PRAISE THEM!

However badly improved roads are
needed in the eastern or northwestern
section of the county, residents there
must never forget that the $67 900 of
inter-county and federal aid which the
county commissioners and William l..
Robinson have secured for the paving
of the Utica.Mt. Vernon road and the
Wooster road could only have been
obtained for these specific highways.
The extremely generous offer Of d..
p. Campbell to donate five miles Of
bricks for the former road made pos
sible the paving and this proposition
tory of the state with the exception OF
some quasi.private paving done near
Cleveland once by Dan r. Hanna-so

highway commission that $4,000 Of
inter-county aid was allowed unani-
mously On the aother instance, fed
eral aid could not have been secured
for any other highway in Knox coun-
ty save the Wooster road, as this is A
main market road, connecting Cleve-
land, Columbus and Cincinnati.
The new commissioners of Knox
county, almost before the chairs In
their office were warm, were confront
ed with a very delicate situation In
the matter of roads. Two Of the three

there are no improved roads at all
These men, had they been selfish
could have successfully blocked the
obtaining of $4,000 of outside aid and,
In exchange, might have secured a
mere pittance-almost negligible--to
apply toward road Improvement in
their districts. However, they instant
ly grasped the broader view and bent
their efforts towards securing all that
could be secured for Knox county, re-
alizing that the county would, as a
whole, benefit more by frst-class al
lowance than any section would by
the "leavings."
To the commissioners, therefore,
should hearty support and praise be
given. And to Mr.. Robinson, who
has worked tirelessly to do all for
Knox county that could be done. is due

A LEADER

II is not in a mere spirit of adula-

the priceless store of the United
States, but 1t is in true recognition of
his clear vision, his disinterestedness
and his lofty aims that the allies turn
unconsciously to President Wilson for
Leadership in thought and, to flatter-
ing extent, for action.
1t is acknowledged abroad that the
president can almost have his own
way as far as the war goes No bet
ter example of this exists than in the
adoption by England of Wilson's reply
to the papal note, as officially sum-
ming up its attitude, on the very heels
OF the allied conference at Paris where
Il was decided that the world should
be safeguarded, after the war, from
German aggression by a trade league
built up among the allies-a proposi-
tion directly opposed by the president

for permanent peace. Englands i'm.

1t becomes more and more clear
just what the president had in mind in

ference-opposing 1t not only because
the precept adopted there was unsound

President Wilson probably realizes
this and, while adhering firmly and

his pronouncements in connection with

of the other allies, "The waters too

reichstag peace resolution is scarcely
a sufficient excuse for its birth.
Suppose America had passed
through three years of unsuccessful,
warfare. Imagine that the people mad
finally given up hope Of final victory.
Consider that the political party In
power had passed peace resolution
far below the original aims and de-
sires of the country In entering the
war. Think then what group OF mil.
itaristic men, of which we fortunately
have none, decided despairingly that
something must be done or else the
country would lose everything 1t had
hoped to gain in conflict. A new party
is organized-for the duration Of the
war. Extreme, hyperbolical state
ments are forthcoming, not at all re-
fiecting the will and desires Of the
people, but to stimulate the laggards
and make a bold showing to an outside

There Is little doubt but that this Is
the real truth OF the Fatherland party
