sent some of them being visitors, and
Mr.. Albert L. Terstegge, represent
ing the Louisville Automobile Club,
said this was the first good roads
meeting he had ever attended where
so many women were present and so
interested in the road question.
Judge Newman Speaks First.
Judge Newman was the first to
speak in the interest of good roads,
and of the proposed Ohio River
Route. The Judge said he was not a
public speaker so he read his paper
His audience was highly amused
when he told them that Rip Van Win
kle had merely had nap in compar-
ison with the time that the counties
along the Ohio had been sleeping
over the matter of good roads. Judge
Newman said bad roads would drive
any man insane, and he himself had
almost lost his mind over bad roads
in Hancock.
He asked the question if the coun-
ties of Hancock, Breckenridge and
Meade could afford to have the Fed
eral highway. And he answered it
by saying that they could easily af-
ford it provided the Government did
not require too expensive road.
Judge Newman said that after the
highway was built you could take an
option on all the land along the route
and make the Bingham estate look
like a church collection.
The Judge said there was no argu-
ment about good roads; nothing SEN
sible could be said against them. And
he believed that when this meeting
was over and he had gone home, he
would be ready to sit down that same
night and write Rodman Wiley a
letter saying, Send the road, the
money is ready, and Hancock wants
good road at that!"
Following Judge Newman, was Mr.
Rodman Wiley, State Road Commits
sioner and the main speaker of the
afternoon. His address in detail is
given elsewhere in this issue of The
Breckenridge News.
County Judges Heard From.
After Mr. Wiley's splendid address,
Judge Newman then called on the
County Judges to hear their opinions
and views in regard to the Ohio Riv-
er Route.
He first called for Judge Farmer
from Henderson county, as it has
been proposed that the River Route
would start from that county. Judge
Farmer opened his remarks by saying
that Henderson county was ready and

WHY JEWS ARE IN CHARGE.

Every welfare agency in the world
stands ready to do all 1t can for the
relief of the starving millions of Jew
ish people in the Eastern Europe war
zones. But conditions in those Sec
lions are unusual. There the Jew is
treated as an outcast and less than
human and communication through
any but Jewish organizations is prac-
tically impossible. Kentucky is to

WHY AMERICA MUST GIVE.

America Is the only country which
has not been drained to the uttermost
by the war. BY reason Of that pros
perity America can afford to give lib
orally to the great non-sectarian drive
to raise s35,OOOOOO for the relief of
millions Of starving Jewish people In
Eastern Europe. Kentucky's quota Is
s2Os,OO0, to be raised during April
I'll.

GIVE UNTIL " FEELS COOP.

President Wilson said, "Give until
II hurts" Nathan Strnus, the great
Jewish phIlanthropist, says, "Give
urtil II feels good" and he evens up
his word by his deed, giving probably
more than any other American for
Jewish relief. Kentucky is to raise
S20S,000 during April I'll for tie re.
lief of millions of starving Jewish
people in the eastern war zones.

willing to do its part on the new high
way. "In fact" he said, I'VE. have al
ready built some good roads in our
community and we know their val
ue" Judge Farmer paid Mr.. Wiley
very high compliment by saying
that he was the best State Road Com
missioner in the United States.
Following Judge Farmer, was the
Henderson County Road Engineer,
Canning, who spoke of that county's
good roads, and of how much they
meant to any community.
Judge Wells Enthusiastic.
One OF the most enthusiastic speak
ers during the afternoon was Judge
Wells from Daviess county. He was
full to over-flowing with the good
roads spirit, and it was not hard to
see why Daviess county was expend-
ing so much on roads when its cou-
nty Judge had so large a portion of
the optimism and determination that
it takes to enthuse people to build
roads.
Judge Wells said Daviess was ready
now to meet any county road that
wanted to build highway, and he
highly favored the proposed Ohio
River Ruote. He said his county had
raised enough money to build roads
without State and Federal aid, and
they even had enough to help some
one else if necessary.
DR.. Harrison Speaks.
After Henderson and Daviess coun-
ties were heard from, next came Han
cock, DR.. J. H. Harrison of Halves
vile did the honors for his county,
and his first remarks were that he
felt it was a reflection upon the in
telligence of the people who were pre-
sent that they had not held this same
kind of meeting ten years ago.
DR.. Harrison related an experience
he had just recently in going to see
a patient who lived several miles out
in the country. The. doctor said he
had to go over the worst mud holes
imaginable, and when he charged his
patient $500 for the visit, the later
thought it was awful, But, said DR..
Harrison, when / got back to Haw-
esvi1le ] had to take my car to the
garage for repairs, which cost me SD
and a piece of the car had to be sent
to Detroit, Mich, where it still re.
mains now and ever shall be Mich
igander product of Kentucky
goose"
DR.. Harrison went on to say that
the best argument for good roads was
the one the farmer made who didn't
want good roads because it raised the
taxes on his property. In other words,
a good road will enhance the value of
any property no matter how poor the
land may be.
In conclusion, DR.. Harrison said
Hancock county, was coming with
three distinct knocks upon the doors
of Breckenridge, Meade and Hardin
counties, and all they wanted was to
hear the reply Come I'M"
Judge Payne Rather Doubtful.
