THE INDEPENDENT June 28, 1923. E I 7C —FOR TODAY—- | Bible Thoughts memorized, will prpve a priceless heritage in after years. NO EVIL—■ Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my^refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling,—Psalm 91:9,10. PERMANENT ROADS It is difficult to conceive a legitimate argument against the proposition of the Indiana motorist that the state’s main market highways be built with permanent “hard” surfaces. The suggestion argues itself. It may be permissable under some circumstances to construct less expensive roads in less traveled territory, but for the chief arteries of travel permanence ought to be a fundamental consideration. We are in the uiidst, or perhaps at the dawn, of a motor age. Highways everywhere have become motoj roads primarily, and the number of vehicles rapidly increases. Building perishable highways is as shortsighted as it would be to erect houses without roofs in the expectation that no rain will fall. Highways must be built not only to support the present traffic but the traffic that may be confidently forecast for the years at hand. Permanence means smaller bills for maintenance, thus returning to the treasury some of its additional first cost. If a road is in continual need of repairs the indication is that the work was of a Wrong type or was improperly done in the first place. Our idea is to put more money into original construction and thus avoid the necessity of putting so much into maintenance. EDITOR HOLT RETIRES. Editor A. B. Holt of the Culver Citizen, who for seventeen years has been producing one of the best country newspapers that comes to our desk, is about to retire from the field of Journalism, having sold to M. R. Robinson and F. C. Leitnaker. who take possession July Ist. While it has not ben our privilege to know Mr. Holt personally, we have been interested In reading after him. The Culver Citizen completely covers its territory, carrying many interesting local notes in addition to the news of the Military Academy. We regret to lose Editor Holt from the fraternity. Mr. Robison is a recent graduate of Baker university at Baldwin, Kansas He is a son of Rev. C. R. Robinson, a district, superintendent of thn

Methodist church, stationed at Houston, Texas. He has been superintendent of the consolidated school a» Benedict, l\ansas, for the past year. Mr. Leitnaker is also a graduate of Baker university. He has been teaching journalism for the past year iu the high school at Chanute, Kansas. SPECULATION VS. INVESTMENT. “The trouble with too many people who have SIOO or so to invest is they are not able to distinguish between an investment and a gamble. They are easily induced by promoters and salesmen to part with their money in schemes that offer them little chance es winning. And when they are “stung” they are too proud, or too sensitive to public opinion, to come right out and report the matter—so the fake agent or promoter goes unpunished and proceeds to hunt up more victims.*’ * The Investment Bankers' Association of America is launching a campaign to protect the small investors of the country by acquainting them with underhand methods of fake stock promoters. Consult your local banker before buying stock of any kind. — ■— 11 —♦♦ ■ —— — — VP TO THE TIMES. A newspaper may boom a town through its editorial and news col- , umna, but a critical investor takes his cue from the advertising columns for substantial evidence as to the thrift and prosperity of the place. To him the advertising Is the barometer । that measures the prosperity of a , town. The ads reflect a prosperous ! condition and tell him that the place is up with the times in business. J VST "hat we make it. Some people get tired of this life and Just fall asleep, while others hurry the end along with the use of a pistol, knife, or a bit of poison. But it's a good old world after all. and it uses the most of us as we use it —in short, this life is Just what we make it. Most people are satisfied with a fighting chance, while olhera are satisfied with a chance of fivM Ing. Any town or any community that doesn't pull together doesn't accomplish results these days. It takes united action to build towns and cities. Oftimes individual ideas must give way to the will of the majority. What ever happened to the bird who used to run around with the information that wars had a cleansing effect and made for virility' People whose houses are not well screened do not have to leave home to attend a mosquito meeting. The indemnity Germany is willing to pay. in round numbers is 000,000,000,000 marks The Anti-Saloon league ought to change its name to Anti-Bootlegger.
