MADISON'S NEEDS
BETTER ROADS. THOROUGH IN.
DERSTANDING, MORE ROOM
FOR SCHOOLS AND PUSH.

Get the things which augur for a
better home city, was the expressive
keynote at the annual smoker and
open house last night of the Madison
Commercial club. While leaving no
doubt that Madison's citizens are en-
terprising and loyal, the get togeth-
er" meeting brought forcibly home to
those who attended that in the capt
tai of Lake county there are men who
could hold their own with those of
just about any other locality, in the
matter OF giving lucid expression to
deep thinking, Incidentally. the Off
GERS and members of the Commercial
club were voted genuine hosts.
Needs Of Madison and the Com
mercial Club" was the subject of a
discussion by Geo. II. Farmer, the
first speaker introduced by f. l..
Mease, the president. Mr.. Farmer
gave as the clubs greatest need the
united support of the citizens, and he
declared that such patronage IS due
the organization. He told he had
heard a man say he would not con
tinue his membership in the club for
AAit IfdSDA IudA II IL llAdOt up vi a
lot of old has beens."
1T is true" said Mr.. Farmer,
that many of us have crossed the
line which separates youth from old
ge. but may say that many of the
men one meets here from day to day
have spent the best part of their lives
in the district. and have helped to
make progress in the city, county and
state"
Mr.. Farmer emphasized the clubs
value socially. He said that it is at
the club rooms the men of the city
may meet to more firmly cement the
bonds of friendship, and that if it
were not for the presence of hat in
stitution, numbers of business men
would engage in conversation with
one another only when business made
necessary an exchange of views or
when passing on the street.
Touching on the city's require
ments, Mr.. Farmer gave as his opin-
ion hat as this section is strictly an
agricultural. stock raising and dairy
ing one. more attention should be
paid TO those industries. He advised
the business men TO seek a better
understanding with the farmers. and
pointed out that the help Of n is
necessary 10 the other.
One OF the lasting benefits which
is expected TO result from the farm
ers' short course here next month, is
the foundation for a permanent farm
ers' club, it was told by Mr.. Farmer.
He said that all encouragement pos
sible should be lent to the city's edu-
c%ational institutions. Between $40
+ 900 and $4,000 a year al the esti-
mate he placed On the amount of
money spent here by students from
abroad. The speaker declared that
despite rumor to the contrary. the
management of the city schools and
the faculty OF the Normal school
work in perfect harmony. Mr.. Farm

Push Is Needed.

Madison now has arrived at a crit
zeal ju%ncture, and to a large extent IT
is left to members of the Commercial
club to say whether this municipality
shall remain in the oyergrown village
class or take her place among the
cities of the state, was the declara-
ton of II. II. Holdridge, chairman OF
the clubs good roads committee.
IF not followed up with concerted
action, resolutions will never get Us
any place" said the speaker. We
can do with fewer resolutions. but if
we are going to put Madison on the
map, we must be active
With regard TO public highways,
Mr.. Holdridge told that the rural
roads here are so much inferior 10
those of neighboring counties. that
one riding over them can define the
difference with his eyes closed. He
pointed out that with the ever grow
ing increase in travel, it is impossible
for a community which has not good
roads TO realize its full share OF ad-
vancement and success.
1t is proposed. Mr.. Holdridge

possible the road between the city
and Lake Madison, where each year
is held the ~chautauqua, and where
during the summer months hundreds
of transients seek recreation. The
speaker said it is planned TO gravel

tauqua grounds. He thought that il
the citizens here would bear a third
of the cost of grayeling the road, the
county commissioners. more thar
likely, would contribute a third and
the supervisors of Lake View town
ship a third of the expense.
A good roads day, to be held some
time in June. was advocated by Mr.
Holdridge. On that day ii would bt
in order for all the men interested tt
get out and work on a given line o.
travel clear through the county. The
intention is to appoint a man to over
see an allotted mile of the road i'm
provement on that day. He though
