representing the majority or by 'independ-
ents" which stand for nothing but expediency.
In many Of the large cities Of the north
large combinations OF capital have progress
sively bought out and changed the politics Of
the Democratic newspapers till the party now
in power has been left in some cases entirely
without means of getting fair hearing. espe-
cially in matters where its policies do not meet
the approval OF those controlling large aggre-
cations OF capital. In times like these when
questions of vast import are crowding each
other for a settlement a one-sided press is a
serious obstacle to real progress, for no ques-
ton is really decided till it is decided right
and it cannot be decided right by considering
only one side.
And so the passing Of the Freeport Bulle-
tin will cause genuine regret among broad
minded people, regardless OF political afHlia-
tons.

Lansing's Answer.

The treaty should be ratified without de-
lay and without change. There is nothing in
it which invades the sovereignty of this re-
public or which limits in any way the fun
exercise of such sovereignty"
In these words Secretary of State Lansing
Saturday made his only reply to the Bullitt
charge that he said at Paris J1e believed that
the American people would reject the treaty
if they knew what it contained. Mr.. Lansing
evidently does not intend to dignity the Bullitt
story with specific denial, much to the dis
appointment, no doubt of those who are doing
their best to nullify the results of the Yer
sailles conference

Good Roads Not Everywhere a
Myth.

Senator Morris sheppard of Texas has a
bill before congress to appropriate $40O,OO0,000
to carry out the federal good roads act and to
be expended from 1921 to 1924. From all indi-
cations it will be passed.
Few people now oppose highway improve
ment, though there are differences of opinion
as to materials, methods Of construction and
outlay that is justifable to obtain them. There
has been a great change of sentiment in the
last few years.
In western Illinois where mud is sticky and
deep and hard surfaced country roads few and
far between we are accustomed to thinking of
permanent roads mainly as something that
people talk about and desire, but are not yet
privileged to use to any great extent. A re-
view of what has been and is being accom-
plished in the United States by federal aid
alone may be OF interest
The distance across the United States from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is approximately
$500 miles. In three years, with the federal
government putting up practically dollar for
dollar with the states, 1909 miles of good
roadway have been constructed or projects
have been approved and will be carried out
prior to 1921 in every commonwealth in this
nation Or, by way of comparison, enough
roadway to span the nation between oceans
four times with something left over for a
detour into Canada.
The first chapter in the successful story
of good roads construction was written in 1912
when congress voted an appropriation of $780,,
900 for experimental purposes. This was ex
pended in demonstrations and successful
were they that in 1916 little effort was re-
qured to get a bill through congress for an
appropriation of $3.50 900. to be expended in
i've years together with $1,000 900 a year for
roads in rational parks and forest reserves.
This sum was augmented this year, how
ever, by a supplemental appropriation Of $780,
600 900 for the states and So 900 00G annually
for the parks and forests carrying the work
to 1921. This was a grand total Of $275,o0o.-
600 for the general work and $40 100000 for the
forests.
But this appropriation has not been entirely
expended, even paper, contrary to public
opinion of the methods used in expanding gov
ermental appropriations. Up to Aug. 81, 1919
the 1909 miles of road planned, under way
or actually constructed. had cost but sra
07S 1888 Of which the federal government had
contributed s7G,715,743. Although the plan was
10 have the federal government contribute dol
lar for dollar with the states, this is not al
ways done as the United States cannot expend
more than $4,000 mile. In many cases states
have desired road improvement in particularly
unfavorable localities, and in these instances
the states have gladly paid the excess costs of
ancy in the figures cited.

and though the price OF besf was
low, twas hard to find the penny.
When to g jitney scared the beef
I fed on homegrown chickens. and

seemed q most outrageous price

When two bits was the price Of

other for a year and when I met
her she treated me fine, but when
she saw her son pay attention 20
me her treatment turned and I re-

In his letter he wrote as he al
ways did. Then he waited two
weeks before answering one OF my
letters, and thinking something
wrong. I wrote again, but I heard
from him before he got my sec
ond letter. He never answered my
second letter. He apOlogiZed for
not answering sooner and prom
Used to write sooner afterward.
answered the letter and it has been
over month and l haven't re-
ceived an answer from my last
letter.
He spoke TO me and wrote to me
about getting married. l can't help
but think there is something
wrong. Do you think he means
what he said2 / can forget and
never think of him. but his morals
are so high | feel as if am losing
very dear friendship which
would love to keep.
Do you think should write
again and ask for an explanation ?
DOUBTFUL.
No. / would not write to the boy
again. if I we're you. He may an

believe he will His mother must
have convinced him that II is bet
