URGE GOOD ROAD
GENERAL MILES AND MR BRYAN
SPEAK ON SUBJECT
THE ATTENDANCE IS INCREASED
The Army Officer Declares Govern
ment Should Find Money to Build
Highways Mr Bryan Talks from
an Agricultural Standpoint
ST LOUIS The second days ses
sion of the National and International
Good Roads convention opened with
a better attendance President Moore
introduced General Nelson A Miles
United States army He was receiv
ed with great enthusiasm by the dele
gates Ho spoke on Military Roads
and a National Highway and said
in part
I know of no one element o civ
ilization in our country that has been
more neglected and yet that is sus
ceptible of bestowing a greater bless
ing upon our people than the im
provement of our lines of communi
cation and avenues of internal com
merce
Our government has expended
500000000 for the improvement of
our harbors and waterways and now
the attention of the public is being
called to our postal roads and avenues
of communication are most useful and
important to all our people
If such expenditures of the na
tional treasure have been made in the
past for the development of railroads
and waterways is it not now a most
appropriate time that the improve
ment of our roads should receive na
tional attention and governmental
aid
The property of the people the
wealth of the nation comes from the
ground The factory and foundry in
crease and utilize the products of the
soil and mine agriculture is the prin
cipal industry so the great mass of
our rural people are our main de
pendency their patriotism their pub
lic spirit their welfare must ever be
the salvation and glory of our repub
lic Therefore every measure for the
good of the national government the
state or municipality that can pro
mote the welfare of the people should
not be withheld but should be most
earnestly advocated and most gener
ously bestowed
Any roads that can be made use
ful for industrial and peaceful pursuits
can be utilized for military purposes
We are not an empire or a military
despotism and therefore are not de
vising means for purely military pur
poses
W J Bryan took the agricultur
ists side saying
The expenditure of money for the
permanent improvement of the com
mon roads can be defined first as a
matter of justice to the people who
live in the country second as a mat
ter of advantage to the people who
do not live in the country and third
on the ground that the welfare of the
nation demands that the comforts of
country life shall as far as possible
keep pace with the comforts of city
life
It is a well known fact or a fact
easily ascertained that the people in
the country while paying their full
share of county state and federal
taxes receive as a rule only the gen
eral benefits of government while
the people in cities have in addition
to the protection afforded by the gov
ernment the advantage arising from
the expenditure of public moneys in
their midst

Is Still Glad that He Vetoed the Ex
emptions Bill
Governor Mickey is reading with
marked interest a number of articles
in trade papers concerning his action
in vetoing the senate exemptions bill
which was calculated to permit the
garnishment of one fifth of the wages
of laboring men receiving over 35
per month A marked copy of the
Omaha Trade Exhibit containing a
signed article by H Fischer an offi
cer of an Omaha dealers association
and several other paragraphs reacher
the governor All the governor would
say to those who complained because
merchants were not allowed greater
freedom with laboring mens wages
would be to ask whether every per
son with property did not have 2000
exemptions as his homestead right
If that was true why should a wage
earner have his income at the mercy
of persons who might use the power
unscrupulously The governor did
not regard the bill as vicious except
that it would permit unscrupulous
persons to persecute those against
whom the law was directed Some
corporations will discharge a man
who is garnisheed twice and each
time the garnishment is repeated a
bill of casts is run up which the
wage earner pays The governor
saw more possibilities for harm in
the bill than for good

over her by the family But finally
her opportunity came She slipped
into the cob house where the kero
sene can stood poured oil all over her
clotTes and over a quilt which she
wrapped around her and set them on
fire As tne flames flared up around
her she ran out screaming around the
house A son-in-law seized her and
tore off the burning clothes Medical

to save her life but she died in a

With my- nightly rest broken ow
ing to irregularities of the kidneys
suffering intensely from severe pains
in the small of my back and through
the kidneys and annoyed by painful
passages of abnormal secretions life
was anything but pleasant for me
No amount of doctoring relieved this
condition and forthe reason that noth
ing seemed to give mo even temporary
relief I became about discouraged
One day I noticed in the newspapers
the case of a man who was afflicted
as I was and was cured by the use of
Doans Kidney Pills His words of
praise for this remedy were so sin
cere that on the strength of his state
ment I went to the Hugh Murray
Drug Cos store and got a box I
found that tho medicine was exactly
as powerful a kidney remedy as rep
resented I experienced quick and
lasting relief Doans Kidney Pills
will prove a blessing to all sufferers
from kidney disorders who will give
them a fair trial

Dr Samuel J Metzler a Berlin phy

all microbes may be killed by a series
of violent shocks He seems to have
proved his theory at least to his own

filled with microbes and making her
skip and dance until she was almost
exhausted By that time the microbes
were well nigh exterminated
