appointed because they need the
money" or want to work out their
taxes" Brains are not wanted, be
cause it is assumed that some dummy
who doesn't know enough to go home
when it rains will make crackajack
road overseer.
There are people who ought to
be hitched up in harness and made
to haul ton of coal six miles each
day over a road where the mud
maintained perpetual depth of six
feet, because they haven't enough
ginger for anything else.
When they see a road overseer
making almost impossible a fairly
good road, will they climb out Of
their wagons, back the aforesaid
overseer up against the first fence
rail, and talk plain United States to
him, in a manner that he will re-
member to his dying day? They will
not!
Will these people go to the town
ship committee meeting and assure
the committee that prison terms will
stare them in the face if they pay
out one dollar for ruined highways?
They will not.
But they will groan and complain
over the taxes. and over the impass-
able condition of the roads, and keep
their mouths closed like CLAIMS at
election time for fear they will hurt
somebody's feelings.
Brains are more important than
stone crushers, road rollers, or even
money, but like all the other in
gradients, they must be properly
used. One clear-mihded road over
seer can do more real work in his
district and make more incompetents
angry than anything else you can
imagine.

Why Roads Are Bad.

Brother Rush, of the Glen Gar
dner Avalanche, wonders why it is
that Lebanon township, Hunterdor
county, of which his village is a part,
cannot have good roads, especially
in view of the stoning of a road some
years ago-but which has since been
fl ed up with mud and sods.
Ignorance and incompetence.
How many township committees
in New Jersey will appoint CON-
petent man for road supervisor?
Mighty few. Men are usually ap-

REFUSES TO ADMIT DEFEAT
French Commander Applies the Frin-
clpies Of Christian Science 70 His
Military Operations.

In Behind the Scenes at the
'FRONT.' Mr.. George Adam, Paris cor
respondent Of the London Times,
tells good deal that il interesting
about the opinions Of General Foch,
who for five year, lectured On STRAIT
egy and tactics al the Ecole de
Guerre. There be used often TO
quote saying Of Joseph de Maistre,
which summed up the psychological
element in defeat: "A battle lost d
battle that you think ia lost, for
battles are not lost materially"
To that military summary Of the
doctrine Of Christian Science, Gen
eral Eoch added this formula Of vic
tory: BATTLES are, accordingly, lost
morally, and it is, therefore, morally
that battles are gained and battle
won is battle in which you refuse
TO admit yourself beaten"
That is the more convincing since
it comes from soldier with a scien-
tifc mind. Moreover, on at least one
occasion, when he had been forced
three times to retire, he put his faith
into practice.
After each retirement General
Foch refused to admit defeat. He
and the men under him had the
moral strength, in which science
plays no part, 10 refuse TO know
when they were beaten. On the third
dar the retrsmsnt began earixin the

Army Officers a Farce.

Nothing better demonstrates what
a farcical thing the average self
conscious army officer is than a war
or talk of war.
Major-General Hugh L. Scott, chief
of staff of the United States army,
according to the American Press,
wants plan prepared for the censor
ship of the press in case of war.
First of all, it's a deliberate insult
to every American newspaper editor,
the meanest or most humble of whom
is head and shoulders above this
man Scott in both patriotism and in
tellect. Secondly, it's contary to
the constitution of the United States
and contrary to the rights of free
people. Last of ell, it's bowling joke
to think that foreign army would
depend for its information upon the
newspapers. Scott might, but sure
ly no man with brains enough to
run an army would await the news
boys to find out what he best do
next.
Of course men with heads like
Scott, made of wood and lined with
pinfeathers, do not know any better
but it is an actual fact that every
press censorship that has ever been
established has had for its sole and
direct object the suppression of news
of official rottenness and treason up
on the part of the men perpetrating
it. No man with a clear conscience,
or with honest purposes ever would
countenance a press censorship. In
America it would mean revolution.
Should the United States ever be-
come embroiled in a foreign war
it will not be the high and mighty
military officers nor their proteges
that will furnish the money, bodies
and brains to carry on the war, but
common people who have some horse
sense. No military man ever really
knew anything, and none ever will.
Americas wars were not won by
military men, although some of them
sneaked in long enough to steal the
credit.
Great Britain has a fine example
of military men and of press censor
ship. Lord Kitchener, who made a
reputation because he and half a
million other soldiers didn't all die
at the hands of few thousand Beers,
ia trying to run things for England,
and judging by the results any ten
year old boy could show him things.
Such erased incompetence has never
before been witnessed, and that a
large part of it is due to the press
censorship there isn't the least doubt.
Somebody in the English army man
agement is evidently in the pay of the
German government, and the press
censorship keeps their treachery
from being shown up. Every crook
since time began has favored press
censorship.
The very least that Scott can do
is to resign from the army. A foul
defamer of the American press, and
traitor to the American constitution
and principles, he should be court
martialed and driven from the army
in disgrace.
