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

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

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.
