Roads al o her Peoples Expense
lFrom the New York sun.l

A Southern publication devoted os-
tensibly TO the good roads movement
Is advocating a system OF 10000 miles
OF national highways, built and for
ever maintained by the national gov
ernment. with a State highway and a
3Of4 counties In all the fOrty-eight
States. The cost Is put at sG,00OOOO,000.
II built In twenty years this would
mean an expenditure OF s3000OO,O00 a
year, or SO tax a year for every man,
woman and child IN the nation.
II points out that New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts.
Rhode Island and Connecticut have only
3 per cent Of the area Of the United
States and possess one-half OF tho ma
tional wealth.
Then II declares that under a ma
tiOnal system OF highways. these nine
States would pay one-half OF the cost
OF building, and forever after main
tainlng ii2500 miles Of national high
ways In the thirty-nne other States"
Therefore, Il declares, the people of

"The twenty-five seats OF the Bour~
geois Democrats insure a strong Left
majority.
"The Right parties so far have won
sixty-two seats and the Left parties
ninety-three.
THE twenty-four Deputies still 10 be
elected in the occupied territory Of the
Palatinate cannot produce a Right
majority.
IF the Peasant League Is counted as
Socialist there are Professionally sew
enty-one Socialists.
This partisan division OF represen-
tatives makes necessary the arrange
ment OF working agreements between
various parties arrived at by compro-
mise and involving reciprocal conces-
sions In the actual conduct OF leeis-
lative business. Such combinations
are, OF course, subject TO frequent re-
adjustment and sometimes are violent
ly disrupted. Their maintenance Ia
one Of the heavy tasks Of the political
leaders.
What has been conspicuous In the
elections held previous to yesterday IN
Germany is the numerical inferiority
OF the advocates OF Boshevism. De-
spite the uproar they have been able
TO make, they have been consistently
outvoted by the less radical forces IN
the country, fact which gives ground
for strong hope that Yesterdays bal
loting may have produced a victory
for the sane, democratic masses Of the
population.

nIIR MncES SALARIES

MO HESITANCY should be manifested by our Legisla-
ture in the matter Of passing the bin increasing the
salaries OF the members OF the Delaware judiciary.
The people favor such legislation.
They know that for many years the Delaware judges,
Auding the Chief Justice and the Chancellor have been
sverworked and underpaid.
They know that the time has when something Of
remedial nature should be done put an end to such
unjust treatment Of highlyimportant State officials
Before the legislative session fully under way we
recommended that the salaries OF the Chief Justice the
Chancellor be placed at $4,000 EACH that the salaries
Of the Associate Judges be placed at $1,000 EACH While
the bin reported favoraby in the Senate does carry
such liberal amounts 1t does provide increases which will
make the situation much better than II is today

g'nia. Wisconsin and Wyoming have
the power TO obtain national highway
and county Dads at half their cost
and maintenance forever.
1t shows that these thlrty-nlne
states of the West, Middle West and
South have a total OF 800 Senators and
Representatives In Congress-a major
lty OF f24 votes and asks:
why not demand that your Sena-
tors and Representatives vote for the
building and maintaining forever by
the national government OF a system
Of 10000 miles OF national highways ?"
This would be ridiculous but for
some OF the evidences OF sectlonallsm
and purbllnd vision displayed by South
ern members Of Congress.
Good roads are a national asset. The
nine States mentioned have built State
and county roads. What II they de-
manded that the rest OF the country
paid half the cost OF their construc-
ton and maintenance There would
be just as much sense and justice in
the one demand as the other.
II the South and the West know the
virtue Of and proflt In good roads,
they should build them and pay for
them.
Good roads pay FOR themselves in
good business. If the South waits
until It can by political chicane assess
a large part Of the cost on the North
lt win stick In the mud for a good

tion progresses, with the aid Of good

The release of information about

work reveals a seeming paradox.
The impossibility OF using the ordi-
nary transmitter in noisy surround r.

the impinging OF extraneous sound

FLIGHT WAITS ON WEATHER.
Navy Promises to Give Warning of
Cross Ocean Attempt.

The navy's plans for a transatlantic
flight got no further yesterday, largely
because the airboat NC-2 suffered a
slight bump on the sands OF Rockaway
two days ago, with tae result that yes
to-day was devoted chiefly 10 making
minor repairs to the hull Of the hydro
airplane which. IL Is fondly hoped, will
be the first heavier than air machine to
jump from America TO Europe
Officers Of the air forces of the Third
Naval District could not say last night
Just when the navy's attempt to fly from
the new world to the old would take
place. The machine must be perfect,
the weather conditions must approach
the ideal-everything must be as near
perfection as the world and the flesh and
the gods will permit before Secretary
Josephus gives the order. Let er ed !"
But soon one of the half dozen airboats
now being tuned up at Rockaway will
rise with a crew OF five or six men
aboard. follow the coast line 10 New
foundland and then jump to Europe.
And the Navy Department crosses its
heart and promises that at least twenty
four hours before the flight Is begun the
American newspapers, and therefore
America, will be told that the great jump
Is to be started.
