VALUE Of ASPHALT
ROADS STRESSED IN.
ADDRESS To BOARD.

Gordon s. Bowdish, Of Jacksonville,
appeared before the county commits
sioners yesterday morning at a special
session, addressing the board on as
phalt roads. In line of his remarks,
Mr.. Bowdish said:
The modern pavement that does
stand up under the very heaviest loads
and most severe traffic conditions in
our greatest economical centers, is
asphalt. 1t IS made up In one sheet,
laid while hot and rolled until a per-
feet surface is obtained and the max
imum OF compression taxes place. On
account Of the fact that it is all one
continuous sheet, it is so much more
satisfactory than vitrified brick or
creosoted wood block, each of which
require forty brick, or parts, to q
square yard, necessarily a sheet pave
ment such as asphaltic concrete or
sheet asphalt, when properly laid, is
smooth, easy to ride over and receives
heavy loads without shock of impact

Mr.. Bowdish presented the board
with a section OF TeAaco Asphaltlo
Concrete, which was taken out OF
South Michigan boulevarde, Chicago,
over which approximately twenty
enc thousand vehicles pass every
twenty-four hours. 80 per cent of the
traffic over this boulevarde is motor
driven
Mr. Bov.S,Fn advised that the board

cation into road construction person

to what material shall be used on the
three-mile road to the navy yard

The authority Of congress was just Is paramount
in 1864 as it is in 1918. which means that it Is not para
mount at all. Congress in time Of war is always reluctant
to acknowledge the powers Of the executive and to admit
that the executive alone can WELD these powers. It is,
and necessarily Jealous Of the executive author
ity. and 1t ought to be jealous within reason. Because
1t is vested with the sole power to declare war, it seeks
at every opportunity to vest itself with the further power
to conduct the war. But wars cannot be carried on in
that way. as experience has shown.
There is nothing new or astonishing or even disturb

congress from week to week and month to month against
Wilson'S alleeed encroachments and usurpa-

only another phase of an irrepressible conflict which can
do no serious damage unless congress actually restraints

NO LlNDBERGH TALKS WANTED

Charles A. Lindbergh. author of a book opposing ana
denouncing the war, and the candidate for governor Of
Minnesota endorsed by orders of the Nonpartisan league
management. was unable to find a place In which to
speak in Duluth last Monday. Preliminary arrankements
haa oeen made. first with the Shriners and then with the
"ooomeh Tor their halls. but in each case when the trus-
tees In charge learned of the purpose for which their
property was wanted they refunded the money which had
been paid and declined to permit their halls to be used
Tor this purpose. 1t wa reported that the Lindbereh
people planned a street meeting, but the city authorities
were on their guard against this, and If such a purpose
had been entertained it was abandoned.
The fact appears to be that the people Of Duluth do
not want a man whose utterances are tainted with .ed,-
ton to speak in public in their city, and in this they ex-
hibit sound judgment and good Americanism.
The statement is often made that this is q free coun.
try. 1t is, within certain necessary limits. A man ia fre.
to do as he pleases so long as he does not interfere with
the rights OF others. But a man is not free to shoot a FUN

QUICKER CITIZENSHIP.

DR.. Porter Roberts, an immigration expert OF New
York, believes that the time which must elapse between
the declaration by an immigrant of his intention to be-
come a citizen-and the actual completion of his citizen
ship and the issuance Of full naturalization papers should
be cut down to not more than 80 days. When only this
part Of the suggestion is read it will be greeted with a
pronounced negative, for there is a very decided impress
sion that still more safeguards should be thrown around
the whole subject Of naturalization. But DR.. Roberts
accompanies this sugge stion by another, which is that if
necessary the immigrant should be required to wait per-
haps five years before making his original declaration.
That is different
1t Is not as easy to become an American citizen now
- 1t was q few years ago when it was said that an i'm
migrant might step of his ship in the morning. vote in
the afternoon and be on the New York police force be-
fore night. The immigrant may declare his intentions at
any time, but when he comes to complete his citizenship
he must Ut least make a showing OF fitness.
Dr.. Roberts objects to the present practice oh the
ground that during the period which must elapse be-
tween the original declaration Of intent and final nat
uranzation the individual is in effect a citizen of no coun-
try. has thrown of allegiance to his former govern
mentsan yet he has acquired no rights here.

Ing declaration were required. the suggestion of DR..
Roberts may be appropriate.

THAT AlRPLANE BILLION

1t is generally admitted that the working ont q, orr
airplane program thus for has not been satisfactory.
There has been such a wide gap between prediction and
performance that much indignation has been felt and ex-
pressed. There have been charges Of both Incompetence
and corruption. These charges are to be investigated
promptly by Che department Of justice, and the man who
will have charge of the Investigation is Charles E. Hughes
tice, former governor of the state Of New York, who won
his spurs In the now famous insurance investigation which
shattered a number Of regulations and resulted in needed
reforms in the entire insurance field. The appointment.
OF Mr.. Hughes to take care Of this work is a guarantee
that the Investigation Will be conducted without fear Or
favor, and with no purpose other than to get at the truth.
1t may be we'll at this stage, to call attention.to a
number Of gross exaggerations which have helped to con-
fuse the issue. By means Of direct statement and inuendo
the impression has gone abroad that a billion dollars was
appropriated for arplane work. that this entire sum ha.
been expended, and that we are now just where we were
before. without airplanes or the facilities for producing
any, and Independently the entire billion dollars has been
wasted or stolen.
