Roadbuilding in Two Counties

Four years ago St. Louis county, Missouri. voted sS,O0o0oo in bonds for good roads, Though it had a lead of four Maricopa county Arizona the two counties will off to an almost even start in the work of construction
 couple of obstinate citizens held m +ha bond issue in the courts and though defeated all along the line they carried the litigation to the United States supreme court which has just declared the validity of the bonds
 The Globe Democrat says of the matter;
 The bonds will be immediately issl,ed reeis- tered and offered for sale in such quantities as will provide for the normal progress of the work
 The condition of the bond issue is that every section of the county be adequately provided with roads But all cannot be built at once without interfering with traffic. Roads will be ,xept onen in each direction, insofar possible The mans will have to be altered in such manner as to make available state funds, under the act and federal funds There will be difficulty as to either fund for the county will have sufficient ;unds to build roads that will meet the most rigoro,a fed eral requirements.
 It IS now the hope that practical rad work can begin within ninety days. There may he de- lays as have been met elsewhere because of hrh costs or road materials. but it is source of great satisfaction that there will be no more delavs through litigation The great majority of tha people of the county had their hopes deferred for nearly four years by vexatious Iitieation which was without legal or other merit The legal vic tory causes rejoicing in other counties also for It removes the probability of similar suits to. ob struct road building

Rouoh Seas Ahead

It is certain that the peace treaty with the cove nant of the League of Nations is due for rough passage if there is to be passage at all, in the senate largely by reason of the disregard that has been shown the senate by the president Knowing ss he did the opposition which the covenant of the league must encounter. opposition which could mot be removed it would have seemed the part of wisdom to to confine it to the fewest possible members.
 The covenant itself has been laid before the senators in full but only abstract of fragment of the treaty itself part of it dealing with the central powers has been presented to the senate along with the rest of the country. Such disrespect to body which must in the end say whether the treaty shall be ratified but prejudice members who may be on the fence and rivet their opposition at last
 The democratic senators, those upon whose sup port the president counted placed at dsadvan- tage in the debate which it inevitable would take place on the assembling of congress- Knowing no more of the treaty than their republican colleagues do and none of them knowing more than the man on the street they cannot in the debate orfe, any other argument in support of the treaty than tn, fact that the president wants it ratified Thay only urge blind obedience; action without dclibera- ton; that the senate, far this momentous document is concerned, convert its7le into rubber stamp. That kind of an argument cannot appeal to friend or foe it is more likely 10 turn luk ewarm friends to foes.
 Some of the friends of the treaty among the senators have been guilty of bad strategy in their extravagant claims of the support Of it; their dictions that it would be ratified without amend ment. The average senator must resent forecast of his action upon any question concerning which ne is not yet fully informed and this O. resentment is likely to take the form of opposition.
 That the treaty will be disposed of finally cording to the senator's estimate of it's merits in- dcated by the silence of large body of thein Since the announcement of the amendment of the League of Nations covenant, hardly a dozen members have given the slightest exp esson of their views an1 intentions.

Bad Source But Good Advice

In view Of the record he has made in the manage ment of the telegraph and telephone wires no recom mendation of Postmaster General BrIeson regarding the future of those utilities would carry great weight It would be very much the same as if a bankrupt merchant should proffer advice as to business policies to receiver. Silence would be the proper role of Burleson just now
 Yet his advice though not original with him. is worth considering It is that these utilities be placed under the interstate commerce commission with power to fix both rates and wages. That seems to be to what all public utilities are coming There appears to be no other way out
 Though the wages of the telephone and telegraph employees have not been increased in the same measure as those of railway employees Bureson has succeeded in doing something to the machinery so that notwth standing the higher rates service he has imposed it is in crippled state. The companies cannot now merce commission could not lower the wages without creating serious industrial disturbance Anyhow, it is not likely to be attempted.
 The high cost of living has been anchored by gov ernment management of things in the last two years We see no way to lower it. We must make up our minds to start from the high level and adjust our selves and everything else to it.
 Now in the matter of steel Director General Hines, though he successfully attacked and dissi- pated the war industries board for fixing the price of steel so high finds that the works of the board live after it. Without any good economic reason the di- rector general finds that he buy steel no cheaper
 The war industries board put the railroads and consumers of steel generally in the grasp of the steel trust and there the country is today more securely than it has been at time since President Roose. welt caused the grip of generally to relax than dozen years ago.

Literature and Drink

Under the title, Shall Literature Go Dry Too?"r the Literary Digest thinks there is due a new an thology "of a farewell sort made up of the prose and poetical allusions the strong drink which we about to forswear"
 Then is introduced by the Digest the extracts from writers of all ages from Homer and Anacreon to George Arnold who have paid literary tribute to every strong drink that civilized men have brewed distilled or otherwise concocted But this is probably not the last shall hear literature rocking with wine, beer, and brandy, and long after America and the world has gone dry there will poets and prose writers who will celebrate the ancient virtues of virtues of alcoholic liquors We have poems concerning the glory as well as the horrors of we will have others so long men can write. But even if a world drouth should give tone to the poetry of the future, the past will not be disturbed. Its poetry will only appear have been "aged and mellowed"
 This is the first time the effect of prohibition poetry has been suggested. In one of the early stories of Owen Mister there mention of an incl dent at Deming, New Mexico, which was then in the throes of local drouth. We think story anc- ful; heard of suspected a drouth at Dem ing until the state went dry
 In this story there is preparation for literary outburst" in the public schools. One small boy had committed to memory for recitation 'Lochnvar," which the teacher, aided and abetted by committee of citizens, believed needed purifying

 The teacher betrayed some aptitude for revamping poetry when he turned the following:

 With this lovely maid
 To lead but one measure
