Paving Upkeep.

TMOISE is now in the midst of annual
TX paving repairs. The streets are be-
~ ing torn up while the holes are being
plugged up. Next year there will be new
holes and more of them. Some parts of the
paving were repaired last year to an extent
Of 80 per cent of the total surfacing in that
particular section. The average in the bus
mess district now is 10 per cent. Would
it not be more economical now to resurface
the old paving? Perhaps upkeep cost is
not the only factor to be considered. The
old paving under the hole-plugging system
is in bad condition the greater part of the
year, thereby greatly reducing it's value. A
new surface would avoid that state of af-
fairs for number of years and, in our
opinion, cost less than continued repairing
of the old surface.

Edith Cavell Comes Home.

GPHE body of Edith Cavell, the English
Red Cross nurse, has been trans
] ported to England to rest in the
cemetery near her home an honor befitting
the sacrifice she made.
It is peculiarly significant that this
heroic woman should be brought home just
at the time when the Germans are making
their last wild protest against what they
are pleased to call the hardships OF the
peace terms imposed upon them.
Right now, when everybody is weary
of the haggling and the delays which keep
the world unsettled, it is well to remember
the fate of Edith Cavell and the brutality
which ordered her death in the hope of ter
rorizing the helpless and frightening away
their defenders.
It was an example of what victorious
Prussianism meant to the world
