MORE ABOUT ROADS.

me writer, in company with five other representative cii-
zens, took a 14-mne trip into the country Tuesday for the pur-
pose OF examining some of the public roads. Not a single one
o. u party thought that a single mile of the road we traversed
was ANYTHING like what it should be, considering what the
county is paying for roads. One of the party, one of the lead
ing business factors OF the state, remarked, "The county is not
getting 10 per cent of what tt S paying for on it's roads" While
we 40 not subscribe to this, yet the opinion of this gentleman
Will show our supervisors how others view the road question.
Inc trouble with the roads we have seen lately, is, that thew are
100 nat; they are not high enough in the center and are not
properly dralned., In very many instances in the roads. there
are low places where the water will stand and in many in
The drags used appear to be too light. T
1t has been stated that often it is the purpose of the board
u De resolute IN not making payments unless the roads are up
to contract, but that when the citizens of the very districts
"nere the roads are located almost beseech the board to nav
contractors %n the duty Of the board is all the more embarrassing.
we fuHy appreciate this, but the board is acting for the tax
payers of the whole county and as custodians of the business Of
the county, and what the county has contracted to do should
alone be the boards guide in paying road contractors. 1t is not
our purpose to embarrass the board, and we are sure it is not
me wIsho OF any good citizen of the county to do so, however we
Ieei that Is is but natural that that body would like to know
that 1T has the moral backing of the people of the county in
anything 1T undertakes. We feel sure that The Sentinel is but
PlVlng voice to what a vast majority of those who foot the
countys tax bills think and from now on the Supervisors NAV
assure road contractors that they (the Supervisory will be
supported in holding them to the contract and that
.hey will hear from the tax payers when they fail to do this.

WOULD THINK HE HAD A RIGHT.

The man who objects to the one-quart-at-thetime liquor
law because it abridges his personal liberties no doubt also
objects to the law which requires him to ego to the right when
meeting another person or vehicle" in the public road; to the
law which abridges his personal liberties in requiring that
he go down into his pocket and take out a part of his cash to
defray the expenses of the county and state government. This
same individual, we dare say, also objects to the law which for
bids his dumping one of his dead animals near the premises of
his %neghbor; he also opposes the law which requires that he
keep his own yard sanitary lest disease, which would affect not
only his own family but that of his ~neighbor, be bred. This
same man would unquestionably also presume on his right to
turn a mad dog loose in the streets or on the public road, and
thinks that his neighbor should sit in ease while his pet rattle
snake rOamed around in his room.
The very thought of returning to the day of the saloon is
horrifying and to think of making it easy to get whiskey par
allels the idea of the man who thinks others should not object
to being near a dead carcass, and that he has a right to keep in
his own yard a skunk, or any other malodorous object, regard
less of what those who must live near him think of it, Too few
people, alas too few, stop to consider how their acts affect 9TH
ers and the obligation they owe to the world. Men do not live

HONOR,

1t is the mother of the youngster who injects into his or her
system the value of honor.
Sometimes father has time to stop reading his and
THINK things over. 1t is att this particular time that he should think
things not only over but seriously. The youth of either sex is
susceptible. 1t can be easily influenced. At the adolescent age
the mind is easily controlled.
The true basis of distinction among men is not in position or
in possession. 1t is not in circumstances of life. 1t is not in the
conduct of u daily affairs. A
1t does not for a minute matter what a mans position in the
world may be. We are living in a matter-of-fact age. 1t does
not, IN a common sense way, matter how much money a man NAV
nave. II there be defects in his behavior, if there be shortcomings
in his business transactions, if some one can crook his finger. point
at a man and shrug his shoulders, his social and commercial career
is ruined.
Honor counts first.
The mar without honor is without respect or consideration.
1t is not wealth which gives us place in a community; it is or
duct which commands respect.
We should know no above us but for his virtues and no
man below us but for his vices.
Entertaining this view, W e should seek to initiate the good,
though it be found under a coarse exterior, and to pity the evil,
though it be clothed in the finest garb and dwell in luxury.
We should never become obsequious in the wrong place.
W e should call 10 man mean, low, or apply any vulgar epithet to
him because he occupies an humble calling in life. The who
cleans a sewer is just a good as the who turns the pages of a
Bible and announces his text, if his heart is in the right place and
he holds close to his honor.
In point of real worth and real manhood a man may be
morally much superior to the president of the bank in his banking
community.
The virtuous and right-minded sons of toll are, Is time has
recorded, natures noblemen." They are lords of good, lovers of
nature, lovers of each other. They may not have been born to
shine to have been the recipients of empty honors, but they
may have been born to be the buwark of the nation, and as such
W e should view all men.-Commercal Appeal, Oct. Is.
The above is a sermon in itself and could have come onl,

TOO PROUD TO FIGHT"

IN the absence of any issue, Republican spellbinders
througnout the country have jumped from one little thing to
II e otner IN their attacks on President Wilson. He has seemed

20 state what they would have done if confronted with
n same issues he has had to meet. Roosevelt has attacked
r ne resident several times for saying, in connection with our
with Mexico, that there are times when eve are too
proud to fight" John Sharp Williams, in a speech delivered
a rev days ago at j Racine, Wisconsin, took up the challenge
mace by Roosevelt and his defense of Wilson for this statement
ought TO put any real proud, big man, to shame. Hear him:
They said: oh, well, but Mr.. Wilson said, "Frequently a
ma might be to- proud to fight And they made all sorts of
u OF that. Well, let them ridicule it all they please. / repeat:
a ma who is a ma is sometimes too proud to fight. If he is a

Will appear. The voter will indicate his choice by marking, if

about the manner of voting, but in view of the length of the
ticket, which will be four columns of 80 inches each, and the
unusual amount of reading matter on same, The Sentinel thinks
that its readers would appreciate these suggestions.

VINEYARD MADE RICH YIELD
But Profits Of California Winery
Were Becoming Doubtful-Rlce
viii Be Grown.

The 50,000-acre vina ranch. near
Chico, one OF the Stanford univer-
sity properties under the original
foundation made by Senator and Mrs
Leland Stanford. has lost its fame and
profit as big California vineyard and
winery and will soon be transformed
into big rice field, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin.
This is the object OF the Stanford
university trustees and the result OF
several OF their business steps OF late.
Some OF the old vineyard land has al
ready been sown in rice and much
more will be SO cultivated next year.
BY attacks OF Johnson grass and
phylloxera, coupled with the fire losses
OF some months ago, when the United
States internal revenue wine and
brandy vaults and warehouses were
destroyed, the vineyard has been re-
duced to a questionable asset
This condition led the trustees TO
make radical changes. Rice was de-
cided upon because its cultivation in
that part of the state has become a
great industry.
