URGES ROAD LEGISLATION

Little Rock. Ark, Feb. 21.-Gov. T. .C. McRae today sent to the General Assembly a special message urging the passage of highway legislation which will entitle the state to parti- cipate in federal funds fer the build ing and maintenance of roads and calling the attention of the legislators to the recent letter from Secretary Wallace of the federal Department of Agriculture. giving notice that the state can receive no more federal funds until satisfactory conditions are remedied.
 The trouble lies with our highway laws, the governor said. Especially does Secretary Wallace complain of our failure to place funds for mainte- nance of the roads that have been built. The message called attention to specific faults in the present leg islation and road building system and urged that the recommendations of the honorary highway commission be enacted into law.

Whether a closed-door trial
has impressed you more or less
than an open trial might be an
open question. but il there il
one Of you who looks upon that
trial as something amusing. he
will make the mistake Of bis

pick pockets. holdups. horse

something else along the lines
of criminal life.
Some of you boys may later
in life have stopped of your own
accord, but the chances are that
if you had not have been found
out at this time. or in your
early lives, some of you woul d
have become hardened criminals.
while others in the course Of q
longer or shorter time would
have been classed as "undesira-
bIes" in the neighborhoods in
which their lots might happen
to be cast.
So as we've said. instead of
regretting that you were found
out, you ought to, and We be-
lieve will. as long as you live,
thank your stars that you were
found out-before the Gndipg

for your reformation.
