This is mighty good time for every
body to get busy and improve our coun-
try roads. Winter will be coming along
and then we will be again lamenting
the fact that the roads are muddy, and
rough, ana gettlnS worse all OF the
time Of course they will be muddy
and rough, and will keep on getting
worse, unless we buck up ourselves and
get out and do something worth while.
We have never yet seen fellow who
was not willing to get out his hammer
and knock when the subject of country
roads is mentioned, but very few Of
them are willing to use shovel, or
spade, or a scraper. If we had more
do and less talk we would have good
roads everywhere and the family ham,
mer could be put to better use.

CONVERT TOWN JAIL
INTO LIGHTING PLANT

EATON, O., Dec. 5.-Because the
village lookup at Eldorado was SO
seldom used it has been converted
into quarters for a light plant.
This information Is contained in
the annual report Of the Board of
County Visitors. Mentioning the
condition of all the bastiles in
Preble county. the reports says no
comment could be made on the con-
dition Of the stronghold at Camden,
because the very day the board
visited that place the marshal there
had gone from the city and carried
the keys with him. The report
says this fact spoke well for the
village, for that particular day hap
pened to be election day.

Bryan to the Rescue
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The democratic party managers kept Mr..
Bryan out OF Maine, realizing that the spell OF
this name was not very potent in the Pine Tree
state. Results showed that they might as well
have used him. Things could not have gone much
worse for the democrats. But he is to be used
now. The character Of the censorship to be
placed on his speeches has not been announced.
But 1t is easy to speculate as to some OF the for
hidden themes He will not talk of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the heaven-born
ratio OF sixteen to one without waiting tor the
consent of any other nation He will not expa-
tiate on his guaranty Of bank deposits nostrum.
He will not likely raise his ancient DOGGY of
"militarism," which he used when the nation
contemplated increasing its army until there
would be one soldier for every 800 of the popula-
ton. He cannot even advance his doctrine of
limiting one corporation to a fixed percentage of
the entire business in that line for the president
now PROCESSES to have no objections to the mere
size of any business. He will doubtless be asked
not to repeat his recent statement that the new
tariff commission is designed only ito please a
certain element and afford an excuse for delay
in changing the Underwood rates" Naturally
he will not stress the single-term pledge of the
Baltimore platform, by which he set such store in
1912. He cannot, without qualification. defend
the army and navy appropriations but he will re-
frain from assailing them The only subjects he
can discuss with utmost freedom are the income
and corporation taxes and his so-called peace
treaties. The new revenue bill pleases him, espe-
cially in its exemption of the chautauquas from
the tax on places of amusement. He may throw
light on why his peace treaties did not provide
for modus vivendi during the years cooling
time" which might be continued into heating
time by continuing violations of our rights This
is about the only subject on which he could throw
light, for Mr.. Bryan is famed more as a noise
maker than as a lght-bearer But perhaps there
is small percentage of voters affected by noise
and the democrats need every vote they can get
to make any showing at all.

Full Inquiry Should Be Made.

A coroner's jury has returned verdict cen.
suring FIRE company for failing to rescue vic.
tim Of FIRE in home. The chief Of the fire de-
partment holly resents the charge that any OF
the men under his command would be guilty OF
such neglect Of duty. Omaha people will be loath
to believe that such cowardice could exist in the
FIRE department. Our frcmen have shown their
courage on many an occasion, have paid with
their lives for their devotion to duty, and have
always had the respect and confidence Of the peo-
pie, who rely on them for protection to homes
and property. For these reasons the department
should not rest quietly under the aspersion Of the
coroner's jury. The accused men are entitled to
full hearing and complete exoneration II
guiltless. The good name of the entire fire de-
partment demands that careful and complete
investigation be made, and without delay, that
the truth be determined.

Democratic Promise and Performance.

Mr.. Hughes began his second campaign tour
by drawing categorical comparison between the
promises OF the democratic party, made in its
Baltimore platform, and its actual achievements
during the three years it has been in full control
Of the government. The exhibition is necessarily
one Of total failure to redeem pledges solemnly
made to the voters. The presidents recent
speech OF acceptance, in which he laid claim on
behalf of himself and his associates to having
fulfilled every promise made, is sorrily exposed
because Of the extravaganza of its claims, all
summed up in the one declaration that every
promise the democrats made has been redeemed,
The indictment drawn by Mr.. Hughes is one
that will be understood by every voter. The
democratic party is before the country, seeking
to cover its record Of broken promises and un-
redeemed pledges by sweeping assertions and I'M
supported claims. Waste and extravaganza have
marked the course Of the administration, where
retrcnchment was promised; the merit system has
been betrayed by them and Offices have been
filled by deserving democrats regardless of fit
ness, the cost Of living has not been reduced;
rights Of American citizens have not been pro-
tected; the merchant marine has not been re-
habilitated; the tariff not efficiently reformed,
and so on down through the list.
The appeal OF the republican party, through
its candidate, is to the reason and not to the pas
sions of the people. 1t offers its history of
achievement as contrasted with the story Of fail
ure Of the democrats. A policy Of construction
in lieu of experiment, and stable government
instead of the shifting administration now COM
ing to an end. The choice is easy.

Shame Of "Watchful Waiting"

Our democratic friends are just now consid-
crably wrought up over the prospect Of emphasis
being laid on the effect OF the Wilson policy of
"watchful waiting" in dealing with Mexico.
Whether or not the elaborate movie so gen.
erously described by our amiable contemporary
is ever exhibited the fact remains that its salient
features are based on real occurrences. The
shame Of it is that the truth was known at Wash
ington, and was suppressed as far as possible by
the State department. OF course the president
had cognizance OF what was going ON in Mexico,
for he has to the reports made to the State
department.
Protests and petitions alike, giving details Of
unspeakable cutrages committed by the Mexican
outlaws who paraded as revolutionists, with the
sanction Of the president, were sent to Washing
ton, there to be pigeonholed and no effort ever
made to redress the wrongs put on American
citizens. II Is not needed to add the shocking
treatment OF Mexican women and children to the
list. Enough Of Americans suffered and were
denied relief More Americans have been slain
in Mexico during the period of "watchful wait
ing" than fell in battle during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. And the only time any government
interviewed to save them was when the German
and British took refugees from Tampico aboard
their ships in the harbor after our efficient Sec
rotary Of the navy had ordered the only American
warship available to proceed to Vera Cruz, vir-
tuaiy abandoning our citizens at Tampico to a
fate from which they were saved by European
sailors
Movies" are not needed to illuminate this
shameful chapter Of American history. The peo-
pie have the facts before them and will not likely
forget that this disgrace came upon us under a
democratic president
