~ into this very interesting sub
ject But with these reservations.
the statements are, l think, true 10
fact.
The work very naturally divides
itself into the more or less continu-
Gus addition of new material with
out interruption or real displace-
ment of traffic, which can be called
maintenance; and the renewal of
the wearing surface completely, or
repair.
Maintenance-The pre-war cOntin-
uous patrol of road surfaces by in
dividual cantonniers is not in evi-
dence in the war zone. 1t is of
course, unnecessary to keep sur
faces in the degree of excellence OBJ
tanned in peace times. The little
roadside houses of the cantonnier
are now abandoned or used for
storing tools. Maintenance. in the
war sense. is practiced principally
on the more important roads carry
ing heavy traffic. Two methods are
in use.
/. Loose stone is placed by hand
(shovels) i'm the surface depressions
and compacted by traffic. The work
is done at periods when the traffic
is lightest. Usually the stone has to
be placed hastily and in a rough
manner: Sometimes it must be cast
entirely from the sides. Compac-
ton takes place very quickly under
passing fleets of heavy motor trucks
with solid double four-inch rear
tires. In the continuous wet wealth
er that was the rule last winter, the
results were surprisingly good.
?. The surface is first roughly
cleaned of excess mud Working in
short periods, whenever traffic per-
mits. layers of material about one
stone thick, are placed in narrow,
longitudinal strips and rolled into
the surface with steam rollers. The
resulting surface in this, as i'm the
first method, is irregular and rather
rough. but the main object, which
is to restore sufficient material to
maintain full thickness, is accom-
plished.

Details of Maintenance and Repair
My study of the details of main

the work closely. Often, however,

frequently that 1 became fairly fam

actual observation, gave me such

The American dye industry has
not only grown big enough TO sup

but is now exporting important
quantities to other nations. In July
nearly 100000 worth of aniline

OF all the industries created or

gagged in producing 6.619,729 pounds

Sanitary Regulation.
The Question of Morals.

Fourth on the question of
morals. The Encyclopedia Brit
tanica says of the Socialism. THE
ethics Of Socialism and the ethics
of Christianity are almost identi-
cal" This is true, and no Chris
tan can hesitate TO support this
ticket because its standard is the
standard of the average church
member. 1t stands for the com
plete adjustment of the saloon, as
it is not Obvious 10 the dow
astation wrought by the rum
habit But ii takes a different
stand from the prohibitionist and
would do certain things that would
do away with the evil permanent
ly.
First: It would eliminate the
saloon by destroying the profits
for which it is run.
Second: It would abolish the So
cial feature of the drink" and
in that alone prevent, in a very
large measure, the making of
drunkards Of young men and wom-
en-.
Third. With the amount Of
money that now goes 10 support
idlers it would esta blish add
tional recreation centers such as
gymnasiums. reading rooms, lee
ture halls. theatricals. etc. That
would be far more attractive than
buying a glass Of beer or a jug of
liquor and seeking question: bic
quarters for prolonged debauch.
Fourth. It would abolish slavery
and toil--the important causes OF
indulgence in strong drink.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-10-21

Fifth: Socialism does not seek
TO change human nature. 1t is
not human nature TO be a drunk
ard, any more than it is human
nature TO work people to death
just for the sport of it. Socialism
would revolutiOnize environment
that breeds drunkards just as
cesspools breed vermin. Human
nature would then assert itself
along right lines. 1t is not human
nature TO do wrong. We contend
that the basis of morality is en-
vironment, from which we garner
our concepts of the right and
wrong relations between things
and our position is that the abol-
ishment Of the profit system is the
only permanent cure for violation
of our moral laws-abOlish that
system and all the other attend
ant evils automatically disappear.
