MIsSISSIPPI'S PROGRESS.


The pc ,p!e of Mississippi should net
forget, that during the pas dozen or
fifteen years, no State in the Union has
made greater progress along many lines.
1t is possibly true that we had a long
way to come, but we have been coming
fast.
This is true Of education, agriculture,
horticulture. live stock production, road
building, health and sanitation and many
other things that are necessary to make
this good State in which to live and
rear family.
The State Chamber of Commerce sees
the bright side Of our great State and
will use every effort to bring that side
to the front. Plans are being perfected
-wherel y the good things concerning our
commonwealth will be told millions Of
people in States who may be seeking a
location for home or the investment
of capital.
Before the proper development can be
brought about home people must be
made to realize that Mississippi is or e
of the best States in the Union and en-
Unused with the subject to the extent
that they will tell it to outsiders when
occasion presents.
From time to time short items deal
ing with facts concerning Misslssippi's s
progress will be told in these columns.
The readers is urged to carefully observe
these facts and to emphasize them when
opportunity affords.

PLEA FOR WELL-KEPT ROADS
Neglected Streets Not Alone Unhealth-
full, but Create Bad Impression
on the Visitor.

There are 15,45O incorporated
places" In America. OF these 15,450
cities, towns and villages only $500 ex-
ceed population of $500 people each; ;
yet these 2,8O0 urban places" contain
100000 people, while 10000 rural
places" contain 100000 Nearly all
the 100000 residents Of the $4,000
rural places live on unpaved streets,
and the same holds true of a large per-
centage Of the residents Of urban
places" There are no statistics to
show how many miles Of streets there
are in the 15,4O0 incorporated places"
so that we cannot estimate accurately
the percentage of unpaved streets.
Even without such statistics to indi-
cate the extent Of unpaved streets, 1t
would be evident enough to any one
who travels much that most Of our
small towns are inadequately paved
Mud half the year and dust the other
half are characteristics Of their
streets.
When we grow unduly elated over
our progress in paving our highways
such facts as these should bring us
to earth-yes, literally to earth-to
the dirt streets that are typical Of most
Of our small towns and villages and
also Of many Of our larger cities.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-09-07
What the City Needs.

A revival Of morality and old-fash-
ioned honesty Is the most urgent need
Of our American life today.
The explanation offered of the hor-
rible condition in Russia Is that men
could not keep up with the rapid de-
velopments Of civilization and, drop
ping behind the procession, they are
slowly reverting to barbarism.
Our trouble In America is that In
the midst Of the wonderful scientific
and mechanical development Of 1922
integrity of character Is too lightly es-
teemed and dishonesty In public life Is
too easily condoned by the voters.
Our municipal voters have quite
frequently demonstrated that their
standard of accountability has changed
but little from that Of the men who
acclaimed Robin Hood as hero about
five and half centuries ago. 1t mat
tered not to them that he was thief
and an outlaw, SO long as he gave to
the poor a part Of what he stole

PARKS OF DISTINCT WORTH
Boost Property Value-Wise City
Planning Also Factor Of Health,
Authority Says.

DR.. George F. Kunz of New York,
president of the American Scenic and
Historical Preservation society, pro
duced mass Of evidence to show how
greatly the presence of any beautiful
natural feature such as a park In
creases the value of surrounding prop
erty in dollars and cents. After dis
cussing the case of Central park, Doc
tor Kunz continued:
"If,. when the plans for the city of
New York above Tenth street were be-
ing prepared, there had been a land
scape architect, or some one with judg-
ment, he could have used the various
ponds for small lakes, he would not
have eradicated every hill, but would
here and there have given us a small
park, and would not have laid out the
city on the lines of a checkerboard,
with loss of both beauty and acces-
sibility.
Instead Of giving us few avenues
and many streets, he would have re-
versed the order and given us many
avenues and fewer streets, with the re-
suit that traffic would not have been
rendered difficult for many years and
almost impossible as 1t is today. More
over, as the sun rises In the east and
sets In the west, 1t would have meant
that two or three times as many homes
as now would have had sunlight all the
day, whereas at the present time in
many Of the side streets the sun is
never seen and the streets are filled
with Ice, and the death rate Of the en-
tire city has been notably increased by
the little knowledge shown Of what
New York was to be In the future."-
