A little old last years rain gave
Blanks hard working H~ighlanders a
Well-earned rest yesterday and robbed
the fans of a chance to see. their
pride engaged in sham battle. In true
April fashion the sky that had been
blue II hours before. poured buckets
of rain, worth their weight in golf in
that tabled land where the fires never
go out, down on a city that didn't need
a bit of moisture. The rain started
just before noon, lasted until the prac-
tce had been postponed and then quit.
However (comma) the weather man
promises sunny weather today and the
Peerless Leader announces that h.

the sunshine mixer fulfills his part of

he refused to rehearse any of his old

tickled To death at the sight of tho
shower. Not tina they haven't en-

Oh, NO. They like the heat as wen
as does the next man, but they can't

GOOD ROADS. WHOSE BUSINESS
Is IT?

The majority of our home read
ers doubtless will have learned by
thi, time that The Press was
elected as an Unofficial paper by
our worthy and honorable board
of county commissioners, sitting
in regular annual January session.
All which would lead some people
to presume that, in the natural
order of things, The Press would
begin pitching in" to the powers
that be, by exposing this, along
with other shortcomings of our
county dads;;" as, for instance,
their dereliction in the matter of
giving the river townships their
due proportion or share of the
county bridge and road funds.
But we fear such simple minded
folk would not like to see fight
of this kind which would expose
their own pdrttceps c,.iminis in the
matter Of providing and maintain
ing something which is primarily
for their own good, which brings
us to the conclusion that if Forest
City people had but a thimblefuI
of the civic enterprise that Gettys-

lty have, they would do some

tlnually waiting for the powers
that be to do what they can do
for themselves.
The above is to say that The
Press hopes to have more space
the coming year to devote to the
subject of good roads particular
larly as the matter concerns For
est City. We do not propose, tho,
to get up fight or controversy
about the matter to crafty any
body's delinquency. While we
are not going to relieve our county
commissioners of their duty in the
matter, at the same time we intend
to make that secondary to the ex-
isting responsibility of some other
''gude folk.
The cruz of the whole matter is
as to whether Forest City wants to
continue to be wedlocked to the
''leading strings of Gettysburg,
or some other "lnan higher up,'
or whether she will break lose
from such an inferior position, in
order to appropriate to herself the
many advantages that are hers.
1t would be all very we'll to lay
the responsibility for insufficient
roads on our board of co-commis-
sioncrs if the people of Forest
City have no higher aspirations in
the matter than to he content with
ONE ROAD - ONE avenue TO
the markets and other good things
of the broad world about her,-if
she has no further ambition than
to die of gout and old age!
Such ambition-less people would
have Forest City always continue
to have the stone wall Of an Indian
reservation to block her westward
progress and sphere of influence.
They have got possessed of the
stoicicism of Sitting Bull and
other like red men, who can see no
good in anything else than the
past Of their ancestors, or who are
afraid of any innovation which
has not been approved by some
political boss.
1t is plain proposition that
this town is in need of one GOOD
east and west road, at the hands of
our county commissioners which,
for 10! these thirty years they have
denied us--as provided by the laws
and statutes of the state: but we
have not learned that said code
anywhere contemplates that any
county commissioners are re-
quired OF expected to furnish
any community with ALL of the
roads and highways to which it is
entitled, by either it's location, OF
natural advantages. The laws
$ have provided other avenues than
county commissioners thru which
! a community may provide itself

Canoe Dangers.

The old experiment Of trying to change
seats in u canoe was tried on the Poto-
mae river near this city the other day,
with the usual result OF drowning. Ca
nOeists have been told over and over
again that this cannot be safely done, yet
they persist in trying 1t, and the coroner
is kept busy in consequence. and probably
there will always be work for him
through this particular form of folly.
The latest victim OF the seat-changing
accident could not swim. Yet he took a
chance on going from one seat to another,
and the frail craft tipped In a flash. There

Next years congressional elections
throughout the country should bring
every voter to the polls. The new demo-
cratic legislation will be on trial. and
those who indorse and those who con-

the ballot box. Will they do so in large
numbers? Judging by the performances
Of the past decade, who will be surprised

Compulsory voting has been advocated
on grounds somewhat similar to those
supporting compulsory school attendance.
But the two things are not alike.
Why not make election days. city. state
and national. holidays. SO that no bust
ness man would be able to plead busi-
ness as an excuse for absence from the
polls Then make both fishing and hunt
ing on election days penitentiary offenses,
and much of the difficulty would be
solved Give the voter leisure. and shut

The President and Congress

Senator Works joins IN the CRITICISM OF
President Wilson's course respecting Leg
isfation. He thinks the President goes
too far that the powers Of the presidency
should not be used to influence Congress
in the shaping OF it's measures. So do
others.
The President. under the Constitution,
makes recommendations to Congress on
the public welfare. This duty authorizes
him. makes it necessary for him, to have
policies In this way, and to this extent,
he Is leader.
He may even define his policies, make
them palmer. by submitting for the in
formation of Congress bills covering the
question discussed. For illustration, ha
might have sent along with his message
on the tariff a bill showing in detail how
i'm his judgment the Payne law should be
revised. While that would have been un-
precedented. 1t would not have been un-
constitutional or disrespectful to Con-
gress.
But the California senator and many
others hold that a President should not
go beyond recommendations: that he
should not follow the statements OF his
views with pressure of any kind on Con-
gress for their adoption by that body;
that it is for Congress to take the views
submitted. and, without dictation, act as
it thinks best.
We are hearing less about this matter
now than We may hear next year. The
topic may become very live one in the
contest for control of the next House.
1t is a growing topic. Mr.. Wilson is
credited with the tariff bill. 1t is expected
that he will put the final touches on the
currency bill. And the latest announce
ment is that he has q plan for remedying
the trust evil which he will urge upon
Congress at the regular session.
What the country will have before it
in the next campaign, therefore, will be
legislation, not by Congress, but more
largely than ever before by the Prest-
dent. 1t will be asked to pass upon the
leadership of Mr.. Wilson as he has assert
ed it by and with the consent of Con-
gress
If the legislation is successful and the
country prosperous, the issue may not at
tract attention. Nothing succeeds like
| success, and If the voters are enjoying q
good thing they will not become excited
about it's source. II the President has sup
| piled it all by himself. the greater will be
| his popularity.
But if the legislation fails, and wide
distress prevails, the condemnation Of the
Congress that abdicated its functions and
permitted the President to become "the
whole thing will be deep and emphatic.

Man Throws Off the Yoke.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.


There was q time not many years ago
when man, less afraid than now of becom-
Ing sartorially conspicuous. and having
more regard for comfort than style, sur
rendered cheerfully to the call of the white
suit in hot weather. He wore white clothes
unafraid. He gloried In their cool roomi-
ness and their quiet defiance of the SUM-
whitening attack. Then, like the birds
which go whittier no man knows, nor
why, the white suit disappeared from
mortal sight Instead came heavier stuff
and heavier discomfort. Man became a
slave to padded shoulders and thicker
fabrics. and he perspired accordingly. He
was ashamed Of white suits. and became
the slave Of tailored harbarities. But
glory be. There are signs that the com
Portable. sane linen suit Is again to have
Its day. Man has. already screwed up his
courage sufficiently to wear the highest
shades of tan. He has found by this ex-
pertinent that, instead of his being
mobbed as curiosity, others are taking
courage from him. Today the light, thin
suit is once more familiar on the streets.
