Let's have another "Gocd
Roads Dav",
You ought to .have seen some
of our ministers handle a shovel.
Rah, rah, rah! Rah, rah, rah!
Rah, rah, rah! Lenoir, Le+.o i,
Lenoir!
Of course Murphy is sun
enough sorry now that he didn't
have Sulzer barred public office.
The value of the work done on
our streets last Wednesday hi «
Thursday is estimated at $l f 00(
or more. Top soil was or
Tenth Avenue from Twelfth
Street to Sixth Street, and 01
Thirteenth Avenue from
byterian church to the Lutherai
church. The value of the work
can hardly be estimated in dol
lars and cents, inasmuch as the
enthusiasm which the "Good
Koads Days*' stirred up in the
minds and hearts of our citiz°n?
will be an added impetus to the
cause of good roans that will be
impossible to estimate, and the
results of the two days last week
will be far reaching in helping
on the eause of good roads in our
county and state.
The work done on our streets
last Wednesday and Thursday
by the students and professor?
of Lenoir Collage is worthy of
special mention. These students,
the majority of which were Iron:
other towns in this and othe
States, responded to the ca!! al
most unanimously aYui woiker
with a never-failing energy
Boys, though your hands be sou
and .calloused, you can teet am
that you have the praise you de
serve and .-the officials of the city
and our good citizens thank you
for the service rendered. Th
young ladies did their p*rt well
They prepared lei neb for the
boys and cheered them on in a
way tbat.ocrig young ladies can
do. Here's ' three -chcrr.. for the
ladies, and, tnotigh the hoys are
too gallant to let them get out
and use the shovels, still ..we wish;
to ask them to keep on usin:
their influence for t! : ;ause o;
good roads, which wil! be greater
than the efforts of the best
speaker of our country.
The policy of the United State-
Government at Washington i.
dealing with the Mexican situa
tion seems to be generally ap
proved by the public. President
Wilson has been very pat>rr
with Huerta, in fact he has bv-i
criticised in some quarters for
the spirit of conciliation winch
he has emphasized in his deal
rngs with the m*n, hut as Hut
has not manifested the spirit o
compromise in the slightest de
gree, in fact his defiance has in
creased, and. he has become more
arrogant, and from his action
seems to defy intervention or
the part of the United States
Diplomacy tas no effect on a
man of. Huerta's caliber, soft
words are inefficient, only a com
mand with power enough behind
it to make it effective will cause
him to.change his plans. There
is no eqgivocation in the char
acter of the message.
There is no equivocation in the
character of the message sent
from the State Department in
Washington to Huerta. It de
mands the retirement ot Huerta
and aH his conspirators in Mexico
The policy now agreed upon is
that Huerta will .be .given an op
portunity to renounce his claims
to the throne of the republic of
Mexico, to have nothing to do
with the responsibility of the
government, and to ieave the
people of Mexico frop tn a ;
voice in their affairs and at least
a chance at self-government,
which of course.tjiey.do not have
in the present regime, if this
request is refused there wiii he
but one alternative, and that
means he will be made to how in
submission. It will Ik* p. -rreat
pity should the last course be
come necessary, and yet there is
determination expressed in this
message from Washington, and
it of course depends u»on the
actions of Huerta in this matter.
Every citizen of this counlrv
would regret the necessity of
going to war with the Huerta
element injMexico, and we most
earnestly hope that intervention
may yet be avoided.
