have reported great difficulty in getting
their produce to mills or to market because
Of smooth roads upon which horses are
unable to get foothold. And then it is
often the case that team Of horses can
not take as large loads on the improved
roads as on the old highways OF course.
these conditions do not always obtain, but
after freeze and after rain or snow
these roads are certainly not inviting to
the farmer using horse drawn vehicles.
1t is. therefore, not surprising to see a
bill introduced in the Legislature to provide
for some relief in this direction. Whether
it is feasible to meet the objections raised
against the present method of construc-
ton is another question. Nevertheless, it
does seem that there ought to be some
way to meet this trouble. One of the
strongest arguments used in forwarding
the good roads movement is that the roads
will be great convenience to the farmer
in conveying his crops to market. As a
matter of fact, the roads have apparently
failed to large extent in this direction,
at least judging by the experience Of many
farmers in this county.
This comment is not intended as oppos-
ing good roads. for we believe they con-
stitute one of the finest Improvements
which the State or county can make. but
we should not lose sight, in the building
Of these highways. of the Importance Of
giving the farmer for his horse-drawn
vehicles those facilities which improved
roads are supposed to eive.-Fredk Post

Mr.. Roots Keynote.

The army and navy of which President
Wilson found himself Commander in chief
In the midsummer of 1914 were such as
the Republican party in l6 years of unin-
terrupted control of the Government had
provided. The army would not have lasted
a week in conflict with any leading Euro
pean nation, and the navy would not have
lasted much longer in conflict with Great
Britain. Those were the instruments pro-
vided by the Republican party with which
President Wilson should have protected
Belgium and established what we would
recognize as constitutional government in
Mexico in order to satisfy Elihu Root, who
was the Secretary Of War and Secretary
Of State during good part Of the 16 years
his party was in control Of the Govern
ment. II the United States ought to have
fought, but could not. the responsibility
rests upon Mr.. Roots party, and in some
measure upon him personally.
When one Of the euarantors Of Belgian
neutrality. supported by second, violated
that kingdom in order to strike at third
euarantor, and fourth guarantor accepted
the wage Of battle on that account. of
what possible use would an expression of
opinion by the United States have been
We could not have gone to the succor of
Belgium; the Republican party had not
provided the army and navy for such an
exploit With three guarantors directly
engaged in the case Of Belgium. and two
more involved in the war. what could have
been more futile than diplomatic note from
Washington telling the Prussian General
Staff that 1t ought not to do sol The only
possible effect would have been to destroy
our influence with Germany by giving the
impression that we were on the side Of
the allies.
For two years the leading nations of
Europe refused to recognize King Peter Of
Servia because he had succeeded to the
throne by assassination. though he was
in no way concerned therein. Huerta not
only succeeded to the Presidency of Mexico
by assassination. but the circumstances
were such as to cast grave suspicion upon
himself. II was in his power to protect
Madero. He failed to do this and profited
personally by this failure. and there were
facts that suggested something worse on
Huerta's part than the mere failure in duty
Elihu Root denounces the President for
refusing to recognize Huerta because he
says it would have been better for the
American dollars invested in Mexican
mines and railroads. Root would have
recognized an assassin and a usurper for
the sake Of the dividends from Mexican
enterprises.
The recognition Of Huerta, however,
would not have established peace in Mexico.
The Carrandistas rose against Huerta for
exactly the same reason that the Media
ristas rose against Diaz. Elihu Root de-
nounces President Wilson for not aiding a
military despot and usurper against an
effort to obtain popular government. be-
cause the dividends on American invest
ments might have been safer.
Elihu Root. spokesman for his party. and
the most promising candidate for the
Presidential nomination Of his party, has
made the most immoral speech that has
been heard in the United States since the
civil war.-Phila. Record.
