Gardner'S Road Plan.

Gov. Frederick D. Gardner has
said in bis foreword TO the state leg
islature that he favOrs bonding the
state for $5O000,000 to build roads
in every section of the state. While
the plan is not detailed it is presum-
ed Of course that should the bond
issue carry the money would be
divided\or appOrtioned out to the
counties on a valuation basis OF
some such basis and each county
would receive its proportion of the
money. This seems to be about the
best solution of the road problem
and the bonds could be paid off un.
der state tax levy and the aver
age taxpayer would never realize
the difference as he would never
notice the small amount added to
his tsxes for this purpose. We un.
derstsnd this plan is now being
tried out in Illinois end that il
meets with entire approval OF the
people. Under this plan the cities
of course would have to help pay
for the roads but they are entitled
to and we verify believe the large
msjority of them would vote for the
proposition.-SOuth Missouri Demo.

Theodore Roosevelt.

The sudden death of Theodore
Roosevelt marks the passing Of one
OF Americas great men. In fact,
but one other American-Wm j.
Bryan has so long been a national
figure of super prominence.
Abroad Col. Roosevelt was proba-
bly, better known that any other
American with the exception Of
President Wilson and Gen. Pershing.
His career was at all times spec.
ia cular. He loved the limelight
with an inordinate passion and this
was probably bis greatest fault.
His influence on American history
in political way was tremendous.
But strangely enough it was far
more negative than positive. In
other words, his peculiar methods
more often helped the opponents oi
his views than they did his supper.
ters.
During his administration as
President he always had a tremend.
,Ous party majority in both houses
but many of the reforms and policies
he advocated failed to become laws
He invariably incurred and court,

had to have absolute loyaly or he
failed.
In looking over his career aid
the many measures which he SO
vigorously advocated from time to
time. one cannot help but feel tina,
the best interest of the country was
served by the failure of many ol
them.
His violent temperament took in

Welcoming the Soldiers.

Every community feels a desire
to welcome back it's soldier boys
who have done the home town and
the country so proud. Here in
Monroe City we want to have a
rouser of celebration. But when
and where are we going to have it?
The boys are going to come
stringing home one or two at a
time. Those who went lest and
have been called on the least ser.
vice, will be back first. Meanwhile
those that have been up against the
real thing. may not get in for a
year or more. And by that time
the original enthusiasm may have
fallen off somewhat.
There is lot Of celebration spirit
that was not satisfied by the doings
after the armistice was signed
Many towns will have good many
different celebrations as different
groups come back There is much
to talk about aid cheer over. and
we can not expect to do it up in
any one job.
These celebrations should have
a definite object and we should all
see that sthat object is realized
Their primary purpose is to make
the soldiers realize that their sacri.
fee and service is appreciated and
that the home folks are profound
ly grateful, more than words car
tell. Many times the boys while
| suffering hardships must have won
dered if the people at home realiz
ed what they were going through
We must make them feel that W,
did, that we feel indebted to then
with an obligation We can never re
pay. that they have our admiration
our affection. our who'll hearts.
