher and pupils will soon be in
full working force. For the want of
education a nation perishes, says
Milton. Statistics show that it is the
supreme business of the country when
Judged by the number of people en-
gagged in the calling, and there can be
no doubt as to the greatness when
judged by the result. About one-ffth
of the population of the United States
is enrolled in the public schools. 1t re-
quires more than one million teachers
to instruct the vast number, an average
of about thirty-six pupils to each
teacher.
A little learning is dangerous thing.
Have we not all proved this to be true
The smaller a PERSONS learning, the
louder the noise he makes. An educated
person, though he has not had the
chance with books that he aspires to, il
the one who, refusing to be blinded b!
the most exasperating conditions of thu
present, closely considers the futur
and shapes his course to reap the re
ward which surely awaits him. TIL
far-sighted know that cooperation wit
teacher, parents and citizens at large
is the road to prosperity, hence to sue
cess, and this means education, which i
only another word for wisdom.

instruction is somewhat of a novelty in
most Vermont communities but it offers
splendid possibilities for teacher and pu-

courses of instruction in swimming in
every community, for the ability to swim
may be imperative in every persons life
and, besides, the exercise is very bene-
cial to young and old The Randolph
teachers idea ought to be copied
