Middletown is becoming proud of
its new concrete street as the work
progresses. The Middletown Tran
script says: "The new concrete street
from South Broad to Lockwood street
on the north, promises to be in every
respect an admirable piece of road
making. 1t is being, we believe,
honestly and thoroughly done both as
to materials and workmanship, and
will prove, no doubt, an agreeable ex-
ception to most of the town street i'm
provements in the past.
at is seemingly built for the ages,
a modern replica of the Appian way,
that famed Roman road, (also con-
crete in its foundation) which was in
perfect repair 900 years after its
building and save where destroyed, is
even yet so after lapse of over 1000
years.
Saturday the first stretch of the
new road, running from its beginning
on the southern edge of the town to
Cochran street, was thrown open to
travel, thereby removing the necessity
of the muddy detour vehicles were
forced to make.
Concrete" says The Transcript, "is
the only fit material for road making,
and is only far more durable, but in
the end vastly cheaper, and costs,
also, little or nothing for repairs or
upkeep. We trust the State is
irrevocabIy committed to this method
the one the experience of many States
has finally endorsed after many
trials"

are differences of opinion about the exact from the

in the against the mtansm Of the Central powers
will have been made in vain unless some organization is
created which will wipe out mllarsm and make wars of
aggression practically impossible.
The big trouble about the problem in this country is that
the public mind is not prepared for it. and demagogues
and politicians without any particular moral sense are seek
ing to take advantage of that fact 1t took two years to
prepare the United States to get into the Great war; but
when it did go went in with its whole SOUL determined
to devote its ultimate soldier and dollar to the cause Those
politicians who sought to obstuct the true course at that
time have since learned what the penalty for msjudgng
