The Constitutional Good Roads
Amendment, which will be voted up
on November 2, removes this restric-
ton and gives the legislature the
right to pass a law providing that a
limited amount Of state funds can be
used in the construction of perman-
ent roads.
The Amendment has nothing to do
with the issuance of bonds or as to
how. when, where, or at what cost
roads in Kansas are to be built. De
cision in these matters remain entire
~ with the benefit districts and
county commissioners in counties in
which the roads are improved The
amendment simply makes it posi-
BILE to make fairer distribution of
the cost in case a main highway is
permanently constructed.
Today the motor car is the princi'
pal user of our roads. Nebraska,

MoToRIsT WHO DELIGHTS
IN DESTROYING PROPERTY

1t is self evident fact that some
motor car owners around Liberal
have no regard for property any
more than they have for human life.
Saturday night an individual who
parked his car in front of the Demo-
crat office on East Second street
started homeward. He backed his
car from the center of the street
and hit one of the white-way light
poles shaking it but doing no damage.
Not content with this state of af-
fairs the motorist started up and
backed as hard as he could against
the pole knocking the top of the pole
off and breaking the globe to smither-
Gems and then drove off to the south
smiling. 1t was as deliberate a piece
of vandalism as has been pulled over
in this city for some time.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1920-10-07

the four states surrounding Kansas,
and practically every other state in
the union, is using at least part.
of the motor car license fee in the
construction of improved roads. This
cannot be done in Kansas until the
constitution is amended.
1t is impossible to conceive of any
valid objection to the amendment, as
the amendment simply gives our
state legislature certain powers con-
corning road Improvement which the
legislature of every other state in
the union possesses.
The amendment must be adopted
if Kansas is to have equal opportun-
tiles with other states in the con-
struction of good roads.
The failure of the amendment to-
pass would in all probability mean
that Kansas in a few years time
would be the only state in the union
left in the mud.

AMERICAN FREIGHTER MAKES
FIRST TRIP AROUND WORLD
CBy international News service)

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The
Pacific mail freighter West KassOn
has completed a trip which will
stand as an epic performance for the
United States new mercantile mar
inc.
Leaving San Francisco March IL,
the West Kasson upon its arrival
here completely encircled the globe
the first American steam freighter
to complete such voyage.
The arrival of the West Kasson re-
called to the old salts the perform
ance of Yankee ships and Yankee
sailors 90 years ago. when wind
TANNERS setting forth from old Salem
sailed round the Horn and up to the
Columbia, across the Pacific through
the Spice Islands and Calcutta,
around the Cape of Good Hope and
across the Atlantic home again.
The West Kasson on her memoir
able voyage touched at a score of
ports and carried more than 10000
tons of cargo, changing it several
times in the course of its voyage.
Honolulu, Yokahoma, Kobe, Ten
tsin, Shanghi, Hongkong, Manila,
Singapore, Calcutta, Suez, Port Said,
Marseilles, Barcelona, Balboa, Boston
New York and Baltimore were some
of the ports visited by the West Kas-
son.
The Suez and Panama canals facili-
tated the voyagle of the West Kasson
Improvements since the day of the
.globe-circling wind TANNERS.
The West Kasson's voyage com
pleted here was approximately 3d.
900 miles.
The success of the venture viii
probably result in establishment Of
round the world freight service under
the American flag.

BRoOMCoRN BUYERS ARE
OFFERING FROM $40 TO $12O

The local broomcorn buyers are
offering the farmers from $40 to
$120 a ton for broomcorn.
This is about as fatal to the
growth of the crop as anything that
could be done.
When the Southwest took to rails
ing broomcorn and this part of the
country was noted for its large acre
age and the good prices and farmers
raised it in preference to any other
crop. Then began the downfall.
The brush was too red, too much
stalk, until it was marked from the
list of profitable crops.
Then when the acreage was down
to almost nothing, better prices
were offered, and last spring, on the
expectation of reasonable prices,
many farmers planted.
The usual result is evident.
A reporter for the Daily Demo-
crat interviewed several farmers and
the condition of their brush and
prices offered. Here is one inter-
view, and it is about like them all:
eve planted rs acres of brush, I"
said one farmer, "from it we have
three tons of good looking brush, we
have been offered anywhere from
$40 to $3.50 for it. Figuring the cost
of labor we would not make but very
little even at 500 ton. We hired
several men to pull the brush, paid
them from IS to Sc a day and board
for several days. The cost of baling
is higher than other years. So you
see it's great loss until one gets
at least 5000 ton for it."

GOOD ROADS AMENDMENA NO 3
TO THE KANSAS CONSTITUTION

Every voter should give careful
consideration to the Constitutional
Good Roads Amendment, which is of
such vital Importance to the future
of the state of Kansas.
The constitution of the state of
Kansas prohibits the use of any state
funds in the improvement Of its
roads, this being the only state in
the union restricted in this matter
by its constitution.

If it is right that Uucle Sam
should aid the states in building
roads, why isn't it just as fair for
the state to- aid the counties? To do
this, the first step is to vote for the
Good Roads Amendment.

CITY PEOPLE "EAsY MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims on Beeear for
Whom Iusty Youth Was En-
gagged in "Barking"

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one of the oldest
professions of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation is
due to beggar who made his stand
opposite one of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge ap-
proach on Delaney street, the New
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance of this
beggar, an elderly. lohg-bearded man,
who sat huddled up in wheel chair.
Alongside was husky youth Of nine
teen or so, busily engaged in barking"
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought it good joke on
the alms-giving public, for there was
always smirk on his face. as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop coin in the beggar's lap. His
spiel was in Yiddish, which. roughly
translated into English, would be:

II You Need a Medicine

IT is that many products that are ex-
tensivey advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises OF the manufacturer This
applies more particularly tc medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, TO those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, n
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case il shows excellent re-
suits, many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact.
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney

COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
unsightIy apple" is Legacy Be-
queathed to His Posterity by
Old Father Adam.

We all 'have it in" for Adam for
shutting to our faces the gates of the
Garden of Eden. But many of us,
though we may not know it, bear a
particular resemblance to this com
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder. For it Is generally
conceded that an adams apple" is
no aid to beauty. And besides making
of our Paradise cold, bare world, IT
is Adam who inflicted upon us this ad-
ditionai burden. When our common
progenitor took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest of us to exist
ence by the sweat of our brows, a
piece of the fruit is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
in his children's children unto the nth
generation. And that is why the
slight proturberance that some people
have at the front of the throat is
called adams applet" Speaking of
ancestry. some of us carry about on
our persons unmistakable proof of our
ancient lineage.-Chicago journal.
