Motor Truck Is Public Util-
 ity and Welfare of People Depends Upon It

The problem of good roads and motor trucks must be regarded from the standpoint of a public utility, ac- cording to R. E. Fulton, vice preside Tt of the International Motor company, manufacturers of Mack trucks. The problem of production is praa- tically solved, so far as manufactur- ing is concerned The problem that confronts us now is that of distribu- ton. Upon the solution of it hinges our whole political, economic and so- cial structure. Transportation is one of the great essentials to distribu- tion SIS
 With adequate transportation facil- ities food, merchandise, machinery, etc, can be transported quickly and economically to the point where there is a demand for them. Anything that handicaps getting food to the market is barrier which prices must sur mount. Il means still higher cost of living and a loss to everybody. Every one benefits from the service rendered by motor trucks regardless of who op- crates them.
 It is a fact which everyone recos- nizes today that the motor truck Is the only solution of the transportation problem. Everything should be done to render the operation of motor trucks more efficient and economical Good roads are the chief factor. Roads must be built up to the demands of the traffic. The. traffic cannot be held down to existing road conditions

The German Paradox

One of the objects and one of the re- suits of the war was to destroy the discipline and obedience of the enemy. One of the necessities of the peace is the rigorous discipline and ob edience If the economic demands are to be eX- ecuted. The terms laid down at Yer sailles require for their enforcement in Germany an intensity effort similar to, if not greater than, the effort of war. They require loyalty and a sense of personal sacrifice to the government which signs the peace such as few governments can command except in the earlier stages of patriotic war, In the relaxation of peace there is no example to be found of comparable self -effacement. It is, therefore, quite an interesting speculation as to how any government which signs the peace can keep it's population from slipping away, idling, or doing 1istless work. The experiment of forcing a generation of educated people to produce for their fathers enemies has not been tried be- fore; and yet if the experiment fails many poignant expectations will re main unfulfilled

Wealth of Gold in Siberia

An inscrutable dispensation seems to have placed the greatest mineral wealth in those lands least able To de- velop it, says Popular Mechanics magazine. Siberia is a case in point. The eastern half of that vast domain is exceedingly rich in mineral deposiis, which run the gamut from gold. silver and precious stones to graphite and salt In the Ussuri region, north of Vladivostok, gold is found everywhere and only lack of enterprise and facil- ities prevents extensive development. There is, indeed, more or less gold .n practically every Siberian province.

DELAYING THE PEACE

, Republican senators are bent on
voting into the treaty of peace res
ervations that will require its sub
mission to the peace conference. The
treaty killers are at work and the
wonderful prestige and glory of Amer
ica--the hope OF the small nations
of the world-are being dimmed by a
group of senators.
Great Britain ratified the treaty.
France ratified the treaty. Other ma
ions take similar action without
amendment or reservation. Is 1t not
strange that the statesmen of those
nations approve the pact and fail to
to find in II the glaring defects our
own esteeined senators profess, to
have found?
The United States senate majority
continues to play politics with the
peace OF the world. 1t has taken the
senate longer to act on the treaty
than 1t took the peace conference to
gather the information and prepare
It. Yet we were told that Woodrow
Wilson was delaying peace last
spring. And the end Is not yet With
all the nation crying for peace and
with unrest everywhere in the land,
the senate Is stubbornly stalling along
and taking weeks and months to dc
what could be done in q few days OF
weeks ut the most.
Killing reservations may be made
but the fact remains that the blood
of the treaty will be on the hands
of Lodge, Borah. Harding, Johnson
and their followers, and II IL an Ger
tain as, the rising of the morrow's
sun that the rank and fle Of the Re-
publican party will repudiate a lead
ership with n purpose so contempt
ible.

JUsTlcE FOR the MINERS

With the miners acquiescipg in the
united demand of the government and
public, obeying the law and enabling
the mines to resume production, they
can and will obtain fair hearing, and
redress their grievance.
That there are real grievances no
honest and disinterested man familiar
with the coal industry will dispute.
wages of soft coal miners we're never
liberal. and they do not seem to have
been raised in proportion to the rising
cost of living. That cost bears harder
on them then on most other workers.
Their conditions of life and work, too,
are particularly hard, disagreeable
and dangerous. Moreover, they are
subject to long periods of idleness
All these facts should be given due
consideration in arranging their new
agreement.
1t was impossible to deal properly
with these matters while the miners
defied the nation instead of appealing
to IT.. The American people will not
be cOecred, and will not listen to self
constituted dictators. When the min
ers drop their defiant attitude and ap-
peal, as good citizens. to l00000,000
citizens, for square deal,
there is sure to be response. The
operators. whatever their disposit-
ion, will be obliged 10 act justly.
