Suffered in Silence" "

During the war" says Mr. Box, "it
did not seem wise for the Y. NJ. {. a.
authorities to tell where the blame for
this unfortunate occurauce really was.
and it was compelled to suffer in silence.
Now there is no reason why the truth
should not be told and the Y. NJ. c. A.
eXonerated.
You never heard the government ac-
cused of selling gift cigarettes. All the
same it did just as the Y. NJ. c. A. did,
and here is how it happened:
"On October IA, 1918. w E. Stewart
acting divisional secretary of the Y M.
C. A, purchased Piedmont cigarettes
10 from the United States Sd Divi-
sion sales commissary. The cigarettes
were placed on sale at the various can
teens, and when they were opened by
the soldiers it was found that each
carton contained a postcard addressed
by some individual or firm in the states
indicating that the particular carton
was a gift for the person to whom
addressed and apparently intended for
free distribution. The cases containing
these cigarettes bore no marks to indi-
cate the nature of the contents. Mr..
Stewart reported the matter to the Sd
Division sales commissary and to the
Y NJ. {. a. In response to this re-
port Mr.. Stewart received the following
letter:

Results in other Agencies.

'Mr. Baruch once told me that his
War Industries Board functioned
about 60 per cent in efficiency. Mr..
Hoover said his bureau averaged
about the same. And they were both
satished---in fact, proud of these per-
centages. considering the size of the
Jobs and the abnormal conditions.
II believe the Y. NJ. c. A. did better.
/ believe thatit functioned about 20 per
cent In efficiency. and cannot imag-
inc how any organization with the
same titanic job and the same condi-
tions could have done better. Of
course, looking back, the Y sees its
mistakes, and given the job again it
naturally could do better. But that Is
true of everything.
I'VE are hearing now of these small
breakdowns and what are, after all,
really petty cricisms--petty, I mean
when the complete largeness of the
Y NJ. c. A. is taken in account. When
the entire work is seen there. will be
an entirely different story, and that
will be story of which the Anne riea n
people will be mighty proud"

GET BUSY and Do IT NOW

Next Tuesday the people of this
C ounty will again vote on the prop
osition to bond thecounty ia the sum
of 1912, 900 for good road purposes.
There has been plenty of time for
all to study the question in its diff
ferent forms, and all should have
their minds made up by this time.
7 he Democrat has listened to argu-
m ents on both sides, and we are
firmly of the opinion that if this
county is ever to enjoy good roads
now is the time to get busy. If we
figure rightly. good roads are com.
ing some time, in one way or anOth.
er. and we do not think we will
ever be again offered as much Fed
eral and State aid as at the present
time. This being the case. why
postpone the issue? Monroe Coun.
ty has always taken the lead in
progressive work of all kinds-why
refuse now on a proposition of such
vital importance to every resident
of the county? Had the proponents
of good roads gone to the polls and
voted when the question was first
before the people the proposition
would have carried by a. large
msjority at that time, Do not make
that mistake again, Take a few
minutes of your time next Tuesday
and cast your vote for progress and
advancement vote for the bond
issue.

who knows what good roads mean
and who is sincerely interested in
their construction to get behind the
federated roads organization and
bring to realization all the dreams
and hopes of a community which for
years has pinned these hopes on a
program that lacked unity and con-
certed efforts.

We have enough roads on paper;
let's put some on the ground"

MOVE FOR GOOD ROADS

1t is exhilarating to note in the
good roads movement something
that looks as though it had the
making of real action. For years
we have been dragging along in the
road movement. dealing 10 generali
ties, -spouting excellent theories and,
in general. talking much. but doing
little. Every organization has had
its little roads committee and every
committee has had its own pro
gram. with the inevitable result
that a conflict of action and a
division of interests have thwarted
consolidated efforts.
Maj. Harry B. Halves. on his re
turn from service. saw the futility
of this method Of procedure and
quickly set in motion the machinery
by which all the roads activities OF
the various civic and business or,
ganizations were to be consolidated
On September "a meeting of the
most prominent citizens of St
Louis commended the program o.
Maj. Halves, and, pledeing thei
m oral and financial aid. authorized
hi m to proceed to mske a Federal
ed Roads Council, q permanent anC
&C tive organization.
ThiS'is a way to get good roads
The movement should have the in
dor sement and material and mora
support of every citizen, of every
or ganization ano of every interest
1t is idle to talk further of the bene
fits to be derived from good roads
an d we will. therefore, lend strength
10 our convictions by refusing tt
spe ak on this subject. But we TAKE

This day. Tuesday, November IL,
1919, to the thoughtful will recall
the hours of delirious joy that
spread throughout Christendom just
one year ago, and paved the way
for the celebration of the 1918
Thanksgiving that a month before
appeared to hold out no joy to
America or the civilized world
On November II. almost a year
ago, these United States of America
broke forth in the hours long before
dawn into one wild, hilarious flame
of joy. that as it was carried on the
electric wings of the telephone and
the telegraph the glad news fresh
from the cables that span the At
lantic, across the continent to the
Pacific. and then by word of mouth
and by rural telephone routes until
every nook and Granny of this great
Nation had been reached. gathered

for many hours after the sun went
down on a country that was su-
premely happy.
Not in any metropolis. city. ham,
let, village or town in the United
States, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, nor from the Lakes to the
Gulf. was a dimes worth Of work
done on that memorable day. And
never for moment in the long
days and weeks and months that
have inteyvened has there ever
been a whimper because of the un-
precedented waste of human energy.
And there are a few of US who will
take different view now. For that
day, November II. marked the end
OF the greatest war that ever threat
ened to destroy the world A few
hours before the officially delegated
representatives of the new German
Government, that had succeeded
that monstrous machine manipu-
lated by Emperor William, had
signed the armistice terms, and
the German knee bent in submis-
sion before the Allies invincible
hosts.
In those days, nearly a year ago,
the fiendish purposes of the repudi-
ated Emperor. with his ruthless sub.
marine warfare; with his attacks
on unfortified English towns where
his baby-killers violated every
known usage of civilized warfare;
with his attacks on hospitals and
hospitals ships, and his boastings
of his psrtnerships-"Me and Gott"
were fresh in every mind. There
was relSou 49,. ihat tumult. There
was reason for that joy. 1t was not
confined to America alone, In
every land where Christianity pre-
vailed there was the same exurber-
ent outpouring
The waters of the ocean streams
have changed many times since.
And there is the same reason for
rejoicing now as then. And Ger
many. rejuvinated. relieved of the
dross of royalty aud imperialism
will derive almost as much joy on
November II this year as the peo-
Piles of other nations, for in the

gin to reestablish themselves and

He Was Converted

What it takes to make a man
change his mind about the nine
foot road proposition, E. C Hess,
south of Paris. found on an auto
mobile trip he and his family took
recently to Illinois and Indiana.
Mr.. Hess confesses that he voted
against the bond proposition at the
last election because he thought a
nine foot road wasn't big enough,
but after seeing the splendid roads
of Illinois and Indiana and all OF
them nine feet wide, he says. he
has decided the nine foot plea is
pretty flimsy argument against :'e
proposition. MIR. Hess is now sorry
he voted against the proposition at
the last election, but mighty glad
he will have another chance to put
in a vote for the roads.
Congressman William W. Ruckel
told Congress few days ago thai
great stride towards reducing the
high cost of living would be made
if the tax were removed from mar,
garine. Let the people decide, he
said, whether they will take mar.
garine or butter. He declared mar
earine to be healthful and palatablt
and the tax to have no other pur
pose nor effect than to cut out fail
competition with butter. Moderate
purses need relief, he said, and the
food is in every respect fit for table
use.

to put the mansion in good repair will
be spent. The roof is now leaking

sufficient to maintain the mansion.
Senator Conan OF Spokane, head of

Governor Lister this week said he
was totally Indifferent in the matter,
but that if the legislature provides the
money he would again occupy the

not say when he expected to move,
but he let it be understood that he
would not delay after the legislature

The appropriation for the mansion
is expected to be hurried through the

The dinner marked the formal
opening OF campaign to be conduct

citizens throughout the nation will
be asked to participate. An effort Is
to be made, Mr.. Lane said, to obtain
from congress an adequate appropria-
ton for the campaign.
Asserting that the war had brought
home to America the Imperative need
for Americanization work, the secre-
tary said that "Americanization," as
1t was known in the past, had meant
only the boycott" but the time had
come when a new meaning should be
given to the word If the ideals OF
America were to be preserved.

by general letter just received from
