son county several years ago. DurinS

county from Madison county about
twelve years ago TO make this his
permanent home. He has resided in
northwest Arkansas practically all
his life, as he was born within a
few miles of Fayetteville.
In speaking Of his term OF office

Der OF votes He was very close
second, leading his other opponents
by approximately four and five hun
drad votes, respectively.
He was county judge of Madison
county jim 1896 and 1898. He was
tried and tested in that county, and
found TO be ever watchful CT the peo-
pies interests, financial conditions
were closely followed, good roads
were built at very little cost, and
no scandal occurred during his term
of office. He retired voluntarily az
ter serving two terms, and with a
record that is held UP to the gaze
of candidates for this office il Mad
ison county today, as an example Of
conscientious, fair and impartial
iudgeship.
The office Of County Judge is one
of the most important within the
gift of the people of Washington
county, and no mistake or error
should be made in the selection of
the man to fill this responsible posi-
ton. And more especially at this
time, when the agitation for more
and better roads is being made,
should the people select a man who
is trustworthy and competent to pass
on the many problems that will be
brought UP during the time the roads
are being built. Many are the lit
tie details and questions that must
be handled by the County Court, and
man should preside at the meet
ings of this Court. who is able. CON
scientious, and watchful of the PEG
Pies interests. Such a man is Judge
Baker
The News commends the candidacy
of H. L. Baker to the voters of Wash
ington county believing him to be Il
man in every way qualified to fiji
the office TO which he aapires.

THE NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD

The proposed north and south road
extends through Washington County
from the Benton County line on the
north to the Crawford County line
ON the south; it is approximately
thirty eight miles long and the dis
trict includes about $4,000 acres of
land, including real estate for two
mites on cash side of the proposed
road.
1t is planned to construct the road
fer an average Appropriated cost
o. $4,000 per mile under the provis-
ions of tue Alexander Law enacted
by the last General Assembly.
Leaders of the movement for good
roads are satisfied that roads can be
built more economically under the
Alexander Law than under any other
way, but they realize that cam
paign of education as to the provis-
ions of the law is necessary. From
time TO time in the future through
public meetings and through the
press of the county the Alexander
Law will be explained and it is be-
lieyed that in short time,-in sui
fl. lent time for the early organiza7
ton of a district-the law will have
gained the approval of all interested
parties. Until the plan is demonstra-
ted satisfactorily to the taxpayers
no definite steps will be taken. -
Fayetteville Democrat.
The News has already gone on re-
cord as favoring the Alexander road
law as the proper means, and is al
ready endeayoring to explain that
Law to it readers We do not want
to appear "hoggish" and would glad
ly welcome assistance along this line
from other papers, both in Wash
ington county. and other places.
Jump in; let the people understand
the Alexander road law, and the bat
tie for better roads at less money is
half won.

VARIOUS ROAD ITEMS
ALEXANDER ROAD LAW

The following from the Clarks-
Vile Democrat, published at Clarks-
VILE, in Johnson county; where they
are getting ready to build a macad
amized road speaks with reference
10 the Alexander Road Law
It has been clearly demonstrat-
ed that the best and cheapest
roads in the long run are those
permanently butt and under the
provision of this law, the repay
ment of the funds necessary for
the building will be SO gradual
and well distributed that the use
of the road will actually more
than repay for the initial ex-
pense. Nothing will place
county on the map any quicker
than good roads, at least enc
GOOD through highway, and con
sidering the ease to the tax pay
ers with which it can be built UNI
der this Alexander bill makes it
matter that We cannot afford to
neglect. 1t will not only be a
step of progress but a good in
vestment as we'll for it has been
the experience of others that
the property affected has been in
creased in valuation much more
than enough TO offset the slight
increase in taxation. Let us
have good roads permanently
built and let the building be done
under the Alexander Road Law
which has proven to be the most
effective method.
