The Election.

As will be seen by reference to
the table of election returns of the
county. printed in this paper. the
vote was close between various can
didates. 1t is believed that an Off
cial canvass of all votes of all the
precincts will be necessary to deter
mine the winner for sheriff, if in
deed. the count does not result in a
tie vote, which will necessitate an
other election to decide the contest.
Candidates who were not winners
in the contests, are wearing the
smile OF disappointment, but there
is sunshine in their hearts for the
coming day four years hence when
some OF them hope, through the
virtue of perseverance, to reach the
goal of their aspirations. The po-
litical battle has been fought. and
all good citizens will acquiesce in
the results, and cooperate with the
officials elect in promoting the well
fare of all the people, so far as it
can be done in the discharge of the
public function.

Our Development

The Mississippi valley is the most
fertile in the world, and the system
of natural waterways which it con
tains is unique. If it had been 9th
erwise we would probably have de-
veloped the valleys natural advan-
tages more completely. We would
h ave felt the need of snpplementing
nat ure's generosity by constructing
ma vigable canals and providing
arti fetal irrigation. It is only when
men feel handicapped that they
make the most of what they have.
BY using their rivers and connect
ing them with waterways 100000.
600 Chinese have managed to do
without railroads. BY canal systems
the Europeans have made the very
most of the Rhine, Danube, Rhone
and Loire. We were more blessed
by nature than they, and for that
very reason we did not feel so great
an impulse to enhance by our own
efforts the sffluence of opportunity
and resource which we found wait.
ing for us
This is not a plea to the citizens
of Monroe to light lanterns and
prowl about with microscopes
looking for a chance to change oil
enlarge something in this locality
But it is a fact that the very opU-
lence of stupendous natural re-
source often acts as a soporific
rather than as tonic. And at thi:
time. when work for disbandeC
armies is vital not only to our pros
perity, but to the stability of civic
institutions. we have less excuse
than ever for permitting anywhere
a rock to remain a rock, if it can b.
