AN EDITOR GONE WRONG
Under the above heading John T
Newport in last week’s Issue ot the
Fairland News-Herald takes an awful
fiing at us We had considerable
qualms of conscience and a prestige
of getting in a bad light with a few
of the brethren as well as some of
our subscribers but automobilists
seemed to be such a prevalent
disease that we thought we - could
slip Into the column of “buzz" wagon”
fans without much ' criticism This
seemed a delusion Following is the
style in which Newport hands it to us:
“The editor of this paper has al-
ways had a very high regard for
Editor Martin of the Miami Record-
Herald until quite recently From
hence forth it will be hard for us to
have the warm feeling for him we have
always entertained and the reason
for all this Is the fact that he has
violated the unwritten law of the edi-
torial fraternity by purchasing for
himself and wife a bran splintered
new Buick car with all modern con-
veniences The Idea is simply re-
diculous and absurd in' the extreme
and diplomatic relations are from
this time severed between two here-
tofore friendly pencil pushers1

HOW TO GET ROADS
When Caeser took a westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls of Rome
What was the first thing that he did
To make them feel at home?
Did he increase the people's loads
And liberty forbid?
No he dug in and built good roads —
That’s what old Caesar did
Did Caesar put the Iron heel
Upon the foeman's breast
Or did he try to make them feel
That Roman rude was best
What did he do to make them glad
He came their land amid?
He built good roads in place of bad —
That’s what old Caesar did
pie built good roads from hill to hill
Good roads from vale to vale
He ran a good roads movement
TUI old Rome got all the kale
He told the folk to buy at home
Built roads their ruts to rid '
Until all roads led up to Rome —
That's what old Caesar did a
If any town would make itself
The" center of the map
Where folk will come and settle down
And live In plenty’s lap
If any town Its own abodes
Of poverty would rid
Let It go out and build good roads —
Just like old Caesar did
