LolllllllotlCtlK at rlltull I'rohlcd ' b1 11/1101011 of N ebrlllka , Thursday , May 4 , 1905. A l'reRllng ! CncRtion. ! It may bc that the first scssion of the 57th Congress will 110t reach consideration of the question - tion of National aid to good roads , but it is about as certain as any unconsummated thing can be , that it will recognized during the life of that body. 'l'here is prevalcnt in the minds of thoughtful men such ul1iUli- mity of sentimcnt and conclusion as to the nec ssity for good roads , and the fact is so well scttled that there can he no systematic . construction of roads wHhout government co-operation , that it is hard to see how it can be much longer delayed. While agitation for good wagon ways is as old as the first settlement in our system of civilhmtion , it has been until Withirl the past few years subordinated - dinated to the wonderful extension - sion of rsilroad lines : In the earlier days of the republic the duty and obligation of the government - ernment to aid in the construction - tion of wagon roads in the states was not seriously denied. 'l'he neccssity for government aid is admitted everywhere , only four or five of the wealthier states pointing the exception , and these without exception advocate government - ernment co-operation. President Roosevelt not long ago , speaking on the subject , declared good roads the main hope of retaining the energies of our young people in the country , and thus stop the flow from country to city , where every avenue of business is already - ready over-crowue(1. Other eminent - nent men contend for good roads on the ground that the farmer , the first and most important producer - ducer of wealth , ought to bc placed in position to hold his crop and market it at the most fayor- able opportunity , whereas under had roads he is virtually com- , pellcd to sell it as soon as it is matured , because the roads may become impassable at any time during the fall , winter or spring , 'l'he intelligent people ol tOWl1 and city plead for good roads be. cause the food they consume mus1 come from the farm and be pa < 1 for according as it is able to reacli the market. 'rhe farmer , the mainstay < lnd dependence of tl e gov rnment in evcry emergencv , feels that his substance is an l1ually swallowed up in the un happy conditions that deny hin reasonable market communica tion at his best time to sell. Il is discontented at his lot whc ! remembering that he pays ( ,0 pe cent. of all the taxes , amI yet re I , ceives 110 direct consideration a the hands of government , whil , unnumbered millions have bee : I given from the national treasur \ to better conditions everywher \1 \ except upon the farm. The ma : , ! who digs ont of the soil thl ] " which sustains all progress an \ ' " l > rosperity knows that while gO\ , I : ' erument aid has been lavishe . , \ upon railroads and ocean-goin com mcree , not one dollar , sinc the construction of the old Cun berland road , has been expende by the United States to faciliat Ii commerce between the farm an r the. . . market. It is no wonder , i , : . view of all this , that the agricu tural classes look upon the Ni : tional Aid to Good Heads movl ment as promising their long-di \ ferred material salvation. It I no wonder that the farmer 11i : gotten up from the bedrock e his free-thought and reason full aroused to the fact that unless 1 - i . . " . . ' ' . " . " .

The question of national aid to good roads is absolutely abova and beyond - yond the realm of party politics. It is advocated by strong men of ev ry political faith , ; : J.nd no man desiring the best in the material development and continual greatness - ness of the country will seek to inject into it any element of party prejudice. To do so would be to detract from a proposition at once seriously important to the commercial , industrial and social advancement of all the people in every part of the land. and would be a sacrilege to be despised. The Good Roads q"estion is a pressing question which , soon or late , will have to be recognized by national aid in co-operation with the states. We hope the 59th Congress will enact into law the Brownlow-Latimer bills , with the provisions of which the coun. try is already more or less fa. miliar. The l'ort1 llll ' lr. Sl'ecial ' agents from the various executive departments of the government - ernment arrIved in Portlan last week to install Uncle Sam's part of the big show. As this is the first exposition west of the Rocky Mountains in which the government - ment has participated. practicall ) all of the exhibits of the govern. ment will be new to the western. ers. But many of them will b ( new to eastern visitors as well. i . Particularly i this true of the Irrigation display. Large model ! of some of the 'overnment's grea1 . irrigation proJects , now bein I . carried ont by the engineers , arc being placed in an annex to Uu main government building. Herl the Exposition visitor may see I for instance , a model of the larg ( new Arizona irrigation plant with real water running from Uu , gigantic dam into the sub.canal ! - and ditches.

I am sure I voice the senti- m nts of almost every mother and of women in general , when I protest - test against the fostering of the spirit of militarism in our schools. 'l'he time of war is rapidly passing - ing , notwithstanding wars and rumors of war now taldnJ. . : ' place in the world. 'l'he futility of these is being- universally acknowledged - knowledged and the sentiments of peace and arbitration , as slited } to this age of Christianity , and I civilization , are spreading won- drously. It is time to adapt ourselves - selves to a new order of things. f-4et the same energy , spirit and expense spent in manifestations of war bc turned toward the con , . structive and educational. 'rhe superfluons energy of boyhood can be turned to better use today than to that glittering but false ideal of soldier life. Let us pause and consider the consequences - quences before using our1l1f1nencc in creating anl fostering a spirit of war in the minds of our youth. Nm.r.m E.

Custer County High School Athletic and Literary Association - tion will hold its third annual contest Saturday , May 13. 'rhc athletic contest will be held at the north side park at 3 o'clock 111 the afternoon. The opera house has been sccured for the literary contest , which will be held in thc evening. This is an indication that the interest in the Association is rowing as the Society never felt warranted in making the necessary expense to secure the use of the opera house. Hepresentatives from Sargent , Calloway , Ansley , Broken Bow anfl probably Merna and Mason City are expected to participate I , in the contest. Two at least . from each of the high schools are expected. Lew Douglass is president - ident of the association and it is due to the interest he is taking that assures that it will be the best contest in the history of the I Association. . City Council.
