CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Nom Motoring Public No Longer Re
CARDS Good Roads ~ speedways
tor Fortunate Neiqhbors.

The public's conception of "gooG
roads, has undergone radical change
In the last two years.
Prior to the entry Of the United
States into the world war, the non.
motoring American public, more often
than not. thought good roads were adj.
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars
writes E. A. Williams, IT,, president
OF large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were un.
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con.
struction and upkeep Of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits SO far as they could see.
The war merely FASTENED what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years; 1t furnished the set.

Try.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as 'speeiways''
for the motoring "aristOcracy" 1t has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors,
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation Of trucks. Its
vision has been broadened; it sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from combination of these factors
benefits which have direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say. to the very table of the consumer
it sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and. those who pause to con.
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the

With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
hes conception of how roads should
be built also has undergone q change
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average man.:
idea of good roads and that of thu

p"rtance Of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows. Is to build roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface Of the highway. Is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however. do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con.
| slant repairs.
That is just what We are coming to
in road building. For years it has been
customary for county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham.
pered by lack Of funds, and made.

First of all. the campaign plans

the angels of death called at the
home of Rev. | l.. S ory and
claimed as their own, his recious
son, Henry Lee. He was only
sick a short while and bore his
suffering SO sweet and patiently
All was done for him that loving
hands could do but God knew
best to take him Home. He was
a true christian boy and is miss
ed so much and that vacant place
can never be filled but we know
"Earths loss is Heavens gam "
Weep not dear father and loved
ones for we know Henry is sweet
ly sleeping in the arms of Jesus.
He expressed his faith in Jesus
Christ and was so willing to go
he ask the writer's to meet him
In Heaven. Oh it was so hard 10
give him up, home is SO sad and
lonely without him. He was low
ed l.y all his associates, to know
him was to love him. He was
conscious until the last ard his
confession was so sweet that we
all know he was ready and will
ing to die. He was tenderly laid
to rest in Ocobla cemetery as 1t
was his desire. His grave was
covered with pretty flowers. Our
hearts reaches out in sympathy
for the entire family, you have
our prayers that some sweet day
we can all join Henry in that

reports each of the conflicting
ctlnns Of the committee will
have to defend it's own. This will
me IN more argument more speHc-
! hes aud lore lelay. On the
floor of the senate as in the com
lnittee, any senator may offer
amendments and un|oubtly sew
elal of them will try to have their
pet schemes incorporated in the
treaty.
The constitution provides that
two thirds of the senator's present
must VOTE for he treaty to ratIfy
it. Ii is not necess Try, therefore
that a two-lh,rds vote Of the en-
tire membership be cast in lts-fa.
vor nor is it necessary that every
member of the senate be present.
If all the 96 members Were pres
ent ga votes would ratify the ire
atty.
When the treaty is ratified the,
senate will advise the president
of its action, just af it does in
the case of any bill or resolution.
President Wilson will then issue
proclamation declaring the war
at an end.
I IF. however the senate should
refuse to ratify the treaty With
amendments, then the amend
ment would have to be submitted
to all the nations, large and small
which signed the document. If
they consented to the amend
ments, the process of ratification
could 60 ou.
The senate is not empowered TO
Echange a single one of the $4,000
words of the covenant without
the consent of the other powers.
1t can, however, make its ratifi
cation conditions upon the adop-
ton of amendment. That is, it
can say:
"We ratify the treaty provid
ed, that article 519 be st icken
out, or that new article be add
ed to read as follows" In this
case the ratification would be
binding after the other powers
had accepted the conditions
named.
Ii the senate refuses to ratify
the treaty it is considered likely
that new peace conference will
be colled, for none of the allied
powers would be willing to be a
party to a treaty to which the
United States was not a party.
We hold the money-bag, and cur
wishes must be considered.
Inasmuch as this is the first
war in which the United States
has had so great number of al
lies, it is not at all unlikely that
the supreme court may be asked
to outline just what the powers
of the senate will be.

RATIFICATION OF TREATY
INVOLVES EIGHT
MOTIONS
Two Thirds Of Senators Present
Must Vote for Acceptance
OF Pact.

How will he pace treaty be
handled by the senate, which
mnst rAtify i: before the war is
ofiici ,lly end d
Ihave mace a close study Of
subject from historical and other
sources Unless tne senate kicks
over all prrc ,dentS and exercises
it, own sweet will, here is about
the way the biggest job before
the new congress will be disposed
of.
President Wilson, upon his re
turn home from Europe, probab.
~ will deliver III person at the
capitol special official copy of
the treaty. Until he submits it
officially it cannot be considered,
except informally in the speech
es OF the members.
The president probably will
make an address to the senate
to request the ratification OF the
treaty and explain some of its
features, particularly the League
of Nations covenant.
Then Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, who will be chairman of
the committee on foreign rela-
tions, will move that the treaty
be referred to his committee.
The senate will agree to the mo-
ton without discussion.
Then will begin the big task of
studying the tre ty in the CON-
mittee. Whether the conferences
of the committee will be open to
the public is question for the
committee to decide, but the
chances are the hearings will be
open.
!, Experts on international law
will be called in to give their
opinions on phases of the treaty
(which may seem questionable.
Members of the American peace
1delegation at Paris, also, will be
Z called in to interpret some OF the
n phases.
y President Wilson himself may
be asked by the committee to ex-
plain the League of Nations Gov
enant. If he is called on it is
expected that he will appear,
ready to answer any question
that may be asked of him, as ad-
vice from Paris make it appear
that he is ready and willing to
give the American people all the
information they desire about
the treaty.
The committee may adopt any
number of amendments to the
treaty by a majority vote of its
members, but if it does SO the
amendments must be approved
by all the nations which have
signed the treaty-includlng
Germany, if she signs lit. This
would mean great delay in fin
ally establishing the peace OF the
world, so If any amendments are
offered there is certain 10 be a
lot OF argument and discussion III
the committee conferences. The
committee will be made up OF
ten Republicans aud seven Dem
ocrats. Partisan feeling probab-
ly will enter into the discussion
How long it will take for the
committee to consider the treaty
is problematical, but senators
now in Washington do not expect
the committee will report for at
least.a month aud half or two
months after The treaty is sub
milted to il.
When the committees report
or reports, reach the floor Of The
senate there will be another dis
cussit by senators who are not
members Of the foreign relations
committee, and if there are two
