Divorce Politics from the State
Highways.

Fvnosrres of highway graft made by District At
.,,o,, whitman and James w Osborne, the Gov
ernor's investigator, amply warrant the naming ol

failing the highway grafters. If Governor Oyhh

and should not be appointed, probably Mr. OSBORNE
is as good man as any TO have the designation DIS

likely to be-was so much better than anything

hungry Democrats came into power under Dix and
promptly grabbed the Highways Department rs
patronage and all the road contracts and other ex-
penditures Of the department as politicians per
ouIsites. They had made the department political
affair with no minority party representation in the
board. 1t happened also that there was not even
ordinary vigilance to prevent politicians loot

THE STIGMA ATTACHED TO HOUSE.
WORK
A Sensible Housekeeper Perceives the
Fact and Asks for Remedy

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS a housekeeper Of more than a
quarter of a century's experience, |
should like to add word to the discus
sion about domestic servants in your
columns.
In ninety cases out Of hundred l
think the workers themselves would ac-
knowledge that they are the best housed
best paid and that they have the easiest
work of almost any employees, and that
the reason this business is in disrepute
is merely on account of the social stigma
which for some reason is attached TO it,
Owing TO this absurd stigma young peo-
pie have less opportunity of marriage
when engaged In domestic service. and
they object to not having every evening
free. Hence the business attracts few
who are not incompetents. and incompe-
tents are frequently grumblers and fault
finders.
Can We not do something to remedy this
unfortunate condition?

Of CONGRESS
THE HIGHWAY COMM SS!ONER
is URGING coNGREssMEN TO
ADOPT HIS PLAN.

State Highway Commissioners Sid
ney Suggs is not leaving one stone
unturned in his campaign for good
roads He is now bombarding mem
bers of congress with letters to as
certain how they stand on the mat
ter of federal aid and to urge that
his plan for system of national
highways be adopted by congress.
In an editorial today taken from
a Pittsburg oil journal The Ard
moreite publishes a suggestion that
the first class postage rate remain
as it is and the profit accruing be
used in the building of roads The
movement for federal aid is well
under way and if every state could
have a man like Sidney Suggs, with
his undaunting enthusiasm and new
er firing persistence, to get in be
hind the movement, congress could
not breathe easily until a plan has
been worked out whereby the gov
ernment would build system of
national highways and the state and
counties and precincts could then
build their laterals and the nation
would then be network of roads
that could be Travelled in any kind
Of 1pttnv
United States Senator Moses e.
Clapp which plainly states his po-
sttion on the question of national
highways
washington, January Is. 1914.
Dear Suggs:
Yours of the 10Th inst is re-
ceiyed. You are right am in
favor Of good roads. In fact, | am
one of those who believe that gov
crnment was created not for the
sake of the government, but by the
people for their iwn use, and there
could he no excuse for government
except the service, moral and ma
tCrial. which is rendered to those
who participate in It.
Nov, of course, by the latter
part of March we will probably be
in the midst of our general legis-
lation here While our democratic
friends were framing tariff and
banking bills. we did not have so
much to do, but in the general leg
islation the committees of which
| am a member will have a great
deal to do, and it is doubtful wheth-
er l could get out TO indianapolis
in March, but my absence should
not be taken as any lessening of my
interest in the subject
Since Oklahoma became state
l have not seen very much of you
people and have often wished that
something would bring you to Wash
ington.
With kind regards, | am,
Sincerely yours,
MOSES E CLAPP."
