SAYS THE VOTERS PROTEST
Governor Wilson Asserts Broken
Promises Make Socialists.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 10.-Speaking
before the Ellicott club here Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey ex-
pressed the belief that the motive be-
hind the numerous attacks upon bust
ness was due mainly to the repeated
disappointments that the voters had
borne.
These. disappointments,S he said,
were the underlying causes OF the
growth of Socialism, but that growth
represented about 20 per cent of the
real Socialism and 80 per cent of pro-
test-"protest against repeated intol-
cradle disappointment"

NEW ORLEANS FLOOD STAGE
Levees Expected to Hold Against
Crest of Flood.

New Orleans, Opril 10.-The Missis-
sippi river reached the food stage of
IS feet at New Orleans. The crest is
not scheduled to reach this city until
May 1, when the weather bureau pre-
diets the gauge here will register
els feet, nearly one foot above the
previous high record.
State and federal engineers in
charge Of the work said the chances
were more than even that the levees
would hold at points apparently weak.
There is NO feeling of uneasiness In
New Orleans.

THIS ROAD WAS LOCATED AND CONSTRUCT.
Ed BY A COMPETENT, HIGHWAY ESGI.
NERa.
ed in all the states in the administra-
ton of the public roads, and today this
policy prevails In great majority OF
the states. 1t places upon tile county
and in most cases upon the road dis
tricts or townships the entire burden
Of constructing and maintaining roads
and leaves to it the initiative as wei!
as the final determination as to the pol
icy which shall be pursued in carrying
on the work. .rt-~ ..-,
Our road laws for the most part do
not contemplate the necessity for skill
ed supervision in road work: hence
direction of men who have no knowl-
edge of road building and who have
only passing interest in it. This is a
situation which is truly amazing, for
skilled supervision Is demanded in
practically every line Of work. To the
trained road builder it is evident that
NO more prolific source OF waste can
be found than In unskilled supervision.
There are. including county and
township officials, at least a hundred
thousand road officials In the United
States, each exercising a practically
independent authority. Can We ex-
pect efficiency In an army in which
all are officers and none Is the rank
and file?
In nearly every public or private en-.
terprise some measure Of skill is re-
qufred Of the men who are expected to
carry on the work. When a building
is to be erected a number of men. each
skilled in his own craft, are employ
ed. One does not find that this man
is employed because he needs the mon
ey and that one because he is a good
fellow and the other because he has
political influence. but because he is
skilled carpenter, competent bricklay-
er, trained and capable painter. etc.
throughout the entire transaction.
The civil service Of the United States
is made up Of people selected after ex-
animation. Our public schools are in
charge of teachers who have been
awarded certificates after proper pre-
liminary training and examination.
Is it not surprising, therefore. that
we are willing to intrust the expendi-
ture of $140,OO0,0OO annually in the
building and care of our public roads.
SO essential to our welfare and even
our happiness to 100000 men, most of
whatever for their technical and prac-
teal experience?
In order to have skilled supervision
the technical training and experience
Of the highway engineer are necessary.
There is popular idea prevailing In
some sections that engineers are not
essential to road improvement. This.
however, is a very erroneous idea An
engineer, by reason of his technical
knowledge. can secure the easiest
grade for a roadway consistent with
the traffic for which it is designed BY
determining the drainage areas he is
able to compute the proper size for
culverts, he is able to design the
bridges to suit the needs Of traffic, to
estimate the quantities and cost Of ma
terials. select proper road building ma
terials and prepare plans and esti
mates. Furthermore. he stands be.
tween the community and the con-
tractor and is-able to give impartial
justice to both.

FEDERAL PATRONAGE ABUSE
Colonel Roosevelt Severely Arraisns
the Administration.

Pittsburg, April 1O.-"No more
acandalous abuse Of federal patronage
has ever been seen than We have seen
here in the last two months" said
Colonel Roosevelt in referring to the
government service in speech here
at Exposition hall. 1t was one OF two
addresses the colonel gave here.
Colonel Roosevelt charged that the
national Taft bureau was making an
effort to debauch the forest service
and said 1t was impossible that the
bureau could be acting without the
cordial support and approval of the
administration" He also asserted
that in Kentucky postmasters, accord
ing to advices which had reached him
from Edward O'Rear. former chief JUS
tice of that state, had been engaged
in the lowest kind of election frauds"

THE first copy of Laurel's new
paper, the Delaware Leader, -
reached us last week, and it is one
of the best printed papers on the
Delaware Peninsula. while the
makeup, from a printers point of
view, is all that could be desired
for a weekly newspaper. In its
political views the new paper will
be Republican, but promises to
reserve the right to criticise the acts
of the party whenever it fails to act
to what the editorial management
of the Leader deems the best inter-
ests Of that party. Laurel is a live
town, and needs the efforts that an
active local paper can put forth for
its uplift in all directions, and if
the start is maintained, the people
of Laurel will be glad that the new
paper had its beginning.
