Without something is done to
systematic methods of road con-
struction engineers, without know
ledge or experience will be put in
charge in some counties; contract
ors with poor equipment will be
trying to operate; poor material
will be used because its quality is
unknown. All this may furnish
sad experience to the state, pro-
vided it is not guarded against in
the beginning.
The Kentucky Good Roads AS
ISOLATION will serve to prevent this
condition by connecting up those
who are authorities with those who
need advice and are to build the
roads. 1t will be the purpose of
the association hereafter to keep
in touch with men who are really
qualified and who know by actual
the correct method of
good construction, and to convey
their ideas and methods to the
different counties. 1t is the duty,
of course, Of the State Highway
Department to supervise the con-
struction of roads but it will be
up to the commissions and Fiscal
courts of the different counties as
to who shall build the roads, the
material to be used and the kind
of roads to be built. II is with
these local organizations that the
association plans to cooperate and
with it hopes to serve.

Chilesburg. Stanley Glaze, aged
10 years and his cousin, Logan Nc
Carly were the victims. According
to the train crew and others the

SYSTEM VITAL IN ROAD WORK

During the past year ty-four
counties have voted $6,155,0OO in
bonds for road purposes. These
figures do not include small amounts
voted in several other counties
There will be fifteen others voting
bonds in the next two months,
which will mean another $4,000, 900.
Judging from the present good
road sentiment, practically every
county in the state in which roads
are bad, will have voted bonds
within the next year. This good
work is the result of the efforts
made by the Kentucky Good Roads
Association.
1t seems that the work of the
association might be at an end, but
really its greatest efforts are to be
accomplished. The question Of
aronsing interest and getting money
for roads is indeed a great ques-
ton, but the one still greater and
the one facing the association at
present is that of getting these
roads built without an extravagant
expenditure Of money.
The state has about four million
dollars now floating loose to be
used in building roads. This money
may be used economically and
every cent to the best advantage;
on the other hand, it may be used
.extravagantly and without any
system whatsoever.
Generally speaking, the people
of Kentucky have not had great
experience in building roads. Con-
seauently no established system
has been formed. Every county
necessarily must use an experiment
ed method of building roads, which
is very dangerous and liable to
cause great dissatisfaction on the

Mrs. Harvey Hunt, aged 81 years.
died at her home in Clark county
Saturday morning. Whether her
death was the result of a fall or an
attack of heart trouble was not de-
termined, however death resulted a
short time after she was seen to fall
on the porch of her home and be-
fore medical attention could be Civ

Christian woman and was popular
with large circle of friends. She
was related to the Hunt family of

Serious Business for Congress.

President Wilson is to appear before the two
Houses OF Congress today to lay before them the
details of this governments controversy with
Germany over the murder of American citizens
travelling the high seas on unarmed merchant
ships, murder committed in defiance of the pro-
many's pledges 1t will not be surprising, how
ever, should the President take occasion also TO
inform Congress of the status of our army in
Mexico and the relations between the United
States government and the de facto government
OF Mexico The administrations dealings with
both Germany and Mexico have reached the crit
ieal stage, and SO far as the public may Judge
from the knowledge at its command, the more
urgent need is for action by Congress to govern
our course in Mexico in the immediate future.
1t is announced that final note to Germany
already has been prepared, and If it is COM
muncation worth reading at all its terms will re-
quire instant assurances from Germany that shall
be proof against evasion, as the only means of
preserving friendly relations between the two
countries Presumably this communication will
be forwarded at once II is not suggested, nor
is It conceivable that the Presidents purpose in
addressing Congress is to ask its approval before
sending it; nor is it at all probable that he in
tends to leave to vote of Congress the question
OF breaking off diplomatic relations with Germany
IN the event of an unsatisfactory reply. The more
reasonable inference is that it is his purpose to-
present the entire situation so that Congress may
be early advised of his intentions, in the event
that the necessary assurances do not come from
Germany and may prepare for whatever is likely
to follow the departure of Won Bernstoff from
Washington and Gerard from Berlin.
1t is none too early for Congress to concern
itself with the German situation and it would ap-
pear that the time for it to adopt a definite policy
toward Mexico arrived days ago, when Car
ranza's demand for the withdrawal of orr troops
made imperative decision whether to comply orr
to send larger army to join Pcrshing's forces
without wasting moment. Pcrshing's force is
now not only poweress to proceed further in full
filling its mission, but it is in actual peril of at
tack by the hostile followers Of Carranza There
must be quick action of some sort in Washington
The public will be gratfed and relieved now
that the President has decided to share with Con-
gress of the grave responsibilities that have
crowded upon him. IT, besides placing the entire
German situation before Senate and House he
still deems it wise also to ask for the immedi-
ate adoption Of definite present policy in Mexico
he will win universal approval.

An Unseemly Wrangle.

To many laymen outside the halls of Con-
gress and to many military men, both in the
regular service and in the militia, the acrimonious
debate in the United States Senate on the bill to
provide for the defense of the nation seems as
unnecessary mischievous. There has never
been antagonism between the regular army and
the National Guard Of the country. On the con-
trary most cordial relations are shown in the
record of all their association with each other
For many years the officers and enlisted men of
the two organizations have met in annual target
practice and instruction camps, where tho best
OF good fellowship and enthusiasm for their mill
tary duties obtained among them.
1t quite natural that officers OF the Ma
tional Guard should be concerned when they saw
provision made in the military preparedness bills
before Congress for an additional and larger
militia force than their own-whch was to be
raised and fostered entirely under Federal au-
thority. The National Guard Of the various States
had for several years been fostered-more re-
Gently by the Dick bill, so called-through ap-
preparations by Congress for their better organiza-
tion and efficiency The proposed establishment
of another militia force-the volunteer army
wholly under Federal authority, might interfere
with their aid toward efficiency and moved
by the situation several prominent officers of the
Guard from different sections of the country came
to Washington in the interest of their organiza-
tions.
They promptly designated lobbyists and
politicians by certain statesmen, who may have
been moved much by selfshness as patriotism
in their advocacy of raising regiments in their dis
tricts under Federal patronage. The National
Guard officers did not come here to oppose the
proposed volunteer army. They came, as they
had the right to do, to that their own organi-
zston not left out in the aid given to all the
military forces OF the country for their better
ment. But they were severely criticised for COM
ing here and told they had expended too much
Federal money for too little service the money
being largely used up by the officers, instead of
the enlisted men, in military training in summer
camps, target practice, etc, etc.
And then uprose the ndiscreet defenders of
the National Guard who accused the regular army
officers of using up the money, sneering at their
gold braid and aristocratic airs of superior educa-
ton, their antagonism to citizen soldiers, incud-
ing the National Guard, and strongly intimating
that in case of war the country was to Be saved
only by volunteers and the National Guard In
short the debate in the Senate last week was a
disgusting exhibition of small prejudices and the
lack of grasp Of serious situation.

send it's airs abroad and create inter

1t had particularly threatened to
bring about serious nisunderstandings
between England and the United
States. Most Of the confederate priva-
teers and swift cruisers that had
played havoc with the sea-going trade
Of the United States during the earlier
years of the war had been built in
English ship yards and had come from
English ports. Their arms and equip
nnent had been bought in England. Their
officers had waited for them in England

English banks.

itself bound to prevent all overt at

Of its ports and waters as base Of naval
