GOOD ROAD BoOsTING.

IOOD 1lOAD 6OOSIlNG.
Good road boosting is one of the
pastimes, as well as occupations. of
many Kansas people. For years Kan
sas has been in the good roads work
and has been afflicted with a multi
plicity of good roads organizations.
However, all these organizations have
had IL part in the creation of the pub
lie opinion that brought the good
roads. Now the nation is facing a like
situation. Soon the national good
road congress will meet in Detroit. In
this meeting will convene members
of three or four national good roads
organizations and highway associa-
lions. When one reads the program
he wonders If the end desired will
not be lost in the petty riyalries of
the competing associations. There is
a Lincoln Highway association, back
ing particular project for a coast to
coast road, and a National Highways
association, fathering a project en-
bracing half dozen main highways
and trunk lines across the continent,
with lateral highways north and
south. One task of the congress will
be to prevent the rivalries of these
conflicting projects from injuring the
good roads cause as a whole. A good
many movements get lost in the in
tricacies of the organizations purport-
ing to boost them. Too often off
GERS of these societies lose sight of
the real end in their interest in maxi
hoped the good road movement ma
tionally will not be handicapped by a
multiplicity of associations Differed
by men whose chief aim is to secure
and retain good jobs for themselves

DIAZ AND HUERTA
Por1ir1o Diaz may may not have
been the meanest man in Mexico in his
time, but he certainly was the ablest ruler
Mexico has known since her troubled race
began. Whether blood will tell enough to
give his nephew, Felix Diaz similar ex-
ecutive ability, there may be no way OF
knowing Again, we may learn in time
for the younger Diaz is still nursing his
ambition to become president of Mexico
He may or may not land, politics being

Dfazs faults may be, he has at least
fought in the open. He led an uprising at
Vera Cruz which certainly was forlorn

at Mexico City when 1t looked doubtful IL
he had an even break. He might not have
done SO well but for the treachery OF
Huerta, but he will be honored at least as
one who wasn't afraid to take a risk. His
standards are un-AmeTican and his am
