WHEN THE JOURNEY is ENDED.
whithersoever I wander.
However far I may roam.
Some day when the journey is
ended
I'm going homo.
The road led up from the d%ooryard,
And the hill crest bade me re-
tempted me forth to the mystery
OF things in the valley beyond.
I answered and found life waiting.
I tasted and found life sweet:
But ever before me, there beckons
The way to my wandering feet
Life seems now q journey unend-
The. hi crests, bid me press on.
And the lure that lies in the valleys
Enthrallingly holds me in pawn.
Still. though. wherever 1 wander,
However far l may roam,
Some day when the journey is
I'm going home.

SHIP BOARD CRIPPLED
BY LOSS OF MEMBERS
Only Two of Seven Commissioners
Authorized by Law Have
Been Appointed.

the seven commissioners who are au-
thorized by law to constitute that or
ganization. 1t is hoped that some ap-
pointments will be made before the
new fiscal year starts. on July l.
The Shipping Board has been COM
posed of five members, but a new act
approved on the day Congress ad-
journed. increased the membership to
seven. There were already three va
makes five new members to be given
recess appointments by the President
The board is getting along as best
it can with only two members. but
this puts extra work on the chairman
Rear Admiral William S. Benson, and
Comm Missioner John A. Donald. When
the board has a full mem bership the
Administrative work is divided UP
among the members, SO that each has
. certain Jurisdiction. Various phases
of the Shipping Boards activities are
thus referred to one or another COM
missioner and then brought to the at
tention of the chairman for final ac-
tion.
AS the board is now working all
these matters have to go directly to
the chairman.
When the five new members are ap-
pointed it will mean a new distribu-
tion OF the work among the seven
members. Ohicials of the board say
that there is to be no reorganization
under the new act. but that the work
will be redistributed as fast as the
new members come in.

ROAD BUILDING COST.
Increase Expected on Account of
Sand and Gravel Freight.

An increase of $1,000 per mile in the
cost of road building is predicted by
members of the advisory council of
Sand and Gravel Producers, holding
a convention in Washington. as the
result of proposed increases in
freight rates on sand and gravel.
During their stay in Washington
these producers appeared before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
protest against the advances asked
for by the railroads. Ninety per cent of
the sand and gravel transported over
the roads is produced within seventy
five miles of the point where it is to
be used. On this basis. it is contended
by the council, today's freight rates
are approximately double those in ef-
feet in 1915. A 25-cent increase
in the transportation charge on
ton of gravel, road experts state,
means $1,000 per mile added to the
cost of building 1t.
An advance in freight rates at this
time. they say. will materially reduce
the contemplated construction of
roads.
Added to thesetroubles is the open
top car shortage. The producers told
the Interstate Commerce Commission
during their hearing that they are
being Disseminated against is ia
vor of the coal industry. and pro-
duced facts and figures to back up
their contentious. Construction work
represents a. per cent of the coun-
try's business. Sand and gravel are
two of the most important basic
materials used in the construction
both of roads and of dwellings.

There are no antagonisms. No objec-

a democrat. The public is in no mood
to vote for or elect any man merely
because he is candidate of any GER

politicians period. A man to win this
election must face the rising and not
the setting sun. He must stand not
