SHALL THE UNITED STATES
BUILD HIGHWAYS.

1T is a question which is slowly but
surely forcing itself upon the national
legislature. Many senators and repre-
Sentativcs now believe that the building
of Il system of national highways is of
more economic Importance than any
other public work-more vital than the
question of a large navy, more useful
than any river and harbor Improvement.
more necessary than the Panama canal.
For highways are built and owned by
the people and are free to all the peO-
pie. A few years ago a rOad bill had
short shrift in cOngress-at present
there are nearly a hundred bills before
congress dealing with road building III
one form or another.
Although the good roads" idea has
been gathering force and Roadway for
many years, its advocates are still pull
ing in many directions. Some road as
sOciatiOnS want state highways with
national aid. Others want state high
ways without national aid. Still others
want good roads paid for by the coun-
ties through which they pass, without
any aid. One. at least, believes firmly
that the question is not only one for
states. counties. cities and towns, but
for the nation.
The National Highways Association
believes that the beginning of a cOmprc-
hensive good road system for the nation
must be made by the federal government.
Such a system consists of fifty thou
sand miles Of national highways. 1t is
not intendede that this should represent
the entire good road system needed by
the United States. 1t is merely a ten
tatiyc suggestion of the national systenl
Of national highways. from whwich good
roads built by states, by counties, and by
cities and towns, would grow and null

RECOGNIZED Bye MANY NATIONS.
Tulsa, Okla, FeL. c2.-The Eighth In
ternational Dry Farming Congress and
Soil Products Exposition is being her
aided throughout the world as the most
important agricultural convention even
held. Fifty thousand people are ex-
pected in Tulsa in October. Exhibits of
farm products will be shown from Drac-
tically ever state and from twenty ma
tons. The state of Arkansas has ap-
prOpriated $4,000 with which to collect
and send an exhibit. Missouri and Kan
sas legislatures have appropriated $1,000
each for similar purposes and bills are
now pending in half a dozen other
states. Oklahoma will appropriate
$4,000 for a kaffir corn palace. Con
gress and the Canadian parliament have
each been asked for S25.0 ZOO for special
government exhibits and the city of
Tulsa will spend 100000 in the erection
of special buildings and entertainment.
Russia, Mexico and China have already
made requests for exposition space, and
delegates are expected from as far away
as Australia. Some of them will travel
entirely around the earth in going and
coming from Tulsa this fall and will
spend nearly four months on the
journey.

1t is not at all probable that the
Huerta government will summarily kill
Madero. If he is put to death there will
at least be some formal trial resulting in
a verdict of some tribunal more or less
legally constituted. If Madero is put
to death it will be under protest of most
of the civilized nations. Perhaps. the
of protest. but with nations as with men,
public sentiment usually has some
weight.
