IMPROVED MAINTENANCE
Patrolmen Will Be Held Responsible
for Condition Of Roads Signs Will
Guide Trave1ers- Work Will Begin
Early in 1918.

At last Wisconsin is literally on the
map with a state highway system. The
year and half fight of the Good Roads
Association of Wisconsin is showing its
first tangible results.
The legislative State Trunk Highway
committee and the Wisconsin Highway
Commission have completed their lab
ors after weeks spent in hearings
throughout the state, and in conferences
have finally determined the routes of
the state trunk highways, and the Of
fetal maps have been filed with each
county clerk.
Heretofore Wisconsin has been ope-
rating in the location of highways on
the town and county units. The town
boards laid out and built the town
roads; the county boards laid out the
county roads under the state aid system,
and either the county or the towns
determined where construction should
be done.
The state trunk highway act means
the entrance of new road unit of high
way planning, construction, mainte-
nance and road marking-the state.
The work of laying out the system
is complete The total mileage of road
shown on the new state trunk highway
map is 4,988.38. The system as re-
quired under the law inter connects
every county seat and city Of 5000 pop
ulation. It includes the main arteries
radiating to all parts Of the state from
the boundary line at Illinois to Lake
Superior, from Lake Michigan to the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1917-12-13

Mississippi river, web of roads weaves
the state together.
What is the next steps Next year
the state will take over the mainte-
nance of the entire system. It will
not wait until the roads are constructed.
There win be new type of mainte-
nance-patrol maintenance, common in
Europe for. years and more recently in
our eastern states. The 5000 miles of
road will be divided into patrols of from
six to eight miles, with patrolman in
charge. His duties will be to drag the
road, see that the drainage is kept open,
remove stones, see that all chuck holes
are He'd and ruts smoothed out, etc.
This will mean revolution in high
way maintenance in this state. In the
past we have built roads and let them
deteriorate to point where partial re-
construction was necessary. In the fu-
ture we vii lattempt to keep our roads
from deteroiating, and keep them in an
adequate shape as their present condi-
lions permit. And there are hundreds
of miles of gravel, macadam and dirt
roads in Wisconsin that can be vastly
improved by consistent maintenance.
There is available for the purpose of
maintenance of the trunk highways
$750,000 a year, or about $3.50 per mile.
There are indications that mex year
portion of the construction fund avail
able may be used for maintenance,
bringing this fund to almost 81 900, 900
or 5000 per mile.
The next feature that will be appar-
ent in 1913 is road marking. The state
will adopt a standard road sign, erect
these signs on the state trunk high
ways, number the roads and number
the signs accordingly. The state will
also issue map of the system to be
sold to the public at cost not exceed
ing ten cents per copy.
The final feature is construction.
Under the terms of the federal road act
Wisconsin will receive in 1918-19-2O APP
proximately 100000 for highway
construction. The state is required to
make available an equal amount. I'm
der the trunk highway act the counties
are required to appropriate an amount
equal to the state-which means So
100000 in all for construction in the
three-year period under the state trunk
highway act In addition by an amend
ment of the state aid law one-half of
the money available under that act
must be spent on the trunk highway
for construction, which will mean about
$1,00O,000 year more or 100000 for
construction.

Two Pests Abroad.

"Among the professedly loyal there
are two pests abroad" declares The
Chicago Post. "There is the cheerful
optimist, kin to the cheerful idiot,
who thinks the war will be over in a
few weeks, and so declines to harness
himself with the rest of us to the long,
hard pull ahead; and there is the blue
ruin pessimist, who sees nothing but
blunders, defeats and utter humiliation
in store for America and the allies.
The former is the more tolerable. His
attitude is so obviously foolish that he
does little harm The latter deserves
no mercy. Consciously or otherwise,
he is serving the enemy. The kind of
criticism that is wholly destructive
and discouraging has no excusable
place in print or speech just now. Crit
icism, to be of value, must be intelli-
gent, hopeful, constructive. National
morale is as necessary as army mo-
rale. No greater service can be done
the enemy than to undermine conf
dence in the nation IS leaders The man
who would go among the rank and file
of our fighting forces and spread the
belief that their commanders are in
competent and that they are leading
them to disaster would be guilty of
crime little greater than the man who
engages in similar mission of treach-
cry among the people at home.o

Removing childhood,s Doubt.

A little girl in Kenosha asks us to
answer the momentous question of
childhood--"I there Santa Claus?''
Possibly we might be able to frame
phrases to answer this question but the
answer is historic. Years ago little
Virginia O'Hanlon, way down in New
York put this same question to the
Editor Of the New York Sun. 1t was
the elder Dana and he considered this
question one of so great Importance to
childhood that he answered it in man
ner that has become historic in the
literature of the nation.
May we give to this little Kenosha
girl the answer that Dana gave to
that little girl down in New York
when he said:
"Virginia your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by the
skepticism of a skeptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensive to their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be
men s or children's are little. In this
great universe of ours man is mere
insect, an ant in his intellect as COM
pared to the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
eyes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and gen.
crosby and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give your
life its highest beauty and joy. Alasl
How dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus. It would be as
dreary as if there were no Virginias
There would be no childlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance to make toler
able this existence. We should have no
enjoyments, except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extinguished
Not believe in Santa Clausi You might
as well not believe in fairies. You might
get your papa to hire men to watch
in all of the chimneys on Christmas
eve to catch Santa Claus coming down,

Santa Claus, but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are those that
neither children nor men can see. Did

The expressed determination of the
administration to take over the opera
ton of the railways is not without its
interesting feature It is going to show
just what the nation could do under
Federal ownership and management.
Of course the experiment may be little
hard on the railways but they were
always subject to hard governmental
knocks and they probably will have to
stand the suageme knock.

The idea of the British army officers
that the only way to get the Germans
was to lure them out of the trenches
seems to be bearing fruit. Now that
they are coming out fast enough it is
to be hoped that the British army will
be able to take care of all of them
and take care of them quick.
