Leos of a Snake.

The people of Uruguay have some
queer ideas and superstitions. One of
them is that if one throws live snake
into a fire it will stick out its legs.
which it keeps concealed under it's
scales. This idea probably arose from
the scales sticking outward as the
snake felt the heat.

NUMEROUS NATIONAL HIGHWAYS SOON
TO TRAVERSE THE COUNTRY.

Before the invention of the railroad the Wash
ington government was a great believer in good
highways, and millions of dollars were spent up
on socalled national highways" and canals. But
with the development of railroadng government
construction of such roads went in allegiance for
more than eighty years-until now.
The government is helping all states to con.
struct better roads by paying a portion Of the
expense II the states meet certain requirements.
Not only that. but general system of universal
national highways are being planned and exc
cuted, partly through the efforts of associations
interested in highway improvement.
The Lincoln highway. the Pixies Peak coast to
coast highway. the Columbia River highway the
Dixie highway the Midland trail and others in
dicate clearly that the nation Is thinking ma
tionally in road construction.
II is not too much 10 expect that within the
next ten years the country will be traversed by
great trunk highways 10 exceed the number of
trunk railroads now existing. II will be a nat
ural and logical development.

TIME IS NOW UPON US FOR THINKING IN
NATIONAL TERMS.

The coal car supply has been inadequate
throughout the Northwest and Judge LOvett,
United States transportation director, is send
ing cars there in large numbers-in fact, in such
large numbers as to threaten hardship upon
consumers of the Middle West who through
their state councils of defense are emitting the
well known yell of opposition to the plan, claim.
ing that the government is filling one gap and
making another
II would seem, however, that as winter sets in
earlier in the Northwest than in most portions
of the Middle West that it is proper that the
needs of that section of the country be first
looked after. If the thing is graded properly
the cars can be returned in time to help out the
situation in the Middle West.
The point is, the distribution must be along
scientific grounds, with no craftsmanship or fa-
voritism guiding the operation. II would be UNI
wise 10 take virtually all the coal cars from the
Middle West, as il is claimed some railroads are
doing, though some can be spared for short
while If necessary to prevent hardship in the
Northwest.
This is a situation in which we must think in
national terms, not bounded by states or locali-
ties. And distribution of cars must be guided
by the same principle.

Desire by many housewives in Price 10 cut
down in the use of bread is considered detri-
mental TO the best interests of the home, and
also a costly proceeding despite the high cost of
than meat or vegetables even now. That bread
is our best food is certain and in the diet of most
persons IL is paramount. Flour today sells at
about two-thirds the price of sugar, and looks
appallingly large in price TO those who for years
have been paying three cents a pound. Yet at
ten cents pound flour would be cheap compared
with meat and vegetables. Use Of less flour may
compel the purchase of more meat or vegetables
so that this species of economy would be foolish

William McKinley's wisdom has been once
more attested. Prior to 1890 we produced no
tinplate. but depended upon Europe. just as we
have always depended upon Europe for our dye
stuffs Mckinley believed that the United
States should make its own tinplate and be in
dependent Of Europe. He put protective rate
In his tariff bill and Immediately we began TO
build up tinplate industry Democrats had de-
clared that protective duty meant a higher
price for tin, but the new industry grew so rap
idly that home competition reduced the price.
II the democrats had been given their way we
would still be buying tin in Europe. II the re-
publicans had been as wise in legislatng for
dyes as they were in legslatng for tin, we would
not have been embarrassed when the war cut
off trade with Germany. Never again will we
place ourselves in position where severance Of
communication with Germany will cause us ser-
ous difficulty.

There are many people who profess 10 see
declaration against protective tariff in Presi-
dent Wilson's remark that mo peace can rest
securely upon political or economic restrictions
meant TO benefit some nations and cripple and
embarrass Others" The American protective
tariff policy does not come in that classification
Our tariff Is designed TO benefit America. but is
not designed TO cripple anybody. If nations in
Europe and Asia choose TO encourage low wage
scales and low standards of living that is en-
tirey their affair. We propose 10 maintain high
wage scales and high standards of living. In
order TO do that, we must in normal times, inn
pose an import duty which will cover at least the
difference in cost of production here and abroad
Free trade means giving other nations an ad-
vantage and the Gripping of our home industries
We do not propose TO cripple any other people
nor let them cripple us.

American Machinist declares that in some Of
the best known American plants for the produc-
ton of rifles their most skilled workmen have
been kept on the payrolls all summer, though
they have had nothing TO do in working hours
but 10 play cards and checkers--simply because
those in authority at Washington have been un-
able to make up their minds regarding details
for the weapons for the armies which we are
raising. War was declared on the 9th of April
five months ago-and nothing but time has thus
far been killed with American rifles. The ex-
pense of these idle hours in the rifle factories
viii fall on the taxpayer because Of the foolish
cost plus system which has been adopted The
