of nation cannot reap their full
reward until government utilizes all
the Observation-Disclosures for their full and
free development. 1t therefore be-
comes the highest duty of govern
ment to aid in securing to the individ
wal citizen the greatest possible meas
ure of success and prosperity, by un-
dertaking all those works of general
internal improvement through which
the natural resources of the country
can be made to contribute to the ma
terial welfare of its people. OF these
Improvement projects, none seem to
stand out more pre-eminent than our
public road system; it involves the
public transportation problem; direct
ly affects the costs and pleasures of
living: the exchange of commodities;
the valuation of properties; the So
Cia and educational welfare of our
citizens -yea-even th0 thought Of
the nation.
Therefore. the development OF our
public road system by the various
governmental units as a vital factor
to our progress and self preservation
is necessity to the success of our
prcsent-day civilization.

Nearly every American citizen be-
Iieves that the paramount economic
sue before the people of this coun-
try today is improvement of its pub
lie roads. They are interested in this
question because they recognize that
the public road is one of the few great
instrumentalities of public life with
which the government is concerned.
The functions of government are to
secure peace. prosperity and happi-
ness to its citizens. The happiness
of a people depends primarily on the
prosperity of that people The pros
perity of a people depends directly

regulation. So, the subject of high
way improvement may be viewed from
somewhat the same standpoint. SO
long as the highway is the instru-
mentality of purely local use, il Is
subject only to local control, and it
should be improved at local expense.
SO long as it is a matter of merely
state interest, its use being principally
confined to the borders of the state,
its Improvement and maintenance is
a question of state interest; but VIXEN
the general use of the highway, either
for the purpose of interstate com
merce or travel, or for military or
post office purposes, becomes inter
state or national in character then
the Improvement of that highway and
its proper maintenance comes within
the sphere of action of the national
government and becomes a matet rof
interest to the people of the whole
country, justifying the use and en-
plOyment of the national revenues and
resources for its Improvement and de-
velopment.
We may learn much on this sub
iect from the development of the rail
road systems of the United States. We
can all remember the time when rail
roads, chartered by the state, owned
and controlled by state corporations,
were regarded as subject to the con
troll of the state. but since 1887 when
the interstate commerce commission
was established. its powers have de-
VelOpCd and the necessity for its ac
tion has been expanded to point
that today no one regards the great
railway systems of this country as
in any sense local institutions, but
il is recognized that they are the
instrumentaities of interstate com
merce and should be controlled and
regulated by the national government
in the exercise Of its power to regu'
late such commerce.
A highway, such as the Border
Land Road. or the Puget Sound to the
Gulf Road, extending through the
thickly populated centers of seven
or eight state, is not a matter of To-
cal interest any more than a great
system of steam railroads, but any
person using that highway, by MOTOR
car or otherwise, is engaged in inter,
state transportation or communica-
ton. and is and should be the subiec,

be built fr0n national revenues and

In view of these conditions, it

Double Header Today in Waycross

popular among the local fans as well
as all over the circuit, but his con-
tinuous kicking is not only costing
Brunswick ball games, but is working
other hardships on the club. We know
that that fellow Campbell is entirely
incompetent as a baseball umpire
we know, too, that Kalmon is keeping
him almost continuously behind the
Brunswick or Cordele teams, in an eff
fort to lose ball games for these two
clubs. We know that Jordan had a
right to kick on that decision yester-
day, which resulted in the umpire
firing him from the game, which I'M
doubtedly cost Brunswick another ball
game. If there was anything to be
gained by continuous kicking, why
the fans would say to him, kick all
you please; but, when there is every
thing to lose and nothing to gain, it is
time to cut it out. The very idea of
e manager being put out of the game
with a 90 score in the fifth inning; it
will demoralize any ball club and at
the same time disgust the fans.
1t is unfortunate indeed that the fast
Georgia State league has a president
who is absolutely so bent on winning
pennant for his home town that
he keeps man like this Campbell On
his umpiring staff, and further than
that he had never had him umpire in
Americas, but has, on almost every
occasion, kept him with Brunswick
or Cordele. But Kalmon is doing that
and other things, too, and the only
thing for Jordan to do is to play ball,
and cut out that everlasting kicking.
Had he done that yesterday Brunswick
would have won ball game.
We like you, Otto we think you a
fine manager, a clever fellow and a
great ball player, but the fans of the
league are paying their money to see
baseball; objecting to a decision is
alright, but cut out that continuous
kicking. ....-.

his hand badly in his mill with Sam

ed for the fourth time with Joe RiV-
ers. Rivers sent word to McCarey he
was too ill to go through with the
match, and asked that the contest be
put back two months. AS Tillman,
who gave Ad Wolgast such lacing

McCarey signed him up for tomorrow

RAIN BREAKS Up FIRST
GAME IN WAYCR0SS

A thunder storm with downfall Of
rain that rivalled a cloudburst broke
loose in Waycross yesterday just be-
fore time for the first time of the
MoguI- Muckalee series and the game
was called off. At one time it looked
like the rain would check, but just as
the skies were beginning to smile
the downpour broke loose once more
and put the kibosh on the prospects.
A double header will be played to-
day. Manager Castor will use Zapke
in the first and Geary in the second.
Coveney will probably pitch Antley
and Anderson, two southpaws, against
the Mucvkalees.
Wednesday the Muckalees open in
Brunswick for two games with the
Pilots. Yesterdays rest will do the
boys under Davie good, but today s
double header and a night jump will
leave them in poor shape for the
Brunswick series. Pratt opens in the
seaside burg and Zapke follows him in
Thursdays game.

New IMMIGRANT Record
Chicago 2, Buffalo 7.

Owing to the great influx of Euro
pean born men and women to the
United States, the population of this
country is growing by leaps and
bounds. During the fiscal year which
ended June 30th, the total number of
immigrants reached 1,254,54S, approx
imately 10000 more than in any othec
year in the history of the country
Italy was far ahead of all other ma
lions in the number of emigrants; Po-
land came next. With the exception
of China, England and Russia, there
was an increase of immigrants from
every recognized nation in the world,
these three showing a light falling off.
New York city, as the largest seaport
of the United States is the reception
pert of the greatest percentage OF
these potential citizens. On some
days as many as five thousand pass
inspection at the U. S. Immigrant sta
ton at Ellis Island. The dining room
at the station has a capacity of twelve
hundred and detained immigrants are
fed there at the expense of the steam
ship companies. Many hundred are
deported annually, and hundred of
thousands return to their native lana,
but the net increase in population is
over 100000 annually.
