Government, yet it is certainly worth some atten-
ion.
Mr. Bourne would have a billion dollars used
to build new roads, and two billions to MAINTAIN
them for the next fifty years. To raise this money
he would have the States issue their ffty-year
per cent bonds. each for its proportonate share
of the total fund.- and deposit them in the National
Treasury. Holding these as its security, the
National Government would in turn issue its own s
per cent bonds for fifty years, and use the money to
build and maintain the roads.
The States would be paying in per cent interest,
while the Government would be paying out only
per cent This difference of per cent invested and
compounded annually, would in the fifty-year life OF
the bonds reach 100 per cent, that is, their face
value so when they fell due they would be paid Oft
from this fund.- instead of by the States.
The plan, in short, means that roads would be
built on per cent basis, and the loan would
amortise itself in fifty years. Certainly cheaper
plan could not be devised. Financially, there IS little
doubt that it would work. Three per cent Govern
ment bonds, exempted from taxation, would sell
readily enough. The question which remains is the
very practical one of whether Nation and States
could be brought together in the rather intricate
arrangement for handling the affair. Mr. Bourne
makes every possible concession to the sensbilities
of the States, by leaving the general business Of
building and management to the States. He does,
however, provide for National School of Highway
and Bridge Engineering, to train men for the prac-
teal engineering work.
If this were definitely established as sovereign
nation, instead of federation of one major and
fory-eight minor sovereigntes this plan would work
Perhaps in time the waste and inefficiency incident
to our diffusion of power and responsibility, as
illustrated in this and numerous other matters will
convince the country that central Government with
authority to govern is the thing we need.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CLERKS.

President Wilson is looking into the Facts about
the salaries working conditions, etc. of the Govern
ment's employees in Washington. He proposes to
know the facts before he recommends any action.
That is exactly what the army of Government
workers in this town asks If the President will
learn the facts he will recommend the thing that
ought to be done. He will not have difficulty in u-
derstandng the merits of the case. Nobody else
would who would take the trouble to study the facts.
The one great difficulty in getting attention to and
action upon the case of the Government employees,
is the unwllngness of people who ought to do it, to
give the time and attention necessary to understand
what it is all about Clerks in the Washington de-
patments who live on less than rural free delivery
carriers are paid; who occupy positions for which
the salary schedule has not been revised in sixty
years. while the wages of rural carriers advanced
every session or two; who must pay city prices in
stead Of country prices; who find themselves every
year nearer to the lowest subsistence level-these
faithful employees entitled to have their
amined and understood by somebody in position to
help them. They ask nothing more than that

ARCHIBALD CASE-AND AFTER.

William p. Boland, of Scranton, Pa, was the
most important witness before the Senate in the
trial of Robert Archibald, judge of the Commerce
Court who was convicted and removed from office
Mr. Boland has charged that he is being systematic
ally punished by combination of political business
and other powers in Pennsylvania for the part he
look in that affair.
There is reason to believe Mr.. Boland has good
deal of ground for this charge.
If it is true, then the people and interests that
have undertaken this course have placed themselves
in contempt of the Senate a court. The Senate in
that capacity ought have, and doubtless has power
to punish persons thus guilty of contempt.
The accusations which have been made in this
connection are of such gravity that they demand in
vestiga:on through some proper committee of the
Senate, and if they established, drastic action
should follow.
The most impressive judicial procedure this
country knows is that of impeachment by the House
and trial by the Senate. If its effect may be mega
tved by methods of political and business terrorism
this expensive and elaborate procedure, presumed to
be invested with the highest dignity and the utmost
sacredness, is made by-word and a mockery.

THE PRESIDENT AND CURRENCY.

The report that the President is, in effect writing
banking and currency reform bill of his own which
in due time he will call Congress to pass, will
not cheer statesmen who want the patronage pie
hurried down the table.
They will foresee the probability of another
hod-up, pending the delivery of their votes on the
Administration side of the question.
Still, if the proper utilization of few thousand
postmasters commissions can result in getting quick
and responsible action on two such questions as tariff
and currency, there will be some satisfaction in it.

THE BOURNE ROAD PLAN.

Former Senator Bourne, who is chairman of the

she had made her home for
several years before her marri-
age. She was the oldest daugh-

er Of Diamond and was "a years
old. A baby daughter was born
to them on the 14th of last month

effect that all were well. Satur-

two daughters, Misses Minnie
and Rosa, left the home at
Diamond for Burns, the young
ladies' being enroute to visit their

the funeral. There is universal
sorrow expressed among the
many friends of Burns and

member of the local Rebekah
