Said the governor of Missouri tc the governor of Kansas, "It's a shor time, between bumps." Whereupon with a resourcefulness not exceedec by the famed executives of the Caro linas, tie Western statesmen orderet a brace of shovels and went to work There is a breezy, healthy, cheerfu note to the news that the people o Missouri pitched in to forward th( "good roads" movement inaugurate: by Governor Major. In setting asid< two days for improving the roads o: the State and requesting every abli ~~~^ +r? /inn nvpralls anc UUUICU l v uwu ? . ? work on the highways, Governor Ma jor made an appeal and found a re sponse which makes the country proud of Missouri. When the call came business mer deserted their offices and clerks drop ped their pens. Bankers shed theii disnitv with their coats and day la borers rose above the necessity o pay. Politicians ancl statesmen stop ped figuring on the\r prospects t( wield a pick, and convicts from th( State penitentiary worked; side b; side with clergymen. At least 250,000 men worked durin; the two appointed days. Implement and road mending machines wer< freely loaned to the State, and citi zens- of the various counties contrib uetd more than $200,000 to defray th< necessary expenses. Governor Majo estimates that the work accomplishe< was worth at least $1,500,000 to Mis souri. This in itself is notewortnv, du the effect of this exhibition of civi zeal is worth more than the inone; saved in taxes or the improvemen in the condition of Missouri's roads For it shows that the spirit of thi pioneers who first brought civiliza tion into the American wilderness i still anve. What Missouri has done with it: roads it can do with other and great er things. The willingness :o forge private affairs for public good t< rally at the appeal of the State an: work shoulder to shoulder for a common object is a possession more pre cious to Missouri than good roads America has become the power tha' it is today because of this very willingness. Governor Hodge, of Kansas, swuns a pick beside Governor Major* until tee hinds of the two executives became blistered and they undertood tc steer road grading machines. Then may be a deposition to smile at gov errtors in overalls blistering theii hands at the head of a road mendin? gang; but the comoi wealths that ar< at present praying for lockjaw o: writers' cramp to attack their execu tives would be willing to run thi chance of overalls and blisters.?M Y. Evening Sun. The Herald and News called atten tion to this matter in the last issu' and suggested that it would be a gooi thing for Gov. Blease to issue a gooi roads proclamation and set apar two or three days for everybody. t< go out and work the roads.-it-would ncx only give some good roads in Soutl Carolina but it would help create th< good roads spirit and that is the firs thing we need. Just think what a great thing i would be, though, if every man, ol< and Tonne:, would iust give thre< days good honest work on the road: in South Carolina. Suppose we tr: it. What say you, governor? It woulc help to settle a good many questions if all the people, able to work, ir South Carolina, could be induced tc give three days on the public roads at the same time. It is a fact well known to every one that it is a short time between bumps on most all the roads in South Carolina. Let us all make the distance longer. "Living at home in Dutch Forkpaper sacks and tin cans are un known." That is the head-line of ar article in a South Carolina dailj Monday morning. It is a fine commentary upon a fine section of coun try. The recent dispensary elections ir this State are indicative of dissatisfaction with the kind of prohibitior wrncn nas oeen experienced oy uit counties which voted themselves from the "dry" into the "wet" column. They are not indicative of any decrease in the temperance sentimeni 7 , in this State. In fact, we believe the t temperance sentiment is steadily on the increase in South Carolina, and. that the people are searching about for the best method of facilitating i temperance, whether it be in some counties the attempted enforcement l of absolute prohibition or in others | the attempted throwing of safeguards ) j around the legalized sale of liquor. t President Wilson is expected to * read to congress today a message j setting forth the position of the 11 United States as to troubled Mexico. 1 It is very much to be hoped that the f Wilson administration will be suc3 cessful in its efforts to secure peace 1 and a legally constituted administraj I g tion in the Southern republic. j The whole Thaw case is one 01 me - most disgusting with which ih-e Amer ican reading public has been burden' J ed in recent years. 1 " / That State loan has not yet been , negotiated, and the State treasury re mains depleted, according to the Cof lumbia dispatches. It is an unfortunate situation, but one for which } the legislature is primarily responsi 3 ; pible. The State ought to be put on a j business basis. There is no sense in I borrowing heavily every year, and s placing this heavy interest on the tax5 ! payers. The money has to come oui ! of their pockets in the long run, and e the necessity for borrowing, with the r interest charges only increases the 3 , burden.
