to be hoped such a procedure will
not be deemed necessary in this case,
II the rule Is laid down here, II

Their delay in getting results; II
means, in the end, utter disgust with

that the corporations do not; and II
warns them that IL they invoke now
the full resources Of the laws techni-

THE COTTON WONDER

Taking spot and future prices as
a whole, cotton yesterday command
ed better figures on the exchanges
of the country, than in forty years
on May IS. II is one Of the won
ders of our business situation, this
recovery of cotton from the deadly
depression into which 1t fell, as a
market factor, shortly after the be-
ginning of the war.
The market reports say that every
option is now comfortably above
Is cents per pound. Liverpool prices
were strong to upward, reaching
higher than at any time since the
climax of the bull movement in 1904.
This report from Liverpool is not
SO important as it might be in other
years because of the shortage Of bot
toms, and the high tonnage rates
for shipping. Much more significant
is the fact that such prices as these
were quoted at the close in domes-
tic markets:

GOOD cARSAND GOOD ROADS

Americans should be both proud
and ashamed of the latest cross-con-
tinent automobile record, z days IL
hours and IS. minutes, or nearly four
days under the best previous mark.
They may we'll be proud Of the
automobile and those manufacturers
who made the feat possible, no less
than the driver who had the grit
and endurance to put it through.
But the condition of the roads on
part of the journey is disgrace to
the nation.
At one place the best time that
could be made for 300-mile stretch
was eighteen hours. Ten record miles
consumed two hours, in which the
powerful machine wallowed ahead on
continuous low speed. The roads
throughout, of course, were the best
that could be found through the par
ticular sections it was necessary to
traverse. What would have been en-
countered had the tourists plunged
blindly ahead may be imagined.
There is no better investment for
a community, particularly a rural
community, than good roads. Some
of our States, notably New York,
have discovered that. Good roads
mean cheaper prices for purchases,
since deliveries can be made more
economically, and, for the farmer,
higher net return for his crops. Be-
sides their material value, they pro-
mote social intercourse and elevate
perceptibly, through permitting
freer interchange of ideas, the
mental plane of a countryside.
Good roads are a necessary, not .
luxury. Honestly made and main
tanned, the money spent on them is
bound to return high dividends to
every one.

Justice Department

A new home for the Department or
Justice, to cost approximately s3UO.OVo.

Wardman at the northeast corner or
the intersection OF Vermont avenue ana
X streets northwest. Mr.. wardman
signed the contract with officials of the
department yesterday. long term

final details Of the plans have been COM
pleted.
The building Will be eight stories in
height and will rent for $4,000 a year.
The construction will be of REINFORCED
concrete. The frontage on X street
will be 40 feet and on Vermont avenue
ia feet, giving a total OF approximately
100000 square feet Of moor space to the
department.
Mr.. Wardman owned a large lot at
Vermont avenue and X streets, but to
obtain ground space requisite for a
building OF the size desired. he yester-
day purchased from Thomas l.. Casey
premises 14l9 X street northwest at a
cost of $4,000. The lot is improved with
a four-story dwelling. which will be
RACED to make way for the new build
ing.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-05-20

Swedes, who are by TO means slug
gish Of comprehension, asserted that
for temporary ramparts and en-
placements these had a most pom
derous look.
The London censor has the cabled
dispatch saying the Swedish govern
msnt no longer feels alarm and that
"it is believed that Sweden in the
past ten days has received new as
surances in this respect, Russia de-
claring that her only intention is TO
defend the islands against possible
capture by the Germans"
All Of which readJ well, but It will
be a long time before Swede
salutes a Russian with a kiss on
Easter morn, or before Russian in
vites such brotherly salute from a
Swede. What is the price of Sweden's
peace cannot be known definitely for
years, but certainly part Of II is a
thriving trade with Russia, risky
but no doubt profitable surreptitious
trade with the central powers. Added
perhaps is the definite promise Of
the Aland Islands themselves, with
Russia's pledge Endorsed by France
and Great Britain. To the diplo-
matists Of the latter two powers
probably is due the peaceful out
come.
