NEW MAP or EUROPE.

The peace conference is said to be perfecting
/; new map of Europe. 1t is expected that this
work will be completed within the next few
days for incorporation in the peace treaty.
Germany's western frontier, bordering as it
does on France, is matter of primary import
ance, since it must be sterilized in military
sense, so as to constitute barrier against a
repetition of the experience Of 1914.
Various methods are being considered for
the accomplishment of this purpose. With
reference to the west bank of the Rhine, where
the allied armies are now stationed, members
OF the peace conference seem to favor some plan
which will render this country irnpotent for
German military usage without giving it a de
finite political status. This might be accom-
phshed by making the inhabitants independent
OF military service to either France or Germany
and without any Legislative representation
whatever except some form of local self gov
eminent. This in general seems to be the pres
ent plan. 1t may be altered before the peace
terms finally determined upon.
The new European map will also doubtless
include very material changes due to the ere
alton of Czecho-Slovakia and the placing Of
new territories under the control of Rumenia
Greece and Serbia
The map of Asia will also be somewhat
changed, particularly in Asia Minor

AMERICAN rNDIvIDUAL1sM.

We cannot do better than go back to the great
Lincoln for light and leading In these days
when theorists and anarchists are so determined
to unsettle the foundations of our institutions.
No man has spoken wiser words than his, and
much that he said is even more pertinent to
conditions now than while he lived. To the
socialists, collectivists and protagonists Of gov
eminent ownership Of his day, of our day, of
all days, he said: Property is desirable; it
is q positive good in the world That some
should be rich shows that others may become
rich, and hence it is great encouragement to
enterprise. Let not him that is homeless pull
down the house Of another but let him work
diligently and build one for himself Thus, by
example, assure him that his own shall be safe
from violence when built"
To the lawlessness Of his dav and ours. to
those who would foment class hatred, gain un
just ends by force or violence, refuse to be
reasonable, overturn the existing order and
override the law, he said: ''In a democracy
where majority rule by the ballot through the
form of law, these physical rebelGons and
bloody disturbances radically unconstitu
tional and are treason"
And besides our greatest, we have one other
splendid exponent of that Americanism to
which we should cling now in these troubled
times more firmly than ever before Theodore
Roosevelt made it clear that to him American
ism and individualism were in a sense svnonv-
NOUS terms I'm the long run, he declared
4 the thrift, industry and capacity of the in
dividuaI must always remain the chief factors
jim his success. By unwise or dishonest legis-
lation or administration on the part Of national
authorities all these qualifications in the indi-
vidual can be nullifed; but wise Legislation
and upright administration will give them free
scope
Words like these may well be pondered now

for unless we misread history there never was
an age when there were SO many wandering
lights for folly to follow, so little reverence for
what experience has approved, such a readi-
mess to cut loose from ancient mornings and
such fierce determination to break with the
past. Following this mighty war, it was in
evitable that much that was old and bad would
have to go. Wars commonly destroy the out
worn things and lay the citadels of injustice
low. But the danger always and it was
never greater than now-that they will sweep
away, good with evil, and that the sturdy in
diyidualism which has, beyond all question,
been the most potent factor in making Amer
lea what it is, viii have to fight for its right
to exist. Certainly, if doctrinaires and theor-
lists and political intriguers and experiments
have their way, individualism and personal lib
erty, the most valuable heritages the founders
of our republic left US, will be things of the
past.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.

! A nationwide campaign for improved roads
is being urged by many commercial organiza-
tons and the movement has the sanction of the
federal government Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, in an address in which he emphasized
the need of extensive highway construction,
said that from unexpended balances beyond
what was necessary to meet the federal allot-
Iments and from amounts accommodating during
the current fiscal year, the government will
have to expend in road building during the cal
Fendar year approximately seventy-fve million
dollars and next year we shall have from the
federal appropriations about twenty million
dollars and probably more than this amount
from state sources. The states in addition will
spend sums in excess of what they have as
signed or will assign for federal aid of road
projects.
The improved roads, it is pointed out, are
badly needed, and the resumption of road con-
struction on large scale will provide employ
ment for labor during the readjustment of in
dustries from war to a peace basis.
There is much to be said in favor of this
good roads agitation; but instead Of the present
haphazard method Of road building there
should be perfected a practical uniform system
Of construction on routes where we'll built high
ways are most needed to facilitate marketing,
and the top surface capable OF holding up under
the heaviest motor truck travel should be laid
on a well drained roadbed 1t should be renem-
bered that drainage, factor often neglected
by highway engineers and contractors in the
past is the basis of permanent good roads.
