certain sum of money, they will of
necessity get corresponding sum
from the federal treasury. That is not
my construction Of the act and not the
one that will be likely to prevail.
The duty will rest upon the state
highway officials who represent the
states of informing the people as to
the meaning of this legislation and as
to the procedure under it, because the
initiative under the law lies with them
We are directed to cooperate with
them; with the state through the state
highway department. 1t is the duty
of the state highway officials, if their
states accept the law, to agree with
the department on roads to be con-
structed and to submit projects, plans,
and specifications. Therefore, individ-
uals, associations, and counties will
of necessity take up such matters di-
rectly with the state highway officials
and the department shall hear from
the interested parties through such
officials for the most part.
There is section of the act which
contemplates only parts of the coun-
try. The nation owns great areas, es-
pecially, in our western states, and is
acquiring areas in certain others of
our states. The nation owes a duty to
the people living in the National For
communities struggling for develop
ment have been compelled to rely too
exclusively for necessary improve
ments on taxes from private property
or on private contributions. 1t is true
that under the law we have hereto
fore been setting aside for road i'm
provement 10 per cent. of road i'm
receipts from the forests. This has
been no incnnsiderable sum, nearly
three-quarters of million dollars
since the act was passed, and approx
imately $278,000 for the present fiscal
year. But in some sections there are
no receipts from the forests and COM
munities have been left to struggle
as best they could. The government
in many instances is the owner of the
greater part of these assets. and 1t Is
only equitable and wise that the fed
eral government should assist them.
So there is appropriated by the act
I $40, 100000. a million a year for ten
years, for the construction of roads
and trails in or near the National For
ests, with the understanding that
communities interested will cooperate
financially and otherwise. The state
highway officials in the forest states
as matter of course, will think of CO.

Under which fiag?" might well be
asked of the motely crew behind
Candidate Hughes
Roosevelt, Bacon, ]. P. Morgan and
all the Morgan millions are fighting
President Wilson because he has not
turned the government of the United
States over to the British foreign
office. They are enraged that he did
not protest against the German occu-
patton Of Belgium, and that he did
not follow up the Lusitania disaster
by breaking off diplomatic relations
with Berlin and then seizlng all the
German ships interned in our ports.
They are for Hughes because they
have reason to believe that he will
throw the strength of America to the
Allies.
The German-American Alliance, as
sisted by jeremiah OLeary, IS fight
ing President Wilson because he has
not turned the government of the
United States over to the German
foreign office. They are enraged be-
cause he made Germany stop the
slaughter of neutrals and non-com-
batants, and because he has refused
to break off diplomatic relations with
London as a result of mail seizures
They are for Hughes because they
have reason to believe that he will
throw the strength of America to the
Kaiser.
Neither of these two great groups
is giving a thought to the United
States. 1t is of Europe that they are
thinking and working, and when they
cast their votes it will be either for
King or Kaiser.
What can be thought of a candi-
date willing to receive such support
and able to retain it? Two groups
hating each other. and working for
two absolutely different ends, and yet
in the same political camp. If the
United States were not at stake, 1t
could almost be wished that Hughes
would win in order that the country
might be edited by the dog fight that
would follow.

A really good theorist is highly prac-
tical; and so Is real expert. The
public is somewhat suspicious of ex-
perts, because, 1 think, so many peo-
pie pose as experts who are not When
the public sets an expert aside, it Is
worth while to inquire carefully into
the experts claims and competency.
1 repeat that this act will necessitate
trained intelligence in the service of
the state as we'll as in the service of
the federal government. The act re-
quires the state to accept it. That, as
understand 1t, implies the assent Of
the state to every provision of the
act. One of these provisions is that
projects, plans, specifications, and
contracts shall be submitted and ap-
proved; and l have a suspicion that
plans and specifications will not be
approved unless they are submitted By
people who know about such things.
So the assent of the state involves the
calling of trained men into the services
of every state which is now with out

pledge of the faith of the state to
meet in full the federal appropriation
for the entire period covered by the
act. The state legislature may not be
able to appropriate money one year
for the whole period covered by the
act, but it can pledge the faith of the
state to meet the financial provisions
of the act for the period covered by 1t.
This is as it should be. 1t would be
unfortunate if it were otherwise. 1t
would be wasteful not to make plans
at the outset for the full period COW
cred by the act; it would mean piece
meal road building and much dissipa-
ton of effort and misdirection of
funds. These requirements hold
whether the state as such, under the
existing law, may engage in road build
ing or not. The provision that where
the state may not engage in highway
improvement the money may be Sc
cured If counties raise an amount suf-
ficient to meet the apportionment to
the state, involves the necessity on
the part of such counties of raising an
amount sufficient to meet the full ap-
portionment for the state, the exist
ence of a highway commission and
compliance with all the other terms

Americans who have established
themselves internationally upon the
dramatic stage. His successes include
notble appearances with Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, Olga Nethersole, Mary

she has allowed herself to be placed
in a compromising position is divorc
