FARMERS FOR IT
Plan of Good Roads Boosters
Finds Much Favor.
Property Owners Along Pro-
posed Route Enthusiastic.

Results, far better than expected
were obtained by the Good Roads
boosters who went over the Red Line
route and interviewed farmers on the
proposed Topeka-Lawrence-k
City hard surface road proposition
And a good representation of the men
living on that route will be present
tonight at the Commercial club at a
dinner and lecture with slides deliv-
cred by John Marvellous of Kansas
City.
Some Of the wealthiest land owners
on the route expressed themselves in
favor of the Good Roads project. Just
a little way out of Topeka lives John
Peck, who owns several hundred acres
on both sides of the proposed route
Mr.. Peck probably voiced the sentl-
ment of a majority of property own
ers in the proposed benefit district
when he told Robert Billiard and
George w Stansfield that he favored
and would dig dow. into his pockets
for q good road providing it wasn't a
Joke as some of the Good Roads with
alleged hard surface are around To-
peka now.
Mr.. Peck, after a short talk, ap-
peared to become convinced that the
boosters are sincere and went to the
telephone and called twenty farmers
who promised to do their best to get
into the city. Out near Watson A Z.
Nagel and Fred Nipps interviewed j.
s. Milliken, whose family owns 1000
acres of land in the benefit district
and he expressed himself in favor of
such a project.
At Watson a ladies sewing circle
was in progress and the Topeka boost
ers made a short Good Roads address
to them. Dozens of sinila.' optimistic
interviews with the farmers were held
by the various road boosters whose
automobiles tore up and down the
Red Line route.

him to a local hospital. At the hos

were probably not serious, although
he had not fully regained conscious

Wall St., New York, March 1o.-STOCKS
Prices continued to advance subject to re-
cessions due to realizing sales. United
States Steel led the list on its advance to
Sfss and Zinc was next, rising two to the
new price of SO while Butte and Superior
added four at 90. Crucible and American
and Baldwin were the foremost among the
war shares at the gains of 1 to poin t.
Marine preferred supplemented its initial
rise and Mexican Petroleum made full re
eovery. Bethlehem Steel opening down 3
at 4S1, soon rose to 495. Sales of Anglo
French 5s in large individual blocks at 81,
a material concession from their recent
best, featured the bond market
Some hesitation, resulting in all prob
ability from the latest turn of affairs in
Mexico. marked the outset of today's trad
ing. Mexican Petroleum declined two
points and American Smelling was slightly
lower, with fractional recessions in B. and
o., New Haven and Central Leather. This
was more than counterbalanced, however,
by moderate advances elsewhere notab bly,
in the recently active Coppers. Marine pre-
ferred md Baldwin, Butte and Superior
with its regular and extra dividends of
10% per cent removed was quoted at 95, Il
new high record. Texas Company selling
''ex-Hghts'' to new stock was quoted at
100. The market strengthened all around
later.

THE slNEws OF WAR

A campaign was started in New
York the other day to raise funds to
build a training school and enlarge
the industrial home and hospital OF
the Salvation Army. In the first
day 100000 was collected, and $75,-
600 of that came from those the
Army had rescued from poverty and
degradation.
That just about tells the story Of
the Salvation Army. 1t is beloved
and believed in by it's own.
You may go into our best uplift
circles, and you will not hear much
about it. It is unscientific. 1t does
not spend three-quarters Of its in
come to see that the other quarter
goes right. 1t does not ask ques-
tions before it fills empty stomachs.
Some of the people in it-running it,
that is-are really impossible.
But go down into the slums, go
down into the cheap saloons and
dance halls, and there you will hear
Of it. There the blare of its crude
music and the Guavering voices of
It's faithful sisterhood will drown out
the alluring tinkle of the electric
piano. There you will find it fight
ing the devil as valiantly as man
may, and binding the wounds of
those who have fallen in the same
fray.
Most assuredly the Salvation
Army does deserve the funds it
seeks. It does a work which origi-
mated with it, and which will last
only SO long as it lasts. 1t believes
in doing good and preaching after
ward, which is not the usual order
Of performance.
The Washington times., 1916-04-13

it is impossible not to be impressed
that Russia stands to pay the big
gest bill Of war costs, il the entente
shall be defeated. For Russia with
out Poland, Courland, Livonia, Lithu-
ania, would be no Russia at all; a
Russia Of medieval time, Of steppes
and SHOWS, with Moscow once more
its dominating center, II not its po-
litical capital.
Russia, rolled back upon itself in
this fashion, would be far worse bot
tied up than Germany is. Germany's
excuse for making this war is that
she must break her bonds and get
out where she can see and touch and
feel the world. She complains that
Britain hens her in; that British
sea control must be crushed, in the
interest Of human freedom.
And yet, complaining thus Of Brit
ain, Germany proposes to impose on
Russia conditions a thousand times
worse than those which she charges
Britain with inficting on Germany!
