GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS
The Honorable (Jordon lee of Geor
gia In his speech before the house on
government aid for roads made th"
claim that the lon* neglected farm -
eFs turn has com*. The tariff and
banking laws have discriminated
against the farmer and the persistent
handicap on agricultural pursuits has
finally resulted In drslnlng the goun
try of Its ambitions and llfe-lovlmt
young men, who are drawn to the
cities.
The Back to the Farm movement t»
checking this to a certain extent, hut
until we realise that the farma are thy
main source of the whole nation's
wealth and set to work studiously and
carefully to develops the riches which
the earth holds, this tinlisppy flow of
youth and vitality toward the cities
will continue. «
In III* *peech Mr. I,*c pn|nt*d out
that h h the railroad* took the place of
military and pout roada the govern
ment withdrew from road building hut
now with the eiilamnon of the postal
system with Its rural deliveries and
It* parrel post, road building becomes
a logical duty of the central govern
ment. Thus, says Mr. I.ee. good roads
through the state* are needed for the
government's business, and It follows
from this that the federal government
should lend Its encouragement to the
work of all the people. Where rail
road* extend thay carry the matla. but
tha rural carrlera go where there are
no railroads. If a community away
from the railroads needs a post office,
one la eatabllshed. The federal gov
ernment does not tell the people of
such community to build a railroad or
do without mall lactltllea, and It
should not tell a section that needs
rural delivery route with access to the
parcel post that goes with It to build
a hard road or do without the
veniences of rural delivery.

plan atlon—drink.
It la not good to lie about drink,
and like everything else In the
world drinking la compui alive.
Borne men's constitutions w ill with
aland an appalling quantity of al
cohol. Some men can drink pret
ty hard and pretty steadily, and
yet succeed. Many men can drink
moderately without ruining them
selves.
It 1* true, however. Unit drink
la a great handicap. Whoever
drink* habitually undertakes to
win in a stiff race with n hun
dred-pound weight strapped to hta
back. Poaaibly he can do It; but
that is a poor conditon for racing.
To drink Is to erect a harrier U>
opportunity—to set up hurdles for
yourself to jump.
Liquor greases the w-aya for all

result Is women's campaigns for play
