children to contribute dime each. has
received a letter from Secretary Daniels
Of the navy returning her, ten-cent-
stamp contribution forwarded by the
newspaper. Mr.. Daniels wrote that the
revenue for the naval construction
would be obtained by taxation in the
usual manner" and that ne believed in
dividual contributions unnecessary.
In her letter to the newspaper Miss
Marjorie said:
II read in your paper every morning a
great deal about preparedness. My
grandpa and gfeat-grandpa were sol
diers. II 1 was q boy I would be SOL
der, too. But I am not so 1 want to

Reply Of Secretary Daniels.
Secretary Daniels. to whom the
stamps and letter were sent by the
newspaper, wrote q personal letter to
little Miss Sterrett in which he said:
THE editor Of the New York Tribune
has been kind enough to send me, with
your letter of February I'd. the 10 cents
, in stamps which you sent him as your
contribution toward the construction OF
a battleship. Your patriotic action ia
indeed commendable. and congratulate
you on the motives which prompted
your action, but / am returning the
stamps herewith. The revenue re-
quired for such naval construction az
the representatives Of the people be-
lieve to be justified and necessary will
be obtained by taxation in the usual
manner. and believe that every Ameri-
can like yourself will gladly submit to
the taxation which his spokesman see
At to impose, and will thereby make
unnecessary individual contributions
Believe me, with very best wishes, ETC.

Mankato Review: Shakespeare in
"Measure for Measure' put into the
mouth of one Of his characters, sol
der, these words: s'There's not a
soldier Of us all that, in the thanks
giving before meat, do relish the petit
ton that prays for peace The words
quoted Immediately follow reference
by another character to ga sancti-
monious pirate" who carried to sea
the ten commandments but took care
to erase |'Thou shalt not steal, - from
the tablet. It would appear that q
militaristic element to which peace is
undesirable is no new thing in the
world. Shakespeare knew human ma.
tnre as we'll or better than any man
that ever lived and he knew that it
was as improbable that soldier would
sincerely pray for peace as it was that
pirate would respect the command
against theft. Increase the number of
professional soldiers and you increase
the number Of those who have an in

Under the decree any citizen of tho

in view Of the frequency with
which outrageous crimes are being
committed by bands of outlaws scat.
tered in various parts of the republic.

Francisco Villa, under whose orders
they were operating, and in accord

IN some cases occurring in the past,
I have seen tlt to issue the following

THE WORST THING FOR GOOD
ROADS

"Perhaps the worst thing which
could happen to the cause of good
roads," says Farm and Fireside,
."would be the building Of all those
now needed, with no provision for
keeping them up after their compile
ton. No permanent road is perma-
nent in the sense Of not needing re!
pairs and upkeep. We have shown in
these columns that concrete roadway
Is feet wide can be kept in condition
for twenty years or more by the ex-
penditure Of from $25 to $35 per mile
a year. There is probably no road,
permanent or temporary, which can be
kept in really good condition for less.
"Some charge for maintenance there
surely will be on every permanent
road. When issues Of bonds for bet
ter roads are voted on, this matter Of
maintenance should be provided for.
''1n many cases the permanent road
will be far easier to maintain by the
ordinary tax levy than were the old
unimproved highways. In such cases
the new road, instead of adding to the
local burden, will tighten it,
