Fair Play overlooks the fact
that by joining with the State in
the good road building the ex-
penditure of the money would be
safeguarded and that the people
would receive the equivalent in
value in first-class roads for the
money expended. His only
reason given for his objection to
to a bond issue is thathe fears"
that the money would not be
rightly expended. 1t would be
just as we'll to object to putting
in corn for fear there would be a
drouth. Heretofore the Courier
has published columns of Fair
Plays advocacy of good roads
in fact, scarcely a letter he has
written was without some criti-
cism or condemnation of the bad
roads of the county, and yet we
find him opposing the only thing
that will ever give the people
good roads.

have proven it.

l have criticised our Fiscal
Court in an instance or two, but
it was for what they did, and not
for what | feared they might do.
In fact, my criticism was not for
the men, but for the system I'M
der which they labored. | be-
lieve that our justices compare
favorably with that of any county
in the State, and | believe that
they are all honest and do the
best they can, but I do not be-
lieve that any Fiscal Court can
properly manage the finances of
any county. In proof of this,
many of the counties are doing
away with the Fiscal Courts and
adopting the Commission system
and in every instance where the
change has been made the bust
ness of the county has been vastly
bettered. But even with the
present system, Fair Play has the
worst of the argument. 1t was
because that the Fiscal Court
would not expend money for the
improvement of the roads that
caused my criticism, and with the
bond issue successful | do not
think that this Fiscal Court could
be accused of being liable to ex-
pend it too lavishly. And Fair
Play is again mistaken when he
says that it would necessitate
new officers to vote a bond issue
for good roads. In truth, l be-
ieve that my good brother is in
favor of a bond issue to build
good roads and build up the
country, but thinking that the
subject might lag, has taken the
other side just to stir up con-
troversy. | can not conceive of
Fair Play bringing his ever ready
hammer to knock at a proposition
that means so much for his
country. 1t may be that he has
become so used to knocking"
that he pulled his trusty hammer
and hit the road bond issue a
knock before he recognized it,
thinking it might be something
that needed hammering and was
afraid to lose an opportunity.
| trust that in his next letter
Fair Play will come out and
say that he isin favor of a bond
issue, under proper safeguards,
of a sufficient size to justify the
building enough good roads to
benefit the whole citizenship of
the country. l know he. wants

Then what do you suppose?
She takes her bag, extracts a rag
And powders up her nose.

With powder on her nose.

Woman's Sphere.

They talk about a woman's sphere
AS thought it had a limit.
There's not a place in earth or
heaven,
There's not a task to mankind

There's not a blessing or a wo,
There's not a life, or death, or

That has a feathers weight of
worth

Believing that in the multitude

knowledge that he is wrong in
the matter. He gives as one
reason for being opposed to the
bond issue that in the collection
of the fines and forfitures the
State gets but little of them.
And he was slightly out of his
calculations when he stated the
amounts that they received. But
even if his position on that was
correct, how does the distribution
of the fines and forfeitures affect
the building of roads? Fair Play
is right in his contention that all
of the people ought to be benefit
ed by the building of good roads,
but he is wrong in supposing that
the amount proposed to be raised
will build only rs miles Of road.
The proposition is to builda turn
pike from the county seat to the
county line, meeting the roads
from the county seats of every
county adjoining Morgan. With
good roads running to the county
seat of every county that adjoins
us is there a citizen in the county
who would not be greatly benefit
ed? Indeed, the benefits would
be SO great THAT ina very little
time after the roads were built
there would be such a sentiment
in favor of the building Of better
roads that there would be a beg
ging to be taxed to build more
roads.

to see that under the old system

not have good roads, and it would
seem that one who has been so
caustic in his criticismsof those re-
sponsible for the maintenance of

the belief that my good friend
has fallen into the habit Of being
a chronic kicker: that he has be-
come so used to finding fault with
all and sundry people and things
that he just can't help being

A Gentle Reproof.

My good friend, Fair Play"
in his communication to the
Courier last week found it seemly
to him to state that he was oppos-
ed to the issue of bonds for build
ing good roads. The usual good
judgment that my friend exer-
cises seems to have deserted him
when he penned that article. For
years he has been one of the fore
most advocates of civic improve
ment, and have enjoyed reading
his caustic criticisms of things
that went wrong, and l was sur
prised when Tread his last weeks

matter with you?

Every Record in
Chalmers History
Broken in August

Monday. August %. closed the biggest
sales day in the biggest sales month in
the history OF the Chalmers Motor COM
pany." was the announcement of c, A.
Pfeffer, vice president and assistant gen
eraI manager. During this week alone
two train loads OF Chalmers cars wore
shipped east to distributors and dealers
in the metropolitan districts TO apply on
orders which have been piling up faster
than night and day production could take
care of them.
This record is all the more remarkable,
following as It docs on the heels OF rec
ord breaking sales In July, during which
month more Chalmers cars were sold
than In any preceding July.
Mr.. Pfeffer attributes the bulk of this
business to the phenomenal SUCCESS OF
the valve-in-head overhead camshaft
motor, which is installed in the seven
passenger Chalmers "Six-4O," and an
nouncement Of the popular Light Six,
which formerly sold at 1896. to sell at

Indication that this industry has ceased
10 be one of seasons. The difference In
demand for cars in September and May
was not noticeable. OF course It Is
difficult to gauge the demand when you
have chronic over-demand such as REQ
experiences.
Notwithstanding, there was a marked
difference between this and former years
I'm that the demand continued through
the season, II seems just as brisk now.
II Is due of course to the fact that peo-
pie have found the automobile indispen-
sable In the winter as well as In the
summer. and l expect to see the demand
even greater than the spring demand in
the future, for the reason that buyers
have come to know that the actual new
models are brought out in the fall sea-
son and that only by buying them can
they he sure of having a car for the
spring use. To wait until the spring ao-
tually opens means that 1t will be i'm
possible to get any Of the more popular
makes OF cars"

NO NEW REQ CARS

Company Completes Most Successful
Year in History Without a
Car Left Over.
NEW MODEL OUT SEPTEMBER IL

I'VE have just completed the most sue
cessfm year in our history" said Rich
ard II. Scott, vice president and general
manager of the REQ Motor Car company,
when on August 20 the factory superin-
tendent informed him that the last car
OF the 1915 series had been shipped.
Our volume of business for the last
year has been 80 per cent more than
the year previous and our growth has
been steady from the day REQ was in
corporated-in 1906.
1--WE have always underestimated--or II
We did not underestimate, we underpro-
,duced-the REQ demand. This year we
fell short OF the mark farther than ever
before, and while II is a source OF much
qualification, it is also regrettable that
for several weeks there will not be
new REQ car for sale anywhere in the
world.
"our original plans were such that the
factory run on material for the 1915 mod
els would be completed about the last
Nof September when the new models were
to be announced and ready. In our eff
forts to meet the insistent demands of
the last few months, however we put on
an extra shift and that, of course. used
up the materials more rapidly. Despite
the fact that we made several thousand
more Reos than we originally planned.
still the material was used up before
that for the new models was ready. AS
q result there is now a gap between pro
duotion seasons when 1t is impossible
to buy a new REQ.
