A Great Nations Birth

Today is the gloriuos Fourth,
the anniversary of the Declara-
ton of independence. The day
when our brave fathers told the
King of England that he could no
longer lord it over us at pleasure
and tax us without allowing us to
be represented in the law making
bodies.
We had a long string of com
plants against the King and we
proceeded to tell it to him and af-
ter summing up of the situation
we told him we wouldn Z stand
for his tyranny any longer.
Those old patriots who signed
that document knew\full well that
it meant a war and that it would
be war of life for a new nation,
or death for every man who sign
ed it. The revolution was success
ful and we became a nation. Now
the best and greatest inthe world
We ought to be patriotic

a becoming manner. We are show,

Recent criticism of the army, and
particularly of certain features which
have become conspicuous in the mo.
bilization of an army on the Mexican
border, went so far as to particularizc
the present army post methods. The
author Of recent criticism stated that
with the enlargement of army posts the
government has expected the army peo,
pie to develop them practically into
government parks, with beautiful lawns,
landscape gardening, pretty sylvan fea-
lures, etc, Transforming the would,be
soldier into a keeper of parks and Civ
ing him little time to be the soldier
that the government expects him to be.
Reducing the posts to the barracks
plan as proposed for the "drill shed
lOtn site, the soldiers have little or
nothing to do beyond learning to be
real soldiers, and the officers time can
therefore be devoted to imparting in
strlction only, or mainly, in the art of
war.

at is right here where the Big
Brothers come in. One man may not
be the right one. The Judge handling
them may be of his base, but out Of
n hundred or so men some are sure to
make a success. The chief offenses for
which they are brought before the
court are larceny and gambling. The
latter comes in spells and we Will have
a hundred or so brought up before us
for the same thing within a couple of
months.
"You can not expect the boy to be
perfect, for he is not made perfect.
You can not expect him to flop over
new leaf. If you do you win be
doomed to failure; and here is another
place in which the Big Brother steps
in. Robbery and burglary also play
an important part. The Hawaiian boy
is irresponsible, but the Portuguese are
afraid Of the court when they are first
brought along. They are either that or
they come cringing. 1t is with them,
however, that the greatest success has
been made"

HOW CASH WILL
co ON BELT ROAD
CONTINUED from Page ope.)

"The work is now being carried on
of getting the present roads in order.
The men are at work repairing and oil
ing roads that were rapidly breaking
up. If these are once repaired and
kept in order they viii last well. When
a road is kept oiled it is always good,
but it is no use doing it once and then
leaving it alone for a year or so. 1t
costs big sum to bring it back to its
proper condition.

Work to Be Done.

Work to Be Done.
The actual facts and figures for the
belt road show that there is a lot of
work still to be done. At the present
time there are forty-eight and FIVE
eighths miles of road macadamized.
This is the stretch where the men are
now working. Once it is fixed up then
Gere viii see that it is kept so,
There are twenty-nine and half
miles that are ready for macadam. All
that will be necessary in connection
with this is to form the crown and at
tend to the drainage system. Once this
is done, then the metal can be placed
ON top. 1t will cost about $1,000 a mile
to get it ready for the macadam and
another $4,000 to $1,000 to metal it. The
extra cost is in places where the stone
has to be hauled a long way. In this
stretch five eulverts have TO be put in
and $500 feet of seawall built. There
is also part of it that has to be refined,
as the present track wanders about over
the grass Just as the automobile drivers
have made it,
There are six and threeq quarter miles
to be graded and relocated. Part of
this will be an expensive job, as it is
rough going and numerous cross drains
have to be cut. These are expensive
items and soon run away with the
money. When all this is done, how
ever, the belt road should be a fact
and not a patchwork.
Only New Work.
All of the facts mentioned deal only
with what is regarded as new work and
will come fairly under that heading.
On the present road there is great
sum of money that has to be spent in
repairs. Several of the bridges and
oulverts, which could have been saved
had few dollars been spent on them
when they first started to go. have
nearly rotted away and win have Ia
be built over again. This can not come
under the beading of legitimate new
work, and viii have to come out of the
ordinary appropriations.
Regarding the town streets, Gere was
rather pessimistic. According to him
there is not enough money spent OF
maintenance, and as a consequence the
pavement gets in hopeless condition
The gangs do what they can, but il is
very little, as all the money goes Out
to make new stretches, He Is a great
believer in repairing what is already
in existence, and then. after appropri
ating enough money TO keep them going
