Unreasonable Demands
"How much is radium worth an
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-07-17

On the brick road there have been de-
livered eleven tons of grain in one trip by
one team, using five wagons, while on the
earth road two tons all that could be
delivered by similar team The haul being
four miles in both cases, and as they could
make three trips day, twenty-four miles
team travel, the team on the earth road
would deliver six tons per day at cost for
team and wagon of $3.50, thus making
cost of Is cents per ton the four mile haul.
On the brick road the delivery was 80 tons
per day at a cost of 1917 cents per ton for
the four mile haul. A difference of fifty
five cents per ton in the cost of delivery in
favor of the brick road, difference in
cost of $264 on the 48O tons delivered.
This is only small percent of the actual
loss to the farmer living on the earth road,
as he had to sell his grain at time when
the roads were in condition that it could be
delivered, without regard to the price of the
products From actual experience it has
been demonstrated that this would represent
loss of ST.. so per ton on corn, $3.50 on oats
and $500 on hay, making loss in the ag-
gregate of 5000, on account of not being
able to deliver at the best market price.
This, with the loss in the cost of delivering,

makes 81, 1o4, or ten per cent on an invest
ment of $11 900, an increase in value of $50
per his $50 acre farm.
These some of the transportation
problems that confronting the people of
this country today, and they entitled to,
and are receiving the attention of some OF
the best and foremost minds of this genera
ton.
In my humble opinion the climax of the
whole road problem will be the building of
a system of permanent National highways
by Federal cooperation or aid-and this is
not SO far in the future as some may be-
lieve. The government has plenty of money
with which to build permanent highways in
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands Con-
gress can appropriate annually millions of
dollars for rivers and harbors. Our gov
eminent has been spending from $2OOOOO,-
600 to $3OOOOO,OOO annually for the army
and navy-and all this without protest The
same appropriation that Congress has been
granting for rivers and harbors, to bene-
fit a few people, will build two transconti-
mental highways of concrete every year from
New York to San Francisco.
How much longer can Congress delay an
appropriation for National highways

something that will touch the everyday
life of the average American citizen every
day in the year in every section of the coun-
try in all the future years? The proposition
is SO logical and fair, the suggestion so
plausible and the benefits so apparent that
no political party or American Congress
much longer ignore public opinion upon
the good roads question
when Caesar took eastward ride and grabbed
the Gauls for Rome what the first thing that
he did to make them feel at home? Did he in
crease the peoples load and liberty forbid? No,
he dug in and built good roads-thafs what Old
Caesar did
did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foeman's
breast, or did he try make them feel the Roman
rule best? What did he do to make them glad
he'd come their midst amid He built good roads
in place of bad-that's what Old Caesar did.
HE built good roads from hill to hill, good roads
from vale to vale; he good roads movement
till Old Rome got all the kae. He told the folks
to buy home, build roads their hills amid, until
all roads led right to Rome-that's what Old Caesar
did.
eff any town would make the town the center
of the map, where folks will and settle down
live in plenty's lap, if any town its own abode
of poverty would rid, let 1T get out and build good
roads-just like Old Caesar did"

TT is very easy to trace through the his
| tory of civilization the mighty force of
popular songs and ballads representing
thoughts and emotions that have prevailed
from time to time and assisted in shaping
the course of events. Human nature seems
to demand a musical outlet of patriotic and
religious feeling. "And all countries have
their favorite and characteristic songs, cor
responding to the temperament and ten
denotes of their respective peoples. There
has never been country on earth so poor
that it did not have at least one simple bal
lad dear to the common heart and serving
a source of inspiration in the time of
peril" The importance of popular melodies
is shown in the history of almost every
country the globe in effecting great
born in the greatest moments of the singers
and the times
THE Star-Spangled Banner the national
song dearest to the American heart, born in
the fierce passions of war, has possibly the
hrmest hold on the American people
When the war between England and
France was renewed in 1905 there came
return of trouble to the United States
Shortly after the war with France began,
England claimed the right to search Amer
lean vessels for deserters from the English
navy. Thousands of Americans were seized
and forced to fight for England; and to
avenge these outrages, the United States de-
clared in 1872. 1t is another curious
fact of history that the excellent frigates
built during the exciting period which called
forth Hail Columbia" when the party in
power was thought by the opposition to be
too friendly toward Great Britain, were the
nucleus of the gallant navy that by and by

should win such triumphs England in
the stormy times that produced The Star
Spangled Banner" In the summer of 1914
the which waging between the
United States and Great Britain seemed to
run almost entirely in favor of the latter
nation Washington had been captured and
burned the shores of Chesapeake Bay were
ravaged by the British fleet under Admiral
Cockburn, Baltimore itself threatened
with speedy capture. AT just this juncture,
DR.. William Beanes, old resident and
leading physician of Upper Marlborough,
Maryland, was captured by General Ross
British army and held prisoner on Ad-
miral Cockburn's flagship, the Surprise
The doctor personal friend of Francis
Scott Key, then a young lawyer living at
Baltimore, who determined to procure DR..
Beane's release, if possible, after obtaining
proper credentials from President Madison
and proofs that DR.. Beanes was non-com-
Blatant. On September 2, 1914, Key set out
on his dangerous mission. Cockburn had
transferred DR.. Beanes to the custody of
Vice-Admiral Cochrane, to whom Key now
wendell his way. He could not have come
at more inoppOrtune moment, Tor Cock
burn had planned a combined attack by sea
and land upon Fort McHenry, the key to
Baltimore, at about the time that the Amer
lean envoy arrived. Vice-Admiral Cochrane
consented to the release of DIR. Beanes and
treated Key and his party with considerable
courtesy, but refused to allow them to re-
turn Just then, as it stipulated that all
of the American party should remain on the
Surprise" until the fort reduced, as
they feared the American party, who must
have seen the preparations going on IN the
