noAD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

Editor of the News:
 noticed the article in yesterdays
 nor bv w. V. Tompkins, Esq, with roforence to federal aid for good roads = Nevada county. It is a timely mo- tice to our people to get ready to take savontage of the money that we can uot from outside sources. The for maton of an improvement district is snooested. Now, some people are so afraid of the improvement district that they get weak when the matter ;s suggested. There are objections to ;mnrovement districts; there are also affections to grocery bills. Too much ooro cannot be exercised in the use of nublic funds but an improvement dis trict is the only practicable way to do anything in this country like road building and let the people all have a share in it. Road improvement dis tricts have been agitated here before and so far none has been formed. In my opinion the reason they have not been formed is opposition to it right here in Prescott. There has been too many people here in Prescott who are afraid they would spend a dollar on road down across the county, and yet there are among us some very liberal donors in a small way, but when it comes to doing something really worth while they have nothing to do or say. The certainty of getting large sum of money from the govern ment to build permanent roads in Ne vada county is absolutely sufficient to move every enterprising citizen with determination to build some good roads in Nevada county. Let us get to work now and form an improve ment district covering the territory along the Iron Mountain Railroad and then a strip of ten or twelve miles wide through the center of the county. We cannot afford to be "slackers" or show indifference about so important a matter. It is time to lay aside all selfish objections and unite in an en- terprise that is really worth while even without any assistance from the government. And when there is a local improvement which by all means we should do for ourselves, we cannot refuse to do it when the government comes in with an offer to pay half the bill for us. In other words, is it not silly and ridiculous to think about not doing it? The fact that the govern ment will not permit this money to be applied in haphazard way is en- couragng and helps to inspire confi- dence that the work will have the proper safeguards.

PHYSICAL COURAGE

Every battle fought in Europe ere ates heroes. Some of them are recog- nized; the names of some will never be known.
 Every battle fought since the be- ginning of the world created a hero and the pages of history are filled with them. It is said that even the cowardly man on the battlefield is sustained with the excitement of the conflict, that he becomes passionate with the lust for blood and uncon- sciously feels himself to be a brave man.
 The brave man, to display courage, does not merely have to overlook danger. The real hero is not a man of the moment. He must see danger. He must see in this danger almost certain death and, with clear head and full appreciation or what confronts him, meet this danger.
 This is the real hero. There are heroes of the moment. This cannot be questioned. On the spur of the moment, without regard to what the outcome may be, some men plunge recklessly into danger. The act of heroism is the act of impulse.
 But did it ever occur to you that the worlds great heroes have not al- ways been found on the battlefield.
 The greatest hero the world has ever known, the greatest that the world will ever know, was the lowly Nazarene when He dragged the cross to the scene of His crucifxion. When Christ rode into Jerusalem He knew that He rode to His death. Yet the trial was faced with a heroism that has never been and never will be equalled.
 When the Lusitania went down heroes were made in a minute. Know ing that they had not chance in the world, they gave way that the weak might be cared for, and some of the greatest men of science and letters died with smiles on their faces and with the supreme thought that they had given up their lives that others might be saved.
 The biggest brute in the world can display physical courage. A prize fighter may enter the ring absolutely devoid of moral courage and make brave fight. The audience will declare that he is the possessor of wonderful courage and he becomes hero in the eyes of worshipping public.
 This is not the spirit of courage that counts. Heroes are easily made, ubt real moral courage is rare.-Com- mercial Appeal.
