GOSSIP OF THE PRESS

While the subject of good
roads has been widely ind ably
exploited, the courageous expo
nent of bad roads still remains
in the background. Why does
not some bold adEerent stand
forth? Can it be that anything
of which there is so much has
no real friends and stanch de-
tenders. ?-Little Falls Trans
cript.
The St. Cloud street depart
ment observed Good roads day
by dragging Fifth avenue, and
made a wonderful Improvement
in the roadway. The only re-
greet is that Good Roads day
comes only once a year.-St.
Cloud Journal-Press.
Good roads also make travel
easy for the money from the
stocking to the bank.-Luverne
Journal.
If you yearn to waste a few
hours time, you might endeavor
to think of one valid argument
in favor of poor highways
Princeton Union.
The state of Pennsylvania has
spent thus far S50,000,000 on
hard surface roads, and New
York even more. Minnesota has
spent hardly enough to make a
decent showing and has failed
to grasp its golden opportunity.
-Anoka Union.
That man Hammond, perhaps
we should say Governor Ham
mond, is certainly level-headed
on road matters. At the coler-
aine meeting last week he.
is reported as saying:
"a net work Of good highways
must be planned and built, so
that the settler can reach his
market place easily, otherwise
the work of reclamation would
be for nothing. These roads
should be devised to allow the
man engaged in building up the
country to reach his nearest
town where he can dispose of
his goods. They should not be
great avenues between towns,
but highways from towns to the
farm Keep right on talking
in that strain, governor. You
are on the right track.-Prince-
ton Union.
Give the farmer a good road
and he'll soon be buying Fords
and automobiles-and then he
will insist on taxing himself to
build and maintain more roads.
-Hibbing Tribune.
The road drag is a mighty i'm
portant spoke in the wheel of
progress. This has already been
demonstrated. A road drag is
to the community what COW
is to the farm. -Gonvick Banner.
There is a rumor going the
rounds that Julius A. Schmahl
will be candidate for governor
in 1916. Mr.. Schmahl would be
a strong man in political race
against any Of the other aspir-
ants so far named. Indeed this
paper regards him as being the
only strong and available man
in the republican party of the
state at this time. This state
ment is made on the presunnp-
ion that the party wants a win
ner. Madison Independent Press.
There is some talk of julius
Schmahl being the republican
candidate for governor in 1916.
ana we simply desire to say that
should he throw his hat in he
will follow it to the white house.

HE LIKES JULIUS!
Horace Huron Writes in Pilligar
Herald of Senatorial Visit
to COleraine

On Friday morning, June II,
the main attraction got into
town (Coleraine) by special
train, run by hot air and filled
to the guards with the entire
State Senate of Minnesota. |
never realized what a good
crowd they were, fer they had
all agreed that not one Of them
would say a thing, they were not
going to talk at all, and they all
stood by the first part OF it
nobly, although some of them
talked a lot. Then Scnmahl came
on-he was not on the regular
program, just butted in. Say,
how one little, sawed-off Secre-
tary of State, could stand up
there, with one hand in his pock-
ct while he fairly paved the air
with the other and make as good
a speech as could be got, right
out of his head, because it was
there and he just couldn't hold
it! Well, he talked for at least
half an hour, and I'll bet he
could have spelled every word
he said. I'll be mighty glad to
meet and hear Schmahl again
that's the best compliment I
could pay him.
Then some other fellows
talked, but didn't say much and
we went to dinner.-Horace HUI

Billy Sunday is under fire
from his former Secretary,
mostly because the latter failed
to get as much of the root Of all
evil from the evangelist as he
considered his due. Billy Sun
day is like other mortals and
will be ultimately judged by
what he has done. And lot Of
people all over this country will
always think that Billy has done
them more good than they can
pay for with money.

RUSSIANS TO THE DARDANELLEs

That Russia's greatest need in this war is
not men but munitions and officers especially
munitions--is again proved by the news that
Russian soldiers are to be sent from Vladivos-
tok to the Dardanelles to reinforce the deci-
mated ranks of the Allies striving to take
the Gallipoli peninsula.
Without millions of men to draw from, the
Cars generals could not think of sending
troops away from instead of toward the hard
pressed lines in Russian Poland and the bit of
Galicia still remaining in the Slav grasp. But
even with the hundreds of thousands killed in
the three great Mazurian defeats, the first Ger
man driveon Warsaw and the long and finally
disastrous Galician campaign, Russia still can
fling horde after horde toward the death-deal-
ing trenches and the eanhon's mouth.
There is political aspect in the reported
of troops from Vladivostok to the
Dardanelles. One of Russia S prime objects in
this #ar-perhaps her prime commercial OBJ
ject-is to win Constantinople and the long
desired sea-way from the Black Sea to the Med
iterranean. Her feet has done very little exc
cution on the hinter end of the Bosphorus and
her campaign against the Turks in the eau
casus stillswavers between victory and defeat.
Perhaps, to secure the rich reward she covets,
Russia feels that she must strike still more eff
fective blows at the Ottoman, and one way of
doing this is to send soldiers to the Darda-
nelles when the Allies need fresh material.

COURT DECISION NEEDED.

A legal fight because of the frontage-tax law
will probably clear the atmosphere, which is
certainly murky so far as this improvement
plan is concerned.
Very probably it is best for the city and the
property owners to thrash out in court now the
difference between maintenance" and "con-
struction " in road-work. The issue has arisen
because Manoa citizens with some justification
object to paying 100 per cent ASSESSMENT for
construction in their district while large part
of what they declare is construction work on
Queen street and elsewhere is being paid for
from the eity's general funds.
The supervisors insist that the pieces of
work under fire by the militant Manoans are
merely maintenance, not original construction.
The valley citizens thereupon decide to bring
injunction proceedings Thus the statute gets
before the courts.
1t was inevitable that sooner or later the law
Of 1913 and the simplifying act of 1915 should
be attacked, eithersin friendly test-case or a.
hostile assault. And supreme court decision.
on some of the disputed points will be vel
coined by public officials as well as private
preperty-owners who must stand the assess.
ments 1t was inevitable that as soon as
the supervisors began even a partial enforce
nent of the law they would discover honest
differences of opinion. Only an Interpretation
by the highest tribunal viii suffice to reconcile
these differences
Honolulans may now see how advantageous
it would have been had the last board of super
visors made something like AN effective at
tempt to enforce this law. At least they would
have got the statute into court long ere now
and the delays of litigation would probably
have been concluded by this time. The city
would have been much further advanced in its
application of the local assessment principle.
Now that the issue is raised, the Star
Bulletin believes 1t is wise to take it to the
supreme court as sooh as possible and secure
early judicial Interpretation. 1t is to be hoped
also that the main points in dispute will all be
passed upon not merely this particular ques-
ton.

the coast are stopping and visiting the
Islands quite thoroughly. I heard one
Of the visitors remark. You certainly

That was q fairly strong statement
and objected to It. as all Of our

But 1t again occurs &C me: What

streets in a condition TO compare
fayorably with Pasadenais, Cor in

One of the SUPERVISOR told me the
other day that not q cent could be

frontage tax route. If that is the
case we had better knock the frontage

STEEL WORKS in

SYDNEY, Australia. AN iron and

over $1,000 900, has just been opened
at Port Waratah, near Newcastle, New
South Wales, by means of which Aus
tralia hopes eventually to become in

The opening of the new plant was
regarded as an event of great import

country and was made formal occa+
sion at which speeches were made by
number of distinguished men. The
works are located at the outlet of the
collieries which are probably the big

THE CONTEST OF ENDURANCE.

Premier Asquith's statement to the British
Parliament that the war has now become a
contest of endurance is not surprising news
but it will nonetheless be hard for the Allies
to stomach.
For months the official observers, = "eye-
witnesses and the rest of the critics who
write according to the dictation of the war
Office have declared that the Germans were on
the point Of breaking Even after the much.
heralded ..spring drive of Kitchener's forces
failed to materialize the only drive being
made by the Germans the Allies continued to
insist that German resistance was about due to
collapse. But the fact that the Germans were
able to rally the broken Austrian forces in the
Carpathians, clear the Russians out Of Galicia
and Bukowina and drive them to the gates of
Warsaw, and at the same time hold the French
and British on the west at least to even terms,
has pretty thoroughly dispelled the theory that
German defensive on the west must soon
crumple and the Kaiser's troops withdraw be-
yond the line.
The London Times was probably first OF the
big British papers to look the facts in the face.
The Times several weeks ago declared there
is no immediate prospect of being able to conf
pei the Germans to withdraw within their own
frontiers; that it will take months to provide
the British forces with big guns, high eypios
ives and machine-guns which are necessary.
The country has got to set its teeth, says the
Times, disregard confusing bulletins, and
face the probability of prolonged and unpro-
