AVOID A PUBLIC CALAMITY
Self-government is the one great blessing which has
been handed down to us by the fathers of the republic and
its highly important that we show our full appreciation
of the boon which has come to us. To prove ourselves
worthy of this inestimable political heritage we must
make a proper use of the ballot, and in no instance can we
do this to greater advantage than in the affairs of our own
county. The election is scarcely three weeks away and it
is all important that we be ready to do our part when we
stand before the ballot box. It must be remembered that
we are acting in defense of our property and our families,
therefore we must go to the polls to act in unison with our
neighbors in securing good government. It is a square
deal wc must demand and the Lordj knows that is little
enough to ask.
The most important office in our county is that of
county judge. This high position has much to do with
the weal or woe of our local government; therefore this of
ficial should be every inch a judge in order that the
scales of justice may lie properly balanced. During the
past four years many thousands of dollars have passed
through the county court; this money was furnished by
the tax payers. Some $50,000 of the sum expended was
used on our highways, and as most people know, we have
little to show for it. Scarcely a mile of permanent road
has been constructed. The idea has been to fill up the
highway in summer with material of which to make im
passable mud in the winter. This is a direct injury to the
property owner, be he farmer, fruit grower, miner or busi
ness man. This wilful waste has brought us woeful want
of public highways. Clood roads will enable us to haul
heavy loads of produce to town the year around and will
add to the general prosperity of the people of the entire
county. Our present roads are good only six months in
the year. If that is all we are looking for, then half the
money they have cost would be a large sum to pay for so
little.'
y We are now afforded an opportunity to bring pros
nrritv to all Darts of Josenhine count v bv reforming the
i . i i ;
county court. We need a man in the ol'I'ice of county judge
who will do things and do them in the proper way and who
will not think it more important to keep his ear to the
ground to determine his political chances rather than
serve the best interest of the tax payers. There are two
good men in nomination for positions in the county court.
M. J. Anderson as judge has every qualification called for
1o (ill this high position. Should he be elected he will serve
the county in a manner that will give satisfaction 1o those
who pay the taxes of the county, as well as those who are
interested in the upbuilding of our industrial and commer
cial interests. His election will be the beginning of bet
ter conditions in all lines of business. This office is close
ly connected wilh everything material in our county and
to place a man of Anderson's ability and integrity at the
head of the court is the one to do at this time. Should the
voters of this county by their ballots continue, the old
regime it would be a public calamity.
