THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Edward Euerett,
is IT YoURs'
APRIL II. 1874.

A life more crowded with activity
than that Of Edward Everett would
be difficult to conceive. He was born
in Dorchester. Mass, April II, 1924,
and from the time of his graduation
from Haryard-at 11--untn his death
Jan. IS, 1865, he was necessarily in
the public eye. His first bent was to-
ward law. bait on the advice Of Joseph
Rucknaster he studied for the min
istry and was pastor of the Brattle
street Unitarian church of Boston at
20. But tho successful and popular IN
the pulpit ne resigned after about
year to become professor of Greek
literature at Harvard. Five years OF
preparation m Europe preceded hve
years more as professor, during wsich
he became the leading influences at
Hazard. and combined his other
duties with those Of editor OF the
North American Review.
The rest of his life was pArned 30
closely with industry that it - dini-
cult to chronicle 1t. For ten years. be-
ginning with 1925. he was in con-
eress and a. member OF the most inn
portant committees: in 1885 ne became
governor Of Massschusetts. and after
four years was defeated by a single
vote for reelection. This was the
first campaign in which the wet and
dry issue appeared. From 1s41 TO '4s he
was minister to England, after which
he became president of Harvard. In
1882 he became secretary Of state
under Fillmore. and then United
States senator. His health broke down
and he resigned in 1854.
The last ten years Of his life, tho
he held no Official position, were
perhaps the busiest of his career. He
had long held high place as an ora
tor and was in enormous demand all
over the country. During the civil war
he was a powerful and eloquent
supporter of Lincoln and his last and
greatest grafton was delivered at the
Gettysburg celebration where LIN
coins wonderful address somewhat
overshadowed il. He was the author
Of eighty four books.

VINE sA,s rar wAa 10 avlap

A company of American soldiers In
Russia refused to go forward into
battle against the bolsheviki, 80 re-
ports say and were only induced to
fight by, being informed by their ori-
GERS that unless they did fight the
American forces would suffer dis
sstrous defeat. The men argued that
they had been drafted TO fight Ger
many. that the United States is not
and that the holshevist matter was
under debate in America and Europe
alike without any conclusion having
been reached, So far as they were
concerned as units in a United States
army they couldn't understand why
they We're fighting where there was no
war. However. when II was explained
that the safety of the American force
depended upon them the men went
forward into the fight,
1t is said that the officers hold very
much the same view of conditions as
that voiced by the men.
When the American soldier lags or
refuses to follow his officers into a
tight something il seriously wrong.
Tradition argues that it is not the
soldier who is essentially wrong. We
have had an exhibition OF the Amer
lean soldier at war and those men in
Russia are OF the same piece of cloth
as the men who held Chateau Thierry,
swept on 10 scissors and combed the
forests OF the argonne. They did not
refuse fight because they feared
foe.
The incident Is disquietins. not be-
cause company OF soldiers held back
from fight but for the assurance it
affords that the Americans who
pushed and crowded and fairly fought
one another for a chance at the Hun
are showing sisns of military tnsuo-
ordination while the Tolstoy stuff rs
being spread thick and thin at Paris.
Discomfort that spreads to the army
is a dangerous condition To play with.
And we are assured that the officers
and men think alike on the subject
discussed by the company which half
mutinied while It argued whether they
were to meet an enemy or those with
whom they had no legitimate combat.
Just what the conditions are over
there are not to be known officially,
Washington having decided not to
give out the facts.
The men in Russia and in Germany
and in France understand that the war
we entered is over. That is also the
understanding here at home. We and
they understand that the settlement
of that mighty dispute awaits only the
signing Of peace terms Those terms
might have been imposed at once and
would have been signed quickly by
Germany. The soldiers can not UNDER
stand why they are to be kept under
arms while the disposition of the earth
up to the day of judgment is blue
printed by elf-appointed architects of
destiny. Least OF all do they under
stand why they are fighting Russians
in Arctic SHOWS when we are not at
war with Russia And they are not to
be blamed for not understanding that
which nobody seems to understand
whether in or out of Paris and the
Hotel Crillon.
Think of it: American soldiers re-
fusing fight and Americans at home
denied the facts from official sources.
VINO said the war is over?

ROAD BILL COMPROMISED.

Fear Of another mud roads political
campaign has enabled Pitt and Pierce
of the Iowa Homestead 10 hold up the
good roads majority in the senate and
force an amendment to the good roads
I'LL whoch bars every county board
from proceeding with hard sur
facing of primary roads without first
submitting 10 a referendum vote Of the
people. Whether the term hard sur
facing means only paving or will in
clude gravel also is not yet clear in
the bill and me house must act upon
the senate amendment.
The house oil provided that county
boards could proceed with hard sur
facing or crawling or grading and
draining until estopped by a vote Of
the people ana it. required a petition
signed by 20 per cent of the voters to
call such an election.
This was too much progress for the
mud roads crowd hence they demanded
that no action should De taken until
an election had been held and they
threatened 10 carry their fight into the
next election campaign with all of the
dangers to personal ambitions which
that involved.
II the good roads majority in the
house yields rs much as it did in the
senate the Dill will set ali road sur
facing over ;or another year until
elections can De held in every county
at an expense of q quarter of a mil
lion dollars for the stale but in the
end it may force more bond issues
grams than without the amendment.
The house OH would have enabled
| county boards to feel their way along
by letting contracts for five to ten
miles OF paving at a time and pro-
| ceeding on the pay as-you-go plan
| without bonds and without elections

The road bill now promises to be-
come a law in some form. It concen-
trates the automobile money on pri-
mary roads, which are onethird of
the county roads until they are i'm
proved and federal aid to the extent
of $4,000 in each county during the
| next three years can be obtained only
for primary roads. The remainder OF
the county roais will receive the pro-
ceeds Of a two mill tax on city pro-
perty which is now LEVIED only on

for the primary roads. When paving
