The Estimates.

The estimates for the support of
the government for the next fiscal
year, are large" says the Washington
Star in discussing the matter from n
Republican standpoint. The Star then
gives the following editorial opinion
Of the situation:
But We have to consider a situa-
ton, not OF our own creation, nor
created expressly for us, but grow
ing out OF commotion affecting all
tho world. We are called upon to
pay money penalty for our place
among the nations-for being alive
and hourishing. And, large as the
amount is, we should arrange for II
without hesitation or dickering.
The demand for money comes
from two sources-the usual, and the
unusual. As to the usual source, Il
may be said that the amount would
have beon largo IL no war had broken
out. Our development has been re-
markable. Tho governmental affairs
OF hundred million people cannot
be conducted on skinny scale. In
self-defense, as Il were, wo must pro-
vide well for an establishment which
covers much, and touches In some
measure the comfort and welfare of
all. Every department of tho govern
ment has claim TO liberal support
at the hands of Congress.
The unusual source relates, of
course, TO the war. The European
horror has shown us what wo must
do to escape u similar experience.
Our lighting machine has been
brought into light which makes IL
look Insignificant. If not contemplate.
IL must be enlarged and strengthened
In the interest OF the national safety.
Army and navy experts have at
last secured hearing; and politi-
clans, educators, churchmen, profess
sional men and business men In num-
bers are warmly advocating an ado-
quate national defense. If the amount
Is large IL IL to be remembered that
the neglect has been long. Had we
made as we should have done, the
proper appropriations in years past
we shouldNnot today be confronted
with "A bill which is giving the mil
lennialists the text for their dis
courses.
Better continue to pile them high
within reason, of course-than re-
duce them as political play for
votes next year. The people know
the difference between economy and
cheese pairing, and would resent the
latter at the polls"

"The American people must acquire
the habit Of looking into the evidence"
said President Arthur T. Hadley OF
Yale In his matriculation sermon at
Woolsey hall.
I'VE must stop buying the news
paper that tells what we wish was
true and buy the one that tells what
really Is. We must refuse to repeat
improved gossip or scandal because
we like It. This will soon grow into
the habit Of not liking Il. We shall
learn TO hate the unconscious lie az
well as the international one. There
may sometimes be a question whether
we should tell the truth to others
who cannot see Il or understand It;
there should be no question at all
that we should tell Il to ourselves.
And when a man was learned to tell
the truth to himself the problem OF
telling Il to others becomes compar-
atively easy. The whole fabric OF
American society rests on the as
sumption that we are going TO be
honest I'm our dealings"

That's very high ratio I'm such a sit

You also should be surprised to

by the fact that two OF the best ideas
we have had sent into us touching
upon offensive warfare have come, one
from bank president and another
from young messenger boy who has

Good Roads Measure Of Preparedness

That military preparedness for de-
Tense includes extensive roads con-
ctruction, viewed from the stand
point OF the country as whole. Is
made apparent in sentiment which
comes from the Atlantic seacoast
. the Pacific slope. and even the Gulf
OF Mexico.
Recently the Alabama legislature
unanimously passed Joint resolution
prepared by John Craft OF the state
highway depar ,.nent. and OF course
assented TO by Governor Henderson,
which calls upon the president and
congress OF ine United States, ito
take such steps as In their wisdom ap-
pears to be most expedient to bring
about at the earliest possible moment

preamble, that "a great war now be-

the resolutions adopted was one I'm

other national highways. to be used
as military and commercial high
ways" e.
Earlier In the year at "A meeting of
the Maine Automobile Association
the chairman OF the state highway
commission contended that the first
federal money spent in that state
should be in connection with a sys-
tenn of roads paralleling the coast. TO
serve particularly In case of military
necessity.
AT the October meeting OF the exc
cutive board of the American Auto
mobile Association, with President ].
A. Wilson presiding, a resolution was
passed at the suggestion OF Chairman
Diehl OF It's national good roads board.
that the A. A. A. respectfully asks
the congress in its consideration of
federal aid in good roads to the sew
eral states, to bear in mind that high
ways constructed in seacoast and bor-
der states should possess a relation
ship to the military preparedness of
the country which is demanding such
widespread attention"
The state and the local clubs of the
American Automobile Association are
calling TO the attention OF their rep
resentatives in congress this action
OF the national automobile body. and
also asking that bill shall be pass
ed providing for an annual federal
appropriation, divided among the sew
eral states on the basis Of area, popu-
iation, and road mileage, to be sup
plemented by like amount of money
from the states, and the total to be
expended on post and military roads

He bent closer. and fingered the

his legs, and tying them behind in a
series of peculiar knots.
The officers eyes went wide with
surprise. That's it, exactly" he ex-
claimed. 81 never saw anything like

Poe volunteered no explanation to
the awed group around him; but he
did smile to himself as he glSmpsed
the cashiers interest.
He took the broken bucket used
by the woman whose body had disap-
peared, wrapped it into neat parcel,
turned to the cashier, and extended
his hand in good-by.
But you couldn't have formed any
theory in such short time," exclaimed
Cribben. "Why, you haven't any clue
outside Of the scrub-woman's disap-
pearance. She was probably killed
and carried away, to shift suspi-
cion.."
Probably" answered Poe, the

bit Of that rope with me, and the
pieces of that bucket may be able

Without further comment, he bow

South station he sent the following

The electric signal service was next
discussed.
THE thief himself must have sent
in the signal at exactly the minute
the bank door was usually closed"
said Poe, for Beggs was bound and
gagged at fve-tive. AS the electric
signal sheet composed the last eighthof
an inch through which he drilled, it
seems quite plausible that the alarm
did not work because he drilled
through that plate before five-fifteen,
before the alarm was set. All OF

with the bank did the work. Could

that, answered John Beggs, who had

my round at five; nobody here then"
Poe requested two clerks to take
the positions of the scrub-women, and
had Beggs stand on the spot where he
had been attacked. After that Poe
walked back and forth, twisting his
lips with tense fingers, and .glancing
up sharply from beneath his heavy
brown brows, sensing the situation.
Finally, giving a satisfied little
grunt, he asked to- have Beggs tied as
he had been when found.
The policeman who liberated Beggs
was at hand, and proceeded to initiate
the manner of tying.
Poe picked up an end of the rope
idly, and made a casual examination;
then he drew out his knife and snip
ped off a bit of it, which he placed
carefully in his vest-pocket, as ne
