ture compared to which Panama
would be Insignificant every val
ley, plain and mountain would
witness the grading, bridging and
tunneling essential to road max
ing. Equality in distribution
would inevitably be demanded
which would result in inequality
of conditions when the scheme was
consumed. On the other hand, if
congress passed a road maintain
ence bill the expenditure would be
reduced fully ninety per cent; pol
itical log-rolling would be ruled
out of the equation, and local en-
terprise created and stimulated.
The policy of the government
should be to determine the best
and most economical good roads
method for each locality, based
upon the supply and availability
of building material and surface
and drainage conditions; and sub
NIT plans and estimates to the var
ious counties, fixing the appro-
priation at a certain amount per
mile for each character of road
when constructed in accorda nee
with government plans and speci-
fications as approved by engineers
in charge. This plan would stim-
ulate local pride and emulation,
give the country splendid. sys-
tenn of roads, and absolutely crush
political influence in such behalf.
AZ to Ware Duration.
Of course it is tolerably wicked
to hope far prolongation of the
European war, and we do not har.
Dor such longing. Yet we fully
realize that most of the good reso-
lutions born to the farmers through
existing conditions are as frail as
card houses or hillocks in the
sand, and demand time and habits
to assure endurance. If the war
ended today the old order of things
would be rene we'd tomorrow, but
if it lasts, as is probable several
wears, the new order of things will
have taken root and be as hard to
eradicate as the modes and moods
of our grand fathers. This is a
queer old world that we live in,
but we did not make it, and it was
though "wars and rumors Of war;
that it reached it's present state.

Reports show that during
April this year over 25 million
pounds of fresh beef and six
million pounds of canned beef
were shipped to Great Britain.
For the 10 months prior to
April 20 the expectations of
fresh beef amounted to 101
million pounds in round figures
and the expectation of canned
beef to some 81 million pounds.
These expectations are about
25 times as great as in ordinary
times.
Yet regardless of this heavy
demand the prices paid the
growers for beef are lower than
those paid before the war
started. They are lower than
were paid in the days when a
great hullabaloo was being
made over the importation of
beef from Australia and Ar
gentine.
Why does this situation ex-
list? Is it natural that prices
to the grower should be no
higher when we are exporting
beef than when beef is being
shipped to the United States?
Is the law of supply and de-
mand governing the beef mar
ket or is the beef trust.
through its we'll entrenched
monopoly, able to manipulate
affairs in such a manner as to
give the grower whatever it
pleases and take such profits
as it sees fit?
If the truth as to this matter
could be ascertained some am
azing facts might be brought to
light.

1%Y this time a year hence it
- is probable that both big
political parties will have
nominated their candidates for
the presidency. Therefore the
question of the selection of del
egates to the conventions is re-
ceiving attention.
Of the 48 states of the union
Is now have plans under which
the delegates are selected by
popular vote. These states are
California, Illinois, Massachus-
etts, Maryland, Michigan, Ne
braska, New Jersey, Ohio, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wiscon-
sin. They will be represented
in each convention by 1893 del
egates out of a total sent by
states of 1862.
Thus, the delegates from
more than One-fourth Of the
states, casting more than one
third Of the votes in each con-
ventiOn, will stand in closer
relation to the popular desire
than the average delegate here
tofore.
In a number of states, includ-
ing Oregon. the people have a
chance to express their direct
choice for presidential nomi-
nees. The delegates are pledg-
ed to vote for the popular
choice.
Just prior to the last presi-
Dental convention a number of
states adopted the presidential
system. 1t is very
probable some new states will
adopt the system at the legis-
.ative session to be held next
winter. In that case the list Of
states may be
greatly increased and thus the
selection of presidential can
lidates brought closer to the |
people. |

CURRENT THINKING
AN AMERICAN CULTURE.

(From the st. Louis Post Dispatch. J
In addition to the Fourth-of-J July
effort to Americanize more thorough
" the foreign elements in American
citizenship, we may wisely begin lay
'ng the foundation Of an American
culture which shall continually i'm
prove the standards of national life.
The lessons and effects of the gi-
gantic European conflict and 4 e
larger part in world activities the war
opens to US urge more definite ideals
and more efficient organization to
fulfill our greater destiny
We may well borrow several leaves
from the book Of German culture,
without its sayish submission to i'm
perial aims and absolute central au-
thority which renders it liable to mis-
direction. We may take from Ger
many:
]. The culture Of Thoroughness and
Efficiency-that spirit which spares
neither time nor labor to go to the
bottom OF every problem and the
completion Of every undertaking.

ed Of careless haste and superficial
ism in education, industry and com
merce. We must correct our stand

Americans have taken long strides
in this direction. There is now a new
and vigorous spirit of public service,
but there are yet wide fields and
many elements for it to conquer.

THE SoUTHpS COMPLAINT

IN UR southern states have
W more interest in remoV-
ing the English blockade
against shipments to Germany
than in the controversy with
Germany over the use of SUBJ
marines.
Germany and Austria need
cotton, but not for military
purposes, having already com
mandeered enough to do for
several years, as far as the
army is concerned.
The closing of the German
market to our cotton means
five or six cents a pound to the
southern growers. If the mar
ket remains closed it means six
or seven cent cotton; with the
German market open to us the
American growers will get IL
or IA cents.

A NAVY UP TO DATE.

Secretary Daniels strong speech a;
the opening session of the naval war
college should satisfy those who have
been his severest critics. It should
displease no one except ultra pacific
lists; and 1915 is not their year for
commencing their policies to the pub
lie.
Mr. Daniels has seen in this fate
ful time "Old theories crumbling every
day" and "Old tactics, old strategies
disappearing overnight" He has
seen great super er-dreadnoughts hiding
in guarded havens at distances hither-
to deemed impossible. He has noted
fast cruisers using lowering dlrgi-
bles as eyes to guide their raids on
enemy coasts.
Reminding his hearers that "the
courage of the American people in
facing new conditions" has made the
nation great Secretary Daniels meets
the new conditions He does not pro-
pose navy of menacing size but a
navy up to date. To this end he has
made arrangements for fuller use OF
the best expert thought within the de-
partment, without compromising the
necessary safeguard Of civilian con
troll.
Next to Mr.. Bryan Mr. Daniels has
been the member of the presidents
cabinet most often and most harshly
criticised Nothing in his conduct Of
the office has justified the abuse that
has been wreaked upon him. II he
successfully devotes himself to such
moderiization of the navy as recent

Stefansson has proved on a larger
scale than any other polar explorer
that the blubber and oils OF the ami
mails he killed would amply provide
all the fuel and light he needed dur
ing the winter night. He has always
maintained that this would be the
case, and he was confident that if he
had an opportunity to try it the eX-
pertinent would be successful He
said these commodities were good
enough for the Eskimos and he could
make them just as efficient as the
Eskimos do.
One of the bases of his polar plans
has been his idea that he could live
and thrive in the Arctic just as we'll
as the Eskimos. He has often ex-
pressed the opinion that the Arctic
natives, on the whole. live very com
fortably, that they have plenty OF
food and suitable clothing, that their
houses are fairly healthful, and THAI
they do not suffer many of the ills of
life unless they are beguiled by white
men to live in frame houses as they
do at some of the stations on the
north Alaskan coast.
