NO CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Republican Party Completely at

Two Efforts to Sound Keynote Have
Been Conspicuously Unsuccessful
Appeal for Offices Seems to
Be All That is Left.

The st. Louis Republic wonders
upon what issue the Republicans will
appeal to the country this year.
That is puzzle at this stage of the
game. The truth is. the Republicans
are waiting in the hope that events
will create an issue.
Never in the history of the country
was party so st sea with respect to
a campaign issue as the Republicans
are now.

cause the country is prosperous.

try is reveling in prosperity. They
can't plead military appropriateness.
Tor they turned the country over to
the Democratic party in a state OF de.
plorable appropriateness. and the Dem
ocratic administration is repairing
their neglect.
AS Tor the European war, they can't
plead that the administration has been
reckless, for it has kept the country
at peace; nor can they plead that it
has been unmindful of the national
honor, for it has been dealing with
European controversies in a sane. dig.

ton of all our rights without resort to

II the Mexican question has been
source of anxiety and dissatisfaction,
the Republicans are at least as much
responsible as the Democrats are.
MIR. Root tried to sound a keynote in
New York, but he offended the Ger.

THREE CLASSES OF HIGHWAYS
Classification is Prime Step In Fed
eral Aid TO Good Roads, Says
Congressman Borland.

With various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
classification OF highways so that
important through routes may be out
lined clearly from the country's maze
of thoroughfares of one kind or an
other. becomes a question of more
and more interest. Congressman w.
p. Borland OF Missouri. a good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself on
this subject as follows:
1t will be necessary, in my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high
ways into at least three classifcations.
The first class is that of the great
cross-state or interstate highways.
The second consists Of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads, local roads
or lanes. These various classes of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with view to the
amount Of traffic that they can bear
and must bear. The first class should
be of the most permanent and scien-
titic construction. The second class
could be OF a less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved
only to the extent that the community
required. The expense OF building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
THE roads of the first class should
be supported by the taxing power OF
a large area OF country. The second
class of roads should also have a
wide taxing power at least co.exten-
sive with the county and possibly
with a group of counties or with
some state aid. This would Leave
