COST OF MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANT THING

Public road improvement in
Kentucky is beginning 10 reach a
gigantic scale, and it is estimated
I at the Department of Public Roads
that the total expended on roads in
Kentucky this year under State SUI
pervision will be not less than S4,-
| 100000. OF the 100 counties, 1913
have applied for State aid and twen-
ty-fve have their work under way
IA Frankfort Dispatch.
The Courier-Journal, in COM
menting on the above, editorially
says:
This expenditure is for the State
aid roads alone. 1t does not in
clude the expense of maintaining or
constructing county roads other
than those improved by the State
and the county in conjunction.
The counties which are engaging
in State-aid road building cannot be
too often reminded that the build
ing of road is only the beginning
of the task of reducing the cost of
hauling and increasing the Joy of
living. The county which builds
better roads than it can maintain,
or will maintain, is pouring meal in
a rat hole. 1t will prove expensive
meal poured into a very deep and
well-populated rat hole before the
payers of interest upon bonded in
debtedness get through with their
payments.
The State, having aided in max
ing the road. must leave the county
to keep it in condition. 1t is the
best sort of economy to keep the
road in condition, but it costs a good
deal of money. If there is failure
either to appropriate the needed
money or to make it go as far as it
should, the counties aided by the
State will live to see their improved
roads disappear while their interest
payments are inexorable.
How much will be spent in 1917
to maintain the 100000 worth of
State-aid roads built this year? The
amount should be about per cent.
of the 81, 100000 next year and ev-
cry year thereafter. The per cent.
must be applied to repairs made
economically. and not to the salts
faction of country grafters, If appre-
cable results are desired.

Has Created Excitement
In Germany.
AMERICA IS TRULY NEUTRAL
No Such Thing as ChivaIry Is
Known in the War, lie
Declares.
NJ. HARDEN's STRONG COMMENT

New York, May Further ex-
tracts from Macmillan Harden's re-
markable editorial, entitled "If ]
Were Wilson," in which he takes
the German people to task and de-
tends the neutrality of the United
| States, causing a sensation in Ger
many, are given in a dispatch from
Karl Won Wiegand. correspondent.
of the New York World in Berlin:
Germany and Austria-Hungary
scold u.s." Harden says, because
arms and ammunition out of Amer
lean factories are delivered to their
enemies, and because we, according
to their belief, without the slightest
right, place a restraint upon their
conduct of the war, and because we
are supposed to mix in where we
have no business. Such double
charge and accusation is the fate
of all who unprejudicially and i'm
partially strive in the interest of
Justice
Harden excoriates both sides and
in an IF | Were Wilson voice calls
on the warning people to return to
their sense and see where their car
mage is leading them. Harden, as if
President Wilson were speaking,
presents Americas case with clear
ness. During the long duration of
the war the government of the Unit
ed States has never taken the small
est step which to a clear head could
be considered as an offense or viola
tion of the duty of neutrality"
Harden says that such a thing as
chivalry is unknown in the terrible
carnage to-day of the people of Eu-
rope. There is no relation between
war of gigantic guns, mines, gas
and liquid fire, high explosives, tor
pedoes and aerial bombs. with the
chivalrous fighting of even the nine
teenth century. He speaks of from
the depths of the seas Sitting open
the belly of defenseless ships carry
ing a cargo of human beings" and
the starvation of children, and again
in President Wilson's voice:
Submarine war against defense
less merchant ships is not permissi-
BILE under international law, and is
contrary and repugnant to the pri-
NAL sentiment and demands of civ
ilized humanity to outlaw the armed
assailant of the unarmed."
Coming to Germany's complaint
that President Wilson is one-sided
in his attitude with respect to the
British blockaders disregard of
American rights, he says:
THAT blockade has choked off
our commercial Intercourse with Eu-
rope and assumes the right to search
and confiscate. 1t would long ago
have brought us down on the Brit
ish, had not Germany. through kill
ing Americans, for nearly year,
again done us much deeper injury.
Much louder than mercantile and
monetary loss are the cries of the
widowed, the orphaned and the
mourning parents. Despite this, the
manner in which England is apply
ing it's blockade power is irrecon-
ciliable with international law"
Continuing, Hefden. always
speaking as If he were President
Wilson, says the relations of Ger
many and America were brought to
a crisis by the terrible ending of
the Lusitania."
