Coed Roads and Prosperity,

Good roads agitation is very
old. julius Caesar was a good
roads fanatic, and some of his
hi yhway are still in use in Eng
land and France.
Today there isn't Il more vital
subject than that of Transports
ton, and the great bulk of food
products and raw materials of in
dustry are at some stage of the
distribution process, hauled over
country roads.
Now that the motortruck is be-
ing utilized to speed up distribu-
button; to link producers a n d
consumers wherever possible -
good roads are of paramount i'm,
portance.
In older countries than ours,
all roads are good roads. They
have to be, to feed the popu
lation from crowded acres.
Bad roads have been accepted
as a matter of course in unset
tied communities, and good road:
have been luxuries.
But the best possible high
ways are now necessary, in ev
. cry part of the United States.
The Federal Government, tn
. State, the County, the township
and every one who eats food an,
wears clothes are vitality concern
: ed in good roads.
Q The question is not Can wei
Z ford to build good roads,"
t 1t is, Can we afford to SUI

The Soldiers Code.

The soldiers of the American
Expeditionary Forces were not
strong for orthodox Christiani-
ty" but they had u natural reli-
gion, according to Dr.. Elmer Y.
Clark, who, in his Social Stud
les Of the War, says:
The welfare workers who had
been preaching and moralizing
to the boys had concerned them
selves with what they had regal-
ded as the cardinal sins: profani-
ty,rgambling, drunkenness and
sexual immortality. But W h i lie
they harped on these things con
stantly they secured little inter.
est Jon the part of the soldiers
themselves. At last cards were
circulated among the multiplied
thousands of the men and they
were asked to designate W h a t
they regarded the tivemostrepul-
sive sins. The answers were illu.
minating. Neither drunkenness
nor gambling nor profaity nor
vice figured in the replies. Head
ing the list was cowardice. Then
came seliishness. And the other
threein order were
hypocricy, disloyalty and mean.
ness.
This is all the more interesting
because the soldiers code thus
set fourth in very similar to the
code ofthe gentleman or man OF
honor" who makes no claim to
religion in the orthodox sense
Like the soldier, this type OF
"gentleman' or "man of honor
scorns cowardic, hypocrisy. dis
loyalty, selfshness and mean
ness, but more or less tolerant OF
profanity, gambling, drunken.
ness and sexual immortality.
To the rejecting mind it is OBJ
vious that hypocrisy and disloy
atty are very interior and seri
Gus evils, and that selfshncss il
proportion to its deep seatednes,
partakes of the same quality
whilecowardice, though extreme
ly offensive anywhere and abomi
nable in war, may at times b'
rooted in bodily intirmity rathe
than in culpable weakness of tn
spirit. Meanness in the sense O
stinginess may also be less cul
pable when tracable to the hat
it's of grinding poverty. Ofcours
it is a mistake to suppose t h a
such evils as hypocrisy, disloyal
ty and seItishness are neglecte
in the true christian code, which
on the contrary, condemns thcl
utterly. Winston Salem Journ;

the average man, as said at the
outset, is so greedy and selfish
and the opportunity is so great,
that to resist the temptation
takes more than the usual cour-
age. But lying is morally as bad
as sstealing if evil results there,

All Men Must Have the Right to Work.
Manufacturers Record.

The New York papers OF last
week told of how one man had
been murdered by a gang of Ia
borers who attacked because he
was at work while they were on
a strike, and from various parts
of the country come reports of
riots and blood shed and the kill
ing of men who have dared to as
sert their right to work, untram.
meled by union labor regulations.
This is a situation that mustbe
faced squarely and fairly, or else
this country is doomed. When
the law does not protect every
man who desires to work, but
permits murderers to go unhung
because as union labor men they
beat and murder those who pre-
fer to work without the collar of
the union around their necks,
this country is headed straight
for destruction. Human liberty
cannot live where men can freely
murder and go unpunished. Civil
ilation cannot exist where men
are not protected in the right to
work; as against the numbering
campaign of any organization of
any kind whatsoever.
Many editors and preachers
freely and justly denouncelynch-
ing, even when it is for the black
est crime on earth, but how ma
ny denounce with equal energy
the crime of numbering and lyn.
ching man merely because he
wishes to work without being a
member of union.
One community lyncheSa fiend,
the vilest on earth, and the pul.
pit and the press ring with the
denunciation of the whole com.
munity and the State itself.
In another community Who'll
ly innocent man is coldly mur
dered by diabolical gang of cut
throats simply because he works
while they strike, and the pulpit
and the press are as silent as the
grave.
Why?
Do they lack the moral cour
age to denounce the criminals il
labor unions who murdermen fol

vice. the Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. c. A, the Salvation Army, and the Jewish Welfare Board, working in cooperation with the Headquar- ters of the Northeastern Department, will provide food and sleeping quar- ters for all these individuals.
 10. As soon as each mans letter Is received at the Headquarters of the Northeastern Department, a reply will be sent him informing him of the fol- lowing:
 (a) Where ands how to get his transportation in case he does not provide 1t himself.
 (b) What date to arrive in Bos- ton.
 (c) The address of the place he is to sleep while in Boston.
 (d) What date he will return home.
 II. When each man receives his reply from the Northeastern Depart ment Headquarters, he should i'm mdiately write a second letter to the Department Adjutant acknowledging receipt of the letter from Headquar- ters and should inform the same headquarters the date and hour of his arrival in Boston and at what rail= road station, wharf, etc. he will ar rive.
 12. An Information Bureau will be established at each railroad station in Boston.
 1S. As the time is short and 1t Is imperative that the authorities know at once how many men to provide beds and food for, every man is re- quested to write the Department Ad jutant at once.
 14. The expense of transporting these men will be great; therefore 1t is absolutely necessary that every discharged man and unwounded man still in the service provide his own transportation. if he can do so.
 Is. At present there is no means of paying the transportation of wounded men still in the service who are not now in New England, dis charged men including wounded not now in New England, and all men still of the 26th Division but not now stationed in New England, who desire to take part in the parade.
 Is. If these men who cannot pay their own transportation will write these headquarters giving the infor- nation asked for, and in addition give the stAte of New Eng land from which they came, or if not from New England the reg Iment with which they served, stating that they cannot pay their own trans portation their letters wilr be Sent to the state from which they came or requesting that state to furnish trans portation to and from Boston and to notify the soldier himself of the ac- tion taken.
 IT. In addition. If there is an auxiliary association of the regiment or battalion. the soldier might write and ask such association if it can fur nish the transportation.

Carl Lindforst of Stratford came to town yesterday to buy a new suit. During the day and before making his purchase he visited several fire water emporiums and imbibed freely. Although he spent most of his money for liquid joy, he still remembered that his trip to the city was for the purpose of purchasing an Easter out fit.
 At o'clock this morning a man was seen to be trying store doors at Wall and Water streets. This sus- ptcious character was arrested and on being searched an open knife was found in his pocket.
 This morning the suspicious man proved to be Lndforst. He states that he had no intention of commit ting crome but was merely making an effort to purchase his suit of clothes regardless of the hour
