IN the early days Of Oklahoma, narrow trails led to

formed the means of travel and the trails were ample
Then came the vehicle trails were wdened and over
land travel increased But uayersing the unmproyed

Enter then the motor car and efforts were made
to construct level roads which should make motoring
pleasure Spasmodic attempts resulted in few short
stretches Of fair highways but general scheme has not
put Oklahoma in the class with older communities,
and the need for better roads is acute.
We have been talking good roads and building bad
The time is at hand to continue the talking and to
supplement the vocal energy by the only procedure which
builds good roads This THE EXPENDITURE
OF MONEY
We can write and peach until doomsday about good
road, but unless we issue bonds in large amounts and
use the proceeds to cause network of highways to run
across the state we will make little advancement
Since the only way TO get good roads is to cxpend
money why hesitate? Since know the methods, why
wait to put them into effect
We are agreed about the value of hard surfaced road
ways and it will be easy agree upon the initial bond

sprang into being huge were expended and fine
highways became JOY to the man with the motor.

BROOKLYN TIMES.

ENGLAND has added another fatal
mistake to her long list of almost in
credible errors. From the graves of
these victims will sprout rank
growth Of hatred against the British
Government in Ireland that no Home
Rule Act, no plea of military neces-
sity, no claim of defense or patriot
ism will be able to weed out. One
might presume that some one in all
of England would have had the good
sense to counsel leniency, or patience,
or delay at least, so as to permit the
spirit of rebellion to be lulled to sleep
until after the war. But the Asquith
government can see nothing but, its
own ends. 1t Numbered at Gallipoli;
it blundered at Kut-el-Amara, and it
has blundered at Dublin. It is always
laundering. It does not know how to
make concessions. It does not know
how to proceed with caution, with cir
cumspection, and with common sense.
1t lives in the FOOLS paradise that it's
will, supreme in England itself, will
be acknowledged supreme the world
over. This arrogance so far has led
to loss of prestige that no mere War
Office announcements can replace,
that has made the Germans SO cock
sure of victory, and the French so
cOntemptuOus of their superciliOus
ally. True, rebellion is thing not to
be countenahced. II Washington had
been caught as was Pearse, would
there be United States of America?
After all, it was but question of ma
chine guns in Britain's hands that
made Pearse lose, and a lack Of them
on Britain's side that made this repub-
lic."

Press Comments Upon the Irish Revolt Taken
From Representative Papers Of the Country

England Is in principle the enemy
of all maritime nations. The object
of England is the permanent domin.
ion of the ocean, and the monopoly OF
the trade of the world. To do this
she must keep larger fleet than her
resources will maintain. THE RE-
SOURCES OF OTHER NATIONS
THEN MUST BE IMPRESSED TO
SUPPLY THE DEFICIENCY OF HER
OWN. This is sufficiently developed
and evidenced by her successive
strides towards the usurpation of the
sea.-JEFFERSON.
