"pIRT ROADS" AND RAINFALL
Easy to Be Seen That Good Roads
Proposition Gets Down to Cues.
tion Of Dollars and Cents.

Back in the boom days Of railroad
building many q county in full many
middle West and western state
voted hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars worth OF bonds to get railroad
to cross its boundaries. This was in
the old days of pioneer poverty when
lands were selling anywhere from
$1.25 to SIS an acre. Some counties
are still paying of railroad bonds.
some repudiated the debt and others
have had half century of litigation
over them. However. for the most
part the roads were built and agricul.
tural development followed their com.
ing.
Something like three-fourths of all
the freight hauled by railway lines
must. first or last. pass over public
highways. It has been shown over
and over again that every ton so
moved costs 20 cents a mile. 1t is
easy to see that the good roads prop
osition gets down to q matter of dol
lars and cents.
Next March. or maybe April, when
we have to walk to town across the
fields; when 1t takes a six-horse team
to move q load OF hay mile; when
the mail carrier cannot get around for
a week and tho children miss school
on account of the mud-then we
are all for good roads. AS the mud
dries and the chuck-holes fill, we get
lukewarm. When the road-bond prop
osition comes up We begin to talk
high taxes and either stay away from
the polls or vote against 1t.
Good roads will never come till we
change our views and keep them
changed. Left to themselves dirt
road and rain will always mean mud.

Representative in the General
Assem- bly, of Missouri from Penn.
iscot county, subject to tue &C.
tion of the Democratic voters at
the primary, Tuesday, August l..
Il. r. Foust, or Joe" as he is
Familiarity known by his friends,
and in fact in his community, or
Concord, is a native Pemiscovian,
having been born and reared on
the farm he now occupies, and
owns very extensive tract of
land there and cultivates about
400 acres.
Owing to the amount of land he
has in cultivation this year he
will not be in a position where he
can get around and call upon all
the voters, but asks that every
Democrat carefully consider his
claims.
"Joe's" education was &C.
quircd in the district school,
supplemented by attending the
Normal at Cape Girardeau. He
is a staunch Democrat of the I'M
terrified and militant type, who
has always voted the ticket as it
came from the printing press,
thus laying all responsibilities
for mistakes onto the printer.
Mr.. Foust is So years old, and
is neither too old nor too young
to attend to the duties of repre-.
sentative, and should he be
elected, Pemiscot county may |
rest assured he will do all within |
his power and ability to safe
guard her interests. He is a
progressive farmer, and always
has been a close observer of cur.
rent events and a student of pub.
lie questions.
Really, we know of no greater
to be paid to a man than
saying, he is a good man. good
citizen, good neighbor, and a
good Democrat.
