SUPREME COURT ATTACKED TODAY (Continued from page one) with the Rooseveltion prinripl- 1 of 1912 for the recall of judges’ decisions. Popular election of federal judge*, a plan long advocated by union labor, will not remedy the situati''n, he said.. LaFollette also proposed that no federal judge except those on the supreme bench be allowed to declare a law unconstitutional. LaFollette denounced the court bitterly for its decision that tho child labor laws were unconstitutional and for its recent holdings in the Coronado ease that labor unions can be sued for damages. LaFollette turned his fire sharply on Chief Justice Taft, stating he had been "repudiated by the voters of tho United States on his record." LaFollette then attacked Federal Judges Andersan and McClintic, who, he said, have shown themselves “to be petty tyrants and arrogant des-

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1922

WON HONOR IN ESSAY CONTEST (Continued from page one) of my own community, as it was of Phoenicia or Rome. The benefits arising from the good roads of my community, may be classified under two heads, economic and social. The economic advantage's ure most marked. Horse drawn vehicles have been almost entirely replaced by motor driven ones. The doctor now visits as many country patients in a few hours, as he used to be able to see In an entire day. The farmer now motors to town during the noon honr, and replaces broken pieces of machinery. It is almost'impossible to fully estimate the value of our good roads to the farming population. A few years ago the farmers were forced to do their hauling, to

and from market, during the dry season; now they use the roads every day in the year. Nor is this the only advantage. A team of horses that can pull two tons on a level of dirt road, will pull five tons on a hardsurface road, or two and one-half times as much. The level condition of all our roads, renders this advantage almost universal. < With roads that can be used every day in the year, the fanner has changed his method ot Saturday shopping. He no longer spends f whole day, or even a half day, to shop. He usually works until th< middle of the afternoon or even supper time; then does up his chores, loads his family into the automobile and in thirty minutes he is in town. Our good roads have greatly facili ated the moving of heavy loads Twenty years ago, six to eight rntlei were the average hauls over the pub lie highway, today there is no limit Last week, one truck started from here to move six ministers to tbeir new stations, the distances varying from forty to sixty miles. The task was completed in a little over two days, with the greatest of satisfac tion. and very reasonable expense. The grocery stocks of the conununity are repleted almost entirely by auto trucks, direct from the wholesale houses of this, and other cities. This insures much quicker delivery than railroad shipments, and its marked advantage during the fruit season is evident at a glance. Land values have steadily risen all along the line of good roads; the bet ter the road, the greater has been th< increase in valuation. The social effect of the good roads upon this community is by no means a small factor. In these days whet country people everywhere are clam moring for the centralization of schools, good roads constitute the very first prerequisite. Already a few sections of our community are enjoying this luxury. These school buildings have in addition, large and idtoriuras, where once or twice a month great social community meetings are held. These meetings arc creating a most wholesome feeling of co-operation among the people of th.' community, as well as extending to tile boys and girls many of the advantages of the city, and at the same time offering ample reasons why the farm is the best place on earth. Good roads are making feasible the plan of uniting small country

churches into one strong congregation, with financial support sufficient to employ first class ministers, ami take care of the other requirements, without, overburdening anyone. Good roads have a wonderful aesthetic influence upon the community. The appearance of the fences ami farm buildings along our most improved roads, is*ample evidence of this fact. Our good roads have proven themselves to be great educators, by alluring many of our citizens into the love of travel. Already many of them have scoured the Atlantic regions, and not a few have crossed the Rockies. The invention of the wheel was indeed one of the greatest inventions of the ages: and certainly, any community, state or nation, bound together by hard-surface roads, is no longer an experiment, but founded upon bed rock. - • ' BLEEKE PICNIC The Bleeke school of Union township will hold a picnic at the Bleeke woods Sunday, Juno 18. 140t3 Servant Girl Woundn't Go in Cellar, Fearing Rats.
