"Don't fall out with your n?IK'?
bor because be does not agree wbb
you In politics, lie has just a*
much right to be a lilease man a*
you bave to be a Jones man. Wo
agree to disagree pleasantly, with

vote for the man you want elected."
To which the l>ancaster News re
pliM:
"The New? is for Jones; Ural,
because it thftiks Jones will ?wag?
the bent governor; and, HecojMJ.
because he 1h a Lancaster- county
man, juki county pride prompts i?a
to support him. But. we think the
of no man because of his sup

a free country where every man can
do as he pleases."

A Svrmoii on (ioo<l KojmJk.
Maybe tli/j road question ain't
none of my business. Then, by
granny, I'll just Hinder away and
talk about it anyhow. Strikes me
that every feller who can ride,
walk, hop or crawl ought to take
twine IntereHt In the road question.
You don't have to own a thousand
dollar gasoline chug-wagon with a
voice like many thunders and an
odor like a tan yard in order to be
interested in good roads.
If you are the principal stock
holder in a yoke of bull calves and
five dollar wagon loaded with 3
trull crossties and mired up to the
top bolster in a mud-hole, you
ought to cut your bulls loone and
ride one of them into town, waving
your last year'B hat and yelling hur
rah for good roads!. And even if
you posseHB nothing in thin world
but your mammy's match - bosses
and have to go as bare looted as
a shoemaker's wife, there ain't no
uho to slop around in the sour mud
and get 10,000 John Rocky hook
worms to boring gimlet holes in
your whitleather heels and climb
ing up inside of your legs like an
army of Taft Democrats going to
hog-heaven.
If I was a barefooted nigger and
had to make my living by running
foot races with a one eyed muley
steer, hanged if 1 wouldn't want
good roads to run on. Dirt is a
good thing if it is good clean dirt
"and rich enough to grow 'taters and
thingB. But, oh! deliver me from
mud! I have always hated the
stuff, and some of my experiences
thin winter have made me hate it
wusser'n ever. 1 live live miles
from the railroa.d and during all
this bad winter there has been just
one mud-hole between here and the
depot. Hut the blamed thing reach
ed all the way. A four horse team
goes straining through the mud
with about half as much as a wpek
ohl calf could pull on good roads,
while the fool driver Wades along
at one side and whips and cusses.
If he had a good macadam or sand
clay road he could take one ,of his
mule sand haul four times more
than they all pull, adn do It with
four times the ease and satisfaction.
The average wagoner could make
more clear money in one day than
ho now makes In a month. But
the poor idiot never thinks about
that. If you mention a tax for
building good roads, he will put up
a pitiful mouth and say, "Oh, our
taxes are so heavy already, we just
couldn't stand a road tax!" And
then he will larrup his bone - piles
and tug on through the mud, think
ing he has put up a koo<1 argument.
He don't realize that he is losing
enough every day to pay his part
of the tax for a year. Poor fool!
Now, gentlemen, 1 ain't worth
much, and the only vehicle that de
fends on me for axle-grease is a
sway-backed wheel barrow, but 1
am willing and anxious to go my
part on good roads any day. ? J. I,.
