Commissioners Acted Wisely. The county commissioners have acted wisely in taking reasonable time and giving due consideration before letting contracts for paving. The fact that they did net rush rnntrartlnk during the early fall has worked out to the advantage of the county. Now that contracts are being considered and all details being arranged during the winter, when the spring opens everything will be In readiness for the commencement of the work as itgrocd upon. The Engineering News-Record has a timely article on paving and the season of the year In which the work should be done. It reads as follows: "With the experiences of this year In mind one would expect that high way engineers would plan to let thelt next season’s contracts early. Inf viulry, however, indicates (hat such Is not the case. Only 'here and there It n»xt season's program determined The reasons given vary. In some cases the departments arc waiting for lower prices and will not deter mine their programs until the de creases appear. In other cases, reasons are given. If department!' propose to do work next year, thej . should definitely arrange to Invite bids In January and February. That re nulres that the program bo at onci determined and tho letting details b> taken In hand. What Important de ' crease here may be Id prices wll' probably materialize by Jan. IS. Earl lcttlqg not only will Insure nil early spring start, but will allow material: Ac- be put on the ground In advance and will give the materials producer: and equipment manufacturers earl; warning of what the road program >111 demand of them next year. I' Work la, to be done at all next year {wisdom demands early letting. I.owe t rices secured by delay are likely tr e offset by losses dun to Inability to get the work done within the sen son's limits.” » From the foregoing article It wll be seen that the commissioners o' this county have acted wisely and s< soon as the weather will permit worl will bo commenced on tho roads, t> Dnnlelsvllle and Lexington. The con: mlssloners are rendering splendh cervlce to the people of this count? and when all tho flurry has blowr over. It will be seen that these gen tie men were working for that whlcl they believed to be for tho best Inter eat of all concerned. With the letting of the contract: for concrete puven.ent, let us all conn together and back up the commission era and work for belter roads and i better county; forget our difference: and In hafiony work for the upbuild Ins of our (oramunlty. ’ Tho cnly true and henest way is j to measure by manhood ana the In fluence of high prices on the uplift ing of manhood and womanhood, the bei.etment of homes. Improved school facilities and enlarged comforts for women and children. We have the highest testimony that Heaven can give lhat the laborer Is worthy of ’lie hire, hut III these days, as In the past, the power of the old fetish of "cheapness'’ Is worshiped and I Ing invoked to break down the prices of the fat mers* products and thus the wages of the laboring man. The souls of all men ought to ho open to the 'Ight of Divine truth and to the teach Inns of history that a cheap coat makes a cheap man, that low wages mian poverty and anarchism, that low prices of farm products mean an ultimate famine in them, and lhat cheapness is one of the D vil’* most efficient tools for working damnation ‘o scul and holy. But many, having ryes, prefer not to see this truth." SERMONS TO LIVE BY tlCi FRUttlH DEMPSEY. 0. D. A Good Morning to You A VERSE AND A VlONETTE By O. O. BICKERS vhat ne MANY, IF ANY? I.

II. Things To Be Considered. The Manufacturers Record has t timely editorial on "What Cheapnes: Means.” It Is full of sane and sounc’ suggestions and. if followed, will provi beneficial to the nation. The editorial says; "A cheap coat make* a cheap man, said President Harrison many yean- ago, when he stated n great trull which the.world needs to learn. "('heap labor cheapens the moral spiritual and physical power* of Ihr nnderpsld man or woman, and In th< end is the costliest labor. A chear cost breeds Ill-will and leaaena a man’: self-respect; a good garment help* tin Inward as well as the outward man "Cheapness finds Its most fertih field in India, where wages run frotr three to fifteen cents a day and where Indescribable ;poverty antf sufferinr are everywhere In evidence; in China W ere poverty Is so great that million' starve; in Africa and In Japan. lki> America has blessed the world by high wares, for by introducing hlgh-wag. schedules here It has gradually lifter* up wages throughout the world. There are. however, some narrow, shriveled money-mad souls or others falsely trained In economies, who believe Ir low wages.-in poverty for the farme- and the laborer, and in the cheap ecu and the cheap man. They cannot comprehend that “cheapness” Is cheapness of soul In themselves, and they measure humanity only by what they can make their dollar buy of ether people’s labor and products. “High wages, full salaries, high prices for farm products are a thou sand times better than low wages, low salaries and low prices for farm prod- nets. "Some bankers and some buslnesr men view things from a different standpoint. They meisare everythin* br the dollar mark, and that Is why \nd do you supposo there Is ono sc vile, „ to steened In Ills "etresedness all the while.

For the certainty of future improvement, la the bright side stressed by men who are closely studying business conditions. One of the best articles that has recently apeared la the following front (he New York Evening Mall: "Thanks tire due to Joseph W. Harriman for his timely and Inspiring . -iogan, 'Now is the time to he an optimist.' If there has been anything ou earth of late to arouse indignation It Is the hysterical, I'Oh-Lord-lt-looks-bad- iloesn’t-lt' talk that has been sweeping our counWy from ono end to the other, to the great .disgrace of the nust fortunate and resourceful nation under the suit. "What did we expect? Was American business to continue Indefinitely an a simple operation of holding out a bucket and catching the dollars that tell In from the skies? Were we idiots enough to believe that the world could go slamming along into $200,i'00.00U.00U of war debts and that we should never feel the effects? We do foe! them, ot course. Wo shall feel them for some years to ceme. But if little Finland, whose people not so long ago were eating mixed moss and sawdust to keep their hardy bodies from starvation, and who live scarcely more than a biscuit-throw from the Russian debacle, but put themselves on good diet again and placed their nation firmly back, in commerce, what excuse is there tor the cowardly Industrial panic Into which the people of this great land fell? "Hie world’s war losses look big as one piles up the figures. But they loom small when ranged alongside the tremendous and unimaginably vast totals of assets. Besides, the world docs not owe that debt to Mars of Jupiter, item whence officers shall come to foreclose the mortgage. The world owes the debt to itself. The very process of moving the money represented from one pocket to tho other will make a mountain of business enriching millions. All noeoed everywhere is the opportunity to get to work and political tran quility that will allow the w ork to eon Untie unmolested. We shall get that, and get it sooner than the pessimists think. "in our Individual lives we know from experience that it Is not tho troubles which we foresee and worry ourselves pale about, as a rule, that over ruin us. Dangers foreseen are dangers forefended. The world today knows its predicament, and knowing II is moving hand. foot, brain and every sinew to rope with the condition. In a single year tremendous progress btis been made. "Yet the call Is not for arm-chair optimism or pipe-dreaming anticipation. We nerd tile optimism of the doubled flat, cf stork grit, of strenuous labor,, the optimism that lcves a go‘od bard hopeful light and convinced of Its power, can be cheerfully grateful for Its sure victories beforehand. In America what honorable place can there ho for any other eplrft than this. Our wealth is greater than that of all western Europ* combined. Our means are incalcu lable. Our people are the most Intelligent, strong minded, vigorous and adap table I11 the world. We shall keep nil prospering because we have the will and the way. ! "Therefore, when we talk, let us talk hopefully, or keep our mouths shut. 1 Better still, let us get so busy that wo shan't have time to talk.” CHEVY CHASE GETS Winder News of . Editor R. 0.
