West Blazing the WAY.

Several western states are agitating
state highways Among them are
Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Ok
lahoma, and then there IL the project
for a through thoroughfare from the
Missouri river to the Pacific coast and
the Omaha-to-Denver road. And this
agitation is not one that will soon
subside. Rather, it will grow and de-
velop into real results. The west is
taking the lead in one of the most
important Questions-economic ques-
tions-of the day, the question of
good roads. Certain southern states,
notably Georgia, must be credited also
with leading parts.
No one may say that the matter of
good roads is not an economic ques-
ton, and no one will say it who has
given any thought to the subject. The
woman at the country grocery COM
plains because, for instance, eggs are
abnormally high. The merchant ad-
mits it and adds that, owing to the
bad roads, the farmers will not come
to town with their produce. 1t is an
old question. 1t applies just the
same to corn and wheat and other
farm products. Good roads or bad
roads affect not only the disposition
of the farmer to take his products to
market, but, consequently, the price
of commodities, the cost of transpor-
tation, the price of land, of labor and,
in the end, largely, the cost of living.
Indeed 1t is prominently an eco
nomic question.
II Is of the utmost Importance,
therefore, that all these movements
looking to better country highways
receive the cooperation of everybody
who can help. One writer has put 1t 1:
''The gospel Of good roads has come
to mean the salvation OF dying towns
and sick communities" Yes, and
the grace of living cities as we'll. 1t
is fundamental; few questions before
the American people today are more
so. We have gone far enough toward
it's solution to find that we are vast
ing money on poor roads and thus re-
tarding the progress of many vital
problems that need to be worked out
before the laws OF supply and demand
can work as Systematically as they
should.

positions TO keep in the dark on questions

for the measure, and we believe by doing
so he has strengthened his hold upon the

BRYAN On Underwood.

MIR. Bryan is never so interesting
as when he turns on his own party.
He is doing some castigating today
that will make still better reading
about a year and three months from
now. His confessions have to do
more with his party and its present
leaders than with himself, and par
ticularly with Representative Under
wood. who as chairman of the ways
and means committee and leader of
the house majority, stands as the vir-
tual head and body OF the militant
democracy. According to Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Underwood not only is outgzaring
former Speaker Cannon in his gag
rule methods, but he is betraying his
party and renouncing its pledges. AS
for Speaker Clark, he is only one of
Underwood's pawns, moved about at
will Underwood. with his King eau
Gus, is floor leader and speaker all in
one, and he manipulates the house
rules as If they were a code of ethics
devised for his own private convent
ence in putting through measures he,
or those he is serving, desire.
By the aid of King Caucus, Gear
Underwood, Mr.. Bryan says, is able
to conceal all his maneuvers from the
public until they are completed in ac-
ton and IL is too late to thwart them
h1r ri
cuses Underwood of betraying his
party to the extent of secretly de-
feating the speakers own program of
tariff reduction and serving the steel
and iron interests by resisting tariff
reduction on those articles. In the
Commoner he says:
The action of Chairman Underwood in
| opposing an immediate effort to reduce
the iron and steel schedule reveals the
real Underwood.
Mr.. Bryan ought to know Mr. I'm
derwood. He has had the opportunity.
When he says the real Underwood"
therefore, hts words cannot escape a
certain sinister meaning. The high

subordinate leader to betray the plans
of the real leader of his party, and
this Mr.. Bryan charges Mr.. Under
wood has done in overturning Champ
Clark's revision program. To shear
him of his power for evil Mr.. Bryan
recommends changing the caucus
rules. But. nobody believes those
rules will be so changed.
The republicans owe Mr.. Bryan a
vote of thanks, however, for this full
and fair exposure of the perfidy of his
party. 1t should help the people in

whether they want that party installed

Etiouette for Office Seekers.

No one better than the office seeker
chasing a primary nomination realizes
the truth of the old adage, If you
don't blow your own horn, nobody will
blow it for you" At the same time
customary etiquette requires the
candidate to feign a degree of mod
esty, even If he has it not, and the
real difficulty comes in striking the
right glow Of unobtrusiveness without
hiding all the light under a bushel.
Out in the rural districts, even more
than here, the practice prevails for
candidates to announce themselves
in formal cards in the county seat
weekly. These cards afford material
for a political primer. Without going
outside of a single county, some of
the literary gems are worth noting.
Here is the standard form good at any
time and in any place:
1 hereby announce myself as a candidate
for the office of county treasurer. You
vote and assistance will be highly appre-
ciated
Sometimes, however, it looks better
to have others push you into the ring
in this fashion:
At the solicitation of friends, and
prompted by my own desires, 1 have an
nounced myself, etc. 1t is an office for
which / feel myself we'll qualified by
reason of my experience as county assessor
in recent years. and ] will be truly crate
full for any support given me.
Possibly this one is still more po-
litely framed:
At the solicitation of my many friends
have consented TO become a candidate, etc
For a few variations, perhaps the
following will do:
1t is now ten years since left the office
Of county judge, which 1 had held for -four
years. 1 enjoyed the probate work and
took pride in setting the estates right.
| would like to engage in the same work
again. and will feel grateful to my many
friends, etc.
Or this:
i desire to announce myself candidate
| etc have been a resident of the county
/ thirty-one years, and invite investigation
! as to my standing as citizen and my
capabilities to perform the duties of th'
| office 1 am asking. I shall truly appre
ciate any support in my behalf.
If bluntness has any virtue, the sub
joined will have the desired effect:
1 submit my name as candidate, etc
have no argument to make in my owl
| behalf / ask all democrats in the county
to look up my record as man, as demo
crat and as an official in various clerica
positions, and II my name and my recorC
should appear good, then / hope to VIII
| your approval at the party primary.

citizenship? Who denies that the

cue in the matter of free freight trans
portation. The climax OF adversely
from weather conditions seems to be
reached in the out-of-the-way town
of Florence, Mo-, where a man has
been arrested for stealing" a bucket

Nothing approaching these extremi-
ties has been known in this immediate
vicinity, though everyone admits
more rain is needed. In the main,
however, we may regard ourselves as
reasonably fortunate, and in some
cases as normally we'll off, for there
are parts Of Nebraska where rain in
plenty has fallen. A fair review of
the situation over the country only
serves to emphasize the notable fact
that this middle-west, especially Ne
braska. averages up in temperature,
winter and summer. and in precipita-
ton somewhere near the mean.
