C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise , IN DEFENSE OK COUNTY GOV- | EKNMENT The October number of the Uni versity News Letter says, "The jungle of. Ameriiua tiemotruiij: ia ctive official attention—we refer to county government." Viewed from every angle, we mustj say that the statement is a little dras-j tic, if not caustic. Of course, we know that county I government stands among the first of the political organizations of. our country, and like most other old thing.', is full of defects, and it some times looks almost tike a crime to see men in charge of a job of such big proportions, with so little capacity; yet after all is said and done there is still some good ground of defense for the government plan. There was a time when county gov-' eminent—that is to say, the commis sioners of a county—were entrusted; with all the duties of county affairs,! including schools and roads. The road government gradually grew from under them, and while we have improvemnet we pay well for the difference. The schools have also been taken cut of the hands of the county com missioners and placed in the hands of special boards. With the new order of things the present so-called "jungles of democ racy" have nothing to do except look after the county paupers, draw juries, and occasionally replace a broken window pane in a courthouse or jail— and levy exhorbitant taxes for extruv " agant school boards, or it may be road commissioners, who are equally as big spenders.

J They happen to be in the very cross- I fire of criticism from both the tax I I payers and the tax spender, which) j really whips them to the €xtent thar j they fail to transact the affairs prop erly within their sphere of duty in a businesslike way, thereby gaining for: themselves the criticism for being stingy and incompetent. We have no criticism to make a gajjist road builders. And, of course, everybody knows—or should know j that education is our only hope for freedom and prosperity. And tnouKii| education comes high, it is worth I more than the cost. The News Letter might find a few | i c riticisms against the school govar | merit as well as so much against t j.county governments. The educational program seems to | lord it over other branches of our Mate 1 arict county governments. Mi, people see the apparent, tendency to clrift the pupil away from frugality and thrift toward the desire and .ten dency to luxury and laziness. There, seems to be a spirit of,,pride | ;n the new day that calls for expense j without limit, and the big spenilin j boards have no grounds to thrust all! the blame on the county systcrr. j which is, in fact, about the only check OittT we have against the wave ef er - truvagance.

It's been over eignt iong years since a wild west was on the road, and the country is eager for the com ing of such a show, especially when il comes larges than any of its kind ever was before, presenting hundreds of (Matures and novelties never dream ' td of in the old days. Yes, there are , elephants, camels, buffalo, oxen, long l iiorns with 101, and the long, orange- I colored stock cars of the trains brings !

Then, too, there are many famous outfits among the spec ' .tacular Oriental contingents. There are 1,400 people with 101 llanch, and the spread of canvas, in cluding the huge rtctangular big top, *ith its opera chair grandstand and auxiliary tiers, seating 14,000 people, cover 15 acres.

See that Bird wrote this whol s Ad for me himself. He knockeJ me but he boosted "Bull'' Durham. He fell right into my hands. Its only by the wisdom of our smart people that us CLOWNS and Fools are allowed to ride in Limousines. They say "The Lord protects the fool ish," so, I am nestling right under his wing.
