Honorable Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States,
Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir-The present industrial
condition OF the United States war.

go on the expectation of wheat and all
other food products that are now held
at abnormal values, caused by the wide
demand of foreign countries.
We will soon have our larders de-
pleted. and this, the greatest produc.
Ing nation on earth, will be on the
brink of starvation. Is that justice to
our people? Must we submit to de-

Suppose a poor man with a wife
and family, sold all the food there was
in the house, that cost S., to some 9TH

for another purpose, thereby depriv-
ing his family of the necessities of life.
He would he iusf)v calIed "an inhuman
brute" and would certainly be an un-
desirable sitizen or neighbor. There
Is no punishment equal to the crime.
The only difference in these crimes
Is, that one Is a rich Spectator and
the other Is a poor man, but the crime
is the same. These collous-hearted

LIGHTING PLANS
WAIT ON ACTION
Of LEGISLATURE
Proposed Bill Places Entire
Cost of Ornamental Sys-
TEN Against Benefited
Property Owners.

Although the question Of providing
an ornamental lighting system for the
entire length of Main street and q
section of the north end business dis
trict on Fort Wayne avenue and North
e street was a question the board Of
public works was to have taken up
at this time City Engineer Charles
said today that proceedings In the
matter would probably be delayed.
"A bill has been introduced In the
state senate which provides that
whenever such a street lighting sys-
tenn is installed the entire cost shall
.be assessed against the property own
'ers IN the benefited districts. Mr.
Charles anticipates that the board will
delay action on the petitions for Or
namental lighting systems pending the
action Of the legislature on this meas
ure.
To Settle Legality.
There has been some doubt as to
the legality Of assessing for our pro-
posed ornamental system" Mr.. Char
4es said If this bill becomes law
the local situation assumes an entir-
ely new aspect"
Petitions circulated last summer by
the Commercial club for an ornamen-
tai lighting system were on the un-
Outstanding that part Of the cost Of
installation was to be borne by the
municipal electric plant. The board
had offered to pay as the plants share
OF the expense the cost the plant
would have been put to If ornamental
lamps had been attached by brackets
to trolley poles, which the city first
proposed to do.
Since that time court at Fort
Wayne has ruled that when such
lighting systems are installed the city
must meet the entire expense of
putting up the cables, a considerable
item especially as cables would have
to be placed underground.
A number of resident property own
ers on the streets where it is propos-
ed to install the ornamental system
have signified their opposition to the
improvement. -.

BUILDING DIRT ROADS.

These Are tho Real Highways Of Conn
mercs, Says Governor Major.
The dirt roads are the real highways
of commerce, says Governor Major of
Missouri. Without them you would
have little use for macadam roads or
other highways of like character. In
the road fabric we must begin at the
bottom. AS the dirt roads are improv-
ed year by year by process of evolu-
ton, when necessity requires certain
percentage Of them will become trunk
lines and be converted into rock,
macadam, concrete or roads of like
character. This will come about when
the betterment of the dirt roads has so
improved agricultural and other COM
munities through which they pass that
the wealth and population and COM
MERGE justify it.
We cannot make oil the roads rock,
macadam or concrete roads, but we can
make all our bad dirt roads good dirt
roads. We can make the rock, macad-
am or concrete roads in certain Sec
tons and communities where country
growth, wealth, population and volume
Of heavy traffic demand aud justify it."
The amount Of money really required
to convert bad dirt road into a good
dirt road by the use of modern road
equipment is astonishingly small.
Where the roads from the farm to
the railway station are partly bad dirt
roads, partly good dirt roads and part
~ rock, concrete or macadam roads,
the farmer must gauge his load not by
the good dirt road, not by the good
macadam road over which he passes
part of the distance, but by the bad
dirt road he must travel What we
should do Is to improve the road, gaug-
ing the load the producer must haul.
If he has to struggle with bad dirt
roads he is the man we wish to serve.
These roads are the arteries Of the
commerce of the soil, and our very
life, credit, prosperity, education,
church and future interests depend
upon them.
The closer we place the producer to
the markets the lower will be our cost
of living. The roads which serve the
producers today are the dirt roads,
roads of the people, roads reaching
every community, and fifty years from
now the great majority of the roads
serving the producers will still be dirt
roads. We must deal with things real
not ideal.
