The Question of Better Roads Must Be Rifihty Solved. ' There is ago in considerable agita tion goin on all over our country, in behalf of better roads. This move ] went should be encouraged. It has been the history of our country in all great reforms that they have been proceeded by a full and complete dis cussion of what ever the movement may have been. The interest that is manifested in behalf of tlie traveling public is not going to rest till it has been rightly solved. The prob ed. The problem of hotter roads must some way find a solution. \W| recommend tha! when the rural mall, delivery had the right of way in the| press of our count ry, there were mat y Hint lmd the belief that the millions| the government had to spend for the| rural free delivery should be devoted for road improvements. We very! much doubt if there Is an Intelligent! farmer to be found that would be. willing to give up the mail service;' however, it is true the next real groat question that is confronting us as a pebplt is the better roads question. J Shall it he a national or to be left to the state government, so that each state may act independent of the other. And the great question in- j volvod is doubtless the money ques tion. How can the money be madqj available, and not the least the kind; of road improvement to he under taken. While the larger plan snoum go on and be freely discussed that looks for either state or national leader ship in this movement; let our local i authorities in every road district sec] to it that the roads are kept in the best possible condition. Since the] adv nit cf the road drag and its free use on the roads, it has made wonder ful improvements. The neglect in the use of the drag after the rains is to be deplored. The good example of some farmers should be taken up by others, to drag after the rains as far as their land goes. Let us have the best possible good roads.—Con tributed. MARKET LETTER. Letter From our Regular Correspond' ent at Kansas City. Kansas City, June 27. 1010. Last week was the second in succession in which cattle receipts weie greater than the corresponding week last year, the excess being 15,000 head each week, and this liberal supply, jin conjunction witli heavy runs else where and lower reports from out sell points caused' the biggest smash in prices of any week tins year The very best steers last 23 cents, medium 'grades of natives closed 25 to 50 ' cents off, and lower grades, and but cher stuff, lost 00 cents to one dol lar. Grass cattle from native terri tory started pretty freely Inst week. 'Owners in some eases acting before steers had the proper finish, and as buyers were especially alert for tills | kind, and avoiding them as a pesti I lence, salesmen liad a most un I pleasant week, and owners suffered n l great disappointment. In the pre j vious week prices had help up pretty well and the hot weather had caused [cattle to take an enormous fill, re sulting in extremely poor killing per centage. Bnyers finding themselves (loaded with this high costing stuff, and with- a rather dull flesh meat trade, had both the power and the mood to administer a record break ing drubbing to the market. The wires and the mails were busy with advices to owners to hold off this week and the supply of 7.000 head today testifies to the effectiveness of the advice, also its soundness, as the market is steady today in most cases, and while still sick, moderate receipts for a few days will restore som<‘ of the bloom of two weeks ago. Prime steers are worth up to $8.25, bulk of steers $G.25 to $7.25, light grassers down to $5.25, cows $3.25 to $5.75, heifers $4.00 to $6.25, hulls $3.25 to $5.50. The principal indicative straw’ In the hog trade last week was the in creasing enxiety of buyers to get away from weight In their droves. Their inability to satisfy instructions fully on this point is rapidly widen ing the spread bewteen light hogs and the heavier ones adn country shippers should demand a liberal dis count on the heavy weights. Pack ers say light hogs can be finished and put into trade channels much quicker I than the heavy cuts, besides finding a better demand, and that it is too great a chance to take on heavy hogs at present prices, when the market could easily drop one dollar per cwt before the stuff could be prepared. This condition seems to warrant tiie prediction that lighis will soon be selling one dollar above the heavy weights. Market is steady to ( 5 lowrer today on all but lights which are strong to 5 higher, light hogs $9.30 to $9.50, medium weights $9 251 to $9.40, heavies $9.15 to $9 30. pig:-! $8.75 to $9.00 J. A. RICKART, Live Stock Cor. C. H. ALDRICH FOR GOVERNOR Pertinent Comments of Leading Newspapers on the Candidacy of Senator Aldrich for Governor. The candidacy of b\ H. Aldrich for the Republican nomination for gov ernor grows apace, and Republican papers all over the state are giving him unaualltled endorsement. News papers usually reflect the sentiment of their communities, and this Indi cates that, public opinion is uniting upon Aldrich ns the logical candidate of the par y this year. It is easy to understand why tills is so. In Aldrich is typified the progressiva Republican ism of the w st. Ills record speaks volumes In bin favor. He la an able, brainy man and a fenrless, open fight er. There is not a grain of the trlm iii r and dodger In his make-up. He is in line with the most progressive thought of the state, and would fitly represent the brain und brawn, the i -icrgy and progressi veness of our own great commonwealth as Its executive. That is why the Aldrich boom for gov ernor grows, [’copies Banner. C. H. Aldrich of David City an nounces himself a candidate for the republican nomination at the August primaries this year. He says that the party should adopt a platform as pro gressive as that of 1006. blood. This is the right kind of talk from a man whose record Is back of It,—Ainsworth Star Journal. — C. H. Aldrich of David City, a for mer state senator, announce* his can didacy for the republican nomination for governor tills year. Moth his legis lative record and that as a private citi zen makes his candidacy very popular among progressive republicans.—Blair Pilot. In the candidacy of Senator Aldrich for governor the people have r man who has served them wdll In the past, lie Is staunch In his convictions and has the ability to achieve his pur poses.—Utica Sun. At the present time Senator Aldrich of David City seems to be the only candidate in the field for governor on the Republican ticket. He is a man of remarkable ability and if nomi nated will carry the Republican ban ner to success next fall.—Columbus Tribune. -— , C. II. Aldrich of David City is out in an announcement for the nomlna i tion for governor on the Republican j ticket and taking into consideration 1 his record and his all around fitting | characteristics, makes him a uian to whom we cun turn and enthusiastically work for as governor of the great state i of Nebraska.—ICtnesaw Citizen. Some republican papers are boom ing Hon. C. H. Aldrich for governor. Mr. Aldrich took the republican plat form seriously and in the legislature proceeded upon the theory that the people wanted what the platform .prom ised. A wonderful job of fulfilling plat form pledges was done by that legis lature, under the leadership of Sena tor Aldrich.—York Times. C. H. Aldrich in his announcement for the republican nomination for gov ernor recognizes the fact that the peo ple of this state are now demanding that every candidate for office make known to the public the things for which he stands in such clear and un equivocal terms that there is no chance for side-stepping or dodging. A personal promise front a man with Aldrich’s public record means its ful fillment.—Hebron Journal. One of the last editorial expressions of the late W. E. Dayton of the York Republican was a strong endorsement of Senator Aldrich for governor. He gave the David City man a certificate of character as a "square dealer," a thorough out-and-out honest man, and deserving of the support of progres sive republicans in this state. Mr. Dayton himself never trimmed or begged a question, and his endorse ment of Aldrich was based solely on bis personal belief that he found a suitable conjunction of "the man, the time and the place.”—Kearney Hub. The record of C. H Aldrich as a senator in the 1907 legislature is such that it shows him not only to be pos sessed of those essentials which fit a candidate for making a strong cam paign, but for filling the office of gov ernor with credit to himself and to the state. Senator Aldrich’s public services prove him to be an able and honest man and an aggressive cham pion of the rights of the public.—Hum boidt Leader. Various newspapers over the state are indulging in considerable talk rela tive to prospective and available can didates for the republican nomination for governor. Out of all that have been mentioned. Hon. C. H. Aldrich of David City st ems to be the general choice, due largely to the splendid record he made in the state senate two years ago.—Friend Telegraph. Why not elect a governor next fall who Is not a political trimmer? C. H. Aldrich of David City lias a clean rec- . ord.*—Aurora Republican. , I Landrigan, of Course For Furniture and Undertaking I will save anyone money if they purchase Fur niture from me.
