HOW WAR CUTS ROAD WORK

Indicating how the wartime policy
OF restricting highway construct to
projects of military or great economic
importance has been enforced, the
Bureau Of Public Roads announces that
from the day in January, 1918, when
the Secretary of Agriculture called upon
the States to conserve money, labor,
transportation and materials as far as
possible, to September so, the payments
on Fcderal-aid post-road projects ag-
grcgated 1852, 943.S4. or less than one
thirtieth Of the amount which theoret-
ically could have been paid on that
period. In the administration of the
Fedcral-aid road act, 691 projects, in
volving construction Of 1878 miles,
at total estimated cost of $52 $685.
were approved by the secretary of
Agriculture III the period from July
IL, 1916, when the act became effective
to October l, 1918. The total amount
Of Fcderal-aid available to October /,
after deducting 3 per cent for admins
tratlve purposes, was 100000.
Red Wing Eagle: The one deep re-
greet Of Napoleon, after having been
eXilcd to St. Helena, was that he had
not removed the Hohenzollerns from
the throne of Prussia when he had the
chance. The whole world has had oc-
casion since to regret it too. The pres
ent generation would then have been
spared a very disagreeable and costly
task.
Springfield Republican,: Otto H.
Kahn, the New York banker, may ex-
press the consensus Of financial opinio1
when he says Of the director general of
railroads: IT have no word of criticism
against Mr.. McAdoo's administration
of the railroads., as far as I have been
able to observe it. I think, on the. con-
trary, that he is entitled to great praise
and that he has handled the formidable
and complex task confded to him with
a high degree of ability, fine courage,
interchangeable energy and with the evi-
dent determination to keep the running
Of the railroads clear Of politics to make
them above all things effective instru.

The Minneapolis Journal wants it
understood that the war result is an
Anglo Saxon victory. That will be new
to the people of France, Italy, Belgium;
Serbia and other allies, as we'll as to the
hundreds Of thousands of American
soldiers who neither blood nor tradition
are Anglo-Saxon in the sense the Jour
nal has in mind. 1t has seemed that the
war has shown unity of aspiration,
a consccretation to high ideals, will
inGness to sacrifice for a universal good
that was general among the allies, and
which it is certainly far-fetched to as
sumo as distinctively "Anglo-saxon'.
--<>--
Amid the actions and reactions of
peoples, the agitations and social ex-
periments, the varying and quickly
changing social phenomena in SO many
lands, the grasp of people toward
liberty, the blind revolt of many
against their oppressors, and the fierce
anarchy and exploitation and bloodshed
in Russia, the natural reaction from
centuries Of oppression, is it not likely
that there will be some changes, more
OF less radical, or seemingly so, in our
land. The American people are too in
telligent, too wise, too sensible, to seek
for progress except in orderly ways. To
believe, however, that they are going
to be content with everything just as it
was before the war, is the dream of the
reactionaries. It will not be and it
shall not be. The war has taught many
things, brought forward new opportun-
tiles, exhibited new powers. What is
good and useful must be preserved and
developed.
