GOOD ROADS
MEETING.
Brought Large Crowd
To Court House Last
Monday.
MANY TALKS MADE.

II the splendid crowd and entbus-
iasm that filed the auditorium Of the
court house last Monday afternoon
is any criterion as 10 the way that the
bond issue will be carried on March
30th. il will be practically unanimous.
for not a dissenting voice was heard
at this meeting, called by W +.
Champ. our local chairman, in the in
terest Of good roads and the bond is
sue election set for the last Tuesday
in March.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman and short talk was
made by Judge Forest Stapp. who
earnestly urged that all support the
bond issue and felt that a grave mis-
take would be made. II we did not
take advantage Of the appropriation
which the government proposes to
give toward the building Of the pro-
jected Federal Highway. lie was
followed by J. T.. Robinson. b. r.
Hudson. II. V. Bastin and Rev. II. A.
Dawes Of our local speakers. all Of
whom brought out many good points
and gave undeniable reasons why
this road should be built and why the
bond issue should be carried by a
handsome majority.
Mr.. Woodson Lewis. Of Greens
burg and Mr.. J. l.. Duham. also OF
Greensburg. made enthusiastic talks.
urging the importance Of building
this road and Of supporting the bond
issue. Both Of these fine gentlemen
have given a year OF more Of their
time to this project as the road is TO
BE- run through their county and if
Garrard fails in carrying the bond is
sue. the road is hopelessly lost TO
them and their county. They are
elegant gentlemen. both Of them.
and made many warm friends while
IN our city and we are all indebted
TO them for the assistance and en-
couragement given US in this work.
The last speaker Of the day was Mr..
Rodman Wylie. Of Louisville. and
former Commissioner Of Public High
ways for the state Of Kentucky.
The people Of this county are be-
INK rapidly converted to good roads
and when the Federal Highway prop
osition is properly put before them.
they are no longer skeptical. but be-
come at once booster and are bring
ing in converts every day to the good
work. There is no economy in
building a cheap road. anymore than
there is in building a cheap house.
As one ardent enthusiast expressed
II. If you build a good house you
will not stop until you get a good
roof for Il the same applies to a good
road. Build good one while you
are at II and when completed. put a
good roof over IL to preserve II for
years to come" That's what is pro-
posed when this highway is built; an
ever lasting roof will be put over il
and the only work needed later will
be to see that IL is well guttered, so
that the water may not injure its
foundation.

BRYAN
Gives Views On Party
Platform.
Elimination Of Governor Edwards
and All Soldier Candidates
Predicted.

Cleveland. ohio.-The Plain Deal
or Tuesday published an interview
with William Jennings Bryan. obtain
cd by It's staff correspondent at Miami
Florida. in which the former Demo-
cratic nominee for president named
the principal planks he hopes to see
incorporated in the Democratic ma
tional platform at San Francisco.
Mr.. Bryan says he does not at
tempt to dictate. but merely summar-
izes his beliefs and opinions as a re-
suit Of his studying the political
pulse. He places the more impor-
tant planks in the following order:
Endorsement Of the administration
Of President Wilson.
National prohibition.
Woman suffrage.
Opposition to enforced military
training.
Opposition TO profiteering.
Taxation.
Labor problems,
Public ownership.
Mr.. Bryan practically predicted the
elimination Of Governor Edwards Of
New Jersey and soldier candidates on
both sides for the Presidential nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Bryan declares he has no dis
position to suggest in advance planks
on which the Democratic convention
might be divided. but there are GER
tain planks which will be in the plat
form rs a matter Of course. These |
am willing to mention"
There will be a plank endorsing
the Presidents administration" Mr..
Bryan sand. mot that every member
Of the party endorses everything the
administration has done; not that n
majority Of the convention will en-
dorse everything that has been done.
but il has been n great administra-
tion and the Democrats Of the nation
would not think Of entering the cam
paign on a repudiation or upon a
platform silent on that subject.
"The platform will contain a plank
in favor Of prohibition as the perman-
ent policy Of the country and our
candidate will be pledged to the strict
enforcement Of the law in letter and
spirit. Every state controlled by the
Democrats has ratified the national
prohibition amendment. II is incon-
ceivable that the Democratic party
should defy the conscience Of the ma
tion on this subject after having con-
tributed so largely to the prohibition
victory.
There being three states recorded
in opposition to national prohibition,
probably shall expect that our candi
date for president shall be selected
from New Jersey and our candidate
for Viee-president from Connecticut
or Rhode Island in case our conven-
tion goes wet But we would not be
sure Of carrying those three states
because conscience may break out
there before election.
"The platform will strongly declare
for woman suffrage. and the conven-
tion may be expected to propose ef-
fective remedies, national, state and
local, for profteering and his old
brother-the trust"

Before the impromptu tea was

tightening discoveries. First, Mr..
Reeves was a Yale man, the same
class as her brother. Tom. This in it
self would have warranted her in
accepting almost any favor at his
hands The time slipped away while
he told Of Toms initiation into their
fraternity. and then she found her
self reading 10 him Toms last letter
from France. where he had joined
the aviation corps.
"Of course, you understand" he
told her, when they had finished tea.

Dick left the window seat.
