coast With the exception of San Pedro de Macoris and Sonto Domingo City Santiago and Puerto Plata are the only oities in the republic now having electric lighting service. Othsr public improvements that are to be immediately undertaken include the rebuilding of bridges on the road
 from Santiago to Monte Christi
 Seven bridges of this highway were
 burned by revoiutionists last spring to
 check the advance of United States marines.
 In the southern part of the island work has been commenced or is about to be on several projects. Bids have been asked for the building of the first sixteen kilometers of macadam road from Macoris to santo Domingo City. a distance of approximately ffty-five kilometers. This road will also con- meet with one now under construc- ton from Macoris to Hato Mayor, a distance of twelve kilometers.
 The foundation of a new $50.000 customs house at Santo Domingo City has already been laid and work on the new municipal building in the capital. which has been almost ten years In building and which has been inter- rupted frequently by revolutions has been resumed and the building prob ably will be occupied within six months.
 Other projects, including the erec- ton of several government buildings to take the place of rented quarters, are being planned now that a stop has been put to revolutions and with the continuance of order throughout the country funds are being made avatl-s able for many large public and pri- vate projects.
 Since the American occupaion there have been many inquiries re-. rarding lands and large tracts have been bought up in the Cfbao chiefly for the growing of tobacco while in the southern part of the republic much land is being purchased to be planted to sugar cane. Several large investments of Porto Rican capital have been made chiefly in sugar lands while the same interests have made preliminary plans for the establish ment of . bank in the capital with a branch at Macoris.

There were no mother and daughter on board the oil tank steamer Heald- ton. There was no sweetheart to keep
 her dsanE fiance warm by throwing
 her wealth of hair about his limpid ,lorm. There were none of the dra-
 mauc touches to the sinking of the
 Healdton, none of the pathetic scenes
 that stamped the tragedies of the
 Lusttania and the Laconia. But this
 was in no way the fault of the Ger
 man submarine commanders. Sex,
 whatever it may be, is all the same to these gentlemen. Age has no

 beaten men of the sea have the same standing. Participants in the war.
 and, innocent non-combatants,- is all the same. No flag makes any
 difference. Ut may be the flag of a
 neutral or the flag of a country with
 which Germany is at war. All re- ceive the same treatment. This is the doctrine of the Imperial government, 1t is the thing that Is gradually bring
 ing the entire civilized world against the House of Hohenzoller9.
 The sinking of the tank steamer Healdton, while not accompanied with touches of the dramatic, is just as unlawful an offense in the eyes of in- ternational law as the sinking of the Lusitania or the Laconia. All of these vessels were sunk without warning. All went to the bottom of the sea without receiving even the courtesy of visit and search. fundamental prin- ciple of international law. All these tragedies will be written down on the of Germany. In the years to come when students of wars pom der over what happened in the past, Germany will take her place in the lead of all ruthless wagers of war. There Is no instance in past history that can be compared with what is taking place in the so-called barred Eone of European waters. Not even the machinations of the Pirates of Barbary Coast can stand shoulder to shoulder in horror with the depreda- lions of German submarine com manders. History is shamed at the let's now taking place on the Atlantic ocean.
 Fortunately, the sinking of Amerf- | an ships without warning will soon ,e brought to 8 stand-still. if not topped for all time. When the American Congress meets on the econd day of next, montth its mem 'ers will be called upon to review the of ruthless submarine And, when the grand list is
 resented to these members of Con- gress, they can act in only one way. They must declare war upon a nation hat has been waging war on their | ountry for many months. When he declaration of war comes, the American navy will see to 1t that all and Lusitanias and Heald- ons are at least warned. If they are warned there will be no sinking, not while American gunners and Ameri- an guns have the same power they xercised in other days.
 There were no women and children m the 'Healdton to add to the tragedy. There were no mothers, or sweet learts, or wives, or daughters, to give he dramatic touch. But the crime Is as great as that which ook place on May z, 1915. when the 4usttania was sent to the bottom with
 ut warning.

THE EDITOR ADVISES HIMSELF

Inasmuch as editors generally take
upon themselves the task of instruct
ing everybody else and advising them
we think it would be a good idea for
Us to advise ourselves a little. This
advice is especially appropriate al
this time of the year when the cost
Of everything from ink TO erasers has
gone up in price except the average
newspaper.
Whilesit may not be interesting to
you there are papers in New York
which will pay $68O,OOO more for
white paper this year than they did
last year, and while our bill is not
quite as much it is proportionately
larger than theirs when based upon
circulation. We don't care to lose a
Jingle subscriber but in this talk to
ourselves we are going to advise us
to stop sending the paper to those
who don't pay for il.
As We always talk about the way
nobody takes our advice this time VIC
are going TO urge it upon ourselves
TO take our'advice. We face the facts
and not promises, we want you Ia
read the paper regularly, but you
must not let your paper stay behind

The membership Of the present
legislature is remarkably good. The
great majority of the members are
without legislative experience, but
they settled down to work in earnest
from the start. Politics so far has
not been in evidence, but rather a
general effort to enact laws for the
general welfare. No real "freak"
bills have been introduced and few
bills that may be termed pet meas
ures, regulating morals and govern
ment. In other words there are no
Crank reformers. No bills have
boon introduced so far that are re-
pressive to industry or development
Of transportation facilities. But or
the other hand effort is made to en-
courage the development Of the many
resources OF this great state.

TEACHER TRAINING

God Almighty no more makes
teaehers than he makes lawyers OF
doctors. Training and experience
make a lawyer, a doctor and a
teacher.
There are still some persons in
Grant county who think that to be a
trained and efficient teacher requires
rohing more than an education of
the head" It is these who think that
a teachers job is pleasant, easy work
for a semi-educated person, and that
such a person should not have the te-
merity to demand as much salary as
n first-class office worker.
Every parent in L%ordsburg should
realize that the methods Of the
teacher Of her children will leave its
:ndelible mark on the life Of the
child. 1t isn't merely a matter of
teaching the Three RS, but is a case
Of character building as well.
Building character is just as much
a part of the teaching job in Grant
-3dnty as building knowledge; and
10 training cannot be too high for
either job.
