TIME FOR ACTION.

The Register and Leader reports
a meeting held within the last few
days at ColfaX by the river to river
representatives, and speaks of the
unbounded enthusiasm on the part
of the people for perfecting this
road at an early date. A res
oluton was unanimously passed that
the road should be made perman-
emily level road across the state and
in addition to commence to hard sur
face it. This means that the river to
river people, evidently intend to ac-
complish indirectly what they failed
to accomplish directly and try to win
the Lincoln highway to their route
by showing that they possess greater
enterprises than the people along the
trans-continental route.
If our people do not suddenly wake
up to the possibilities of losing the
Lincoln Highway they must not be
surprised if that disappointing thing
should takeplace. While we are lying
supinely upon our backs the river to
river people are on the alert and no
doubt have grounds for believing that
they will not only be rewarded in the
comforts of travel over the best route
but they will stand show for attract
ing the Lincoln highway to their route.
We earnestly urge that the CONNER.
cial club or some leaders in the Lin
coin highway movement through this
county will proceed at once to
call a mass meeting in order to
formulate plans to begin to do
something that will count, in
favor of the highway. We have
no right to shirk responsibility
and expect other communities to do
our work for us, it is up to us to do
something and do it promptly because
anything short of immediate action is
unworthy of US.

wealth depends in great measure upon
proper encourag cement to production
and the distribution of wealth in good
prices to farmers and good wages to
workingmen is obviously dependent in
the first instance upon the creation OF
wealth through profitable production
Profits on production depend large
ly on the extent and excellence of
available markets, and any sort of or.
binary business intelligence or politi-
cal intelligence ought to have OBJ
served the wisdom of increasing and
improving the markets for American
products.
In fact, the only kind of mind that
could not see the practical and senti-
mental, the material and human adj
vantage OF such policy would be that
type which believes itself to be the
medium for the direct transmission of
Divine instructions.
1t is certainly not incompatible with
any moral obligations to consider the
material welfare Of country and the
financial prosperity Of the individual
citizens.
The material prosperity of the peo-
pie is matter worthy of the atten-
ton and particularly of a democratic
administration, but Mr.. Wilson's pol
icies, no matter how inspired he may
believe them, should be executed with
due regard for the welfare of the ma
ton and Of the citizens.
Indeed, it would be we'll if Mr.. Will
son could realize that no one man is
doing Gods work on earth, but that
all men are doing it, in the place and
with the power that God has allotted
to them. that vox populi vox Del, that
all men are entitled to be heard, and
that the moral and material interests
of all are rightfully to be considered
and conserved.

SENATOR ROOTS ACHIEVEMENT

Senator Root of New York won one
of the two Noble Prizes, amounting
to $4,000 each and won it because
of his great ability and the splendid
manner in which he equitted himself
in representing our government in
two or three important respects. No
greater compliment could have been
paid to this distinguished citizen OF
New York than awarding him the
prize which was given him.
1t is. remarkable thing that this
gentleman has never disappointed
those who have depended upon him
in great emergencies. In all cases
when the affairs of state have been
submitted to him, he has always SOL
we'd them to the best interest of the
country His trip through the South
American republics few years ago,
in which he Strengthened out entangle-
ments which had developed, won over
the respect of those republics for our
government, and won for him the
praise of all patriotic citizens of this
country His services as a member
of the high commission to settle bound
ary diAplstes and other questions be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States attracted world wide attention.
His abiiity,while Secretary of War in
which a. complete reorganization OF
the military forces of the United
States was made and carried out prov
ed his wonderful ability as an organ
izer, and his services as Secretary of
State were such as to win for him
the reputation OF being the great
est secretary of State which the coun-
try has ever had.
When one comes to consider the
accomplishments of this great man
there can be no hesitation in adopting
the Sentiment expressed by Theodore
Roosevelt reinforced by hundreds
Of other leading American citizens
that Senator Root is the greatest liv-
ing American.
Those who witnessed the proceed
ings Of the last convention held in
Chicago over which he presided were
impressed with not only the greatness
OF the man, but with his absolute
fairness to point that the progress
ives and conservatives alike We'd with
each other in expressing their thanks
for the ability and fairness with which
he had presided over the convention.
There are those who suggest that
Senator Root should be the next re-
publican candidate for president OF
the United States and no one can
question, but what if he should be
fortunate enough to become president
of the United States that he would
make a record second to none in that
great office, but the difficulties in the
way of men of such superior ability
from becoming president are such that
it is doubtful if such result could
obtained. A man of such fearless
qualities of leadership arouses jealous
les which initiate against his sue
cess as candidate for the office, but,
nevertheless, if it should be the good
fortune of the country to secure the
services of this distinguished citizen
for oue term he would, no doubt, make
a record for accomplishment which
all patriotic Americans would view
with pride.

REMOVAL OF MRS. YOUNG.

The city of Chicago is all torn up
over the ruthless conduct of it's school
board in practically summarily dis
missing Mrs. Ella Flagg Young as
superintendent of the schools of Chi
cago. The suggestion is made that
trickery has been resOrted to in order
to bring about this result and that
Mayor Harrison himself was involved
in the maneuvers that caused the re-
movai of this distinguished woman,
as head of the Chicago schools. Al
though the Mayor emphatically denies
the charge and asserts that he is
in sympathy with the woman and
has since accepted the resig-
nation of several members OF the
board the impression still obtains
that it was political movement
and that the mayor was not quite as
innocent as he would have it appear.
One thing that makes it look as if
the matter had been cut and dried
is he fact that Mr.. Shoop, the man
that succeeds Mrs Young, was select
ed instantly after the action was TAX
en- which dispensed with Mrs. Young
as the head of the schools.
a meGI}nS vi lHe "oihSh
of Chicago was held on Saturday last
to protest against the action OF the
school board and to insist upon Mrs.
Young being restored to her former
position but whether the effort will
succeed or not remains a question,
The general opinion is that the Dem
ocrats on the board were not satisfied
to have a woman at the head OF the
schools and drawing a large salary
when the position could be filled by
a man connected with the democratic
organization in Chicago. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the game of politics some
times interferes with the welfare OF
the nublic schools and this seems to
)r,a an instance. because it is conceded
