progres,Iyes Next Year.

Chairman McCombs Of the Demo-
cratic national committee Is quoted us
saying that "the majority OF tho Pro-
gressives will be found voting with tho
Democratic party in 1916" Where Nj.
Mecombs gets the basis for his claims
is mystery. Excepting that they were
both determined to defeat the Republi-
can party III 1912 there was little point
OF agreement between the Democrats
and Progressives. says the Pittsburg
Gazette Times. On paramount issues
they were about as divergent us they
well could be. From the time tho
Wilson administration and the Demo-
cratic majority In Congress had been
In control long enough to demonstrate
their incapacity leading Progressives
and several Progressive conventions
have been harsh in their criticism II

Admittedly there has been n return
Of 100000 and possibly more Pro-
gressivcs to the Republican ranks. The
attitude Of the remainder necessarily
liz a matter OF conjecture until affairs
begin to shape UP for next year. But
the position Of such of the old Progress
sive leaders as Colonel Roosevelt,
George W. Perkins and Governor john
son, Of California with regard to the
Wilson administration is not in doubt.
The Underwood tariffs failure to slim
ulate industry or reduce the cost OF
living and the administration foreign
policy. both as to Europe and Mexico.
have been denounced no more bitterly
by Republicans than by Progressives.
The narrow craftsmanship of the Wilson
regime and Its disregard Of civil SER
Vice reform have been equally unsatis-

sible ground. therefore, can Chairman
McGjmbs count upon q majority Of
Progressives turning In for another
four years Of the very government,
economic principles and methods
which for nearly three years past they
have protested against?

"Mr. Wilson is q convert to pre-
paredness. He was urged u year ago.
and even earlier. to take up the qusB-
ton. but declined. He thought It
academic" and said SO very frankly.
At that time he was In full agreement
with Mr.. Bryan on the subject.
"Now that he has made II the para
mount issue for his second campaign.
Mr.. Wilson has discovered that pre-
pnredness has divided his party. He
Is leading one faction, and Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Kitchin are leading the other.
IF pressure is brought to bear to
make him shift his ground or modify
his recommendations, Mr.. Wilson
should resist It. A wabble might be
his undoing. The opponents Of pre-
paredness have greatly Increased
their activity since Mr.. Wilson an
nounced his change OF opinion; and
II may be several months before the
vote is called in Congress. So that
the opposition. being much in earnest
and well led. may be expected TO play
all legitimate cards In Its game.
"Mr. Wilson wants TO be reelected.
and TO that end must have n united
party behind him. Factionalism. there

properly handled. spread to others;
and nothing Ia palmer than that "

Road Organization.

The question of road improvement
calls for organization. Organization
that will produce efficiency can be had
and should be had in every county.
The work should be under one head
and that person should know daily
what is being done. how much is being
expended. where the work is being
executed, the number OF laborers and
teams employed and the amount and
kind OF material used as well as the
cost Of each.
1t is one thing to get an accounting
for funds expended and another to get
the maximum results which should
be the aim OF every person interested
in the bctterment OF the roads Of the
state. The Ohio county road depart
ment is very efficient and the results
in that county show the value Of such
q movement. Every morning report
in the county is placed In the hands OF
the board of commissioners. A tabu-
lated list Of the amount expended and
the balance in each fund is kept before
the commissioners. Each member of
the board has in his pocket statement
showing the condition of every fund
in the entire county and the amount
appropriated to each piece Of work.
Mcdowell county has good organiza-
ton. and few other counties have
placed their road work under modern
business systems. Under a new law,
chapter So. acts 1915, officials that
are following the old haphazard way
Of giving orders and letting the road
business Of the county drift, are TAX
ing very great risk. All road officials
should read that act and get bulletin
II. Of the state road bureau. which
prescribes forms for road system.

was printed by that magazine this
month. Commenting on this mass of
answers to its question, which was
printed in a recent issue, with re-
quest for expressions OF opinion. the
magazine says
The great mass of letters were from
the plain people. more than two
thirds from men, not more than a
hundred or SO from ClerEymen The
greater proportion were from the
small towns and country. more from
the south and west than from the
north and east Nearly all the letters
agree that a man must do believe or
be something before he can he called
a real Christian
The point OF view most often and
most strongly emphasized was that
You may be a good member OF society
and believe in what Christ stood for
and still not be a Christian because
you are at heart selfish, self-centered
and jealous of your personality. You
