In rural districts as far as social ana
commercial conditions are concerned.
Poor roads seem to be his heritage. his
master.
A country's stability is measured by
its agricultural Importance. as the
well being of a nation is like tree
agriculture is its root; industry and
commerce are its branches and its life.
If the root be injured the leaves fall,
the branches break away and the tree
dies Community pride begins where
agriculture leaves off. and both are
equal and inseparabe in their impOr-
tance to a healthy, happy, successful
existence for man.
Blue Grass Roads Are Best.
1t is a pleasure to drive through the
blue grass district of Kentucky, where
they have what they call macadam-
lied turnpikes. These roads are the
equal of any paved city street and
of course are passable at all seasons
of the year. They cost approximately
{ $1,000 per mile. The highways in Ken
lucky are from thirty to sixty feet in
width. 1t is estimated that were the
highways of Illinois regulated to fifty
feet $25OOO,O0O could be added to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
That alone would build more than 5000
miles of road.
Spend $15o,oooooo.
This country today has about 2,2j0,-
600 miles Of public highway, on which
it is estimated that the people Of the
country are spending S150,000O0O an
nually. Statistics say we also spend
50. .OOO,OO0,OOO for alcohol, $4,000 100000
for tobacco. and it is said that the
ladies spend $3G5.0O0,OO0 yearly for
candy. II all this money could be ap-
propriated for road building we could
have a turnpike to the moon.
The principal cause Of the Roman
empires downfall was its neglect of
agriculture-the exodus Of its men and
women from the farm to the city, the
life there to be spent in eXtravagant
and riOtOus living Go to any of our
cities today and view the extravagant
dress aud general trend Of life for
pleasure and you will feel that the old
Roman times are being repeated
Ii would seem that the remedy lies
in building good roads, narrow If ad-
visable, but firm and hard. and have
them all lead to your trading center
and to the doors OF your local mer-
chants. Then on gloomy. rainy days
you can do your marketing, and then
back TO the farm" without sacrifice to
self or injury TO beast.
Nothing tends to make man a good
citizen so much as cooperation with
his fellows. No man can live for him
self alone SelfiShness leads nowhere
but 10 destruction. strife, bad feeling
and disorder. II is one of the mean
est of all the vices
The farmer and the town consumer
who patroniZe the retail catalogue
houses also assist materially in the de-
strucfiOn of the local market and trad,
ing center. This practice of sending
lOcaI money 10 out Of town merchants
is a dangerous habit.

in letter to the Governor. and has
elaborated on what he calls tho un-
fairness of the criticism. in letters to
various Southern newspapers.
Several weeks ago the author sent
tn" Governor "a copy OF his book with Il
courteous request for his opinion OF IL.
The central theme Of the novel is the
lynching OF negro for "A crime com

southern white man who stands by and
sees the negro die for the crime OF
which he is himself guilty.
The Governor called MIR kauffman.s
attention To the fact that there has
been no lynching in Virginia in fifteen
years. and concluded h.i criticism Of
the book with this statements:
