MORE ATTENTION TO BRIDGES
Could Be Put to More Use on Many
Of the Small Farms.

We will never be able to readily
make much use of the gas or steam
tractor on the farms until we make up
our minds to pay more attention to our
roads and bridges Especially the
bridges They are the greatest men.
ance to the tractor and the tractor
driver, and there has been little i'm
provement in the type of bridges since
the engine was put to work on the
farms, writes William E. Rose OF Iowa
in Farm Progress.
1t Is rather strange that we are will
ing to use the traction engine to pull
our road plows and our road graders
and still refuse to build bridges and
culyerts strong enough to allow the
same engine to pass in safety when
pulling threshing outfit or a train Of
farm wagons. But it is the truth, new
ertheless
In spite OF all the possibilities of the
tractor, or the old-fashioned traction
engine, lot OF people look upon it as
an ugly contraption that ruins road
surfaces, smashes culverts, breaks
down bridges, scares horses and sets
fire to meadows and rail fences.
1t is altogether wrong. We could
make splendid use Of the tractor on
any and all farms of more than eighty
acres. Some day we will make these
engines do much OF the work, the
heavy hauling done by horse teams,
and we will save money by so doing.
But that time will not come until we
have better roads. And that cannot
comes to pass until we get a better su-
pervision of road building than we
have at present.
In many states the traction driver
who crosses bridge takes a chance
not only of injury to himself and his
expensive engine, but also assumes the
liability of having to repair the bridge
If he breaks it down. Such laws dis
courage the use of tractors as much
as they do better road building. The
bridges are the worst feature OF this
condition.
The tractor has right to use the
public highways. 1t has just as much
right to the public road as the heavy
automobile, the overloaded farm wag.
on or any other heavy conveyance
The men who build such engines and
the men who would like to own and
use them should insist that these ma
chimes be given that right No one
dreams Of forcing the automobile of
the public highways now. and the over
loaded farm wagon has used the public

Stirring Times in
Mexico and the
United States.

There are stirring times very
similar to the DAYS that immed
lately followed the blowing w
of the Maine at Havana in 1898.
Our army is on the move t.
protect our frontiers, Soldiers
are being mobolized from all
over the country. The feet sails
soutbw to blockade the ports
of Mexico Unnecessary. Our army
of occupation rs we'll in Mexico.
Watchful waiting failed at the
crisis. Anarchy and outrage
brought their inevitable effects.
AS being responsible for the pol
icing of the Western continent,
Uncle Sam must clean up the
Southern Republic. 1t is a dut,
we owe to the world in general
and to the Mexican people in
particular.
Carranza is a failure. He hopes
to become the most popular man
in Mexico by his stand against
the United States. He will sue
coed for IL time, till Mexico learns
her lesson from our soldiers.
Villa has triumphed in that he
has brought about what he de-
sired, either war or intervention.
Villa is smarter than CarranZa.
We anticipate a union OF Villa
and Zapata with Carranza to
drive our our soldier boys. There
is no real enmity between these
three Their differences would
be forgotten IN their common
hatred of the "gringoes."
Mexican armies so called are
not formidable in n stand up
fight. They will be stronger as
guerilla fighters. There will be
call undoubtedly for a large
of Western rough riders.
These can render very effective
service against the Mexicans.
This Mexican trouble is Il very
one. but Uncle Sam
must clean up the house, and
make it decent.

PROHIBITION QUESTION
MAY COME UP AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga, Dec, Although
Georgia is experiencing some diff
hculties which naturally attend
the enforcement of new and radi-
cal laws, and although there is I'm
doubtedly some room for i'm
provement, it is now generally
admitted that the whole of the
state is solidly behind the pro-
hlbltlon measures which became
effective on last May LIST, and that
the saloon has gone from the state
to stay.
Leaders in all communities
point to the Elimination of public
drinking, to the Improvement in
general economic conditions. to
the decrease of crime and violence
and to an aroused public senti-
ment which already has accepted
these benefits as proof positive in
bits. r. w
Fulton county already has clos
ed hve of its convict camps as a
result OF the falling off in prison
ers, and it has been estimated bv
authorities of the State Prison
Commission that the general fall
ing OFT IN convicts throughout the
state has averaged at least Is Der
cent. P'
Yet in this very situation lies >
menace to the prohibition laws
IN /, the belief of good MANY bro,
hibltlon leaders, for when the
public begins to accept them as a
matter OF course, then the enc
mes OF the laws are likely to be-
gin attempts to undermine them
Prohibition will still be an is
sue IN the next legislature, unless
al political signs are worthless.
Evidence is not lacking that the
whlskey and beer interests are
planning an attack upon them in
the form of weakening amend
ments, Already the laws are be-
ing assalled in the courts. The
speakership race between N. F.
Culpepper of Meriwether, and w.
ii. Burwell, of Hancock, bids fair
to test the strength of the prohi
bltlon forces in the house of rep
resentatives at the very outset of
the session, since Representative
Culpepper was one of the floor
leaders in the memorable fight of
1915 which won the enactment of
the laws.
