Our Public Highways.

There is one thing about which we
don't want to be misunderstood. We
have been preaching economy in pub
lie expenditures and every other rep
utable paper almost has been doing
the same thing Our government is
costing us per capita six times as
much as it did four years ago. The
State is also requiring a much larger
operating expense, Notwithstanding
the noise of tax reformers. So any
one with any business judgment at
all can see where we are going. We
hope the papers and magazines will
keep up this fight until the grafters
and spendthrifts have been wiped
from the face of the earth.
Grating should be eliminated en-
tirely and public expenditures should
be trimmed until there is not dol
lar spent that is not needed outright
to keep the public interests pro-
tected. But in the matter of public
highways we believe thoroly in ex-
tension rather than in reducing this
work. A dollar we'll spent on the
public highways will in short time
be worth hundreds or thousands of
dollars. 1t would indeed have been.
a public calamity if the Government
had been put to the extremity of buy
ing the railroads, but every dollar the
Government, the State and the coun-
ty invests economically and intelli-
gently in the public highways will
be an investment worth It's weight
in gold to the people of this country.
The development of the public high
ways will, as nothing else under
heaven can do, solve the railroad and
many other problems with which the
urban as well as the rural people are
confronted, and more than anything
else this means the reduction of the
high cost of living. We want it un-
derstood that we favor public support
of all the public highways to be de-
veloped in this county. We believe
the county court is doing right in
adopting and appropriating funds
for these highways, specifically in
supporting the emphis-to-Bris
Highway, No. l.; the Jefferson Davis
Highway, No. 2, and the Meridian
Highway, No. 3. Let's go after every
one of them, and keep 1t up until
all of these and more good roads
in the county are built. Lay on
MacDuff, and damned be he who
cries hold, enough"

Patriotic Meeting.

The Memphis News-Scimitar has a
very appropriate and conclusive crit
icism for the movement incorporated
in a call for a peace-time patriotic
meeting.
Some political propagandists prob
ably have promoted this call, en-
bracing such terms as Revival of
the love of God and country"
The Scimitar says:
patriotism is an audible and evil
dent thing only in the stress of emer-
gency and in the hours of national
crises. In time of peace it is laid
aside, but not abandoned. 1t is
cherished, but not displayed. 1t is
not worn upon the sleeve. 1t is
treasured with the vital, and the
things that count in life.
ut is not profitable occupation,
Just at this time, to wave the flag.

DO YOU KNOW

That little Delaware has the honor
of being the first of the original thir-
ten States, in that it was the first Of
ficially to adopt the Constitution of
the United States; also that its first
settlers were Swedes?
That the land comprised in the
State of Pennsylvania was granted
William Penn in lieu of debt owed
PENIS father by Charles H. and that
he figures represented about $500
per square mile for the entire State?
That Lord Baltimore contracted to
pay for what is now Maryland two
Indian arrows per year and one-fifth
of the precious metals mined, and
that no gold or silver being produced,
he actually obtained the territory
for the arrows?
That to New Hampshire falls the
honor of having cast the decisive
vote which definitely formed the
United States?
That communistic government
similar to that which many radicals
are advocating at the present time,
was formed by the early settlers of
Virginia and that it proved a disas-
trous failure?
That Verrazano, an Italian navi-
gator, sailed into New York bay in
1924, S. years before Henry Hudson,
to whom popular credit for the dis
covery is given? That Manhattan
Island, which is now New York City,
was purchased from the Indians for
$24 worth of beads and ribbons?
That the settlement of Georgia
originally was conceived as a buffer
against the invasion of Spanish and
Indians into South Carolina?
That Lord Baltimore ruled over
the colony of Maryland to all intents
and purposes an Independent sove-
reign; that the rule extended to his
son and that this hereditary mon
archy continued in force for nearly
$50 years, until the Declaration of
independence brought it to an end?
That no one can say positively
which of the two States North Dako-
ia and South Dakota was admitted
to the Union first; because the ri
valry for the honor between the two
being so great, the papers purposely
were shufsed both before and after
the Presidents signature, so that
neither he nor anyone concerned
knew which was signed first?
