The People’s Voice THE ROADS. In the Democrat of March 8 is an item “The Roads” by Uncle Dud. Many truths have been mentioned. ’Full many a dollar, you say, we spend on the roads, but still folks must waller with half measure loads” Now Uncle Dud how z can we have them any other way when all the Duds and their kiji are out on the highways when heavy traffic is prohibited by law? You are not out with ‘half measure' loads but with ‘over-loads,’ “We ought to have pikes that are smooth, clean and hard, you say, the kind each man likes, et<J’ Yes, Uncle Dud this is very true, we all would like such roads but we will never have them until wo all learn to and are willing to protect them. “Results are what score fit the road building game.” How true, but what can you expect from “results” alone. It takes "care” to have last-, ing "results.” You say “no wonder we roar and cry naughty- and sjmme.” Yes when you are asked to obey the road law and even asked to weigh your load you not only “war'' and cry “naught and shame,” but you “cuss and swear” and call all those that are trying to protect tiie higjiways vile names, such that would not look good in print. “Oh men let us use in our majesty not forgetting our own sighs at the cruelty of fate and insist strong <jnd stout to each road building crew that will turn ’em all out if they don’t build a few, etc.” “Perhaps—no one knows —they will list to our plea—perhaps.” To this “Uncle Dud” we answer no. We have gentlemen in our employ. But when we come to you with a plea for you to obey tiie road hiw, you answer with thumb to nose ‘Hee Bee.’ What a pleasure it would be if all users of highways were like Mr. I). F. Teeple and two or three others of Decatur. Go to them for your ailments. They will tell you what is wrong. CHAS. E. MAGLEY. I have been a reader of the Peonies Voice and enjoy it, because we ; t different sides of tiie questions. Vvhile I am not pretending to bq a college educator, but from Mr. Bryan’s point of view, there is something radically wrong with our educational system: and from a patrons point of view, it isn't all a question ■>f school buildings, and the kind of an education they get there, that keeps them from being criminals; and cure.; insanity from the good .ire they g'-t tlii-re. The remedy is in tli<- prevention, and, one way, begins in the home. Os course, all homes are not good homes, anymore than all teachers are good teachers. If they do sorry a license. One ar- ' tide signed "Teacher” • said, “what • a line tiling the ’compulsory attend 1 ante law is in cases where parents ' are not. intelligent enough. to see : that their child needs an education; ! it is good.” lam speaking now of 1 tiie parents that have just good, com- ’ mon sen e. Ami where are the par- ’ cuts that don't Idve their children < more than any teacher or. professor 1 that over stopped inside a school building. Ami for that very reason, t will not withhold anything from the child that would give il the very best possible chance in life. To th" extent of every self-sacrilice And I our educators as they call them selves—are constantly working tor more compulsory laws and more 1 equipment, until -the parents are.. 1

i ompelled, and the child is the ma chine of education ball, gymnastics until their physical bodies and minds are nothing less than a bundle of nerves, and unnatural excitement. And no one knows this bet ter than parents. But all that is left for the parents to do, is by kind words of explanation and excuses to the child. Why, her sewing looks is though it was made for "Fatty" Arbuckle or the Arm & Hammer brand soda salesman; or why her hard working father can't do a hard day’s -work on a breakfast of orange Huff; or wliy she can't go to bed and sleep. Well, after drinking a cup of wa t<-r will: two tablespoons of coffee boiled in it. We parents, have very little chance to teach our children during the impressionable age, the things that we think are very necessary, as part of the nights is about all that is I: ft to us. Our part seems to be to furnish the children.and the money. Th" Ladies Home Journal recently gave rates of American births in the I ijited States as compared with forkeigafamilies, and said, "the American would soon be extinct.” The for-h-lgu families, and said, “the Ainerithe American way of education. Some are rightfully alarmed about race suicide. How could the parents >f an old-fashioned sized family give them the demanded education under present conditions. No parents coluld bland tiie labor and physical strain. Rural schools sick? Y<‘s, and I «dd, patrons, 1 agree with “Teacher” that they’ are specialists in their lines, ami the farmer may know how to farm. But I cant understand jast to which side the egotism be longs. The tea-her to teach my child farming when possibly would n't know a persimmon from a Moors atic. I know we are lacking much in practical education, and if not practical, wity do we need it at all? Lint we are a long way from agreeing on the methods to use. and until tiie parents can have an equal share and chance with the teacher in lite education of their children, tiie system is a failure Hom many avenues. The county unit may be all right, township trustees may be unfit, uneducated farmers. Do you mean unfit for tiie office as a class? I think they have filled their office more honorably than many other public officers. Most of them are successful farmers. And how could they be successful unless they are educated farmers? As for eating for the schools, they would have more care and concern for the schools than an educator that comes into the schools, a stranger in tiie community, to earn a livelihood and cares nothing for the boys and girls only as they win their way into his or her approval. While Hie trustee sends his own children to his own community school. Progressive parents place their children above dollars and cents. And that is the reason it. is so hard to let go entirely of them. We farmers seem to he the object of tolty in an educational way. Save your pity and give it where it is appreciated. I know we are slow, but convince us With the goods and we will bo there with the money if we are not sold oiil at the side door of the court bottse Yours for a better and more prac-1 tical system.

BABE RUTH BEING SUED Young Girl Allege* Home Run King Took Her Auto Riding (United Press Service) New York, Mar. 14—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Babe Ruth, baseball’s slugging ace, will fight the $50,000 damage suit started against him by the mysterious Miss Dalores Dixon, 19, "to the limit," Hyman Bushel, his attorney declared today. "The Babe is a fighter and he will fight this case," Bushel said. “He will do it as a public service.” Alleged auto rides taken fiy Ruth and the plaintiff who claims to be an orphan, in the former's ear, are described in the complaint, according to Finberg. The plaintiff claims she is to become a mother, according to the attorney, charges that Ruth is the father. A “blind summons” was served on Ruth last November 13, it became knowji today. According to Ruth’s attorneys, he was urged several times to settle out of court and avoid publicity. i “Ruth doesn't even know the girl,” Bushel declared, letting it bo known that the home run king has assigned attorneys to his case “to find out who the girl is.” Mrs. Ruth has been informed of the affair and is backing her husband, urging him to light the charges, which she believes untrue, in court, the attorneys asserted. ■ • $-S—S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s a HEMSTITCHING & PICOTING We do hemstitching and pecoting with mercerized or silk thread at 10 cents per yard.
