PREPARING FOR STATE FAIR

Judge E. E. Swink will leave shortly
after Aug. 1st for Sedalia, where he
will remain during the Twentieth
Annual Missouri State Fair, August
IA to q. Mr.. Swink represents the
Thirteenth Congressional District on
the Missouri State Fair Board, and is
past president of that organization.
Because of his experience on the
board and in the management of form
or races, Mr.. Swink will have complete
charge of the racing program again
during Fair Week this year. Four af-
ternoons will be occupied with horse
races, the prizes totaling $1O,550. On
Monday of the Fair Week, automobile
races for purses Of $500 will sup
ply the speed program.
Mr.. Swink will also be the director
in charge of the police department
during the Fair. Approximately sew
enty-fve policemen, guards, patrol,
men and traffic officers are employed
to insure safety during the exposition
week.

and grasp of the important questions,
domestic and foreign, with which the
Senate has to do, as any man that
might be named. When young man,
because of his fathers financial re-
verses, he sought employment in the
factories of st. Louis or wherever ne
could secure employment, and earned
the means to finish his education and
take him through the literary and
law courses of Princeton, where ne
graduated with honors. This is men
toned only to show the metal and re-
source of the man which have made
him what he is.
Mr.. Long is cultured and refined
gentleman of pleasing and approach
able personality, lawyer of recog-
nized ability and success, and man
with a broad and comprehensive grasp
of national and international ques-
tions, with which he familiarized nim-
self as Third Assistant Secretary of
State during the world war and since
in handling important diplomatic
questions In short, he would
strengthen instead of weaken the
Democratic ticket in the general
election. -a

Back Among
His Old Friends

John X. Lowrance, of Grandfield,
Oklahoma, arrived the last of the
week for visit with his brother-in-
law, Giles Hunt, and other relatives
and many old rfiends. He left yes
terday for FreBericktown to attend
an NJ picnic, which will be
held there tomorrow, and which for
many years has been an annual af-
fair. He will then return here for
perhaps months visit. He spent
many years in this community, where
he still numbers among his old and
good friends most of our leading cit
izens. For several years past he has
spent the winters in Corpus Cristi,
Texas, which he thinks has been the
principal agency in the building up of
his health, which was previously very
poor.
He is hale and hearty, and though
he is now II years old, age appears to
rest very lightly upon him, and he
has well-matured plans for much use
fulness yet, when he comes into pos
session of a million or more addition
al money, which he expects from his
land holdings about Greenfield, which
is near the already developed oil field.
His plans have principally to do with
relief of the suffering of the world.
May millions be multiplied to him, is
the wish of The Times.

Against Initiative
and Referendum

Geo. M. Rains, who returned only
last week from a prolonged absence
in Washington, d. c., where he was
busily employed during his entire
stay, was not permitted to rest on his
return home, but went Immediately to
work passing a petition asking for a
new Constitution for the State of Mis-
souri,, This is just what everybody
has long been praying for, and George
quickly "fell for it,, thinking that he
could thereby add helping hand in
assisting the State of which he is
proud in casting aside that hide-bound
garment which has now become well
nigh insufferable,
1t is not difficult to at least i'm
agine his great surprise, therefore,
when citizen after citizen turned him
down" when they were approached on
matter which should have been of
vital Importance to them. He says
some whom he though of sufficient
intelligence to understand the great
Importance of new Constitution for
Missouri, abruptly refused to sign,
and sometimes would not even listen
to him explain the nature of the doc
ument he was passing. This all serv
ed to fill George with EXCEEDING dis
gust, and caused his to arrive at the
conclusion that the initiative and re-
ferendum are crude and impractical
documents, with which the people re-
fuse to act.
Some of those who turned him
down cold" perhaps even in a more or
Tess insulting manner, have since ten
dered something in the nature of an
apology, saying that they did not
know what sort of a petition he wish
ed them to sign. Had they known
what it was they would have gladly
signed it. But George thinks it is
rather late for such actions, after the
Cease has been closed" so far as he
is concerned, as he has turned in his
lists to the proper authorities, and
declares that, so far as he is concern
ed, other methods will have to be
found for the expression of the will
of the people" by petitions promul-
gated by him..

Two Autos De-
stroyed by Fire

While driving John Neidert's car
Tuesday evening below Libertyville,
Frank Hawkins, who works in the
Neidort Undertaking establishment,
lost control of the car, which plunged
into a ditch about six feet deep. The
crash caused the gasoline to ignite,
and the car was soon destroyed by
flames. The car was d Chalmers, of
1917 model, and while there was some
insurance, the loss falls heavily on
Mr.. Neidert, This is the second car
he has had burned within the past
eighteen months, both of which were
being driven by Young Hawkins.
With young Hawkins at the time
of the accident was Nick Rausch, of
this city, who was considerably bruised
in the miX-up. Hawkins went through
without a scratch. Another car, a
Chevrolet, was burned a short dis
tance out on the Flat River road the
last of the week. The Times failed
to get the name of the owner. This
car was without insurance.

In Regard to Building
5 Hard Surface Roads

throughout St. Francois county, then
the hard surface project between
Pennington, Bonne Terre, Leadwood
and other lead belt towns should be
started-and not before. Then, too,
there has already been some discus
sion as to the best method of pro-
ceeding with such road construction.
When the matter gets far enough
along, this will indeed be large
matter for settlement, an dit might
not now be too early for the opening
of such discussion.
Only about two methods of pro-
cedure with such work presents them
selves. One is to widen the present
roadway to permit Of travel along the
sides Of the roadway while it is being
rebuilt The other is to establish a
new route of travel while construction
work is in progress. This will neces-
state new right-of-way being Sc
cured, but it will doubtless be inf
nitely better to remove the heavy
traffic entirely away from the con-
Gtruction work. Such roadway would
have to be put in condition for trav-
cl, which would necessitate consid-
cradle expenditure, that appears to
many who are more or less converS-
ant with road building to be the most
equitable solution.
Another suggestion, however, has
been made that impresses The Times
as the best possible solution TO this
big problem. 1t is to lay out new
road, making it as direct as possible
and make of it the permanent hard
surface road. In this manner not on
" would there be no interruption of
| traffic over the old road, but the new
road would then receive all necessary
attention in its construction, from
start to finish, and from expert road
builders. 1t appears altogether prob
able that this would not only afford
the cheapest solution, but also the
best that could be made. The chances
also appear all in favor of securing
such n right-of-way with little or no
cost to the county, as such roadway
would serve to enhance the value OF
all property contiguous thereto. By
Strengthening out the unnecessary
curves that are in the present road
way, it would be possible to reduce
the distance somewhat. Then, too,
! the present road could be kept open
and repaired for travel the same as
at present, except that there would
then be two roads to practically the
same points, which would not be a
bad idea, in view of the unusually
heavy travel and traffic between such

PSALM / REVISED
RIGHT UP TO DATE

Here is keen paraphrase on Psalm
] that recently came into our hands.
tits worthy of perusal, read it:
Thrifty is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the moonshiner nor
standeth in the way of the bootleg
ger nor sitteth in the seat of the
"speak-easy", but his delight is in the
18th amendment and in the Volstead
law doth he mediate day and night.
He shall be like a soft-drink parlor
planted in the heart of a city that dis
penseth gin-fzz and soda in season,
its grape juice also shall not intoxi-
cate and whatsoever it selleth is not
fermented. The Incorporate are not
so, but are like the beer which the en-
forcement agent pours into the gut
ter. Therefore, the boozefghter
shall not buy in the open market, nor
the moderate drinker without pre-
scription, for the government knows
the way of the soft drinker, but the
way of the personal user shall become
drier.

Long Would Be
Stronger Candidate

AS the State campaign advances,
especially that part of 1T pertaining 10
the nomination of candidate Tor
United States Senator, thinking DEM
oerats in st. Louis as well as other
parts of the State are coming to the
conclusion that Breckenridge Long Is
the best and safest man for them 10
nominate to secure party success III
the general election. There IS rap
idly growing feeling that Chas. M.
Hay made a great mistake when ne
entered the contest to combat Judge
Priests candidacy on the wet issue
His candidacy only serves to DIVIDE
the dry vote and enhance the chances
of nomination of the man whom he
is most anxious to defeat. Under
the circumstances his NOMINATION. can
hardly be expected, and the drastic at
titude of these two champions OF dry
and wet, if either of them were nom
mated, in the opinion OF many
thoughtful Democrats, would spell de,
feat at the general election and send
a Republican to the Senate from MIS-
souri,. 81.
Mr.. Longs position on the prohibi-
tlOn question as well do e'li oiiS o''tHA
issues is in accord with public sentl-
ment generally. He is for the en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment and all the reform and construc-
tive reconstruction measures for which
the Democratic party stands, and
would make a stronger candidate on
the ticket than either Mr.. Hay or
Judge Priest. The decision of the
United States Supreme Court uphold
ing the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead enforcing act practically
eliminates the issue over which these
wet and dry champions are crap
ping, so those Democrats who differ
on the wet and dry issue but who are
Democrats first on general principles,
and who would rather see a we'll
balanced man like Mr.. Long nominat-
ed for Senator than one whose enthu-
siasm is swayed by single issue,
will support him in the primary. Many
of them had already committed them
selves to Mr.. Long before Judge
Priest decided to announce and after
Mr.. Hay had twice renounced his in

Plans are now on foot. and ar
rangements are already being at
tempted to be made, to form special
road district, composed principally of
the immensely rich lead belt Of St.
Francois county of a special road
district, for the connecting up of the
towns in that field-including the
county seat-with fine hard surface
roads. All of which will doubtless be
splendid when such arrangements
reach fruition.
However, there is another angle to
such proposition it might be well to
take a glance at before perfecting
such plan. What is to be done to-
ward improving the remainder of the
roads in the county, and who is to
pay for such improvement, after the
proposed special road district has
been created? After taking some
thing like eight-tenths of the wealth
in the county into this proposed spe-
cial road district, which would in
cIude comparatively small part of
the road mileage of the county, where
| is the money to come from to carry
on foad work in the vast area outside
Iof such special road district?
AS The Times understands the prop
losition, the, wealth in the special dis
trict could not be drawn on for road
work outside of such district. That
| being so, would the consummation of
such a plan be fair to other parts Of
the county, which roads are as impor-
| tant IN at least n few citizens as are
the roads through the lead belt are
to the many who travel on them. Are
not good roads as important to the
farming communities as they are to
the mining districts? There is no
doubt that any fair-minded individual
will admit that fact.
A truth that can be promptly veri-
fled by all good citizens is that good
roads are of even greater Importance
to farming communities than they are
| to mining communities. Permanent
good roads and farming goes hand in
hand. Both are perpetual. Did you
ever know or hear of mining dis
trict being perpetual? Certainly you
did not. Such Thing is impossible,
While it is right and proper that
there should be. fine roads all through
| the Lead Belt, it would not be right
nor proper to build better or more
permanent roads in that district than
is built throughout the farming dis
tricts of the county.
