WHAT ABOUT THE ROADS!

Almost three weeks have passed
since the meeting of the Missouri Old
Trails Association in Columbia for the
purpose of boosting the plan for a
new cross-state highway through the
federal aid plan. The delegates de-
parted for their homes filled with en-
thusiasm for the project and resolved
to set Immediately the machinery for
obtaining the federal aid going.
Since the meeting hardly a word
has been heard as to the progress be-
ing made in the work. E. W. Steph-
ems, newly elected president of the
state association, estimated the
amount each county must raise to
secure the SO per cent federal aid, and
the delegates were in position to
start work at once.
Have other pressing war calls, such
as the Liberty Loan and the many
other financial campaigns, held up
work on the road plans temporarily,
or have the delegates already lost
their fervor and abandoned the we'll
laid plans to the scrap heap Of
broken resolutions? II is hoped that
the former is the case, but pro-
crastination is an evil that must be
reckoned with and not allowed to
grow upon us.
That Missouri needs a new cross
state highway is the consensus of
opinion. The Missouri Old Trails As
sociation has agreed that it shall have
this highway. 1t is the duty of the
members of the association to launch
a mass attack upon the forces of in
olnerence. A strong reserve of inter-

THE EFFECTS OF WAR

English newspapers are printing
surveys from time to time of the ef
feet which the war is having upor
the life of the English people. The
emphasis is upon the post-bellum ef'
fects more than upon the present ef-
fects. We are fairly familiar with the
changes in economic and social life
which the war has brought about in
the belligerent countries, but we are
Just becoming interested in the per-
manent changes which the war will
bring. These permanent changes will
affect America in much the same way
as England.
There will be more economy, more
versatility, and more democracy after
the war than ever before. People are
learning to economize now as never
before. 1t is not so much individual
economizing as it is cooperative ma
tional saving. By war we are learning
the real lessons of conservation which
were unheeded in the days of peace.
We think in terms of national unity
rather than individual security. These
effects will be reflected in the daily
routine and life of the people.
Simplicity and usefulness of clothing
and food will be the standard in place
of former extravaganza. We will be-
come accustomed to and adopt foods
which before the war were seldom
seen on the menus of the average
home.
In the occupations we will find the
employment of women more common
than before. Families who before the
war retained a large number of ser
wants will have accustomed them
selves to fewer. In the trades men
will be found who can do more than
one specialized kind of work. The
army training and the shifting of
labor during the war to meet the in
dustrial demands will give to the
working class a wider range of activi-
ty.
But perhaps the greatest of all the
changes wrought by the war will be
the breakdown, to a great extent, of
the prevailing social class distinctions
The mingling of men of all ranks of
life in the army will instill new
feeling of brotherhood which hither-
to has been for the most part
philosophic. The common interest in
the war and the common sorrow at
its tragedies will do much to develop
a stronger sense of democracy! The
very fact that the war is being fought
for the principles of democracy
makes this evident. There will be
more intercourse between the classes
together with the feeling that we are
all citizens of one great country. Last
of all, localism will give way to in
and the masses will
think in terms of world affairs more |
than before. The mingling of troops |
from all corners of the globe will |
give to the soldiers a feeling of in
comradeship. After the |
war this sense of relationship will |
be retained.
