other action on their part might have prevented.
 Every growing town and city in the South needs to improve and keep on improving every day and every year it's provis- ions for sanitation and health. These include all such things as waterworks, sewerage sys- tems and we'll paved streets. The field is almost limitless. No wiser investment can be made by people than the money spent, when it is honestly expended, for public works of this kind. These improvements mean ma- terial progress, they mean bet ter conditions of living, better environment for young and old, and better health and longer lives for the people. It is es- pecially important, therefore, that the authorities of every community in the South should study the situation in the light of present conditions when mon- ey for such work is becoming more abundant and when the la bor available for it is in great supply. Moreover, the very do- ing of these things and the em- ployment of labor in works of this kind would stimulate all business interests and largely help in bringing about that gen. eral prosperity for which all are looking and hoping. This is the South's day of opportunity for work of this kind. If the au- thorities of Southern communi- ties are not alive to the situation the people whose interests are at stake ought to see that they are awakened promptly.-Manu- lecturers Record.

Fighting The Floods In China. In California the caluculated loss of $2,0O0,000 from recent floods is more than offset by the prospective gain from the in- creased products of the inun- dated land; but when the Yel- low river, "China's sorrow, rises in it's might and sweeps away 300 villages and makes a million persons homeless, in a densely populated region, no ag- ricultural advantage can coun- tervail the loss of life and prop erty. Pestilence and famine are the inevitable sequel.
 During the floods of three years ago, the worst for four decades, the Yangtze, 250 miles from the sea, was forty miles in width. In Ngan-hwei and Xii ang-su provinces the crops were destroyed for the third time in five years. In seven provinces some 600,0O0 families were &C., tually perishing as the result of the flood and the famine.
 Such appalling catastrophes explain the eagerness of the present Chinese government to devise means of preventing the

Time For Good Roads Action.
 As indicated by the success full and enthusiastic Good Roads meeting held last night, Fort Smith and other towns along the Western border of Arkan- sas mean to be in line waiting 1 for that government appropria- ton as soon as it shall have been made available.
 These towns are scheduled on one of the best organized routes for national highways to be found in the country and there should be no trouble in getting quick action. It is expected that first attention, other things be- ing equal, will be given to through routes. The Canada-to- the-Gulf route is such a one. 1t l is the main north and south line 1 in the tentative scheme of the national highways association. lit will carry the traffic to the gulf of all that country north of Kansas City extending west to the Pacific and as far east as Chicago. It is the making of a grand highway beside which the famous Appian way of the Roman empire will be insignif- icant except in the matter of ex- cellence and permanence of con- struction. We might as we'll admit that we have not learned how to build roads that are bet ter than those the Romans built, at least in the item of perman- ence.
 The meeting of last night O. pened the way for the western portion of Arkansas to get on the highway map of the na- tion. Let us hope that every town and county represented
 (and that means everything be- tween Texarkana and the northern state line) will get energetically busy with organi- zation.-Fort Smith Times-Re- cord.

pal securities should be taken advantage of promptly by Sou- thern communities which are contemplating the issuing of bonds for public work. A vast amount of county, city and mum icipal improvements of every kind is needed in the South, for which bonds must be issued. At the present time there is bet ter market for such securities, and coincident with this abili- ty to get money there is a sur plus of labor available, and man. ufacturers of machinery and e. ouipment are in position to fill orders to better advantage than would be possible if all business interests were active. The con- dition, therefore, is exception ally favorable for the prosecu- tion of public work.
 Throughout all parts of the South and Southwest roads are to be built, new streets made and old streets improved, sewerage systems and waterworks are to be constructed or enlarged, and public buildings erected. While it is desirable, and often import ant, that public buildings should be ornate and in keeping with the life of the community, it is especially important that they should be absolutely fireproof. Every court house and every city hall ought to be so well constructed as to make thor oughly safe public records of all kinds. These things are inn portant. But the construction of the most modern sewerage systems, and of waterworks to guarantee an ample supply of pure water, and the building of good roads and the paving of streets and alleys are even more important. These all take hold of the essential things the health of the community. There is no greater economic waste fitness than that which by req son of false economy prevents municipalities from providing pure water, the most sanitary sewerage system and well-pav- ed streets and alleys, which make possible city cleanliness. Every illness and every death brought about by failure to do these things is an economic loss due to the blundering of incom- petent officials, and this with
 out considering the sorrow and
 suffering brought by the ill-
 ness and the deaths which bet ter sanitary conditions would
 have prevented. The men in
 any community who, from a
 narrow and miserly point of
 view, delay the improvements
 of this kind, which are essential
 to the health of a community
 as we'll as to it's progress are
 responsible for sickness which
