BETTER ROADS

der law being put lnto eliec' ioi
the building of good roads. This
act seems to have met popular
demand, and it is destined to prove
great thing for the state.
The present system OF working
the public highways is not a failure
entirely although it must be ad-
mitted that good portion OF the
road funds is wasted annually lhe
present system will never make
permanent good roads in this coun-
try. There is absolutely no reason
to hope for substantial roads In
this country under the present Sys-
tenn of working roads.
There are several reasons for
this fact, chief among which is
that the tax money does not accu-
mulate fast enough to permit any
of The roads being made a finished
product, so that they will require
but slight attention now and then
to maintain them in good shape
We do little work here today, a
little at another place tomorrow,
and a little somewhere else the
next day, until the road funds are
exhausted, with the result that
nothing permanent has been ac-
complished anywhere. The rains
undo the work of the overseer about
as fast as he does it, and the whole
thing is to do over again.
This is not so much the fault of
the overseers. In some instances,
like other people, they may make
mistakes, but usually the overseers
do the very best they can, consid-
erine the limited funds and equip
ment with which they are supplied
Under the present system no over
seer can afford to concentrate all
his labor and all the funds of his
district on one road, and yet in the
average road district the entire
road funds available for one whole
year would be sufficient to complete
a very small stretch of bad road
Did you every think what a howl
would 90 up against the overseer
from the people If he were to at
tempt to utilize all the funds and
labor at his command on one bad
roadY And yet, did you ever think
that to do otherwise is practical
waste of both time and money!
The great trouble therefore with
road work in this country is that
nothing is carried on to completion,
and every year finds us just where
we were the year before, or a little
worse off probably, and with the
same work to be done over again.
There is no hope Of gaining ground
under the present SYSTEM and for
that reason 1t behooves every
thoughtful citizen to throw his
strength and his influence toward
the adoption of some plan by
which permanently good roads can
be secured.
1t is estimated that in the past
several years the sum of one hund-
red thousand dollars has been ex-
pended on the public roads in Sharp
county, and this sum does not in
clude the great amount of free labor
that has been given to the roads
1t Is quite true that the people
nave not had value received for all
this money, but If this sum had
been available at one time and
been disburSed by a practical road
builder this county would now have
many miles of finished road
But 1t Is too late and too useless
70 cry over milk that has been
spilled, The question Is, are we
gong to trust to the old system to
make roads when we know il is a
pat tailureY The road tax would
maintain good roads after they are
built but 1t will never build them,

Last autumn Mrs. John Lind petition
ed the N. P. Railway company for a
culvert at this point to serve the dou-
bile purpose of relieving the highway
nearby from being flooded at times
and also to enable her to use the sur
plus water from the spring for irri-
cation purposts. The railroad COM
pany reported favorably on this Pc
tition and not only did they promise
to put in culvert at this point, but
they are actually putting one in,
which is greatly appreciated, not on
ly by the petitioner, but also by the
public as we'll. If our county dads
would now follow the example of tht
N. P. and open up the original water
course at this point by placing good
culvert directly under the highway
crossing to carry the water from
above into the new N. p. culvert, past
experiences Of wagons, autos and
even pedestrians, getting stuck in the
mud at this place would end. Until
this is done history will repeat itself
and every spring the taxpayers will
have to pay for repair work that has
never done any good and never will.

The delightful custom of, decorating
the heads, necks and shoulders of ar
irving and departing guests probably
obtained in the hospitable islands of
the Hawaiian group for many hun
dreds of years before the original
Captain Cook-not the arctic explorer
discovered this paradise of the Pa
cific. Even today wonderful garlands
of flowers intertwined into solid ropes
of floral beauty called ''leis' are
wound around the hats or. necks Of
guests to typify the all enveloping vel
come of Hawaiian hospitality. Even
more beautiful and far more lasting
are the wreaths or leis made from the
plumage of maryelously beautiful trOp-

of a peacock. These are often worn
permanently on the hats of native gen

belt, which also supports one or two

harmless kriesses or daggers.

THE REAL ISSUE.

Coon Rapids Enterprise: Consid-
cradle comment is being made on
Ex-Gov. Garst's statement of his rea-
sons for opposing Mr.. Harding. He
bases his opposition on the claim
that Mr.. Harding misrepresented the
road issue in his campaign; that Mr..
Harding charged that his opponents
wanted to issue road bonds to the
amount of $10O.OO0,OO0. The En-
terprise was a pretty close reader OF
the reports of Mr.. Harding's speech
es and literature and we do not re-
call to mind a single instance in
which Mr.. Harding made such
charge. Some of Mr.. Harding S
friends may have made such charge,
but candidate for Office is not to be
held responsible for all the state
ments Of all his friends.
+, But, Mr.. Harding could, with rea-
son, as could his friends, have charg-

THE CANDIDATE.

If there was ever president in
the white house who changed his
mind as often as does Woodrow Will
son his name has slipped the Free
man-Tribune's memory. One thing
about Mr.. Wilson's somersaulting
is that he does it SO neatly and deft-
ly, as a result of constant practice,
that he gets away with it. He is
now strenuously advocating a bill
before congress that prohibits the
railroads from carrying goods made
by child labor under certain condi-
lions. 1t has been charged that the
president was not sincere in his ad-
vocacy of this measure, but is favor
ing it simply to get votes. And the
evidence supports this conclusion.
Here is what Woodrow Wilson said
about this question when he was
writing a book before he became a
and before he was out
fishing for votes:

the war department regulations this
compensation could not be allowed.
New York Dispatch.
1t appears from certain circum-
stances that there is somebody in the
war department and in congress who
has lots of influence and who is
against the soldiers. Perhaps as time
goes on it will be possible to locate
this hostility. What if the rules of
the war department regulating COM
pensation do not permit the govern
ment to pay the expenses of honor
ably discharged soldiers back to
their homes, it would be very easy
matter to change the rules, wouldn't
it? Possibly that never occurred to
the highbrows who are conducting
the war department. II they want
ed to pay the expense OF the sold
iers they would find some way to do
it, just as they find an excuse for
not doing something they do not
want to do.
