| would like to give the road pro-
| ject some further consideration, to
give some idea OF the kind Of road we
will petition for. II seems that the
system of building roads IN Mont
gomery county Will meet the approval
OF all concerned 1t Is similar to the
old stone pike, and costs about $4,000
mile Our worthy aspirant for
United States Senator, Hon. Blair
Lee, is the promoter OF these roads,
which are giving entire satisfaction.
The farmers IN that county who have
stone to furnish for the road bed, are
at liberty to haul their own stone, II
they have any and do any other work
| they want to do, thereby giving the
farmers a chance to reap their share
of benefits financially and By 80 do
| ing, the money Is left to a great de-
gree right among the taxpayers Of
the immediate locality where the
roads are being built, instead of hav-
Ing stone shipped from distant places,
and supplying foreign help for road
construction. It was simply an out
rage the way the money was so law
ishly spent on the piece of road built
from New Windsor to Hydes Hill,

mile. We do not want to level down
the hills and fill up the holIows. like
the state roads that have been built,
1t Is simply an extravagant waste Of
time and money. Your writer has
been informed that the state road just
recently built from Westminster by
way OF Smailwood, is breaking
through in places already. and must
be repaired at the expense Of whom ?
Yon want to build these roads on a
far more economical basis. So |
think the roads they are building In
Montgomery county will meet the ap-
prevail OF the public at large. We

A Day in Autumn

The sun comes up, red and full be-
hind the horizons haze. The air Is
crisp and bracing. The sparkle OF
the dew is mixed with trace or frost.
Leaves fiutter earthward. like wound.
ed birds. and rustic as little gusts OF
wind play hide and seek among them
The hills are purple. the meadows
shading from green to brown. The
naples flame with royal coioring
trimmed BY the golden rod.
Soon Old Sol gains the mastery oil
the heavens and across the dome OIL
blue the only suggestions OF clouds
are occasional groups OF southwark
flying birds.
Along the country road creakins
wagons bear rosy apples to the cider
mill. Here and there a vineyard IL
begemmed with pendant rubies. In
the corners OF the rail fence you see
the elder bushes bending. Pert sqYir
rels dart among the trees or scold
when they suspect that you are
watching. Affair you hear the notes
Of a wood thrush or the whir OF q
pheasant Covies of quail astound
you as you cross the CLEANED fields
From the valley beyond come the
happy noises Of the school children
at recess play.
At noontime you think Of midsum

ripper, richer. There's tang In TIT
air which forbids downright lazinees
yet you yearn to daily and drink o
this perfect day Its full portion o
Joy. But tasks beckon and you 90 u
them bravely.
II isn't long until you feel the chill
Of the setting sun. Again the hori

around you for stories. ma brings II

been for some months investigating
conditions In the army and has been
telling the facts without any sugar
coating. These amount to little more
than has often been admitted by high
officials Of the department and In
printed department documents and
are In effect combinations of similar
statements made about the navy by
Secretary Daniels. who said when he
took charge OF the department that It
was enlisting men under false pre-
lenses as To seeing the world" and
SO on.
That faithful reactionary paper, the
New York Tribune. was much worried
about these attacks on the army.
which II said were calculated to
arouse public prejudice against the
military service" and suggested that
the war department might do some
thing looking to the suppression of
articles OF this kind"
Warren's letter to the secretary
says: If the Appeal to Reason has
made one false statement about the
methods employed by the United
States army recruiting offlcers In
their work Of securing recruits for
the army. l stand ready to make q full
and complete retraction.
THE Appeal to Reason has but one
object-that OF printing the truth. II
Is truth alone that advances our
cause. And l Also know that should
this paper make one false statement,
prosecution for libel would quickly
follow. There II law In the state OF
Kansas to punish those who circulate

voked against the Appeal In its entire
history.

recreant to their duty, and 1t intends
to continue this work as long as there
remains an abuse uncorrected

The Victory

everybody. Ii is q tariff that Ia exact.

tariff that was promised at the polls
1t IL 4 great triumph for Mr. Wilson,
for Mr.. Clark. for Mr.. Underwood, for
Mr. Simmons and the other Demo
cratic leaders: It IL q great triumph
for the Democratic party. But chiefly
1t Ii q great triumph for the principle
OF responsible representative govern
ment
The American people should never
forget that their institutions % they
exist Will always serve the full need Of
the nation II they will but employ
those Institutions. There is never rea-
son to despair.
Four years ago the Republican par
ty had deliberately violated its
pledges, and the Democratic party was
impotent. But NO sooner was there an
imperative necessity for constructive
Democratic leadership than that lead
ership came into being. Who could
have foreseen four years ago that q
dfscredited and demoralixed democ-
racy was about to be converted into
an efncient, responsible instrument Of
government by men like Wilson, Un.
derwood and Simmons, whom q ma
jority Of the American people had
hardly heard Of? Yet this IL what has
been done. Il Il what will always be
done when the need arises and the
country proves that 1t wants such
leadership.

New Nationalism but OF the Old Ma
tionalism. This Old Nationalism will
always be adequate to q nation with
intelligence. conscience and idealism
which holds steadfastly to the equality

War Department Reused
By Criticisms of Ax111y

The public naturally expects better
things OF the present administration
that OF the previous administrat tons.
The people have put you In power TO
improve conditions. The evils that
have grown up In the military depart
ment Of this government have been
fostered and encouraged by the
RooseveltTaft administrations. The
Appeal does not hold your administra-
ton responsible for these evils. IL
does expect you to end them. But II
after these grave abuses have been
called to the attention Of your depart
ment. you make no effort TO correct
them. but on the contrary, proceed
to suppress, by arbitrary power. the
only paper In the country that dares
to tell the truth about these particular
evils. then In the public mind Presi-
dent Wilson and the responsible men,
bers OF his cabinet will be put In the
same class with Taft.

II reached the senate that body reced-

II was thereupon maintained by the
Democratic leaders that the senate's
action automatically struck out both
amendments, inasmuch az the house
amendment was supplementary to the
Clarke amendment, and the house,
without record vote, quietly struck
1t down. The only man In the house
