AMERICANS SHOULD TACKLE THE PROB
LEM AND SETTLE 1T.

Most of us will agree with the Grand Junction
(Colo.) News when it says that II is time for the
leaders of the republican party 10 begin to draw
issues with the national administration on ques-
tons that have grown out OF the war. The time
has come when a stop should be put TO this silly
twaddle about supporting the president and the
war question should be discussed on the broad
plane of what is best for the American people ir
respective of what the president thinks instead
of on the plane Of support the president. The
American people are not in sympathy with Presi-
dent Wilson and his policy. For several months
there has been tendency among some Of the
American people TO make IL appear that the
masses we're with the president. but down deep
in the heart Of every american citizen is the
feeling that President Wilson has tried TO make
us the ally of the allies.
That he has protested vigorously to Germany,
when he felt she was In the wrong, and that he
has quietly submitted to acts done by England
which were of far greater menace. to Americas
future. than anything done by Germany. At the
present time England is stopping every American
ship, going TO any neutral port on the European
continent. America cannot send shipload of
wheat TO Norway If England knows the ship
Is coming. The country will confiscate II and
will name the price which must be paid 10 the
American shippers for the wheat In other
words, England does not permit America the
right to sail the seas, even to neutral ports. So
far only the interest kind Of a protest has been
sent TO England, and the most of American peo-
significance before this position on the part of
England
Again the American people do not like the idea
Of being made TO look like monkeys. President
Wilson assumed the position in his note 10 Ger
many, which meant nothing but war. II Germany
did not accede TO his demands. Germany failed
TO accede and the American nation Is forced TO
back down. We backed down officially with Ger
many the same as we did with Mexico. Either
we should admit that we are unable TO enforce
our demands and admit that they are only made
for bluff anyway, or they should not be made.
The leaders Of the republican party should be-
gin 10 separate these inconsistent positions on
the part of President Wilson, and should begin
TO call them 10 the attention Of the American
public. II they wait until next year. the claim
will be made that IL Is being done Tor political
purposes, and they will have little effect in view
Of the maudlin sentiment that has prevailed
throughout this country the last three months
demanding that the president be supported The
president has played favorites He has tried TO
protect British ships laden with munitions Of
war, through the fact that American citizens
were on those ships when they were warned to
STAY off.
President Wilson has made much of every un-
fortunate incident with Germany. and has failed
10 enter vigorous protest with the allies when
they have in fact driven American European
commerce from the face Of the seas.

AS has been remarked by probably every news
paper in the state, there Is great need for sign
roads, for the information of travellers. This
need has been greatly multiplied since the use of
automobiles became general. and is becoming
more and more pressing each year. And the whole
matter could well be taken care of by the county
authorities or the various automobile ard good
