tend such roads in any desired di-
rection and degree. This would en-
able them, with the expenditure of a
comparatively small part of their own
bond issue, to stand not only first in
the county but first in the state in the
matter of good roads.
1t seems, therefore. perfectly appar-
ent that the two proposed bond is
sues-that of the Independent district,
and that of the entire county-are in
no sense antagonistic; but that they
are. in fact. mutually helpful, each to
the other And while it is almost sac
religious for a Twin Falls paper to al
lude to the subject of county division
the TIMES will, nevertheless, pause
to remark that such subject has abso-
lutely no place in or connection with
and should have no effect upon the
present consideration of road improve
ment, by bonding or otherwise.
The pressing need for good roads is
universally admitted Let us go to
gether and get the roads They viii
then be there, ready for use; and they
Will serve exactly the same good pur-
pose whether they are in two coun-
ties, or all in one.

the proceedings of the last six and
half months in congress have been
characterized by the highest wisdom
and the deepest conscientiousness in
order to refute the counter-impression
of a sluggish and unpatriotic congress
which had to be shamed or prodded
towards its duty. The simple fact is
that whatever the country has thought
necessary for the prosecution of the
war il has obtained from congress.
Whatever Mr. Wilson asked for
with the exception of the censor-he
got, with some delay perhaps, but
without detriment to the cOuntry's
mastering for the war. The angry
ones who not long ago were accusing
congress of refusing to back up our
men now training for the trenches in
France may be asked to specify in
what respect the country has suffer
ed. We have created an immense army,
we have brought the navy to d
strength in personnel exceeding that
of Great Britain at the beginning OF
the war. we have given all the money
demanded for men, guns, ships, areo-
planes. and economic mobilization. IL
used to be favOrite taunt against the
voluble congressman that Germany
was deriving aid and comfort from
their activities Germany's present
state Of mind with regard to our war
efforts supplies sufficient answer.

BULL BONDS CARRY.
COUNTY BONDS NEXT

Written last Friday, Immediately af-
ter cognizance of the statement from
the Bull Highway commissioners
quoted therein, a TIMES editorial ex
pressed the desire for an affirmative
verdict at the pending bond election
in that district. Such a one was reg
istered last Saturday without organ
lied opposition and by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
Believing as it does in the vital ne
cessity. from every point of view, for
public highways that are comfortably
and economically serviceable at all
times of the year. the TIMES thinks
this is just as it should be. Under ex-
listing circumstances it should be es-
pecially welcomed as making easier
and more assured favorable vote on
the proposition for a county bond is
sue that is soon to be submitted to the
voters of the entire county.
This is true for several reasons: In
the first place, such testimony to the
need for improved roadways and in
favor of bonding to secure them can
not be without effect. Then so far as
the people in the territory outside the
Bull district are concerned. they will
not only feel their own need empha-
sized and their local pride stimulated
but they can never afford to have an
other portion of the county offer sucn
superior advantages to every tourist
or would-be investors
AS to those resident in the present
Bull highway district. their commits
sioners have so skllfully planned as
to give them the advantage and a
fair advantage it is-in any event. II
/ the county bond issue should not be
authorized. they have their district is
sue to fall back upon. But it is in the
issuance of the county bonds that they
will find their greatest vantage In
that case they can realize on the Of
fer of the state to pay one-third o.
the cost of the state highway with its
very considerable mileage in their dis
trict. can permit the large valuation
of the rest of the county to stand be

OUR PURPOSES.

The purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world, to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come We
seek no material advantage OF any
kind We believe that the intOlerable
wrongs done in this war by the fur
ious and brutal power of the Imperial
German Government ought to be re-
paired but not at the expense of SOW
ereignty of any people-rather a vim
dication of the sovereignty both OF
those that are weak and those that are
strong. Peace must be based
upon justice and fairness and The

McAdOo Explains the Situation and Predicts

1t is not easy but it can be done. Our

perfect; our spirit is indomitable and
our success is certain. We have only
to pull ogether-bankers lawyers,
doctors, manufacturers, farmers, wage
earners, labOrers, men and women
alike, girl scouts and boy scouts and
every other class of our people, and
we can do the job. Already we have
demonstrated what a united people
can do when partisanship is subordi-
mated to patriotism; when love of
country beams supreme. I look for
ward therefore with confidence to the
success of the recurring campaigns we
must make for the sale of Liberty
Bonds"
Continuing the statement reads:
at is essential to the success of the
war and to the support of our gallant
troops that these loans shall not only
be subscribed, but over-subscribed. No
one is asked to donate or give his
money to the government; but every
one is asked to lend his money to the
government. The loans will be repaid
in full with interest at the rate of four
per cent per annum. A government
bond is the safest investment in the
world; it is as good as currency and
yet better, because the government
bond bears interest and currency does
