ROAD PROGRESS

Minneapolis Journal: Fairbault and
Little Falls, bound together by a rib.
bon if concrete, a paved highway IT'S
miles long passing through h Twin
Cities, are about to celebrate the COM
p~letion Of the work with due ceremony.
These two lively cities do we'll to
hasten their celebration, for they will
not long remain the terminal Of the
pavement on the great highway that
the state. Another year will
see it pushed well toward the southern
boundary of Minnesota and on to the
northwest, and very soon the whole
segment Of the Jefferson highway that
runs through this state will be paved.
That it will carry a constantly in
creasing traffic, goes without saying.
The paved way attracts traffic as a
magnet attracts iron. Motorcar driv-
ers will go considerably out Of their
way to make a part of their trip on the
smooth pavement. Experience has
shown that to hard surface a road
is to concentrate traffic upon it.
The present achievement will slim
ulate other projects, and our mileage
of paved road is bound to grow stead
lily. Minneapolis was encouraged to
push the Lyndale road to the south
ward and to bridge the Minnesota
river, in order to give traffic on the
Jefferson highway direct access to this
city without the detour into st. Paul.
A short stretch between Lakeville and
Pennington remains to be built to
complete this admirable and direct
route, saving some ten miles Of travel.
The strong tendency, too. will be to
push the Lyndale road paving directly
south, in order to bring a large and
fertile territory into close Minneapolis
connection.
The road system In Minnesota is de-
veloping with almost magical rapidity
and efficiency. We are on the right
track in highway development.

Announcements
FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT

To the Voters of the Cordele Judicial
Circuit.
| announce as a candidate for the
Judgeship of the Superior Court in the
approaching primary 1t is known
that while judge I, in the term of my
oath, administered justice without re-
spect to person, and did equal rights
to the poor and the rich. That
protected peaceful citizens from the
habitual criminal and showed leniency
to the young and unfortunate, without
breaking the heart of faithful wives
and loving mothers. To this record
if Judge again, will add one more
thing-I will reduce the present ex-
penses of Court and thereby materially
lower taxes. Present hard times and
high taxes have cut off many from the
voters list. While for this reason they
cannot vote, yet, | especially ask
their influence for return to real old
fashioned fairness and economy.
Yours sincerely,
