Burton is of the type of mind
which defends the holder OF the
franchise; he does not crusade for
tho people.
IL Burton is selected as the
presidential candidate of the re-
publicans, IL will be because he
typifies reaction, and because the
republicans believe the people will
vote for reactionary candidate.

The studious boy in big specs is
sometimes a mollycoddle, and the

impunity.
Not so with Theodore Elijah.

In spite of his monkish look and
his book-writing habit, he is bit
of sport. He gets into his baggy

ments will result. North Carolina will
probably establish an independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts and Con-
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er, but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in eff
feet on considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, SO that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
in all construction work; a proper
classification of highway to insure in
telligent distribution of improve
ments, an adequate provision for
maintenance of highways from the
day of their completion-these are
among the objects for which the
American Highway association is wag-
ing vigorous campaign.

BELIEVES IN ATTACKING

Rear Admiral John M de Robeck,
who succeeded Admiral Garden in
command of the allied fleet attack
ing the Dardanelles, has been little
known to the world at large, or even
to Great Britain, whose navy he en-
tered in 1875, when he was but thir-
teen years old. He became rear ad-
miral in 1911, and the next year he
was made admiral of patrols, post
calculated to give scope to all the
talents 1t means full acquaintance
with every form of small craft. with
mines and mining, with the launch
ing of torpedoes from the shore, with
intricate questions of the correlation
of land and sea gun-fire
Rear Admiral de Robeck is a man
of rather more than middle age; his
great youthfulness lies in his ability
to grasp the significance of the latest
naval notion. Time and again, in
messroom gatherings, he has made
younger men seem old fashioned by

the length of time that the water
