Let US remind those who are con-
demning the highway commissioners
for any failure to get immediate
action on all the roads in the county
that one of the difficulties is funds.
If there were no end to county funds
for road improvement there would be
little difficulty in building roads.
And this ought to bring home to the
people the fact that there is a limit,
and that when hundreds of dollars
must be spent repairing the Oro6no
bridge there is just that much less to
spend on road improvement. So the
trouble goes back to the original
blunder of squandering Sl17o for need
less and worthless bridge plans, and
the failure to put the piers down to
bedrock in the first place. Roads
must suffer today to the extent that
the authorities must skimp on roads
to save and repair the Oro6ro bridge
which would need no funds had the
work been done honestly and compe-
tently in the first place.

FREE SPEECH AND TREASON.

Big Bend Empire: Two classes of
men with entirely different viewpoints
are in evidence in the congress, and
in the position of great prominence in
the government service. One set of
men declare in favor of open and free
discussion of all public questions
arising out of the war, and maintain
that free speech and liberty are the
same thing. Another class would
absolutely forbid any criticism of the
policy and plans of the government,
and would place the charge of treason
against any person who openly crit
icised the government, its executives
or the methods of either. Between
these two radical views there doubtless
exists a middle ground which will
make it entirely proper for anyone to
express their views upon public ques-
tions in temperate manner. Censor
ship, and the suppression of public
meetings and free speech, are harse
measure, but it is not probable that
American ideals in reference to these
problems will be overlooked, or
changed very much.

WHY CHANGE?

In the United States if the people
do not rule whose fault is it? Here
every man is a king, free to exercise
his will at the ballot box, electing
whom he pleases to serve as law
maker or chief executive. If the
people neglect to exercise these con-
stitutional rights and duties, whose
fault is it? II some sell their man.
hood and barter their citizenship for
mess of pottage, who is to blame?
If some think so lightly of these
blessings and privileges as to neglect
to exercise them who to blame :?
Lastly, what form of government can
do more than place government of,
for and by the people in the hands of
the people themselves? And what
would we gain by tearing down gov
eminent Of for and by the people.
which we now have, and substituting
the same kind of government in its
place?
If you set hungry man down to
table loaded with good things to eat
and drink and he refuses to eat and
nourish the inner man, but folds his
hands and starves, whose fault is it?
Let US, therefore, consider our gov
eminent seriously, and the rights We !,
its citizens, enjoy under it, and
think what il has cost in sacrifice and
treasure to give these blessings to
the world. Shame on the man guilty
Of ingratitude, and ignorant of these
things! Let US, instead trying 10
