Hold Machine In Strange
Case Pending Probe Here

Because of a faulty bill of sale the
police are holding the auto of Rosco
Maziot of William street. for fur
ther Identification. An investigation
by Detective Lawrence A. Long is also
being made to discover If possible the
Identity of the person who sold the car
to Maziot for $500. He signed as
Robert Mundy. of this city. but the
police do not know of any such person
The machine is touring car with
the number 3.167,181. According to
the automobile company no machine
of that number has been assembled
yet. Detective Long says that there
are indications that fictitious num-
Der has been substituted on the cylin-
der block.
While the police have no evidence
at present that the car In question has
been stolen, the faulty bill of sale and
the changed number indicate that ef-
forts have been made to conceal its
previous ownership.
Detective Long warned that state
statute provides fine of $1,000 for
misplacing or altering numbers or
Identification marks on automobiles.
For having a car which has been al
tered in ones possession there is fine
of from 500 to $500. Persons having
cars on which the numbers have been
erased should communicate with In
spector Dill at Trenton stating the
circumstances under which they re-
ceived the auto and now, If possible,
the number was removed or changed.
The police of Bayonne have been
forced to resort to a blockade of all
cars passing through the city after 8
o'clock in the evening, Mr.. Long said,
because of the great number of thefts
of autos in that city. and unless the
parties can disclose the auto numbers
in good condition to the satisfaction of
the police the cars are held in the city.
Automobile thefts in New York city
amount to 800 daily it is said.
The machine now held was obtained
with the assistance of Officers Muska
and Gutowski
Paige 5-passenger touring $4,000.

their proposal that the railroads be
nationalized under tri-parite control.
Declaring that the request of the
men that living costs be reduced or

the question of the future disposition

leaders said that If President Wilson
and congress could not meet this re-
quest ''the men would have to try to
find another solution"
1t was federal belief that the labor
leaders statement resulted from the
Presidents warning to the labor world

were only preparing their own de-

RETURNING SOLDIERS AND
 GOOD ROADS
(Arkansas Gazette)

The Gazette recently republished from the Hardy Herald these signifi- cant words from a letter that Fred w. Hersperger, a Sharp county sol. dier now in France, had written to his parents:
 Wish you could see the good roads over in this country. I am sure the road making in America is go- ing to begin in earnest now that so many of us have seen nothing but good roads, so many of them, and what they are worth to a country
 The opinion expressed by thu young Arkansan is shared by Henry J. Allen. who was elected governor of Kansas while he was in the Y. M. c. A. service in France. Just be- fore he was inaugurated governor of his state he attended the confer ence of governors at Annapolis, which was attended by 42 state ex- ecutives and IA slelect. At that meeting Governor-elect Allen told the governors and the other governors to be that Americas sol diers will return with a great di- versity of opinions on many political subjects, but they will return with a single mind on the subject of roads.
 Governor Allen is firmly convinced that without the improved highways Of France the war could not have been won. He says the men of the A. E. F generally appreciate this, and. what is more to the point. every single one of the more than 2,000,000 Americans who were sent to France has had personal expert ence with the convenience of these wonderful roads and has had last ingly impressed on his mind the diff ference between good roads and bad roads. Further. Governor Allen de- clares that the lethargy of the past will not be able to withstand the attitude of the more than 2000. 900 good roads missionaries who are now coming back from France.
 It seems safe to say that the pres ent Arkansas legislature may rest assured that every piece of good roads legislation it enacts will meet with the approval of those thousands | of Arkansas citizens who are return ing from France and who will have | a great part in shaping the future of this commonwealth.
 For one thing, there is bill pend ing to authorize the formation of l districts to repair and maintain . roads. That is the key to Frances | wonderful highway system-mainte- l nance. We can never have good roads in Arkansas--except for the

IGNORANCE OUR ONLY MENACE
 lSt Paul Press

The point has been we'll made and we have taken pains to emphasize it that ignorance is the menace that must be fought in this country in the form of Bolshevism, l. W. W.-ism or any other guise which the enemies of order and decence may assume. Even ignorance, which is far from general in America, would contain little menace if it were not capital fzed by designing politicians for De- litical ends, regardless of conse- quences. Bolshevism cannot get very far when it depends upon imposing upon the ignorant the belief that they can get something that they have not earned at the expense of those who by labor. diligence and thrift have laid something away. Appeals of this nature always are made to and only to the ignorant: those who can inform themselves know better. There are only about per cent of the people of the Unit ed States who cannot read and write. and while this is appalling in itself, 1t is comforting to know that from this small per centage must be drawn the element of Bolshevism. which is, after all, only Socialism carried to it's logical absurdity. Of the first 2.000.- 900 soldiers drawn to fight under he American flag 100000 or 10 per cent, were illiterates. which might be ter rifying in other circumstances.

CHRONIC STUPIDITY

The Germans will not learn. Per haps they cannot. The latest indi- cation of this is in the announcement of a faction temporarily in power in Berlin that only a particular class. the poletariat, will be permitted to take part in the government The so- called "bourgeoisie," that is to say. the element that has been measurably successful in life, are excluded. Any body except perhaps a German col lege professor or German sausage peddler knows by this time that Ger many's only hope of a hearing at the peace council depends upon the pre- sentation of proof that her represent atives speak for the German people
 This is one of the conditions imposed by President Wilson in his articles" and the poletariat is not the German people any more than the junkers are the German people. The despised "bourgeoisie" are a part of the body polite. and it would be just as req sonable to council with autocracy it. self. which excludes the mass of the population, as it would to council with a faction which excludes an other faction because of its social status.

 "The greatest vice of the American people is their wastefulness. An American wants what he wants when he wants it. I think it is unpatriotic to pay 75 cents a pound for butter and 80 cents a dozen for eggs. The great difference between Americans and Englishmen and people of other nations is that the Englishmen when they are faced with unreasonable pri- ces stop eating those articles of food which are unreasonablly high in price and live on less expensive foods Our own people will have to learn how to control food prices by practicing self denial on occasions and help control prices"
