As the dause, so the effect What
is the uw of purifying the stream so
lotig as. the source is foul? Let the
people bat determine to support
only good men for office, and the thing
is done. Let us not wince—the evils
we deplore are more radical and more
Wide-spread than we are ready to ad-
Bit.
A good country road is both, a con-
venience and a comfort to every trav-
eler and to every farmer who lives
adjacent to it. Good roads attract pop-
ulation as well as good schools and
churches, and enhances'the value'of
adjacent property no little. We see
lots or matter printed In,our exchang-
es in favor of good 'roads and hear lots
of things said in favor pf them, hut
we never hear any one say anything
against them, nor see anytihng te that
effect in the papers. All must admit
tba( they are something to be desired
then. The question .then comes down
to the best way to secure them! all
admitting that they are a comfort and
convenience and something to be .de-
sired.* We take the position that the
issuance of bonds to* secure gopd roads
!e the best way, the qujpkeat way and
the cheapest way in tbs end. To il-
lustrate: Suppose we taka-two coun-
ties lying side by side with tjie same

ten: Our assessed valuation is now a
little heter than 118,000,009. Fif-

such bfll? Will you not help in this
fight? if Interested write your con-
gressman and ask him to use his Influ-
ence .to get 4 report on that bill and
to vote for Its passage when it ia sub-
mitted for a vote. A united press and
an aroused'public sentiment on the*
subject will insure the passage of the
measure, and surely all are aware of
the necessity of som'e such legislation
along this line. It It absolutely up to
the people to see that this nefarious
system of Controlling our public ser-
vants Is broken up. It is mainly thro
these channels that the predatory in-
