The Time Is Now

There is thing that would result from an Interruption of the road building program which some of the opponents of the bonds have not con- sidered. We will suppose. that the bonds should fail; that the would proceed with the funds already available which will be available when the bond purchasing syndicate pays the s3OOo0oo it yet owes.
 When all that money has been spent less than half of the program will be finished-about 125 miles Then We would have to vote the bonds now asked for It might not be nice but 1t would be quite human natural for those living in the parts of the program already completed to be indifferent not hostile to further road building operations. Taxpayers who will vote for the bonds Friday would not have the same incentive vote for them after their own roads have been finished
 The best time for us to make sure that we will have money the program is to get it while we're all in the same boat

The Movie Business

There has been too much il-advised interfer- ence with the moving picture business and not enough weIl-advised interference We have had boards of censors composed of private persons of narrow views who have secured for themselves some sort of public recognition and who by their impOr- .rritv have been granted a certain authority to rass nlctures which were entertaining and harm tess for the. reason that they did not come to bigets view of morality
 On the other hand there are in other localities ,ctures presented which should not be screened be- fore young and impressonable persons Within the last few weeks S half dozen boys taken in various

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-The Tribune has an improbable story from Washington which says that notwithstanding the cordiality with which Grant entered in- to the late presidential campaign, he cherishes and does not hesitate to ex- press very bitter feelings toward some of the leaders for the kind of warfare they made on him in the Chicago con- vention. During his late visit in Chi cago he had occasion to let Senator Blaine understand he regarded his con- duct at the convention with referenc to his attack upon the administration as so far transgressing proper bounds as to put an end to all personal inter- course. This he did by declining to see the senator when the latter sent in his card. When General Grant a few days afterward was received by con- gress.

CHINESE EGGS

The steamer Tuscan Star arrives in New York with a cargo of 1ss,o0o.OOO eggs from Hankow, China
 But housewives in danger of having these eggs passed off them the product of American hens Chinese eggs broken before being ported. They then frozen into solid mass, sometimes scrambled. often with the yolks and whites separate
 It would drive a retail dealer mad to explain and argue enough to sell such a product to the canny woman with market basket, the Chinese eggs go to bakeries and similar trades
 Family lamp philosophers will wonder why the Chinese do not export their eggs without breaking them and enter into keen competition for house. hold patronage. The Chinese exporter explains that eggs in the shell break very easily in shipment and that it would be distressing problem if, say, 13S, 100000 eggs got broken in the hold of a pacific freghter.
 But that is just the Chinaman's albi. The real reason for shipping eggs in the knock is that Chinese eggs much smaller than those from American fowl and would not appeal to housewives particularly those who often wonder 1t wouldn't be fairer to sell eggs by weight.

\ crowd of us were sitting around a restaurant table in Dublin. It was on q Friday and as we had a Catholic priest with us we all ordered fish.
 Just before we were served another waiter brought a huge, juicy porter house steak to a man at the next table. We all sniffed its delightful aroma, as we were hungry, and one of our party sighed audibly.
 Father he said. turning to the priest, "t's a darn shame that we can't have steak todayi"
