More Good Roads.

Columbus Grim and Ed Snow, two of the leading citizens on Route 2, near Coin, have started good roads move ment between Green Forest and Alpena. Our citizens responded literally to donation fund when called upon by the two gentlemen named and with the splendid donation of both labor and cash by the citizens along the road it will only be a matter of just enough time to do the work till these wide awake people will have public high way that will not only lend comfort to themselves and teams. but will also enhance the value of their farms by many dollars.
 They have secured the use of the county grader and propose to build road worth while, and we say to others, Go thou and do likewise.

Cyrus Green, out in Michigan, has

MORE MIDSHIPMEN NEEDED.
Secretary Daniels Asks for Imme.
date Increase of Corps.

Immediate action by Congress to au-
thorize an increase in the corps of
midshipmer at Annapolis is urged by
Secretary Daniels in a letter to Chair
man Padgett of the House naval COM
mittee. The letter states that If the
full number of vacancies be made
available for appointments by members
Of Congress before March, the academy
will be able to handle a much larger
class next year. Congressman who are
ready to make their nominations should
be empowered to do SO at once. Mr..
Daniels suggests. and others should be
permitted to hold their vacancies open
to the following year.
The shortage Of officers available for
fleet duty. pointed out by Admiral
Fletcher in his annual report. has been
remedied largely, it is said. but the
transfer Of Officers to active vessels
has left vacancies.
The question of providing officers for
these vacancies and new ships to be
comm issioned in the next two or three
years Is one Of serious eoncsrn.

Have to Walk Half a Mile.

The thing which has the American
farmer sore. according to his representa-
tives in Congress. is the fact that some
chap that he never heard of before, that
came from the Post Office Department. by
lingo. went along the rural free delivery
routes. changed them all. and now, by
heck, lot Of fellows who used to get
mail delivered right at the door have to
walk half a mile to the crossroads to get
it. And there has never been a madden
bunch since a certain aggre CATION of
barons caught King John in the field at
Runimede and would not let him go until
he had signed Magma Charta.
To show how mad they are. there are
at least seventy-five representatives in
Congress at this very minute who are
willing to trade votes on any subject
under the sun, if they can only get
through some sort of legislation which
will stop the Post Office Department from
Iearrangng any more routes.
The rural free delivery has been a pet
of Congress ever since it started. 1t has
been nursed along from infancy until
now it takes $4,000. 900 to pay the rural
carriers alone. Some idea of what Con
gress thinks Of its pet can be obtained
from the fact that the House committee
on post Offices and post roads has just
decided to make Postmaster Burleson take
four million and a half dollars more
than he asked to pay the carriers.

Commercially and industrially the

Welfare of People at Stake.

I'm discussing the Philippine problem
we must not lose sight of the fact that
the welfare of eight million people is
at stake; that these eight millions have
no means of giving expression to their
aspirations or wishes; that in addition,
these people own one of the richest do
mains under the sun, which. If devel-
oped as Java has been, would within a
few generations have population
equal to or greater than that of Japan !;
that the productive capacity of these
people is in the first stages of it's de-
velopment, and that in consequence the
commercial possibilities of the islands
cannot be more than guessed at. 1t is
a problem worthy of the most serious
consideration
Our prestige as a nation Is bound up
intimately with this Philippine bust
ness. The world will be richer ma
terially and morally because of the in
tegrity and intelligence manifested by
able men in solving the big questions
relating to the islands and their in
habitants."
