Federal Highway System.

There are several important bills
pending before Congress. providing
for the building CT good roads with
money from the United States trees
ury.
1t will be a good way to invest
government funds. Good roads are
necessary. The good roads movement
has agitated public men in many
states. They provide the means for
the farmer to move his crops. they
facilitate the rural delivery system
and they will be OF great aid TO the
Postoffice Department In extending
the parcel post deliveries.
Money In the treasury lies idle.

that the public may be benefited.

that the public may be benefited.
There is but little difference in
these bills. All seek the same given
goal. All provide for the extension
of highways and call upon the gov
, eminent to contribute to such ex-
tensions. States will cooperate. II
is not expected that the Government
can do 1t all.
There was time, back manyyears
before the railroads formed a web
over the country, when pest roads
were kept up by the government.
There were in those days no tsie-
phone, telegraph or railroads. The
only means by which the mail of
the country could be distributed was
by horse and coach. Roads were nee
essary then and they are necessary
today.
The introduction of the automo-
bie has also been an incentive for
building good roads. Some time in
the future-and 1t Is hoped no dis
tant time-a national highway will
be buil' stretching from ocean to oc-
can. Such seneme has been dis
cussed for some time. 1t is not only
possible. but probable. The states
through which such highway will
pass will, no doubt, do their share
oward building roads.
The usual form provided for in
he pending bills is to pro-rate the
Mileage among the states, accord
ng to their total highway mileage,
Or of population less the population
Of the cities. Great care is taken
hat the distribution of the road mil
age built with federal money shall
not be in proportion to the amount
hat the states pay in federal taxes,
)ut that New York, Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania and Illinois and other
Itch states shall bear the major I0r-
ion of the expenses and that Miss
ssippi. Arkansas, Tennessee and 9TH
r states Of large area shall get the
major portion OF the reads.
This is as it should be. The
wealthy states are in a better po-
sition to build and maintain roads,
llthoush they are not so badly need
I'd as they are in the poorer states.
This will be one of the important
matters to be disposed of by Con-
yress durins the present session.

Lobby Committees Report.

The report of the house committee
that investigated a charge that an
insidious lobby, the worst in his
tory" was working at the capitol
to prevent the enactment of tariff
Hesitation is mild and cautious. The
main charge is ignored, as might
have been expected. The proof show
ed little actively except on the part
of the beet sugar interests, which
were threatened with extinction by
the Underwood bill. Their activity
was balanced by that OF the sugar
importers, who worked for the bill.
The report deals almost entirely with
the lurid charges made in a $4,000
confession to New York paper by
a former cinploye of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, which
did not concern the recent tariff re-
vision at all, but dealt with public
men and measures of the past. The
committee exonerates all individuals
implicated in the Mulhall exposure
with the exception of Representative
John A. McDermont, a Democratic
congressman from Illinois. And he
is accused only of "acts of grave i'm
propriety, unbecoming the dignity Of
the distinguished position he occupies.
The report adds: THAT which a pri-
vate citizen may do with IMMUNITY
most frequently be shuned by one in
an official position"
But the committee was not ready
to throw this mantle OF charity over
ex-Representative James e. Watson.
He was censured for representing,
following his retirement from Con-
gress,the National Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION at the capital. 1t charges
him with conduct Of"doubtful pro-
priety when he capitalized his in
fiuence with congress members" The
committee showed gross carelossnes
in dealing with fact when it says
that Mr.. Watson was thus employ
ed during the passage of til Payne
Asdrioh tariff bill. Mr.. Watson was
a member Of congress at the time
and according to all the evidence
was not in the pay Of any association
Mu all went back on the stand to
the statement that Mr.. Wat
son had been employed while aa mem
Der OF Congress. following a threat
Of criminal prosecution for libel.
Further testimony supported Mr..
Watson's contentious. Whether for
mer members of congress shall ap-
pear before committee or members OF
Congress as paid agents of individu-
ais or associations is a matter OF
Taste. Their effectiveness depends on
the attitude members of Congress
AXE toward them. The practice is
growing in disfavor.

between good lobbyists and bad ones.

~ ATHER, If you will, from the side OF the
1T path, in the very first tuft that you see
blade of any grass, and you will lnd
at work a little independent, untirng unex-
pected intelligence. Here are two poor little
creeping plants that you have seen a thousand
times on your walks, for they are found every
where, even in the tiniest crannes into which
bit of dust has been blown. They are two
varieties OF wild lucern, two bad weeds In the
most modest sense Of the word.
One bears a red blossom, the other yellow
crest the size of pea. When you see them
among the other plants. you would hardly
think that they, long before the llustrious
geometrician and physician Of Syracuse had
discovered and tried to apply, not to the rails
Ing Of liquids, but to aviation, the astonish-
ing properties OF the power of Archimedcs.
They place their seeds in light spiral envel-
opes, with three or four turns, admirably con-
structed, when figuring upon their falling and
being picked up by the wind, to be whrled :.
long distance in the air.
One of these, the yellow one, has even i'm
proved upon the apparatus Of the red one, by
furnishing the edges of the spiral with a
double row of points, with the plain intention
of attaching itself to any passer-by, by the
clothing Of humans, the hair and wool of
