per cent, more. 1t is a fact
that no one disputes we cannot
use ali the money at once, and
what is the use of paying inter-
est on those bonds when the
money will be idle for so long?
Why not pay for the work as it
is done and save the interest.
Did any one ever tell in their
letters that they wrote, about
how easy they could pay off the
bonds, and how much interest
we would have to pay? l will
answer this by saying, not that
/ ever saw. Now l am going to
tell what my figures make it, and
if l make a mistake. hope some
one will correct it.
Now, the intereston one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars
for fveyears, (thatis as short time
as bonds are issued for) would
be $780, 800. If the bonds were
taken up at the end of the five
years that would raise the amount
up to $155, 500. Now, the State
Road Commissioner said that the
State would not pay their part
under ten years. Now we would
have to pay the interest on that.
which would be $7.625, making
a grand total of $163, 125.
Now, if I am not mistaken,
these figures are correct. But

Senator Trigg's pauper-idiot
bill was killed and properly so.
The nature of the bill was to
shift half the responsibility of
caringf for this class of the States
unfortunates to the counties.
While the State is in debt, it
would not be right to shift its
responsibility to the counties. A
pauper idiot is allowed $500
per annum for his or her care,
and to force the counties to pay
half the amount would not
be right. in our j I'D g m ent.
Let the State cut down
expe nses by doing away
with useless offices, and in some
instances salaries might be re-
duced. Senators Charley Mont
gomery and Ront. Antle fought
the bill. Senator Trigg doubt
less thought his bill would re-
duce expenses without icing
burdensome, but his judgment
was wrong.

Good Road Proposition.
Editor News

Editor News
If you will allow me space in
your valuable paper, will write
a short letter concerning the
road proposition as some of us
see it out here in the mud.
Now will begin by saying, we
are for good roads if they will go
after them in the right way, but
we cannot see the point in bond
ing the county to pay for them.
We would like to see good roads,
and we would also like to see
them paid for as we get them.
Now of course some of the men
who are in favor of bonding say,
this can never be done, but say
it can. They claim that 5 per
cent, over what we are paying
now, will pay the whole thing in
less than twenty years. Nov if
this is true. why not make it Is
or 25 per cent. and pay as we

fathers plods through the mud
and makes money enough to
send to them so they can make
him visit. Now this is a very
disheartening condition l know,
but what could be worse than
for them to leave home and poor
old father could not send them
money to get back on because it
took all he could possibly spare
to pay the interest on the bonds.
Poor boy, would he not be in a
fix? With all good will and re-
spect for Mr.. Phelps | am going
to say l think he is not thinking
what he is writing. Of course
he has put it to US pretty hard,
but l don't think he meant any
thing by what he said. Now he
should remember there was quite
a difference in the amount that
that Russell county asked for
and what Adair county wanted
more than three times what his
county ask for. Of course they
got and we did not, but l expect
that there is men who voted for
the bonds that if it was to do
over they would vote against
them.

Considerable speculation has
gone the round as to the expense
of building the Columbia and
Stanford road. 1t should be I'M
derstood that the road, as start
ed ard which will be completed
to the creek, is being made four
teen feet wide-three wagon loads
wide and two deep of crushed
stone with ample screenings for
cover and which is rolled until
hard. Beyond the creek the
stone will be only nine feet wide,
a saving in stone of one third of
the road now being built. At
this date we have not ascertained
the cost of the road but having
an opportunity to see Mr.. U. M.
Order, boss of the rock quarry,
we find that the rock, ready for
the crusher at the quarry has
cost the county about 49, cents
per perch. This cost falls far
below the suspicious of some
who seemed to fear that the
quarrying was costing entirely
too much. So far as we know
and so far as our informants who
know the business, the rock is
being quarried at a very conser-
vative price if not really below |
the averaged. The court will |
meet in a few days and canvass
the entire situation at which |
time we hope to be in position to
give further information, The
road that has been completed is |
good and but for the extreme
bad weather would have moved
faster and doubtless cheaper.
Mr.. Order who manages the
quarry is an experienced man
and knows how to get good re-
suits.

BOY 'FIREBUG' ADMITS
HE SET $4,000 BLAZE
Child Wanted "to See Flames
Shoot"-"Fun" Caused In
jury to Firemen

A 12-year-old schoolboy confessed to
Fire Marshal Elliott this afternoon that
he was the "frebug" who had kept Ken
sington firemen on the jump during the
last few weeks.
"I like to see. the flames shoot" was the
reason given by little John Macarthur, of
1922 North Front street, for starting
blazes that caused property loss running
into thousands of dollars and which re-
suited in severe injury TO several firemen.
Macarthur was taken into custody this
afternoon by Assistant Fire Marshal CAL
lagher, following search for the cause OF
the fire last night in the building occu-
pied by the Merchants Warehouse Com
pany at Front and Berks streets. The loss
was estimated at $4,000.
That, according to the boys own state
ment, was his second fire in one day. In
the afternoon, at about 1890 o'clock. an
alarm was sounded from the box at How
ard and BerlSs streets. and when fremen
arrived they found blaze in the ware
house of Peter Woll, 1900 North Mascher
street The fire was eXtingushed with
littlelloss.
Macarthur admitted setting this fire, but
apparently he was disappointed because
his desire to see the flames shoot into the
air had not been satisfied. So. after sup
per. he said, he went to the Merchants
Warehouse and set another blaze. An
alarm was given from the same box, and
when firemen arrived they found the fire
had gained such headway that another
alarm was necessary.
On the way to the fire Ray Williams
driver of Engine No. 90, was thrown from
his seat when an axle broke A horse
crashed into a telegraph pole and had to
be shot. Edward V. Volz was overcome
by smoke, and an artery In the thumb
of William Macarthur was cut by broken
glass. All the men were taken to st.
Mary's Hospital.
Henry C. Miller. president of the Ware
house Company, believed sparks from an
engine on the railroad nearby had caused
the fire, but the number of blazes in that
vicinity recently caused the fire marshal
to start an investigation. He learned that
young Macarthur had been seen in the
neighborhood, and the lad was later ar
rested. This afternoon he was sent to
the House of Detention after being ex-
amined by Fire Marshal Elliott
Macarthur also confessed to starting a
fire in the Keystone Feed Company's
building, 1909 North Front street, last
Saturday April Fools Day, and another
blaze at 1901 North Hope street, Tuesday.

The Key to Preparedness
y"HOp''


charlton Bates Strayer in Leslie's
The prodigal expenditure of shells is
one of the amazing features of the Eu-
ropean war. The first three weeks of;
the battle of the Somme British gun
ners rained upon the enemy 5O0,0O0'
shells day, or 100000 projectiles in
20 days. Drill Chips. magazine of the
Cleveland Twist Drill company, gives
100000 as the number of shells daily
required by a respectable artillery
force in action, and points out that the
Frankfort arsenal is the only one the
United States posses fitted for making
field-gun ammunition, and that If it
worked night and day for one year, cit
might be able to supply just about
enough shells for single days shoot
ing" We talk about 100000 men
springing to the country's defense be-
tween sunrise and sunset. Visionary
as this is. we overlook the fact that
every million soldiers in the field, as
the American Machinist points out calls
for 100000 trained workers, sweating
in the factories for the support of the
army.
Organization of industry is even
slower process than creation of new
armies. Kitchener's army was ready to
go TO the front months before the
stream of guns and shells from the fac
tories had begun to run at full tide.
Drill Chips shows that transformation
of factories into munition plants re-.
quires months Of preliminary thoughta
'Jigs and fixtures and dies" it says
are not the product of a moment; de-
signs, blue-prints and gauges do not
grow on trees; and interchangeabi1ity
of parts and intelligent inspection are
the result of training and not of in
spiration. German factories made the
preparation years ago. Each little shop
had a small order of shells to make
practically every factory in the en-
pire was able instantly to take its place
in the war supply scheme" The Ma
tional Security league is wisely at
tempting to secure for the United
States efficient industrial preparedness
through a complete inventory of the
countrys manufacturing resources and
the introduction of small educational
orders, so that manufacturers and
workmen may become intimately ac-
quainted with the manufacture of army
and navy supplies. Chairman Howard
e. Coffin of the committee on industrial
preparedness of the naval consulting
board reports that over 10000 manu-
featuring concerns, representing a totN
annual business of about 100000 ,00Os
all of which can render important serv-
ice in the event of war. are being in-
ventoried. Strategic railways also are
an essential part of preparedness.
