Public roads should beyall that
the word public signifies; that is,
they should be built for the pub
lic instead of individuals. They
should always endeavor to reach
a desired point st the least dis
tance and slightest grades obtain
able, and never should be length
ened for private interest. Neither
should private interest be consult
ed in building them, but only the
public good.
Privite ways leading out to
beautiful building sites on a man’s
farm, or leading ffom one neigh
bor to another, are quite different
and should always be built and
maintained by private funds; but
when such ways become public,
they should always be recon
structed, according to the princi
ples above stated.
(Our fore-fathers adopted the
old Indian trails and used them
for a century or longer, pulling
up and down the hills, and around
the curves regardless of either
distance or grades; such a condi
tion may have been necessary at
that time because of the unorgan
ized condition of society, and the
sparcely settled country, but we
feel especially here in Douglas
county, that such a condition has
long since past and that a new
system of roajls are demanded by
the fast growing public needs,
One of the main reasons our
fore-runnersi could not do better
was for lack of funds and the
great distances to be covered;
Mrs. J. E. Phillips entertained j i lave no patience with the ef-

and such an argument may be
honestly and effectively used to
day, but on taking a deeper view
of the question, isn’t it true that
hills are cut down and hollows
filled up more for the benefit of
the coming generation than for
those now living, and along with
that view, isn’t it perfectly fair
and to the best interest of both
the present and the coming gen
erations that we issue bonds and
borrow money and build the best
of public highways and enjoy
them while we are here and let
those who enjoy them after us
help bear the burdens of building
them, for after all aren’t they the
real beneficiaries, reaping both
the use of the roads and the in
crease in the value of the proper
ty, which always results as a
matter of course.

ing to a family row, it keeps you
awake and on the move, there is
atrophy in apathy. It is better to
fight than to rust out. No man
is but half an entity until -he mar*
ries, and it sometimes happens
that he is not even that, his half
being absorbed by the other half.
Manhood is never fully developed
until it is merged into and made
apart of womanhood. Matrimony
is the finished product. He can
not rightfully fulfill sphere, be
come truly happy and give the
best that’s in him until he takes
the vows at the marriage altar.
A man is never a bachelor from
choice. He is one because he
could not get his choice. Having
been knocked out once or maybe
thrice, he throws up the sponge.
There are occasionally other
causes. It is the say way as old
maids. I think it is adding insult
to injury to talk about taxing the
bachelors and maids.—Meriwether
