Dr. Vardell, who is al ways planning for the good and pleas ure of his friends, had prepared a very elaborate spread. Mr. J. S. Jones acted as toastmaster and he made a good one.

The ballot is not only a sacred priv ilege: it a solemn obligation. It is your DUTY to-vote. " Tne man who doesnt regard this obligation enough to come to the polls, Personally. I shrink from attempt ing the tusn of constructing a road law that would conform to the desires of the public. So many failures have been made. No road law of itself will .build roads- The people must do it. Not until our best men are willing to devote of their time and talents to the construction and maintenance of our roads can we hope to obtain and maintain the desired end. A bond issue has been suggested by some. You have now a bond issue law, passed in 1913, that applies to-this county, that we might avail ourselves of. This is the township plan, and any bond issue that does not provide tnat each township s bond money shall be spent within its own boundaries would fail of enough votes to adopt. I am of the opinion, too, that the proper way to spend bond money, if we were to adopt this or similar plan, would be to put out the work to con tractors who own their own equip ment nd who are experts in their line, following the same ptan that the railroads do in their construction. They build by contract, they maintain by a section force.

That is no excuse. If every honest man did his part, they wouldn't be rotten. Mr. Moody, campaigning for a prohibition election in Chicago, asked a preach er for his support. The preacher re plied that "he had nothing to do with earthly politics," that "his citizenship was in ;heaven .

Witnesses testified that Graham did not have a suit case when he boarded the train and as the case was not in the possession of Roper it was considered that there was not sufficient evidence to con vict either of the defendants.
