Unless there is very material increase in
subscriptions to the Victory Loan, St. Mary
will find herself in very unenviable position
when the campaign closes. That the general
sentiment throughout the country, and especial
Iy in this State, is that this loan is a debt of
honor that must be paid is amply evidenced by
the fact that seversI unties h. re alread raised
their allotments. There can be no excuse for
failure to pay the war bill that the government
contracted with our full sanction and approval.
We greeted with enthusiasm the stupendous ap-
propriations to prosecute the war and end it
quickly that our sons might be spared years of
murderous battle. We We'd with each other in
endorsing the expenditure Of huge sums for their
care, comfort and safety Shall we default now
when we are asked merely to lend our money
at an exceptionally good rate Of interest that the
obligations Of the nation may be promptly

Saturday when the Missouri Su

writ of prohibition asainst Circuit
Judge John Gilpin Slate of the Cole
County Circuit Court and disquali.
fed him from sitting in the case of
the State against John W. Scott,
former Commissioner of the Per.

is charged, with the larceny and EN-.
bezzlement of State coal.
The writ was granted On the ap.
plication Of Attorney General Frank

Slate was prejudiced against the
State and could not give it a fair
trial.
In an opinion written by Judge
C. B. Farris, the court upheld Meal
listers charge against Slate and de-
clared the Circuit Judge should be
disqualified.
The opinion was concurred in BY
ell the Judges. except by Judges
Graves, Williams and Woodson, who
did not sit in the case.

as the man who has yet to see a
city skysCrayer, should be q booster
for better roads. Highways are
used in transporting practically
every article of food at some stage
in its journey to the consumers
table. Bad roads add to the cost of
transportation. but good roads cut
marketing costs.
From the time when farm pro.
ducts were first hauled in wagons
TO markets there has been an in
terest in better roads as a means of
reducing the cost of transportation.
but improved highways mean more
now because of the extensive use
of motor trucks in hauling products
from the farm to the railroad station
or direct to the city markets. Trucks
are not only replacing horse trans
portatiOn but in many cases they
are supplementing and even doing
the work Of railroads. In fact, mo-
tor trucks offer a solution of modern
transportation problems. but roads
built only for horse-drawD vehicles
or light automobiles will break
down under heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance of thousands. of miles
of roads so that the enormous Gov
eminent ard commercial truck
treffic of the past two years could
move has taxed the abilities and
called forth every energy and plan
on the part of highway officials. In
many States officials found them.
selves without sufficient funds to
handle properly the repaiss-and re-
building work necessary. Nearly
all Of them had to struggle under
the handicap of an insufficient la.
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost of labor and material.
Only a few States were unaffect
cd by the restrictions on the supply
and transportation of materials
which had to be brought from dis
tance. None escaped the difficult
ties which followed the great and
rapid increase in traffic at this
country's entrance into the war.
From New England to the Pacific
Coast new demands were made up
on the highways, and unusual con-
ditions developed everywhere in
maintenance and construction. ID
several States high type roads, which
had originally been constructed with.
out sufficient foundation to meet
the new demands, had to be rebuilt,
and part of this construction work
was carried on while the heavy
lIt luC "dS hSpt nONlDS.
The extensive use oil motor trucks
for transportation during wer time
has emphasized the possibilities OF
wellbuilt roads as a means Of
marketing faIm and other products.
Solving road problems when there
was a constant procession of heavy
loaded trucks travelling over them
has been a great lessen to road of.
ficials, which will be put to coed
use in peace times.
The Federal aid road. building
pTogrs N for this year is the most
stupendous in the history of the
world. The expenditures for road
constIut ton for the year are likely
to reach $5O0,OO0,OOO. Plans have
been mede for the construction OF
continuous highway systems, the
States through which the highways
are to pass cooperating with each
other as never before. Improved
roads will not terminate at State
lines. but will run from one large
marketing center to another.
