There are some ministers Of the gos-

foreign language in the pulpit years

BURLESON AND HEARST PAPERS

'BURIESON AND HEARST PAPERS.
Cedar Rapids Republican,
In the east there is formidable anti
Hearst movement under way. In many
cities in New Jersey and New York
newsboys are now forbidden to sell
these papers because they are inimfcal
to the conduct of the war.
The course Of these papers has GER
tainly been astounding. Within few
months they have spoken Of our par
ticipation in the war as Interfering
in European quarrels," and Of our SOL
diers as being Offered up in bloody
sacrifice to the ambition OF contending
nations on foreign batt1eflelds." And
speaking of anarchy in Russia, Hearst
In his papers declared that "the civil
ization of western Europe may be very
grateful if Germany will /. under
take the maintaining Of order in Rus
STA" Germany seems to have acted
upon that advice-but the kind Of or
der that it is maintaining In Russia Is
that Of loot and enslavement.
And yet In spite Of such utterances II
these papers recently when Hearst alb
sorbed the Chicago Herald both Sec
rotary Burleson and Secretary Daniels
sent kilograms congratulating the alb
sorbers and the absorbed alike. Per-
haps they were doing that to win Mr..
Hearst over. to make him be sooc. But
what course would Mr.. Buraeson pursue

Hearst sheets would talk such stun
about American soldiers, American
participation, or stoop> to praise Ger
many's course in Russia?

GOOD ROADS AND TRAFFIC.

It is becoming more apparent every
day that the railroads are not going
to be able to handle freight and pas
senger traffic as increased by war con-
ditions. Congestion exists at almost
every center. Rolling stock is IN suoh
constant use that repairs are often
impossible and transportation Is In
terrupted to such an extent as to I'M
pede the operations of the government.
The only practical solution OF this
problem is the adoption of motor trucks
which shall make use Of the public
highways.
Transportation by motor trucks is
so closely connected with the good
