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."

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

TiME TO BE OFTiMiSTiC. .••-
Everywhere, all orer the country, v?liters arc sounding the note cf opti
mism. and urging thai the bright side, and not the dark side, of present con
ditions be the one emphasized.
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.”
