THE WATERLOO WAY.

We. the people Of Black Hawk
county. for the past several years
have heard prominent men talk gooo
roads. but never before have we WIZ
messed the countrywide enthusiasm
that has been manifested the past
few weeks relative to the SITUATION
in the county. Never before In the
history of Waterloo has more prac-
teal. enthusiastic gathering OF men
congregated in one place 10 take AZ
ton toward 'bettering the road con-
dttions than at the big mass meeting
held at the army last Monday after
noon. Il was truly a success, as farm-
ers, businessmen and professional men
voiced their opinion alike, and as a re-
suit practical action will be taken to
pull Black Hawk county out of the
mud
BE is resolved that the board Of SUI
pervisors of Black Hawk county should
permanently grade and gravel the en-
tire county road system within fVe
years, and issue bonds SO as to distrio-
ute the cost equitably over a period Oh
Years, provided that said bonds can
be paid without any increase in our
county road tax levies." I"
The above resolution which was
unanimously adopted by 800 enthusl-
asttc road boosters at the meeting
held in the armory last Monday means
much to Black Hawk county. 1t means
that the county board of supervisors
complying with the wishes of the resi-
dents Of Black Hawk county will issue
bonds, and action Will SOON be taken
to permanently grade and gravel the
entire county road system within the
next five years. It means that residents
of Waterloo, Cedar Falls. La Porte
City, Hudson, Dunkerton, Dewar,
Gilbertsville and every township in
the county will receive direct benefit
from this all important move. The time
has come not only to talk good roads
but to build them. and this is the most
logical step that Black Hawk county
could take. r%ta +s r. 49,

TOM STEELE DID RIGHT.


Some criticism, especially from
democratic quarters. has been leveled
at Congressman Tom Steele and other
members of the Iowa delegation at
Washington for voting against the
president on the McLemore resolution
warning Americans to stay off armed
ships of belligerent nations. The
News Herald believes this criticism
unjust. and hegs to inquire What is
the use of having a congress il it must
always do as the president does p
Why not elect president and let him
run things without the trouble and
expense Of whipping a congress into
line? IL we want a king let's pro-
claim one. and call our dummy con-
gressmen home.
The McLemore resolution would not
have injured the president nor compli
Gated matters internationally. On the
other hand 1t would have greatly
strengthened this nation in her deal
ings with the madmen Of Europe for
she would be able to say I'VE have
done all We can do: now you must
do little" and the delicate question
of foreign relations would have been
so much more easily solved.
! AS matter of fact the McLemore
resolution would have been amended
to take care OF the presidents foreign
policy, but at the same time it would
have carried Instructions to Americans
/ to refrain from boarding armed ships
| of belligerent nations. Congressman
Steele should have no regrets for the
way he voted. and his action showed
the highest kind Of patriotism, for
there is no greater patriotism on earth
than the desire. which the Iowa con-
| gressmen show, to keep this country
out of war.
! A congressman who can not think
and act for himself is no congressman
at all. u

The sugg estion was brought out at
the last Mems Club to pay the public
school teachers salaries that will hold
them, notes the Anamosa Eureka.
There has been tendency to make
the Anamosa schools a sort of train
ing school for teachers. Because the
district did not meet the wage scale of
other schools. teachers. after their ex-
perlenCe here. were able to go to bet
IT paying jobs If a teacher is worth
$40 month during her first year in
public school work, it is easy TO see
that she could be worth S4o the sec
ond year of her work in the same
school. Give the teachers a fair wage.

ought TO get good pay. and take their
