FARMERS NEGLECT TO LOOK Az
TER THE PUBLIC DOLLAR AS
CAREFULLY AS AFTER
THEIR OWN

Two miles of public road. Cost
$4,000. This is $4,000 per mile Or
more than S14 a foot, or about $125
an inch Rural Welfare gets these fig
ures from the State Highway Com
mission of New Jersey. No doubt the
road is necessary, but this is lot of
money. The public pocketbopk used
to turn pale when we talked about
$4,000 a mile for roads. The hysteria
of the highpowered high-cost-road
promoter is in full bloom now.
In Ohio there is another high cost
example of politics and pull. Four
miles of a certain type of road at
cost of nearly $4,000 per mile,
against the protest of majority of
the abutting property owners, is an
other sample of the high-powered pro-
moter's work. If properly managed
there ought to be clear profit of ST.
900 a mile in this bold stunt.
There are many miles of roads in
every STATE Wnere from $l,O00 to ST.
500 per mile would put the road in
good cindition. There is seldom any
graft or rake-off in repairing good
roads. Farmers neglect to look after
the public dollar as they do their own
dollar. If forty miles of roads can be
put in good condition for $4,000, more
people will be served than if this big
sum is spent on one mile and few
smart chaps get several thousand dol
lars profit.
Why should public road officials
permit sucr stunts? Mr. Farmer, it's
your money. What do yoT say? Don't
blame the promoter for getting rich

POLITICS RECON-
VENED WITH A
VENGEANCE
Interesting Account of How Republic
cans Have Supported President
When Democrats aFiled.

The following comment on the
Presidents plea for a Democratic
Congress from The Pathfinder OF
Washington, one of the most widely
read weekly magazines in the country,
is quite interesting just at this time:
President Wilson in his address to
congress of May 81 last made this an
nouncement: Politics is adjourned.
The elections will go to those who
think least of it, to those who go to
the constituencies without eXplana-
lions or excuses, with plain record
of duty faithfully and disinterestedly
performed"
This high sentiment was the watch
wor din the political field this year al
most up to the eve of the election Of
November 5. But during the last week
of the campaign it was thrown to the
winds and as a result there developed,
during that brief tine, one of the bit
terest contests the country has ever
known. The elections are now over
and their results are known to all. But
in order to complete our record we
must sketch the leading features of
this historic political war; which is
secondary in importance only to the
great war itself.
Reports from all over. the country
indicated that it was pretty certain
the Republicans would have major
ity In the next house and probably al
so in the senate. s an eleventh-hour
measure to save the day for his party,
the president was induced to Issue
proclamation in which he conjured
his fellow countrymen" to eleca dem
ocratic congress which would do as he
said.
He started by telling the people that
he is their servant" and assuring
them that he would accept their judg-
ment without civil"; but he said mo
scruple of taste must, In grim times
like these, be allowed to stand In the
way OF speaking the plain truth"
Then he blazed away.
He would not go so far as to say
that "any political party is paramount
in matters of patriotism" The Repub-
llcan minority In congress, he admit
ted, had been "pro-war," but where
they had been wrong was in being
"antl-adminlstratlon To elect a Re-
publican congress now would divide
the leadership" whereas what was
needed was that "the nation should
give Its undivided support to the gov
eminent under a united leadership"
The Republicans, he charged, had
sought to take the conduct OF the war
out OF his hands," and this was mo
time for divided council" re retlter-
ated the charge made In the Wiscon-

been on the great war measures. On
81 roll-calls on war bills the votes
cast by Republicans in favor of such
bills were rs per cent. of the party
strength while only 67 per cent. of
the Democrats supported them. In
stead of hampering the president as he
had charged, the Re publicans had
given him better support than his own
party had, it was pointed out; in fact
the Republicans had made record
for loyalty and unselfshness which
was unprecedented in political his
tory"
1t was admitted that there were
some domestic questions" on which
the Republicans differed from the
Democrats who are in power. For
example their idea of justice was not
fulfilled when the farmers wheat was
price-fxed and the planters cotton
was exempted and allowed to remain
a subject of profiteering. Also the Re-
publicans did not believe that con-
gress should be excluded from taking
full part in the economic prepara-
ton for the coming peace"
This is not the presidents personal
war, nor the war of congress or of
the Democratic or Republican party,
but 1t is the war of the people. 1t is
more; it is the war of the allied pow.
ers, of the civilized world, against the
barbarism of Germany" said the
statement. Hence it was unjust that
half the citizenship of this country
should be deprived of its rlghtful
share In the measures that are to be
adopted.
If the Republicans were entrusted
with power in congress they would dc
everything possible ito drive the wal

sion to his most loyal admirers" It
speaks of the utter falseness" of the
presidents charges and 1t brands his
appeal as ian unnecessary debase-
ment of presidential dignity and an
unblushing incorporation to the
vulgar uses of partisan electioneering
of cause that knows no partisan
ship"
1t condemns the presidents use of
vague and dangerous language, whose
real meaning cannot be understood.
He said that the election results
would be watched with anxiety ION
the other side of the water" The
Sun asks whether the president was
speaking of Germany, or of our allies,
when he mentioned those ION the 9TH
er side of the water" whose opinion
he was so solicitous about.
The Democrats in congress stole a
march by getting the presidents man.
ifesto printed in the Congressional
Record, so it could be printed and
sent out all over the land as a free
public document, at public expense
This was one of the abuses which the
Democrats said they would correct
when they got into control, but this
time the crisis was SO great that they
could stop at nothing and it was ANY
thing to win"

sin primary campaign, that the cleo
ton of a Republican congress would
be interpreted on the other side of the
water as reputation of his leader
ship" The aim of so much to support
him as to control him" He appealed
to the voters to elect a Democratic
congress 'in order that the nations
inward unity may be evident to all
the world" and that it would not be
possible to misunderstood" either at
home or abroad, what the American
people stood for.
If German aerial bomb had drop
ped on Washington it would not have
created more of a stir than this pro-
nunciamento of the president on the
eve of the election. Most of the DEM
ocratic leaders, with eyes on this cleo
ton, we're elated at this masterstroke
of their chief, as they considered it.
Even Vice-President Marshall, though
not allowed to have much to say about
things, approved it, Like a German
bomb, however, it also had the effect
Of arousing antagonism that would
otherwise have rested dormant.
The Republican leaders, having
thus been notified that politics was re-
con yened, at once got busy on series

issued signed by Senators Lodge and
Smoot and RepresentatiN es Gillett and
Fess. The president was condemned
for interfering and trying to dictate
in elections. The case of Michigan
was cited, where he had picked Henry
Ford for the senate--a man who was
notorious for his advocacy of peace
at any price and who has son eX-
empted from military service"-simp-
ly because Ford would "blindly sup
port him."
The president must admit they said,
that Republicans were loyal enough
to take up great loans and pay enor-
nous taxes" furnished important men
at no salary, for some of the great war
boards, and supply at least half of the
soldiers-but they were mot loyal
enough to be trusted with any share
in the government of the country" If
