bridge just above town.
This is the time of the year when con
struction work is light and the more
work that can be brought about the
better. There are men who need the
work but they will not be the only
gainers by early action. The county
can naturally build roads more eco
nomicaJly when work is slack and
teams and men are plentiful than it
can during the busier months of the
Tear. As to the need of the work In
question It Is enough to say that It Is
a marvel why the county has endur
ed the present condition this long and
it Is even more marvelous that no fa
tal accidents have occurred at that
double curve leading to the bridge.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels Is
correct when he says that "the voice
of the swashbuckling
Swashbuckling Jingo is heard in the

very loud, and crieth
in the wilderness or the Hearst pa
pers. Wherefore, "Mr. Hearst"' Is
much Incensed with Secretary Dan
iels for his remark concerning the
"swashbuckling Jingo." So are other
swashbuckling Jingoes,, and the mili
tarists, as well as the manufacturers
of guns, gunpowder, armor-plate and
other stuff of "preparedness for
war."
The Jingoes are well organized.!
There is plenty of money behind
them, and there la no doubt as to the
source of that money. The Krupp

and powder manufacturers swell with
a great hope. Militarism means mil

handed over to those who find great
profits In "preparedness for war."
The War Trust can well afford to fl
nanca a campaign for more battle
ships, more guns, more preparedness
and an army of half a million men.
And one question very naturally
arises: "How much is Hearst getting
for his activities in behalf of a big
navy and a big army?" Remember

If patriotic Italians choose to cele
