fact that the winds of the past few
days have blown all the dust from

ONE MILLION FOR ROADS.
Bids Will Be Opened Today by Com
missioners of Tarrant County Tex.
Fort Worth Texas April 22. Con
tracts for the construction of almos
Sl.OiiO.OOO worth of roads in Tarrant
county probably will be awarded this
week. All of the bids will be open
ed by the commissioners' court Tues-
day and it Is expected there will be
no hitch in finally closing the con-
tracts and getting the actual work
started.
J. C. Travilla. who is directing the
road work wilK be with the com-
missioners and will advise with them
in reard to the bids as they are
opined. He drew the specifications
tor all of the improved highways
and knows approximately what the
work should cost. He is thoroughly
familiar with every detail of the big
undertaking and it Is expected that
all contracts may hi; closed this
week.
The bids to be considered Tuesday
are on the eight cardinal and suli
cardinal roads leading from Fort.
Worth to tin couiity line.
The road question has been th
biggest problem before the comniis
sioners for the past year and ban
been especially important during the
past three mouths. Although the
bonds were voted almost two years
ago no actual work has been done
and thin is expected to be started
in May. After the awarding of the
contracts the contractors aro expected
to get the material m n and teams
on the ground and proceed.
This will then relieve the court of
that proLlenl to a certain extent M
the greater part of the burden will
then fall upon the engineers.

W. J. Bryan's Sunday Sermon.
Washington April 21. Secretary
of State 13ryan told an audience of
men In the second of a series of Sun-
day lnetins that there never was
a time when faith was needed more
than at present.
"Without faith" said Mr. Bryan
'it is impossible to accomplish any-
thing worth while. A man must
have faith in God faith in himself
faith in his fellowmen and aith in
his government before he can do any
work of importance in the world.
Faith In the government does no'
mean that men shall not see its ds
fects. They must try to perfect It.
Our form of government makes It
possible to make the government
just as good as the people deserve.''

ist leaders express confidence that the
consideration of their claims will re-
sult In a franchise being made equal

record In which a political strike re-
sulted In a victory for the strikers.

Washington I). C April 22. Pre

the democratic members of the wavi

radical readjustment of the entire
fiscal policy of the nation.
They proposed to make the Income
tax the means of ndjustlng accu-
rately the funds to be raised by taxa-
tion to corespond with the necessi-
ites lor government expenditures.
The democrats in outlining their
IHlicy In preparation of the bill an-
nounced an absolute disregard for
the cost-of-productlon theory as reg-
ulatlvo of the tariff rates and de-
clared that in the pending bill they
"had attempted to eliminate the pro-
tection of profits and to cut off the
duties which enabled the Industrial
managers to exact a bonus for which
no equivalent Is rendered."

clares for the establishment of du-
