PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

I congress shall make no law .
abridging the freedom Of speech or Of
the press" so reads clause in our
Constitution.
This is a wise provision. The citi
zens of a democracy should at all
times know of and be able to criticise
the management of their affairs. In
vestigatOn and criticism in the pres
ent war have been Of great benefit
In Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made.
There is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct Of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the rig:I Of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icSIH is always welcome, but who is
to decide what Is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjectiyet
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training az corrective OF
our unpreparednc9s would have been
cousi ructiTe, and yet X waG not adopt
ed Who can tell, II II had been ac-
copied when first proposed, what the
resul, wouid have been On this war!
II ~e had had more publicity uDon
the production Of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions Of thing
irg men would professionally lave
stimulated the rapiGity with which
these articles we're being produced,
end the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public. and these the peo-
pie do not ask 70 know. But in the
main full information concerning the
progress Of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t Is the peoples
war it Is war supported by the peo-
pie, financially ard physically, and
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered.

EDITORIAL
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will indorse out
right the program of the National Sc
curity League to prevent the election
or reelection of any members OF Con
gress this year who are not known Il
be vigorous proponents of the war OF
who can be lured to support any Spe
cious efforts at an inconclusive peace
The country needed such nonpolu
cal organization as the league to leat
the fight against the milk fed Office
holders and office seekers who. In
many parts Of the country are cater
ing to the hopes of the people that
the war may be ended, even though Il
is not ended right. The league can
come to Colorado, for instance, and
build fires under two or three poliu-
clans who probably will seek re-elec,
tons here and, without its motives be.
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their pc
litical careers.
Just how the war will terminate
will depend mostly upon the United
States. Just what the United States
will do depends in a great measure
upon Congress. If there Is a strong
sentiment for premature. peace in lis
membership the task of putting
through our war program until our III
stitutions are absolutely safe will be
complicated. We are pledged now to
60 through with the war by force.
without stint or limit" and we must
support that pledge by electing mcn
to Congress who will "stay put" on
the issue until victory is won.
For that matter, Americans should
be careful about electing anybody 10
any Office now who Is not clear-cut on
the war. Men Of no particular force
in private life have much weight add
ed to their opinions when they are
clothed with the authority Of office.
We cannot afford to have any such
backing the pacifists in the dark days
of the war that are to come. We must
make this a poor season for "yellow
dog" office seekers of whatever grade
or party or politics.-Colorado Springs
Gazette.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Within Next TWO Years 100000 viii
Bs Spent in Hawaii in Cor
,structina Highways.

Hawaii Is awakening to the value o.
good roads. Within the next two years
Honolulu will spend 100000 in roaC
building in the Island of Oahu. Con
crete will be extensively used in th'
work as the Hawaiian has learned til
value Of permanent construction. Amer
lean engineers are largely responsible
for the character Of road building il
the territory and for the good street:
OF the city of Honolulu. OF the latte
there are 234 miles within the cit,
proper and, altogether, 474 in the coUn
ty. Honolulu now has an arrangement
with the territorial government WI re
by that city receives 100000 a yea
for the construction of streets ant
S350,000 for maintenance. There i
in the latter figures lesson for Tex:
road builders who have-a tendency t.
exhaust all road funds on coastructi1;
leaving nothing for maintenance.

BINDER TWINE FOR THE
HARVEST OF 1918.

The manufacturers price for binder
Irvine for the harvest Of 1918 has been
fixed at % cents per pound, and the
Food Administration advises that in
view OF the risk. assumed by retail
dealers, 1t will not consider unreason-
able for them differential or margin
of two cents per pound cash or Its
equivalent, and two and one-half cents
on time, with freight added from the
factory.
This decision is based upon the fact
that Irvine will have to be ordered
unusually early on account of slow
freight movement caused by unusual
demands on the railways; that these
early shipments and the necessarily
high price of Irvine will increase the
financial responsibility of the retail
dealer and that the war has increased
the cost of doing business.
Farmers are earnestly urged to
place their orders for probable re-
uuirements for binder Irvine as soon
as possible, so that twine dealers can
provide by early shipment for an ade-
uuate supply Of Irvine to meet harvest
requirements. Shipping conditions
are such that more time must be all
lowed from factory to local distribute
ing points to avoid danger Of short
age in supply.
