Ketrenchment and reform was
the keynote. He called atten-

the doing away with useless
offices. The message was short,

of five to ten years, and every
section of the county enjoy the
pleasure and profit they bring.
AS has heretofore been shown,
the debt would be paid, by taxes
alone, inside of thirty years. 1t
seems folly, even worse than
folly, for the people of this coun-
ty to overthrow, dwarf and post
pone its development for years.

not more costly in cash, less ex-
pensiye. in time, and which
would add many blessings to the
present generations, and descend
to future ones unimpaired. The
bond proposition was defeated
overwhelmingly, and it would
seem, judging the future by the
past, that it cannot succeed in
this county, but if the people
really and truly want roads, If
they are willing to pay for them
there is not a doubt as to its ul-
innate success. The people OF
Columbia in the main, made the
first fight, and as we find senti.
ment are willingfto support such
a measure again, but after the
county defeated it by such a de-
cisive majority, and every dollar
would have been used outside the
town, those who bore the hrunt
of battle before, will leave that
for those outside Of town. I'm
der such a State and the further
fact that we need the money the
town people would pay, we trust,
some day the farmer will unite
and resubmit the bond PROPOSE
ton Tor adoptions and secure
good roads at the earliest posi-
bic date. If we build we must
borrow the money. This will be
clear after awhile, but it may be
delayed too long.

WE'D. JAN. IL. 1916

The talk of bad roads is nov
heard every day. Many places
on the main roads are almost i'm
passible and bordering on danger
to those who must pass through
them. Thus it is every winter
and spring, and yet many, a
large m ajority of our people, last
year, went on record against i'm
proving them simply because the
proposition was, to borrow the
money and to pay it back during
a term of years as our road tax
would provide. The man who
says lie favors building good
roads and then fights the only
method available to secure them
in any reasonable time, certainly
must be mistaken as to his real
desire. There are many who
would be glad to have roads If
relieved from all expense in their
building, but such a desire is be-
yond hope and ought to be.
There are some content to live
under existing conditions, but
there are many who really desire
good roads, who are willing to
help build them. but voted
against the bond proposition,
fearing the debt would be disas-
trous TO the well being of the
county. The fact is that many
did not truly understand the
proposition, many acted on fears
and superstition. We have stud
led the proposition in every de-
tail, have been doing so for sew
eral years, and in truth and in
fact, have never found a county
or community that regretted
bonding and building public
roads. If such a course is good
in other counties similar IN re-
sources and conditions, why fear
evil results here? If borrowing
money and building roads have
blessed other counties why
should we fear different result?
The truth, the whole truth is,
that if we improve our condl
tons as community of people,
if we hope to keep pace with
other counties and sections III
the State, we must build roads.
This fact is so plain that any one
is bound to see it. 1t is also gen
orally admitted, so the real solu.
ton of how we can do it, and
how soon it can be done, are be-
fore us for decision. Under the

POLITICS DISCUSSED
BY SENATOR JONES
Claims Most Of Measures
Passed Were Voted For by
Republicans

Although Senator Wesley Jones, of
ism at the Grand opera house last night,
is brilliant speaker, a forceful and
virile orator, his eloquence did not draw
as well as the ladies of the "Golden
Special" or the talk of Senator Cham
berlain Saturday night and the house
was "not crowded." In his opening
remarks, Senator Jones stated he would
not abuse or question the sincere be-
| lief and views of those who held the
democratic viewpoint He paid tribute
to the sincerity of President Wilson but
charged that he made many mistakes in
his domestic and international policies.
Regarding the credit being taken by
democratic party leaders for what its
| termed constructive legislation, Senator
Jones declared that if the republican
representatives and senators had not
concurred they would not have been
passed. He was unable to see how the
democrats could assume credit for that
which belongs to both parties. He was
| of the opinion that the measures were
not political but economical and that
| therefore not proper material for cam
paign issues.
In the matter Of child labor legisla-
tion, he stated that the democratic
schedule did not have anything to do
with child labor and that if the republi-
cans had not refused to adjourn without
/, some action taken in this matter, child
labor laws would not have been passed.
He said that only one republican voted
against the bill, while ~ democrats
did.
Senator Jones likened the democratic
slogan, "Peace, Preparedness and Pros
perity,n to "sounding brass and. tink-
ling cymbals.' He said it has been
"Peace without honor, preparedness un-
der compulsion, prosperity based on
war;
He declared that the country's great
=, est danger from war was the acts of the
president himself, in his hating, hesi-
tating. uncertain vacillating course in
conducting international relations. He
said President Wilson has not kept us
out Of war but led us up to the verge
of conflict through indiscreet words and
unwise acts.
At this point some one shouted: "Let
him go on. He IS only making votes for
Wilson" Immediately cries of "Put
him out! Put him out!" rang through
the house but Senator Jones, believing
in his power to convert the heckler, said
"Let him stay in. He's an American
citizen and has right to his opinion
and, maybe when I'm through hen see
the error of his ways"
Senator Jones would have taken the
army into Mexico and established peace,
so he said. He would have prevented
American manufacturers sending guns
and ammunition into Mexico. He touch
ed on the tariff and praised the work
of Representative Hawley.

The more German American voters

praise of the glorious firm of Hughes
Roosevelt, Morgan & Co.-the German
American people have become apprehen
sive of being deceived and being about
to commit fatal mistake in following
the lead of their antiWilson press.
The German-American is no such fool
as to form an exception from Lincoln IS
saying about people that cannot be fool
ed all the time. The fact is that the
German-language press is realizing that
the growing feeling of distrust and even
contempt for Hughes and his clique in
German-American circles is about to
crystalize into vote for Wilson.
Very significant for the situation il
an utterance of the milwaukee Ger.
mania" paper which has outdono
nearly all others in its Wilson-hatred,
bordering on mono-mania. In long
editorial in one of its recent issues,
under the caption, "Wilson or
Hughese" the Germania" quotes
from letters written by its readers to
the editor, as follows:
"We know Wilson; but we don It
know what we will get in Hughes, so
we had better vote for Wilson,"
The editorial is an almost pitiable eff
fort to stem the tide of this growing
anti-Hughes sentiment. After an ad-
mission that Hughes is indeed in bad
company and that there may be reason
for distrusting him, the "Germania "
has no other argument to offer than
this: that, according to "natural
law" that a mans profession affects
his character, ga lawyer and justice
must necessarily be better man than
a school teacher" Hence the German
voters should, in absence of other proofs
of Hughes sincerity and fitness, place
their trust in the workings of this ina
tural law'' and vote for Hughes
