GOOD ROADS COMING.

That good roads are bound to
come as 4 result OF the war is the
opinion of Col. Robert II. Tyndall
OF the l50th field artillery. He
maintains that the good roads OF
France saved her in at least two in
stances. He also says that none OF
the army truck drivers, concerned
so long overseas with getting enor-
mously heavy loads delivered in rec
ord time under extremely difficult
conditions, will be willing to put
up with the road conditions so COM
monty accepted in this country as
inevitable.
lust as this demand for satisfac
tory highways comes from France,
Secretary OF Agriculture Houston
issues q statement to conference
OF editors OF agricultural journals
at Washington saying that co-opera-
tive highway construction under the
federal aid road act must be resumed
as quickly as possible in full meas
ure.
The immediate need OF the country
is better redistribution OF everything
used in building, in manufacture and
in all the affairs OF life. There are
great numbers of army trucks soon
to be released from military service,
ready to dart hither and thither
feeding the railroads and relieving
them. For this heavy work, roads
which will stand up under it without
giving way are imperative.
From Federal and State funds,
roughly totaled, there should be
about %5,OOO,000 available for ex-
penditure during the coming year.
This, properly used ought to build
a good many hundred miles Of sound
and durable highways.
In the past, roads and canals have
been synonyms for graft and waste
fulness. The future must see high
way moneys expended with honesty
and thrift. 1t is worth spending
good round sums on roads built Tor
the traffic of the future.
Roads whi,h will go to pieces in
a few months are not worth cent.
Honest and substantial roads Will be
insisted upon by awakened commun-
tiles.

A WARNING TO MAYORS

Today's Ardmoreite publishes a
story from Chickasha which should
serve as salutary warning TO the
mayors OF certain other cities IN
Oklahoma. some of them not far
distant from Ardmorc, for instance.
The Jury required only ten minutes
10 bring in 4 verdict finding Mayor
Coifman guilty of willful neglect
OF duty and maladministration in Of
flee as charged in the accusation
The mayor was finally and definite
lv removed from Office, and Chick
asha, no doubt, will be the gamer by
the verdict.
The Chickasha case should be
taken under adviSement by mayors
and other civil officials who imagine
that they are elected to office so
that their natural or acquired pro-
pensities toward grating and gen
eral cuSsedness may be given wider
range for action. Unfortunately, OK
laho ma has more OF the Coitman
kind in office. Some cities seem to
choose their mayors and certain
other officials on the theory that any
old rotter is good enough for such
Jobs. That. OF course, is serious err
ror 1t is an error which is going to
be corrected in cities other than
Chickasha, and shortly. /
incidentally, it may be surmlsed
that when the next city elections
are held in this state there will be
a closer watch upon the tickets Sc
lected for the campaigns. Oklahoma
women will vote next time. Already
the women in some cities, such as
Tulsa and Sapulpa, have begun or
eanizing with a view to cleaning out
the civic stables. The women may
be depended upon to vote against
the plugugles and the nonentlties.
Our prediction is that they will hold
the balance OF power and give Ok
cities better government
hereafter.

GOODBYE. BEER!

To paraphrase an old convivaI
song:
Now farewell, beer. for evermorel
Our brewing days are surely Ger.
The federal ban on the use OF food
materials for manufacturing beer
has gone into effect. No more beer
can be brewed in the United States
while this emergency ban lasts. 1t
is safe to say that it will last until
the country automatically goes dry
by the adoption OF the prohibition
amendment, or by the federal prohi-
bition law becoming effective next
July.
There will be beer on tap for some
time yet in states and communities
that still afford 4 market for that
sort OF thing. But there will be no
more brewed, and the present supply
will hardly outlast the winter.
Thus passes one OF the Oldest OF
human institutions. The earliest
Anglo-Saxon records represent our
half-savage forefathers as brewing
beer. The beverage was common
among the ancient Persians. Its use
is depicted on the walls OF Egyp-
tian tombs. thousand OF years old,
and on Babylonian bricks probably

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

The advocates of universal train
ing for the future would get 4 more
respectful hearing ii they lett out the
military" The majority of Amer
leans, civilians and soldiers alike, are
not much interested at present in the
development and maintenace OF
great armies. They think, rightly or
wrongly that the war has ended that
sort of thing, and we shall have no
need of millions OF trained fighters.
At the same time, there is a
stronger feeling than ever before for
public service and discipline, and
better appreciation OF the whole

come as by-products OF the military
life under American conditions. 1t
might be possible to preserve these
benefits and pass them along to our
boys as they reach military age,
without preserving the less pleasant
and less desirable things usually as
sociated with strictly military life.
If there is to be no more trench
digging or bayonet-fighting, why
teach boys to dig trenches and fight
with bayonets? Teach them more
practical things, for the productive
work OF peace rather than the de-
structive work OF war. Something on
the Boy Scout plant, but on mans
scale. SO the ordinary citizen ar
CUES; and he is probably right about
it.
We have all the cantonments, avn
alton fields. etc. What are we going
to do with them? Dismantle most
OF them, leaving only enough to|
take care OF small standing army?
1t seems a pity. Could they not be
adapted to some new system OF in
struction which would take all our
young men for a short period and
make them sturdy, straight, self-rs-
liant and loyal Americans, as our
army camps have done, while teach
ing them nothing that will not be
useful in a peaceful world ? !
They would naturally get many OF
the military fundamentals, so that
if men were wanted for the army at
any time they would provide better
than ever.

HOW TICK RELEASES
FOLLOW DIPPING VAT

Washington, D. G.. Dec. 4.-Ihe
amount OF territory released this
year in nine southern states from
the federal quarantine against the
cattle fever tick was 79,2l7 square
miles. the greatest on record since
the state and federal governments
began to fight the cattle parasite IN
1906.
Another record, too, was broken
this wear. The number Of cattle dip
pings in all tick infested territory IN
the first ten months of 1918 was 81
263.S67-exceeding the number IN
any previous year and by more than
ten million the number for the en-
tire year of 1917. .,
Officials OF the bureau OF animal
industry, U. S. department OF agri-
culture. emphasize the direct rcla-
ton between these figures. Where
there are many cattle dippings, re-
lease of territory from quarantine is
much more probable than where
there are few. Where there are no
dippings there is little or no hope.
Releases follow the dipping vat.

THAT FOREIGN TRADE

So much has been said lately about
the possibilities in foreign trade, and
especially with South America, that
there is sort OF general feeling
that anv one who has anything he
wants to get rid OF, from locomo-
tives to old clothes, had better get
packed up and started or the Brit
ish and the Germans will beat him to
it.
As a matter of fact, the prospects
for foreign trade never were so
bright as now, but just as with the
recipe for rabbit pie. which begins
First catch your hare" the first
step is to know your field and the
people in in it, their needs and their
desires.
One man, who can speak with au-
thoritv. tells OF an offer made to
him OF "a small surplus of women 5
shoes for sale in South America He
declares that the Surplus" was SUIT
fcient to supply a pair of shoes to
every woman in South America
north Of the equator who is accus-
toned to wearing shoes"
This is only one OF thousand in
stances of the necessity OF familiar
itv with the market if the trade is to
be successful.
We are prone to be self-sufficient
and careless in our business as well
as our political and social relations.
If the most is to be made OF the ex-
port opportunity now before this
country, the first step is a compre-
hensive knowledge of the business
