ROAD VS.. BATTLEsHIp

Less government money for bat
tleships and useless political navy
yards, and more for the improve
ment of the public roads!
Every day the wisdom of this pro-
posal Ia becoming more apparent to
the national law makers. The agi-
tation for road improvement is be-
coming more and more pronounced.
and 1t Is generally conceded among
the members Of congress that 1t will
be only a question OF time-and a
very short time-until this agita-
tion finds expression in legislation.
The champions of road improve
ments do not want, and do not de-
mand that any new expense be sad
died onto the government. Their
program is the essence of simplicity
and reasonableness. for all they ask
10 that the government use money
which is being wasted to give the
nation better highways.
Up along the Maine coast there is
a navy yard which cost the govern
ment twelve million dollars. The
only useful purpose IL ever served
was to create a lot of fat political
jobs for the use of former Sena-
tor Hale. No battleship ever enter
ed this navy yard for the simple
reason that the Atlantic ocean, at
that point is not deep enough to
float a battleship.
The good roads men demand that
instead of building useless navy
yards for the political benefit of
the money be spent on the
roads. no that the farmer may more
quickly and easily get his products
to market. and 20 that land, now
of little value because Of poor roads,
may become valuable and useful.
Here are q few of the A. B. C.'s of
the good roads proposition.
Tho cost of hauling. per ton. over
5 miles Of unimproved country
roads is more than the cost. per ton,
over 200 miles OF railroad.
A farm 15 miles from a shipping
station, on unimproved roads, Will
cost more per year than land can be
rented for adjoining the station.
Improved roads. as compared to
roads, will move the
farm Is miles from a shipping sta
tion to within half mile of the sta
tion.
II land 10 miles from a shipping
station rents for $6 An acre, and is
worth 500 an acre, having unim-
proved roads. the same land. with
good roads. will rent for $12 an
acre. and will sell for 5000 an acre.
These facts apply as general
proposition. They are based on
averages compiled from figures
gathered by government experts,
and are accurate.
The good roads idea is gradually
Of greater political signi-
ficance, and therein lies the hope of
the friends of the movement, be-
cause whatever action is taken
must have its source in congress.

THE UNCERTAIN POTATO

This has been season of valu-
able experience in potatoes. The
shortness of last years crop has
led to many changes in the usual
program. Sections that shipped
have been receiving, and the few
productive areas have realized the
Joy of prices quite beyond prece-
dent. One result has been the I'M
portation of enormous quantities
from Europe. One ship arrived in
New York with a record-breaking
cargo OF six thousand tons shipped
from London. Here is the news
item: Roughly there are enough
of them to supply 100000 meas
for an adult. AS potatoes were
quoted here today at 1926 per bag
of -68 pounds, the shipment is
valued at more than 100000. The
government collected $4,000 in
duties" A shipment to a southern
port filled more than hundred
cars, all of which were sent to the
mining regions of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia and to western points
The movement to take off the tar

but did not become law.
In nutritiveness the potato

Goldfish. pork or veal. 1t digests in
two hours and q half. the same as

the American kind: 1t goes to pieces

q hazardous occupation; for the crop
varies greatly according to weather

the farmer. Tho game is by no

able wants people to avoid illness
and enjoy length OF days. With the
EQUITABLE 1t isn't merely humane
interest. 1t ID strictly business. TO
the Equitable saving lives means

And yet this Is not any more true
of a life insurance society than 1t

a money value to society. A defi-
mite economic loss Ia suffered every

zens willing and able to make ltv-
ing.
And aside from the productive
power of the Individual which the
community loses when the individ-
ual dies, there are the direct ex-
penses accruing from illness, funer-
ais and other charges.

Equitable ia a hopeful sign. 1t pre-
sages the spread of enlightened
selfishness among other great cor
porations, with their prodigious In
fiuence in public affairs. 1t prom
ises that the community. itself will
some day be inspired by the same
kind OF selfishness.
At that time the 5000 lives
wasted by preventable disease will
be saved. But that will be only a
beginning. Victims OF disease not
now classed as preventable will be
redeemed. Industrial slaughter
will be stopped. Social influences
that dwarf children in body, make
for feeblemindedness and create
criminals and paupers will be
wiped out.
There is no influence that holds
out more hope for progress than
enlightened shness.-Philadel-

Nearly All Agree

At tlxe conversational republican
convention held at Brighton recently
there was the same action among
the delegates that there was In the
state convention Of republicans
when the suave GugGenheim with
his barrel WAS much in evidence.
Rut there was one there who
dared to rebel in the face OF over
whelming odds. There WAS one
who rebellei when Guggenheim was
elected senator. but that man has
been marked politically ever since
and will not come into his own until
the Guggenheim yoke has been
thrown off.
Judge John T. Jacobs Of. Greeley
warned the convention what the
marty had to expect this fall in
Weld county. He knows sOmething
of this county and the conditions
here. He knows, As does everyone
else. that . convention may he In
fluenced by the dominant factor In
politics, but 1t Is another story when
the rank and file Of the voters get
q chance.
The voters will have . chance
this fall. For the first time In the
state the primaries will decide who
is to hold office. The stigma OF
Gugxenheim will stick to the party
he represents. His methods are
known. And nearly everyone real
ICES that what Judge Jacobs told
that congressional convention at
Brighton is pretty close to the
truth.
