The Patrol Committee Highway Bill
has been Introduced in tho House ard
Is now in the hands of the committee
on highways and bridges.
An important hearing was held on
Tuesday evening nj which Hon. War
rem r. Austin, chairman Of the legis-
lative committee Of the Patrol Com
mittee and other members of the COM
mittce appeared in favor OF the bill.
II appears that the House and SEN
ate committees on highways and
bridges have appointed sub-commit-
tee TO draft highway bill which they
will introduce. II remains to be seen
what kind Of bill they propose in
opposition to the Patrol Committee
bill. IL they draft a better bill for
the State than VIC have done; good
luck to them.
The Patrol Committee has stirred
up public sentiment on the road ques-
ton and some good will surely come
from it. Our bill carries out sugges-
tons Of prominent men on the Fed
cral Highway Transports Committee
that careful surveys and plans be
made at this time SO that money will
not be wasted in the future.
Too many of our Legislators are of
the kind that save at the spigot and
lose at the bung 'hole. A $4,000
appropriation to use in planning for
the future looks big to them, but they |
are perfectly easy about spending
over a million dollars year without
my planning at all.

gallant men at the front and by the
gallant women whose husbands and
lovers, whose sons and brothers, are at
the front. These men are high Of soul,
as they face their fate on the shell
shattered earth, or in the skies above
or in the waters beneath; and no less
high Of soul are the women with torn
hearts and shining eyes; the girls
whose boy lovers have been struck
down in their golden morning, and the
mothers and wives to whom word has
been brought that henceforth they
must walk in the shadow.
These are the torchbcarers; these
are they who have dared the Great

given them; and yet such spirit will
in the long run avail nothing unless in
the years of peace the average man
and average woman of the duty per-
forming type realize that highest Of
all duties, the one essential duty, is
the duty of perpetuating the family
life, based on the mutual love and re-
spcct of the one man and the one
woman and on their purpose to rear
the healthy and fne-souled children
whose coming into life means that the
family, and therefore the nation,
shall continue in life and shall not end
in a sterile death.

death; death, not for them only, but
for the race; the death which d In

But honor. highest honor. TO those
who fearlessly face death for good
cause; no life Is so honorable or SO
fruitful as such q death. Unless men
are willing to fight and die for great
ideals, including love of country, ideals
will vanish, and the world will become
one huge sty Of materialism. And un-
less women Of ideals bring forth the
men who are ready thus 10 live and
die, the world Of the future will be-
filled by the spawn Of the unfit. Alone
Of human beings the good and wise
mother stands on plane of equal
honor with the bravest soldier; for
she has gladly gore down to the brink
Of the chasm Of darkness to bring back
the children in whose hands rests the
future Of the years. But the mother,
and far more the father, who finch
from the vital task earn the scorn Wis
tied on the soldier who flinches in
battle. And the nation should by
action mark its attitude alike toward
the fighter in war and toward the
in peace and war. The
vital need Of the nation is that its
men and women Of the future shall be
the sons and daughters Of the soldiers
of the present. Excuse no man from
going to war because he is married;
but put all unmarried men above
fixed age ut the hardest and most
dangerous tasks; and provide amply
for the children Of soldiers, so ms to
give their wives the assurance of

THE GREAT ADVENTURE
BY Theodore Roosevelt from the Met
rOD1litan Magazine. October. 1918

BY Theodore Roosevelt from the Met
ropolitan Magazine, October, 1918
| Only those are fit to live who do no,
fear TO die; and none are fit to die who
have shrunk from the JOY Of life and
the duty of life. Both life and death
are parts Of the same Great Adven-
turc. Never yet was worthy adven-
ture worthily carried through by the
man who put his personal safety first.
Never yet was country worth living
in unless its sons and daughters we're
Of that stern stuff which babe them
die for it at need; and yet never was
country worth dying for unless its
sons and daughters thought Of life not
as something concerned only with sell
fish evanescence Of the individual, but
as link in the great chain Of creation
and causation, 50 that each person is
seen in his true relations as an essen
I'M part of the whole, whose life must
be made to serve the larger and con-
tinuing life Of the whole. Therefore
| it is that the man who is not willing
to die, and the woman who is not will
ing to send her man to die, in a war
for great cause arc not worthy to
live. Therefore it is that the man and
woman who in peace time fear or ig-
more the primary and vital duties and
the high happiness Of family life, who
dare not beget and bear and rear the
life that is TO last when they arc in
their graves, have broken the chain Of
creation and have shown that they
are unfit for companionship with the
souls ready for the Great Adventure.
With all my heart l believe in the
JOY Of living; but those who achieve It
do not seek it as an end in itself, but
as a seized and priced incident Of hard
work well done and Of risk and danger
never wantonly courted but never
shirked when duty commands that
they be faced. And those who have
earned JOY. but are rewarded only with !
sorrow. must learn the stern comfort
dear to great souls, the comfort that
springs from the knowledge taught in
times Of iron that the law of worthy |
living is not fulfilled by pleasure, but
by service, and by sacrifice when only
thereby can service be rendered.
No nation can be great unless its /
sons and daughters have in them the
quality to rise level to the needs OF
heroic days. Yet this heroic quality Is
but the apex Of pyramid Of which
the broad foundations must solidly
rest on the performance Of duties so
ordinary that to impatient minds they
seem commonplace. No army was
ever great unless the soldiers and the
Junior officers have been through
months, and the officers OF higher COM
mand and the general staff through
years. Of hard, weary, intensive train
ing. So likewise the citizenship Of
shy country il worthless unless in a
crisis II shows the spirit Of the two
million Americans who in this mighty
war have eagerly come forward TO
serve under the Banner II Stars,
laoai and ashore. and Of the other /
Millions who would now be beside

Sometime in August a public meeting
was held in Newfane with the view of
interesting the people in child welfare
work. Much enthusiasm for the cause
was shown when the Importance of
starting children on the road to health,
strength and greater usefulness while
quite young was explained by an emf
nent physician of Boston and other
speakers, one of whom had made a
superficial examination of the school
children in our town and found over 20
per cent defective in sight, hearing or
breathing or in the condition of the
throat.
1t was said that these conditions were
common throughout the rural districts of
the nation and that the women of
America are awakening to the need of
remedial work if we are to have a strong
and virile race in the future. 1t was de-
cided to raise a fund and employ a
skilled nurse for inspection of the chill
dren and to provide special treatment
for those in need of it.
Friends of the cause offered to give
a dollar for every dollar raised in our
town and beginning was made at the
meeting. Pledges to S75 were given
since increased to SSS, with 500 in sight
Mrs f. H. Richardson and Mrs. J. w
Williams with Mrs. G. NJ. Love of Soutl
Newfane were appointed to take up thu
work in their respective communities
