The following essay took first prize
AZ the Lawrence County School Fair
held IN Louisa last fall II was writ
ten BY grandson Of Mr. NJ H Johns
q this place:
q I'D roads is question which the
. 9rIners of Eastern Kentucky has to
1ink about Every day they find
themselves up against this question
Why should we have good roads in
cur country One reason is it shows
a higher state OF progress II we find
community where they have good
roads We suppose that community to
be lively and thrifty II people are
very Industrious they viii work 10 get
good roads Another reason Is il would
give the farmer q better way TO sell
and buy products and also a cheaper
way. The money which the farmer
lOses each year by bad roads would, in
a few years, build fine roads Anoth-
er reason IS il would help keep the
!, essls an1 Toys on the farm by making
the surroundings more attractive
What boy OF girl would not rather
. have the paved streets rather than the
muddy and dusty roads like we have
IN oar county today2 Another reason
Is il tfll help our schools by having
better Attendance for on some roads.
even ii our county. the children can
not GET TO school because the roads
are so bad 1t would cause an i'm
provement in our school buildings be-
cause We do not want to build nice
school houses out in places where the,
roads are 50 bad thar hardly any one
can get 10 them
Now comes the question what kind
of roads shall we buIlds There are
several kinds of roads, but which will
suit our needs and which have We
money enough TO buiId2 think az
present well graded dirt road would
be best Then We can build the bet
Ter roads when ne have money e.
uouEh.
!. This part OF the state should have
good roads if other parts of il can
seem 10 get but little out OF it We
should have good roads even at
greater cost for il would save the far
mer money enough in few years to
pay for the building OF the road II
Hln not only do this but il viii give
The farmers more courage to have big
ger and better cAred-for crops
think that We boys and girls of
this county should enjoy-as good roads
as giIs and boys Of other counties
And We. the boys and girls of this

Use, who is O the high e on his re-
turn voyage to Ireland, Is a living proof
that a birth certificate may sometimes
prove an essential document in the

document as proof Of his contention
that he was born in Philadelphia and
that his parents took him TO Ireland

O'Brien might now be winning the
hearts of American music lovers as
did John Mccormack, the emulation Of
whose career led the lad to secrete
himself on an American-bound vessel
some three weeks ago.
Instead. immigration officials, who
have only cold, legal instructions to
guide them In making decisions, saw
ut to place him on an outgoing ship
and let him try to establish the essen
tials facts concerning his birth. after
his return. O'Brien, however, despaired
Of being able to prove much about his
origin, because hts father and mother
are both dead and he has no relatives
The young tenor's fame as a singer
probably would never havei started
to spread had it not been for "A slight
illness contracted on Ellis island;S caus-
Ing him to be placed in the hospital
for treatment. The nurses there be-
came enchanted with his singing, and

Platform Contest Wins
Praise of a ssThinker''
Tribune Thanked for Creating
New Interest of the People
in Our Democracy

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When the United States began
its career Of representative govern
ment it was fairly possible for men to
know the candidates for government
Office and to hear their views and
policies discussed directly. They could
also express their own ideas to the
man they put in office, consequently
their franchise and law-making re-
sponsibility was taken seriously.
Now, far separated from the political
machines, for any of many vague res
sons we settle firmly on some one
candidate for some notable Office and
consider little about what his election
really pronri ses--if, In fact, we know it
promises at all.
The Tribune Platform contest has
brought some Of us back to g. consid-
Grafton Of those party promises: re-
minded us there is "platfor,n"; sug-
gested that we should be responsible
Tor it in its making, and, having been
so, in its fulfillment.
The contest has brought Its con-
tributors and readers into active con-
seriousness Of real issues at stake for
themselves. And what can be more
vital now than awaking in Americans
the feeling of personal responsibility
for their democracy
If we continue TO leave our business
to the machine in New York or Albany,
in Chicago or San Francisco, our bust
ness and our democracy will fail
Thanks to The Tribune for reminding
some Of US that democracy's success is
ours to make-and enjoy! !. 3. r.
