■ ITS A GOOD PLAN
* J _____
I1JE HAV^ prtvlously mM that to our opinion the
J! present rood building plan is the best of the
three which here been submitted for the spprovsl
of the tax-paying voters, and it seems to us that
t^e statement from the CMamissioneta Court on
Tuesday* should convince every voter of the wisdom
of tyo-pragmas. ^
The Commissioners, without attempting to ia-
fiosnce anyone’s vote, declared that If the bonds are
authorised, the money rill he used in construction
highways to mnnert all damiapated highways through
the county, and said that assurance had been given
in this work onp-haV the expense will be carried
the state. Brown county needs to get back some
of the {utomobUe tax mossy which has been sent to
Austin, and this he an opportunity to do so. In addl-
tion. the Commissioners pledge themselves to build
secondary roads, with., hard surface, to connect the
various communities of the connly and to give first
class roads from these communities to the
> established highways Further, the Commtsslonfrs
prgrals* that aU the money will be handled by them,
with the advice and ski of representative citlsen*.
and that as far as possible. Brown county labor ant*
materials will ha used hi building the roads.
Thus It Is assured that if the bonds are author-
ized, the read hnOdtng program will remain in the
hands of our own people! and there will be every
reason to expect a dollar’s worth of road work for
av«ry dollar spaaL The roads will bo bulk pri-
marily to serve tho people who pay for thqp* but
adit also ssrve all the gpfiaunkiss of the whole
county. The roa4 work will offer employment to
Brown county people, many of a horn failed to har-
vest as good crop* as usual gad actually nsad some
Had of employment near their homes .
The success of the bo ad issue proposal fepetid*.
of eoorse. upon the amount of work that Ip devoted
to the renfhiaitp five days of the campaign. Those
who favor pood roods must lay aside ocher business,
and devote their gate to convincing those who oppose
th« road building program that they are fundament-
ally wrong In their attitude. If there are any—and
there may be a few—who fear that championship of
the rood-bond proposal may cause a loos of business
by alienating’ the friendship of some of those who
oppose th« good road movement, they ought to be
ashamed of themselves. It is a movement for the
bepefK of all the people, and nobody should permit
lean or aar-oCber selfish consideration to keep them
silent. The campaign is almoet\>v#r. and it is a lost
campaign unless hundreds and evsn thousands of
good rdeds supporters make it their personal task
to win votes for the bonds. Surely, when the need
for good roads is so great, those who recognise that
need will not fail to do their utmost to make K pos-
• sibla to build them It ft a good program, it will be
carried out honestly end efficiently, it will give em-
ployment to Brown county labor and use Brown
county materials, and will give the utmost of good
roads service tor the least possible amount ofjnoaey.
.For the sake of Brownwood and aU -Brown county,
lot’s put it over.

with unrestrained Joy in oar hearts
But there ar« many to whom Christmas promises
nothing other than another period in which their
want and misery la to be accentual*] by a vision of
the Joy and happiness of others about them. There
are families who will know nothing of th« Christ-
mas cheer, and who will he content if able to provide
themselves with the.very necessities of life. There
are children who -not only will have no toys or dolls
or similar playthings, byt wfo will havs bare feet
and shivering bodies sad empty stomachs.
So. let ns think of others as we prepare lor
Christmas, so that on ChrUuu** morning, and the
mornings thereafter, there may be no suffering or
want la oar community, no hearts hardened by the
apparent thoaghUeaeneM of the fortunate and well
cared-for people .who fill moat of the homes of
Brownwood.

TIE MAGIC OF THE IAB10 N.
Chicago Daily News: Almost without a parallel
la the chronicles of modern Industry is the ameaing
development of the radio. What a few years ago
was only a hobby Ig now a standard means of com-
munication, aducatlon and recreation Increasingly
utilised by aewspepers. by institutions of learning,
by churekea and civic organltationa and by tha fins
arts. ’ J ‘j. 77 1 '
Tb* radio business In the United Stated has
passed the half-billion dollar Mark. The volants this
year is expected to exceed by liOO,000,000 that of
last year, which broke all previous records.
Few would have believed i few years ago that
conservative universities wotfld so soon be usltfg the
radio not only for occasional dfeemlnatlon of bits of
Interesting knowledge, but for the extension of their
regular courses of study. Few would have b*llev“d
then that opera, concerts, symphonies and chamber
jnusie and all sorts of scientific lectures presently
would be broadcast for the benefit of millions in
cities, villages and isolated rural communities.
All this has been accomplished but the science
of radio is still In its infancy. Indeed, it promises
to become one of the most potent instrumentalities
of culture and progress. It ministers to all ages and
all sorts and conditions of men* For a small expen-
diture of money, time and energy it brings to the
many treasures that in the past have been the pos-
session of tha few. *
Radio counteracts influences* that have been
deemed destructive of intimate family life and of
the home. Yet it knows no 8tate of national limits
It promotes the solidarity of humanity while multi-
plying a thousand times the power and opportunity
of the individual who has a message to driver or
something of beauty and Joy to share with others \

' LIFE IMPHISOXHEXT
New Bedford Evening Standard: WhA is lift
imprisonment? Imprisonment for life is the obvious
answer, but it is far from being correct. In Oregon,
according to the Portland Oregonian, the average
term served in the penitentiary by persons sentenc-
ed to life Imprisonment is savsn aud a half years,
and it is a reasonable assumption that this would
be true of other States jn which life imprisonment Is
the legal penalty for murder.
Here is to be iound one ground upon which the
people oppose the abolition of the death penalty.
They are not particularly anxious to put murderers
to death, but they are anxious to make It imrpoealt)|e
for them to commit other murders^ and at the same
time to demonstrate to would-be murderers that the
penalty is severe sod certain. They would be per-
fectly willing to subetltute life imprisonment for cen-
tal punishment provided they fait certain that the
Imprisonment would he for Ilfs. As It happens,
they fear that K will not be. and the fear Is justified.
The force ef public sentiment may be powerful
enough at the moment to *end a man to Jail for life,
but once that Is accomplished, public sentiment kui
run of' him. His friends and l|wyera exert buy
amount of pressure to get the prisooer released, and
there Is no organised sentiment against such action,
the result being that he Is pardoned or paroled
without the public's being aware of what Is going on.
Nine times out of ten the criminal resumes his
ertmiaal career, and the would-be criminals decide
that the law Is so lenient that It need not be feared.
