TRYING THE IMPOSSIBLE

II has been stated that the Republicans are taking a particular
interest in the third congressional district this year. From the Con-
gresdonal Campaign Committee down, it it said, every effort Will be
made to have this district represented by a Republican in the next
congress.
We understand that Governor Edge, among other prominent men,
is coming into the district in behalf of Robert Carson, the Republican
candidate. We sincerely trust that wiser council will prevail. in this
particular instance. Governor Edge is a candidate himself, seeking
a seat in the United States senate. and the people of this section are
disposed to feel very kindly toward him. They appreciate the ex-
ceIent administration he has given them as governor and they are
satisfied that he is the type of man to handle the intricate problems
that will come before congress during the next six years.
For the governor, therefore, to come into this district ana
try to tell the people why they should vote for Mr.. Carson wouid not
only be useless as far IS Mr.. Carson is concerned, but it would tend
to injure his oSp chances. The people of the third congressional dis
trict, and esr$SssSs@r 1the people of Middlesex county, know Mr.. Car
son. They So ssaassaeed the governor of the state or anyone else' to
come here se~ on s. them about him tt is possible that the majority
Of the PEG ~ Ssfe could tell the governor more about Mr.. Carson
than the 6Esse55a1lor himself knows. Why risk his own chances, there
fore, by FIX to do the impOssibei
If sSs ~Vepublican party from the Congressional Campaign Com
mittee'a n, is s. concerned about the third district in New Jersey,
why did it not manifest that concern before the primaries and see to
it that a man was nominated that the people would vote for7 By let
ting the nomination go by default and then send outsiders in here to
try to cram Mr.. Carson down the Threats of the people will be deeply
resented.
The voters know all about "Bob" Carson. He has been playing
the political game in this county so long that the present generation
in politics cannot remember when he began. He tried to be elected
TO congress Two years ago and was decBively defeated, although a des-
perate effort was made to make him appear elected through gross
fraud and corruption. When these frauds were exposed Mr.. Carson
opened not his mouth. Now he boldly comes before the people again
seeking the same office. This time there is reason to believe that he
win be defeated so deciIyey that ven fraud and corruption will
not be able to count him in. It is folly for Governor Edge and other
outsiders to come here and urge the election of MI. Carson when the
people are so familiar with the whole situation.

HIGHWAYS AFTER THE WAR

While the government has brought to a standstil all road m
provement during the war excepting highways of military import
ance. experts n busy considering the problem that will be one OF the
greatest concerns of the people once peace is declared. The wonderful
bs development of trucking by automobile as a result of railroad freight
en- congestion has introduced an altogether new element in the matter OF
sA going to be beyond the ability of the people to stand under the
p4Ahanged conditions.
snueN Not only will there be miles and miles of worn out roads to put
ppNpasvepair, but they must be practically rebuilt s as to accommodate
p Sssne form of travel. There already exists numerous trans
SS9N'SSation companies maintaining a large number of trucks running
on schedule time between important cities. These trucks are carry
ing vast quantities of freight competing successfully with the rail
roads and express companies. But the railroads have valuable fran
chises and private right of way to maintain whereas the auto truck
ing concerns use the public highways for their traffic, maintained at
public expense and all that the trucking companies pay toward the
expense of the upkeep is a small license fee.
But that is not all. The roads Is at present constructed are
entirely too light to carry such heavy and constant traffic; also they
are too narrow to accommodate the ordinary traffic and the trucks at
re same time. These trucks are being built larger and larger; their
speed is increased and they ar a real menac to the ordinary user of
the highway.
permanent material with heavier foundations, but they must be
thirty and forty feet Wide instead of eighteen and twenty feet, and
the main arteries of trafe connecting large cities will have to be 100
feet wide.
But the cost of snch highway construction viii be enormous. Who
is to bear the expense9 Plainly it will be too great for the general
public. Automobile trucking has come to stay, however, and the prob
lem win have to be solved in some way. Well might the experts get
busy. It'll a problem that will require the best brains of the country.
