MAdoO Points Way To Peace

William G. McAdoo, secretary
of the treasury, addressing large
number of business men from all
parts of Texas, Thursday night
pointed out the road they must
follow if they are to achieve perma-
nent peace and prosperity, the
blessings which the banquet cele-
brated.
Fairness in dealings with other
nations, with particular attention
to South America provisions OF an
adequate merchant marine and
far-siyhted dealers in domestic at
fairs to produce general welfare
rather than local advantage, were
the principal points he stressed.
His mention of the president as
inaugurating broad principles
brought great applause. Its is a
great thing not to have wild man
in charge CT the government of
the United States. 1t is great
that our diplomacy is not dlctat-
ed by a swashbuckler. 1t is glor-
ious fact that the United States is
at peace with the world and an
honorable peace. / need not tell
an audience of southern men that
we will never have any peace but
an honorable peace"
Passing to a discussion of the
federal reserve act, he character
lied it as a characterization OF cur
rency by which equal opportunity
was brought to the small and the
great.
TT overthrow the rule of a
small group of men in financial
affairs" he declared. Our pre-
sent prosperity is more directly
resultant frem the federal reserve
act than from any other source. "

Get Busy On
Good Roads.

Louisiana must begin at once
the serious consideration of a good
roads bond issue by the state.
Such an issue is necessary, II ms
state is to keep steD with the
neighboring states of the South IN
their progress toward a compre,
hensive state system of improved
highways. Such an issue is nee
essary if this state is to redeem
the pledges and advertising made
10 the rest of the nation by her
representative citizen-which
pledges have induced Northern
states and capital to select Louis
lana as the Southern terminus OF
one international and two or three
| national highways.
At the last meeting of the legls-
lature proposed state bond issue
for improving the States hlsh-
WAYS was defeated. In that de-
feat the friends of good roads
were given concrete evidence Of
the attitude of politicians towards
the movement. To prevent re
netition of such an action, a prell'
minary state, wide campaign anc
organization in support of such al
tissue, must be made by those In
terested in good roads The peo
pIe of the state undoubtedly vii
approve any proper sort of a con
stitutional amendment looking t
he financing of comprehensive
good roads system.
But we should not wait unit
the meeting of the legislature t.
whip the project into shape. In
substantional influences in rura
! and city districts should beglI
work on the proposition now, Il
order to insure there will be n
delay, hitch or disappointment
after the legislature meets.
With her flood problems take
care of and system of improved
highways guaranteed by legislatlv
action and constitutional amend
ment, Louisiana would be adVer
tised to the world as the most de
sirable section of the Unlte'
States for investment and settle
ment.-Item

Farming Is The Best.

William Jennings Bryan gives
eight good reasons why young
men should choose farming in
preference to the ether occuDa
tions and professions. Here they
are: Cd Farming is the most in
dependent way of living; % less
capital is required to start farming
than to enter anv other independ-
ent business: (3) all members of
the family can participate in some
way in the work of the farm; (4
farm life is healthful; 90 farming
develops useful habits of industry
and application; (6) the farm pro-
vides the most wholesome environ
ment for growing children; %
farm life teaches the true philos-
ophy that labor is honorable and
worthy of reward; (8) the farmer
is the most independent factor in

An era of road building has set
in in this country. All over the
land there is a demand tor better
roads and the various states will
out I'D their respective amounts
and secure the federal 'appropria-
tion. And the beauty of it all is
that this appropriation bv the fed
eral government. is only the be
ginning. Other appropriations
will come along. We are going
70 have geod roads IN this coun-
try: nothing on earth can now stop
the building of them. Their econ
omy has been demonstrated, and
chat is all that is necessary. We
have labored through the sands
and mud for a great length OF
time. We have spent our money
foolishly upon poorly constructed
driveways We have lost our
millions by not having better
roads. But the end of such waste
is at hand; we are entering upon
a better era in road building, and
the federal government will take
more note of the roads in the flu
ture than it has ever taken in the
past.

LOCAL CITIZEN
. INVENTOR Of
PUMP DEVICE
Which Promises to Prove Very
Useful and Have a Very
Ready Sale.

January 4, 1916, Jesse Neiswanger,
of this city, was allowed valuable
claims in a United States letters patent
covering important improvements in
direct acting force pump especially
adapted for forcing water under high
pressure into steam boilers.
Mr.. Neiswanger has had consider
able experience with pumps of this
character and has observed that the
best pumps Of this character were
very inefficient and when subjected to
the usual hard service it was with
great difficulty that the joints could
be kept packed thereby preventing
leakage also the valves and seats
when become defective were very diff
cut to remove and replace. In Mr.
Neiswanger's pump these objection
able features are entirely removed.
The different parts of his improved
pump are bound together very secure
by means of two binding bolts only
and constructed so that 1t Is impos-
sible for the packing in the few joints
to blow out or the joints to leak. When
the binding bolts are released all the
parts fthe pump are released and
can be removed without any difficulty
whatever and duplicate parts replaced
in a very few minutes time. While
this improved pump is designed for
general use 1t is especially applicable
to oil and gas developing engines
Several parties in Clarksburg are be-
coming interested in the palcing Of
this improved pump OBJ the market.

only placed three on his wagon when
he was forced to leave with big load
Of lumber from the mill to Frostburg.
In making the trip he traversed three
kinds of roads, the unprepared and
untraveled ground road in the woods.
the graded earth road and the solid
surface of the national pike. The
load, including the wagon, weighed
over four tons.
The only difficulty Mr.. Carey en-
countered on the trip happened while
he was driving over the untraveled
road in the woods. The wide wheels,
he said, rolled along scarcely leaving
trace in the ground, but the old
narrow tire that he had left on cut
in the soft places and at several
points nearly stalled the team. He
now claims, after several years Of ex-
perience that the wide tire Is far SUI
perlor to the narrow on every kind of
surface and in every kind Of service.
He also says that in descending hills,
the rubber blocks last longer and that
less effort is required by the driver
in holding the load with the brake.
Wide wheels are slightly heavier, but
this is more than Offset by the fact
that they do not drop into every rut
and inequality of the road. Mr.. Car
ey says that If wide tires were used
exclusively the cost Of maintaining
the county roads would be enormous
" reduced and that the roads would
be in far better shape the year around
than they are now.

long and honorable service, by col
legiate education, by natural bent
and temperament, by broadened ex-
perience and by many and important
tests In the public service, to enter
the Senate. challege recognition and
be accorded 1t. There Is no lkeli-
hood Of him being relegated or ostra-
clsed. Albert B. White would belong
and | wish you would print that
word belong in capital letters, tc
emphasize what I am trying to con-
vey. Governor White has arrived a.
that stage Of his powers, mental and
bodily, which would make him po-
tential personal force in the greatest
lawmaking body In the world, and
would shed lustre and fame upon his
state.
Wood county Republicans will give
Governor White rouslng and over
whelming majority in the primary. l
haven't any doubt in my own mind.
but that Governor White will be
called on TO head the ticket in the
state this year"
