State Highway Commissioner Issues
Instructions on Building Mac

State Highway Commissioner A. D.
deals with the construction and i'm
provement Of macadam roads. This
subject is Of vital interest to Berke

roaC engineers are using the
puddle macadam method is construct
ing methods in the rural sections Of
the counties. Miles Of this kind Of
road will be laid during the coming
spring and hundreds of tons Of lime
stone will be quarried and crushed as
soon as the winter is over.
Bulletin No. 2 deals first with spec.
ifications for contractors, which were
fully covered in the first road lesson

Utilizing the School Plant.

The promptness with which re-
quests have been filed with the
school board for the use Of buildings
as social centers indicates that there
will be general utilization of the
school plant under the terms OF the
new act OF Congress. There can be
no doubt of the public need in this
respect. In every neighborhood So
cial activities, especially OF an edu-
cational character, are checked for
lack Of facilities. With the schools
open for these uses clubs OF boys,
girls and adults can be formed, read
ing circles established, general infor-
nation groups organized, and in
many ways the community life quick
ened. There is wealth of material
in Washington for such develop
rnent, and the only misfortune is that
the schoolhouses have not been here
toiore thrown open for a purpose
which is so closely allied to the pub
lie education and which cannot fail
TO have a generally helpful effect
upon the local citizenship.

The Free Rides Provision.

There would seem to be no rea-
son to wait until the first of July to
put into effect the provision OF the
appropriation act just passed by
Congress which restores to police
men and firemen the right to ride
free on the street cars in this city,
and it is to be hoped that ruling
to this effect will be made quickly, SO
that the members OF the two forces
may without further delay have the
benefit of this enactment, which was
rendered necessary by the terms OF
the public utilities act of two years
ago. 1nasmuch as the street railway
companies have always been willing
to carry the policemen and hremen
free, as a measure Of public safety
and also to insure order on the street
cars. there can be no objection to an
Interpretation that a strictly legis-
lative clause in the bill, involving no
appropriations, becomes effective
upon the signing OF the act.

that Walter Johnson had arrived at

readers than would have been even

allied fleets. This is the season OF
the year when the advent of "dia-
mond king" at base ball headquar-
tiers, especially one who has been a
subject of some doubt as to his sea-
sons intentions, is an event of mag
nitude. Every base ball fan" IS

The Interminable Thaw Case.

The public must resign itself to an
other reerudeiseence OF the Thaw
case, with its tlresome succession of
arguments and experts, its repetition
of the tale of sordid tragedy, its ap-
peals, its complications and its per-
ennial suggestion that money alone
has enabled this young man to escape
the consequences OF his crime. No
matter what may be the outcome Of
the present proceedings the people
OF this country are heartily desirous
that it may be the end Of case that
has from first to last lowered the
dignity of the law and made a mock

Turkish Forts and Allied Ships.

The Dardanelles may be forced,
but it is evident that the Turks,
aided doubtless by German engineers
and artillerists, have put up formid-
able front OF opposition, taxing the
naval power OF both England and
France. In Belgium and France it
has been demonstrated that the land
iortihcation is not impregnable
against long-range great guns. Now
it appears to be the fortune of Ger
many's enemies to prove that such
guns can be employed with equally
destructive effect from shipboard. 1t
is important to note that the I5-inch
guns of the Queen Elizabeth reach
farther than the I4-inch guns of
the Turkish forts. That little diff
ference of an inch in the bore makes
apparently all the difference in the
world in results, as was SO effectual-

the Mexican situation are such Is tc

He plans to go later in the year, and
the hope is general that he may be
able to do so. Then he will make
his addresses and his hay.
The first engagement is to be filled
by Mr.. Marshall, representing his
chief. He will leave in few days
from Indianapolis A better man for
substitute could not have been found
His qualifications for the mission are
entirely adequate.
The Vice President is capital Off
hand speaker. ready and witty. He
is an experienced political cam
paigner. He knows the middle eoun-
try, the near west, and the far west.
Men who heckle him are likely to get
as good as they send. He would out
point the President in rough-and-
tumble.
The denomination OF Mr.. Wilson
means the denomination OF Mr.. Mar

for himself
Later. Mr.. Wilson will supplement-
these efforts. On his journey he will
add to what Mr. Marshall has al
ready we'll said. The people will be
treated to a sight and hearing of
both members OF the national team,
and the great enterprise at San
Francisco. for which everybody
wishes success, will enjoy a double
portion in the way of celebrities.
Mr.. Wilson'S receptions when he
takes the road will probably be the
heartier for the delay. He is right
i'll deciding to remain close to base
while foreign affairs are delicate and
threatening. Congress at the
eleventh hour increased his power to
deal with certain phases OF them.
and that increased his responsibility
When the danger passes or lifts, as
all pray it may, he can pack his grip
and face big crowds whose feelings
will be as much relieved as his own.
Evening star., 1915-03-09
Mr.. Wilson's Task.

Now that Congress is no longer
''on his hands" the President will be
able to give more time to foreign
affairs. and is planning to concen-
trate his attention on them. He will
receive general visitors only for an
hour OH two days of the week, and.
OF course, the pressure of politicians
for interviews will be greatly re-
laxed. They have gone home to re
pair damages and strengthen them
selves for next year. leaving him
largely undisturbed in the considera-
ton OF what is taking place in Eu-
rope and Mexico.
1t is something OF a wonder how
an occupant OF the White House
keeps track OF matters demanding
examination and decision. They are
almost numberless, and of the great
est variety. AT one hour d confer
ence about foreign affairs. At an
other hour a conference about do
mestic matters. At still another hour
4 conference with wrangling politi-
clans about patronage. And then
the time properly allowed to gen
eral visitors desirous OF paying their
respects.
Such is the program day after day,
and for months at stretch. Con-
gress meets for the long session in
December, and ordinarily sits well
into summer. During that time the
demands on the President are nu-
.nerous Snd incessant. and range all
the way from consideration OF a
treaty OF international Importance

A President. it is true. has advisers,
and they help him bear his burdens.
But the fnal decisions are always

controversies reach him. In many
things. ior two years past, Mr.. Will
son has been both President and
Congress, and must have been taxed
as heavily physically as inte1lec-
tually.
While the duties OF the Office have
always been burdensomc, they have
grown greatly in that particular in
recent years. We have not only de-
velopcd at home within the old lin
its. but extended our boundaries east
and west and south Great islands
OF the seas are now under our flag.
and in Panama we have the canal
and the zone through which it passes
under our control.
Mr.. Wilson'S hands are iull, even
with Congress off them. The Euro
pean situation in its relation to us is
grave in the extreme, while in Mex
leo is a problem as complex and
difficult as ever was presented to
American authorities. Everybody
wishes Mr.. Wilson we'll OF this task,
