GOOD ROADS

Good roads may be trite or
place question to discuss
during these stirring times, but
we feel that it is timely, neyerthe-
less.
Carroll county has done big
things during this war. and our
people should have learned the
lesson, if they have not, that the
county never before realized its
possibilities. We never believed
that we could be bond holders.
But several thousand of our pee
pie hold bonds aggregating several
hundred thousand dollars. 1t was
not believed that our people could
be induced to contribute so liber-
ally to the Red Cross and other
war causes, but they went over
the top every time. These things
have been done and they still have
large bank accounts and are pros
porous at home.
Our boys are coming home, and
after seeing the good roads in
England and France and about
camps in this country, they are
not going to be satisfied with our
mud roads. They will lead the
van for good roads, and they are
going to bea mighty force in this
county. The old fogy and the
not able to do" had just as well
get out of the way.

WILSON WILL ATTEND
Officially Announced that he Win
Attend Peace Conference

President Wilson win attend the
opening session of the peace confer
ence. This was announced Monday
officially. He will go Immediately
after the convening of the regular
session of Congress on Dec. 2.
The official statement was issued
at the White House.
How long the president will re-
main abroad he himself probably can
not now say. The time for the con-
vening of the peace conference has
not yet been announced, but the gem
eral belief is that it cannot be assem-
bled before late in December at the
earliest. If such proves the case the
president will be absent from the
country for at least month and prob
ably longer.
What plans the president may have
for his trip other than to attend the
opening of the peace conference and
to participate in the discussions
among the representatives of the as
ISOLATED nations, which will precede
it, have not been revealed. He UNI
doubtedly will be accompanied by Mrs
Wilson and it is expected that besides
visiting Paris, where the peace con-
gress probably will be held, he will
go to London and possibly to Brus-
sells and Rome.
Mr. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad reception such as has been
accorded but few men in public life.
He will be welcomed not only as the
president of the United States and
the commander-in-chief of its army
and navy but also as the champion of
world democracy.
In visiting Europe the president
will establish two presidents. He will
be the first chief executive of the
United States to participate in peace
conference for the settling of issues
growing out of a war in which this
country participated and. likewise he
will be the first president to leave
North America during his term of Of
fee.
In reaching his decision to attend
the peace conference President Will
son is understood to have been largely
influenced by representations from
Premiers Lloyd George of England
Clemenceau of France and other
statesmen of the entente countries.
The principles and terms of settle
ments enunciated by the president
have been accented by both the as
ISOLATED nations and the central pow
ers as the basis upon which peace
is to be re-established, and it is I'M
derstood that it is for the working
out Of the application of these prin-
ciples that his presence is so earnestly
desired by the allied statesmen.

al GREAT LESSON

The world will be taught great
lesson after the war, and President
Wilson has already begun it BY
providing for the care and feeding
of our conquered enemies. In
spite Of their barbarities and afro
cities that have shocked civili-
cation, no sooner are they helpless
and hungry than they are fed and
nourished, and saved from suffer
ing. The German people will see
that democracy is not vengeful and
cruel, but kind and magnanimous,
and filled with love for humanity.
We have won glory and renown
by our arms. We will win still
greater honor by our consideration
for the vanquished. We have
taught the world to respect our
proves. A greater lesson will be
in teaching il our charity and
unselfishness. Verify. America is
proving herself the light of the
world.
The above from the Memphis
New Scimitar has the hearty en-
dorsement of many people. 1t
takes a great deal of charity and
unselfshness, however, to reach a
point where one is willing to
sacitice for the German people,
and there must be no uncertainty
as to the actual need and that to
respnd would be a real deed of
charity.
This war has taught US many
big lessons, for the United States
part in it has been service of big
things along many lines.

COST OF WAR

1t is estimated by members of
the house ways and means COM
mittee and the senate finance COM
mittee that the cost of the war to
the American people is approx
mately 500, 100000, The total
appropriations made in the two
war sessions of the sixty. fifth con-
gress, to meet the expenses of the
war to June 30, 1919, amount to
$57, 000,000,000. The sudden col
lapse of the war, however, it is
estimated, will save this govern
ment practically $27, 900, 00o,O 900.
Including loans to the allies the
cost has been $4,000, 900, 900, but
$l0,000.000, 900 of this amount
was loaned to the allies, which will
be returned to the United States
10 due course of time.
The proceeds of the first four
liberty loans amounted to $4,000,
100000. and an additional five bill
lion loan will be foated in the
spring. which will increase that
amount to 2,OOO,OOO,0
1t is estimated that 100000
900 in taxes for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1918. were col,
lected and that 100000 1000 viii
be collected under the public rev.
enue bill. which will make $780,
O00,000,000 collected in taxes for
the two years ending June 80,
1919.
1t has been costly war, but
big things have been done, and ii
costs money to do big things in
the proper way.

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION
The results of the recent cleo
tiOns indicate an early ratification
of the Federal Prohibition Amend
ment. The election, along the
lines Of prohibition, was very
gratifying to the workers for the
constitutional amendment.
William Jennings Bryan, who
is giving much of his time to this
work, declares that the amend
Enent win not only be ratified By
May /, 1919, but will be ratified
by eight more states than neces-
sary.
Fourteen states have already
ratified. They are Mississippi,
Virginia. South Carolina, North
Dakota, Montana, Texas, South
Dakota, Arizona, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Delaware, Mass
achusetts and Louisiana.
Twenty-three dry states have
not voted upon the ratification
resolution yet, but all of these
are pretty certain to sanction the
amendment. These states are
Maine, Kansas, Oklahoma, North
Carolina, Tennessee, West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Colorado. Oregon,
Washington, Arkansas, Iowa, Ne
braska, Idaho, Utah. Indiana, New
Hampshire, Michigan, New Mex
leo, Ohio, Wyoming, Nevada and
Florida. OF these, several strength
ened their prohibition laws at the
last election from statutory to
bone dry and constitutional.
Adding these dry states to those
that have already ratified gives
thirty-seVen states which are reas-
onably certain, one more than is
necessary. OF the remaining states,
Vermont, New York, Illinois,
Minnesota, Missouri, California,
Rhode leland, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin, it is believed, all but the last
five named will eventually ratify,
These figures and conditions, it
seems to us, make fairly certain a
dry nation by 1920.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
President Wilson Tells Nation
to Praise Almighty

President Wilson in a proclamation
designated Thursday, Nov. %, as
Thanksgiving day, and said this year
the American people have special
and moving cause to be grateful and
rejoice. Complete victory, he said,
has brought not only peace, but the
confident promise of new day as
well, in which "justice shall replace
force and jealous intrigue among the
nations"
The proclamation follows:
at has been our custom to turn in
the autumn Of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God fer
His many blessings and mercies to us
as a nation. This year we have spec
ial and moving cause to be grateful
and to rejoice. God in His good pleas
IRE has given US peace. 1t has not
come as mere cessation Of arms, a
mere relief from the strain and TRACE
DIV of war. 1t has come as a great
triumph of right. Complete victory
had brought US not peace alone, but
the confident promise Of a new day
as well, in which justice shall replace
force and jealous intrigue among the
nations. Our gallant armies have
participated in a triumph which is
not married or stained by any purpose
of selfish aggression. In a righteous
cause they have won immortal glory
and have nobly served their nation
in serving mankind. God has indeed
been gracious. We have cause for
such rejoicing as revives and siren
CITIZENS in US all the best traditions of
eur national history. A new day
shines about US, in which our hearts
take new courage and look forward
with new hope to new and greater
duties.
while we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance
of those duties, and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
purpose, and pray that in all that we
do we shall strengthen the ties of
friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the
new structure of peace and good will
among the nations.
Wherefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day the 28th day Of November next,
as day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that date from
thelr ordinary occupations and IN
their several homes and places of
worship to render thanks to God, the
ruler of nations.
