II iS an absolute necessity that the
pitchers find Themselves, for they
have much labor ahead OF them.
The Yankees. the highest priced
club in the league, do not impress
one as flag contenders. Take Peck

major Lacquer in the outfield. The
pitching staff is strong, but handi-

Good Roads
by N. 0. Shanks)

The Question of roads should at
this time be upermost in the minds
of the people of Seward county and
the Southwest.
There is from time to time great
deal of "road talk" but it is mostly
kicks on the condition of the roads.
This will never get us anywhere un-
less the kick is coupled with the de-
sire and the effort to better condi-
tons.
The advantages of good roads
needs little consideration. Most
people, especially the farmers living
in the country, know the advantages
afforded by good roads, and when
once the country as a whole join in
the effort Seward county and the
Southwest can and will have roads
that will make travel a pleasure in
stead of task as at present
Seward county has spent great
sums during the past ten or twelve
years in improving the condition of
the roads, but the work, has been of
a temporary nature, and prevailing
conditions has prevented the work
done from being properly kept up,
and when a good road has been con-
structed lack of help at a critical
time has been responsible for its de-
terioration.
The peculiar conditions of soil in
this county county make road work
hard at best, but under proper con-
ditions good roads are not impossi-
Bile here.
What is needed in the first place
is a road engineer, whose business it
shall be to see that the roads are
properly graded, and then kept grad
ed. But this engineer must not be
made to depend upon the farmers to
do the work. When the ground is
wet enough to pillow the farmer must
necessarily be in his field, and when
it is too dry to farm is also to dry
to work the roads. In this connec-
ton we have come to the conclusion
that the horse drawn drag is the only
successful method in this country.
The road west of town bears us out
in this conclusion. The road, natur-
ally rough and full of chuck holes,
dries in spots. The great truck which
was supposed to pull the drag would
not run until the mud had partially
dried, and the high places were then
so dry the drag would not effect
them.
So it would seem that the only way
in which the roads could be success
fully worked is when they are too
wet for the truck, and the road prob
lem is no nearer solution than form
erly.
However this is a matter to be
settled by the road engineer, and
The Democrat is of the opinion that
until such a man is placed in charge
of our roads we will have no good
roads.
The county and township officials
to the roads, and no proposition can
none cannot devote their whole time
serving with no pay or practically
be successfully handled unless there
IS someone to give it their time and
thought
