One result, and a far reaching re-
suit, of the war will be the larger
voice the working people will have
in the matter of government BY or
through some strange law of the hui
man mind, by which cooperation
without previous agreement is pos
sible, the workingmen of all the coun-
tries of the world are demanding
a larger voice in their governments.
Some friction is going to result in
making the new alignment, but the
problem will work itself out. The in
equality of the distribution of wealth
has not been unknown to the work
ing classes. but they wanted the way
to correct it. The war has clearly
shown how, in times Of distress, the
government must rely upon its indi7
vidual members. and in this way has
taught the people the potency of their
power. The great conflict has not
only made the nations, but the null
titudes, more democratic.

with no more funds have better roads,
and Il is worth while TO inquire how
they accomplish It. The highest
court in the state has ruled that the
Magistrate can not collect pay for
acting as road commissioner, and 1t is
not improbable, If the present manner
of handling road funds is continued,
that some citizen may invoke the
statute against it. Our road system
has too many heads. The war in Eu-
rome was not won until all the allied
armies were placed in the hands Of
a single command. The same princi-
pie should be applied in our road
work. The work of the present Fis-
cal court has been, in the main, high
ly commendable, but the handling of
the roads has been an inexcusable
bungle. Every successful business
has a single manager, who is trained
for his service. and our road mana
cement should be put upon the same
business basis.
