The hard roads committee Of
the Unity club of Keokuk has
been asked to obtain the co-opera-
ton of the leading advocates Of
hard roads IN each township in
order to conduct a campaign Of
education among the people Of
Lee county in favor of adopting
at the coming election, on October
z, the plan whereby the county
may take Advantage Of the federal
aid for its primary road system.
Unless we wase an active cam
paign within the next fifteen
days, it appears likely that the
people, through lack of under
standing the road law, will defeat
the project, which must then lay
over for two years before another
election can be held.
We do not want to lose two
years. Good Progress can be
made in that time.
We are counting on your &C
tive support, and we would like
you to take charge Of your town
ship in this campaign. We are
planning school house meetings
and individual interviews with
farmers who cannot be reached
otherwise.
Kindly drop us line immedi
ately whether you will help. We
want to assist you all we can in
this work.

TMOSSIBLY conditions in Mexico are
w better than they have been repre-
u sented. A correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, in recent dis
patch from Mexico City, gives a better
account of the condition there, and Of
President Carranza's attitude, than might
have been expected.
Carranza formally disclaims all emnity
or prejudice against the United States, on
the part of himself or his people. He says
that Americans are treated cordially by
all representatives of his government and
that the population treats them no differ
emily from other foreigners. These state
ments seem corroborated by the CORES
pondent's own experience.
Carranza made frank bid for American
cooperation. "We need all possible help,'
he said, from everyone interested in fair
play and international friendship to help
solve our delicate problem. There is no
real reason that I know of for the two pco
pies not getting on together. The prob

Every section of Idaho should paste that

This is an era Of reconstruction, of build

stings itself to death in the hive of human

may never awaken.
There is especially lesson for us Boise
folks in the Twin Falls vote These OUT
side communities are doing things. The
competition is keen.
If Boise is to keep up with the pro-
cession it will be necessary to renew
our exertions. Boise has, it is true,
accomplished great deal. No people
at heart are more progressive, but
there might be disposition to rest on
our laurels. If we do we will not long
