' Reads about over the coun ty indicate that those who have been attempting to build and keep up roads an Kobeson iKive something to learn about road building and maintenance; and it would bs? a marvel if thev hml not something to learn, for even the most cxnert road-builders are contin ually learning. It is to be hoped that every ctizen of the county who is in terested in good roads will visit this exhibt, and -especially that road sup enrisors, county commissioners and - members of tlie Farmers Union will ' make it point to visit it. The coun ly division of the Farmers' Union, by the way, could do nothing better, as The Robesonian sees it, than to take hold of the road problem in Robeson and help to lift it out of the mire -f politics into which it has sunk and put it upon a plane where some effective road work could be done . Efficiency should be the only meas ' aire of road work. A visit to the , Tad exhibt here next week ought beexceedingly profitable. - BEST IS BUT POOR Representative Claude Kitchin has given a statement to the press, ex plaining his reasons for opposing the preparedness plan of the Administra tion. B-ftefly stated. Mr. Kitchin bases his opposition on the irround that the United States already has a Iiavv lare-er than that, nf nation except Great Britaini and it 13 admitted by even advocates of preparedness that there is no need I' r this COUntrv to have snrli a navv as Great Britain has; that the army i3 already being prepared; that the increase in taiPS that, umnlr? ha nan. ersary to provide for the proposed uii.rea.se wouia De Duraensome and tie people would murmur if taxes were increased to that extent. He gives the President credit for being entirely sincere in advocating this program, as he believes the Presi dent credits him with sincerity in opposing, and says that sinca it is not and cannot be a Dartv nroornm because of the very nature of the question, he is at liberty to ODnose if in his individual capacity.' Mr. Kitchin navs his resnects to the New York Herald, which paper has set out MAI 1DI1 IL'fDrn nimn la na V T n .1 it - ...
