OUR NATIONAL TRAIT, cARELEssNEss

- That nearly eleven million letters and par
cels should go astray in twelvemonth in the
mails of the United States is less surprising
than the fact that money, checks, drafts and
other papers to the total value of more than
two and a Quarter million dollars travelled to
the dead letter office in them. Americans are
supposed to be very keen about getting the
worth of thir dollars; this is not indicated by
such an example of Indifference in disposing of
them
There may be in this dead letter office Incl
dent some hint of contributing cause to the
much bemoaned high cost of living. Most of
those who put their valuables into the mails
Improperly secured were only temporary losers.
for the postal authorities found owners for all
but about fifty thousand dollars worth of the
property. But there is not kindly Uncle Sam
to retrieve all the waste in the kitchen and the
business house Indeed we would resent any
such governmental tampering with our indi-
vidual actions, although it might correct one of
our notable national traits, carelessness; when
we are careless about wasting natural re-
sources and about maintaining our national
safety no wonder we are careless sometimes
about our mail

CITIES AND LIVING COST.

writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger
declares unsound the argument OF puplic
speaker from the south who says that the me''
cost of foods and the necessaries OF lie is largely
increased by the growing Of urban populations
to such a large bulk of our total popuiatloh.
The Public Ledger writer argues that cues
nv furnishing stable markets to which the
agricultnrist and manufacturer can send prod
nets and from which the rural dweller can OBJ
tain, what he requires have bettered conditions
of trade and brought about real economies.
There is no question that the Public Ledger
writer is right in his contention that marketing
conditions have been greatly hettered by CITY
growth, but there is another phase oi the ques-
ton which this argument ignores.
Our cities have created a market for con-
veniences and these conveniences make up a
large part of our present expense for what we
call necessaries. It is not alone the transpor-
tation costs, the overhead expenses of mercan-
tile establishments and those adJuncts OF trade
which are assumed as necessary that we pay
for; it is the delivery charges, the compliance
with legal regulations and the various conven-
tional helps to making it easy to buy that city
life adds to cost of living. The whole tendency
of CITY life is to nav something for doing as
much as possible of the work done In the home
in rural life. 1t is only when balance is struck
between the saving which city markets make
possible and the extra expenses Of city man
ners and methods, that it can be safely stated
that cities have not increased living costs
That thew have increased our tendencies to eX-
travagance and wastefulness there is no ques-
ton.

The Road. Question.

Knoxville Journal: The last cleo
ton settled nothing except as to who
should hold the, Offices. ihe good
roads question Is still the most i'm
portant issue in the state to not only
the farmer, but the city man as well.
The discussion Of the question will
proceed with ever, increasing vigor
because it is fundamental to the con-
tinued growth and prosperity of the
state. Permanent roads will even
tually take the place and mud roads
and sensible financial methods will
take the place of the present waste
full hand-to-mouth policy. 1t Is safe
to predict that the state will not
adopt any mans dictum as to what
kind of roads we will build or how
they win be financed. because public
policies are always compromises and
are formed in the clash of contend
ing interests But it is also sure
that we shall go ahead building bet
ter and more permanent roads be-
cause we need them and because the
demands of industry cannot be de-
MED.
