Rush For Good Roads

The year 1916 will witness an I'M
exampled extension in the building
of firm roads in the United States.
Not one state, but all states are inter
ested in what, by common consent,
has become a countrywide movement.
A leading reason for this welcome fact
is the practical realization of the truth
that permanent highways are a gilt
edged investment. In the end, and
not remotely, they bring to a commun-
ity more money than they cost. Any
one who has seen the manner in which
they wake up a neighborhood, stimu-
lating it's activities in all directions,
know that this result it too plain to
be denied, and that it is Of an immed-
late nature. The new prospect for
good roads is fortunately based on a
popular conviction that they pay, and
that to be without them is to be on
the retired list with the unenterpris-
ing. 1t is now comparatively easy in
most OF the forty-eight states to put
county and state bond issues
for the substantial betterment of or

There is serious complaint that the
executive is now too strong in our
national government, that too much
legislation is written at the White
house, that something must be done to
restore the proper power to congress,
and so on.
Well, let's take a sample view One
day recently the house of representa-
tives was in committee of the whole
to consider Secretary Lanes bill for
leasing coal and oil lands. Represen-
tative Harrison of Massachusetts open
ed fire with a redhOt speech against
the export of munitions of war, Mr..
Slayden talked about Mexico, Mr.. Que
ZOn and three or four others had
some elOquence about Philippine in
dependence. Mr.. Mays of Utah, actual
ly talked for fifteen minutes on leaS-
ing coal and oil lands, but Mr. Hedge
sen debated Peary's title to the discov-
cry of the north pole, and Mr.. Ben
nett informed the house as to New
York City's harbOr requirements. Thir-
ty-tWO columns were added to the
congressional record, and three hours
consumed, One-twelfth on the subject!

Made In Wisconsin

Three years ago Wilson was civil
service enthusiast most ardent and
Tammany opponent most militant. He
also was a one term in principle and
accepted the Democratic platform
which pledged the party and it's can
didate to a single term. And now,
presto, change. He has become a
Jealous two termer and, being a can
didate, he is striving to secure the
support of all the elements of his
party, be they good, bad or indiffer-
ent And so Tammany, the rottenest
organization in the world, must now
be pandered to by the president to
gain its support, and hence the post
master of New York City is fired
without cause and Tammany is al
lowed to nominate his successor. Civil
service to the winds and clean politics
also to the winds unless you can use
them to further your own ends.-The

READING THE EXCHANGES"

Every craft has its One of the Affections
of the newspaper business is found in the fact that
pie generally think it's work to get out paper says
the Emporia Kansas Gazette. One of the hardest jobs
every editor hasthough generally the pleasanest-is
to read his exchanges But it is hard work. and it must
be done For the editor who gets day or two back
in his exchanges catches And the thing that
makes him maddest though he will look up and greet
with smile the stranger who does it, is for man to
come in saying well, I you sitting there doing
nothing but reading, thought I'd the time Of day
with you"
Remember this, you who have business with the editor
It's all right to in when he's reading writing
editing copy but don't get it into your head that when
he's reading his exchanges you have in for the idle
hour How editor get ideas if he doesn't read
other mems ideas Do think he sits down and thinks
EN- out Of his head. Well he doesn't He reads score
of papers morning and from one or two he gets
suggestion or two Sometimes he finds item that
makes him mad; then he writes we'll Sometimes
rant item, pay local, Geographic head, advertise
ment rich strain of suggestions But the
wreck the train and make your stupid and
nane is to busng in when he is reading the ex
changes. He is doing the best work of the day.

'Buy no seeds of any kind from
travelling agents who claim to have
something much better than can be
obtained in Wisconsin," is the sugges-
ton made by A. L. Stone, state seed
inspector. He reports that last year
some of the growers signed contracts
for seed at high prices but found that
the seed, when delivered, was not as
good as could have been purchased
from neighbOrs or Wisconsin dealers
and for less than half the money.
When they tried to avoid payment it
was discovered that the contracts
were promissOry notes and that there
was no escape. River Pioneer.

binary highways, and these are the
ones that have been most neglected or
inefficiently handled
The HOllanders have a proverb that
paint costs nothing. They do not
mean that the materials for painting
or the labor required costs nothing,
but that the preservative properties of
paint are more than an offset for the
expense. Many are the items of adj
vantage on the side of good roads
Probably the increase in land values
alone would be sufficient return to
put the balance on the right side
But this advantage is scarcely more
valuable than more economic trans
pOrtation, the saving of time, and the
reduction of wear and tear. Good roads
cost nothing in the eventual account
ing. Bad roads are constant leak
and hardship.
Votes on bond issues for scientific
road construction show, in all parts
Of the country, this important change
in the attitude of the average citizen
on this subject-Exchange.

est. Louis Globe-Democrat)


The outstanding fact disclosed in the
partial report on conditions in Mexi-
co which Secretary Lansing has sent
to the Senate, is the increased turbu-
lence and violence which followed the
over throw of the Huerta provisional
government by United States arms.
The Globe-DemOcrat Est. Louis) has
more than once commented on this
obvious fact, but the administration
has discreetly withheld all infOrma
ton pertaining to Mexican affairs un-
til called upon by the Senate for in
formation which can be made public
compatibly with national interest. In
the answer, it is set out that to trans
NIT all or any considerable part of
the diplomatic exchanges, consular
reports or reports of special ENJOYS
or representatives of other powers
acting for the United States in Mexi-
co, would be prejudicial to individ-
uals still in Mexico whose activities
would be revealed. None of such re-
ports is included in the matter trans
mitted. We are, accordingly, left as
much in the dark as before touching
the motives and mainsprings of the
strange reversal of our continental
policy in dealing with Spanish-Amer
lean revolutions. But in the list of
Americans who died violent deaths in
Mexico in 1913-14-15 the effects of that
reversal of policy are to be clearly
seen.

Light On Mexico

Huerta became provisional president
of Mexico in February, 1913, under
the constitutional form of Mexican
law. All of that year and half Of the
next he maintained a stable govern
ment in by far the greater part of the
country under the handicap of the
Washington administration refusing
to recognize his title to office. Under
such a disadvantage and its aid and
comfort to enemies, the Huerta prOvis-
ional government was able to hold the
number of Americans killed down to
less than One-third the number killed
during the MaderO wars. FOrty-SiX
Americans were killed in the country
in three years of Madero revolution
and government while, charging the
two full years 1894 to Huerta, only
fourteen were killed and these mainly
in the district to which the war was
then confined Following the flight
of Huerta after our seizure of the
Vera Cruz custom house, the list of
American dead grew rapidly. In the
single year, 1915, seventy-five Ameri-
cans were killed in widely separated
points in the country, including John
B. McManus murdered in the capital
City of Mexico while defending his
home against a Zapatista attack. These
murders were committed by Yaqui In
dams, Villistas, Zapatistas and bandits
Of all stripes. The record of our in
efficiency and utter imbecility is
shocking.

PRAYER.

When the last sea is sailed, when the
last shadows charted,
When the last field is reaped and the
last harvest stored,
When the last fire is out and the last
guest departed,
Grant the last prayer that I shall pray,
be good to me, O Lord.
And let me pass in a night at sea, a
night of storm and thunder,
In the loud crying of the wind through
sail and rope and spar,
Send me ninth great, peaceful wave
to drown and roll me under,
To the cold tuny-fsh's home where
the drowned galleons are.
And, in the dim, green quiet place, far
out of sight and hearing,
Grant 1 may hear at whites the wash
and thresh of the sea foam
About the fine keen bows of the stately
clippers steering
Toward the lone Northern star and
the fair ports of home.
John Masefeld.

Life is gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
1t isn't a thing to be stored in the
chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and
treasure your best;
It isn't joy to be slipped now and
then
And promptly put back in the dark
place again.
Life is a gift that the humblest may
boast of
And one that the humblest may well
make most of,
Get out and live it each hour of the day
Wear it and use it as much as you
may;
Don't keep it in inches and corners
and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty
improves. Free Press.

Prosperity And the Railroads

Nothing prior to the advent of the
war industries justified their spending
a cent for new material Retrench-
ment was imperative if the require
ments Of labor and theInterstate Com
merce Commission were to be met
without bankruptcy. The difficulty of
borrowing has since then stood in the
way of preparation for approaching
opportunities
The result of unpreparedness in the
face of heavy demands on railroad ia
cilities is now looming up in the form
of freight congestion
