year round. We have been living
working when it didn't rain, now
lets use the rainy days. People in
other counties that have Roads are
not hallooing. You try and swap
farms with some other fellow in
county that has good roads and
see if he will take your farm on
mud hole for his nice home on
convenient all the year round road.
No, he is satisfied and will not do
without his good road. You hal
loo like this money is forever lost.
It's spent right under your nose
and if you are not too lazy you
can make more money while the
road is being built than it will
ever cost you. The reason some
people kict is because somebody
else said Halloo." but there is
nothing hollow but your head af-
ter all.

l have been in business all ml
life, have been paying taxes foi
fifteen years. This year bott
stores paid about $4,000 tax Oh
about $62. so per month tax. Meth

mingo county that are loaning
money at 10 to 20 per cent. per
annum and more if you will stand
it, taking notes, mortgages, and
tying things up to suit their heads.
These men claim that the mer-
chants will add more cost to their
goods that they sell, if taxes are
higher. Well, that's not the way
the merchants do, but its the way
these money lenders would do, for
they live on the part they charge,
for they have certain amount of
money to loan to live on and if
they eat big meal or take trip
on the train you had better whit
until they forget it before you ap-
ply for loan or they may charge
you for it.
Now these men that are SO op-
posed to Good Roads. You look
them over and see if they are no,
either loaning money for a living
or holding a county Office and
think by opposing the Road they
will be more popular, or they own
lot of land they inherited and
have not been able to sell it at a
big price and don't want to be out
anything until they hook some
fellow up and sell out.
Now there is another class of
knockers. They are men that
don't own any land at all but are
opposed to Good Roads or Good
Churches and Schools, because
when they were boys their faith

The Need Of Preparedness.

| Everyday we see the folly @
this nation being unable to con
| troll and bring into action its owr
great strength. We have bee,
busy and are busy, gathering il
dollars, busy preaching peace a
any price. busy proclaiming our
selves the most righteous o
nations, that every liberty we now
have was bought by our father,
with pain and blood. Whatever
is won, even that way, should in
danger be defended in the same
way.
If the United States years age
had realized danger was immi.
nent and had prepared itself ac-
cordingly we would now be sure of
a lasting peace. If four years
ago, We had inaugurated policy
of universal military service, we
would not be drifting unprepared
into a coming con flict. For a
conflict is coming, no doubt about
that. Germany's unrestricted
submarine war does not place re-
strictions on any nation. If in
1914, we had begun TO prepare for
war. within two, and a half years
we could have had at least 2,o00,-
900 men in condition to do Just
what the German first reserves
did the day after the German call
TO arms. Two million trained
men with the resources and re-
serves we had would have been a
force that any nation would not
go idly against. We would not
have needed any protection for
tae famous Monroe Doctrine be-
c use it would not have been VIC
lated, there would have been no
border raids, no American citizens
eilled on Mexlpasa soil or else
where. And now while the dogs
of war and conquest are bowling
at our door some of our senator's
are gossipping. about something
Of no Importance. II we are IL
tending and ever expect to defend
our rights on the high seas, we
should awaken to the fact and |
stand united with the President in |
every undertaking for the protec-
ton of our lives and property. |
How much longer are we going
to let our true aims and highest
ambit ons be flouted? Ask your
$ yes this question, if we stand |
Tor true democracy we should take
some active view. where is the
trouble? Has our government
been so blindly duped by the
reed of capitalism, so as not to
observe these facts? If we ever
intend to defend our rights, now
is the time to make preparations.
