Do you subscribe to the theory that virtue is it's own reward?"
 "Oh, yes," replied the practical poli- tic1an. "But man in public life can't afford to be too virtuous."

County Attorney Jordan has
prepared petitions for circula-
tion requesting the board of su-
pervisors to submit a good roads
bond election for $125, 900. The
Mail is in favor of good roads,
and we are pleased to know Mr..
Jordan has taken this initiative
movement, but it appears to us
we are getting the cart before
the horse. To call an election to
vote bonds and then appoint COM
missioners to view the roads and
report where the money will be
expended is hardly a sound busi-
ness proposition. 1t would be
far better if the county engineer
and one or two other men were
appointed by the board to make
a comprehensive survey of the
roads of Navajo county, make
estimates of the amounts needed
in each case to put the roads in
good condition, and submit the
result of their investigation to
the supervisors. From these
figures the supervisors could in
telligently proceed to make a
fairly accurate estimate of the
bond issue required, and they
would have the necessary infor-
nation at hand to give to the
voters. It may take a little long
er perhaps, but it will be more
certain of success. The taX-pay-
ers want to be taken in full con-
fdence as to the why and where
fores of a bond issue, and when
convinced they will be found al
ways ready and willing to vote
the aid needed. To crowd or
try to force the matter is apt to
leave the impression of some job
concealed somewhere, and then
the result is always fatal to the
bond issue.

BLACK. BLIGHT Of COFFEE

The black leaf coffee blight or. flu.

according to advices received by the

is secondary leaf disease following at
taeks of torpedo-bugs, mealy bugs and
various scales.
These pests are insects with sucking
mouth parts, which send their beaks
nto the tender heritage and pump the

STEERS AT Sl5.OO
FORTY YEARS AGO

How the increase in the cost of liv
ing has progressed in the last thirty o
forty years was discussed by Gov. J. B
Kendrick of Wyoming, an old stockman
who has watched the march of events
Today a chicken is worth more than {
turkey was few years ago; a turkey
more than hog; hog more than 2
cow used to be worth, and q COW NOR
than horse. This illustrates the in,
crease in the price of food stock.
'In March, 1879. I went down t.
Texas to look over 1000 head of steers
in Matagorda county, Southern Texas, "
Governor Kendrick said. "While was
down looking over the young cattle ]
was asked by the mapager Of the ranch
If cared to buy some older steers. The
owner, was told, had a number Of
6year.old steers that he would sell, al
though he was not anxious. He was 60
