THE SPECIAL SESSION.

HE special session of the legislature came to an
4 end last night 1t cost 4,04O Of the taxpayers
money and no one knows how much it cost the senators
and delegates who were compelled to drop their per-
sonal affairs and hurry to Charleston.
And about the only thing that was accomplished
that could not have been provided for very easily by
ARRANGEMENT between the county courts and the regis
ars was an increase in the pay of election Officers
which means more expense to the taxpayers.
However the doubts of hair splitting lawyers and

worth all that it cost If the incident teaches the public
topaz less attention in the future 10 gentry of that kid

Park-to.Park Highway.

Denver, Colo.-The longest auto
scenic highway in the world, traversing
nine western states for a distance of
1850 miles and connecting eleve ma
tional parks, is now being laid out by
A. L. Westgard, scout for the American
Automobile Association. This highway,
which is made up primarily of parts Of
transcontinental roads running east
and west, will be dedicated by officials
of the National Park Service, including
Stephen L. Mather, and the National
Park t Park Highway Association, in
a tour starting from Denver on Aug
ust %. The party will be gone about
sixty days. On returning to Denver ar
rangements will be made for holding a
convention to get all of the western
states interested in the National Park
to-Park Highway Association, which Is
f%urthering the movement initiated by
the National Park Service. The path
finders trip is to outline connecting
links between the transcontinental
highways, creating a system the per-
manent improvement of which through
a hard-surfaced boulevard will be
asked of Congress. Tourist auto trav-
ell will be stimulated when it is known
that such a highway connects Rocky
Mountain, Yellowstone. Mount Rainier,
Yosemite, Grand Canon and Mesa
Verde national parks. The Park-to-
Park Highway passes through Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho. Wash
ington,. Oregon, California, Arizona
and New Mexico, and will eventually
link up Zion National Park in Utah.

THOSE who have the welfare OF the
IL human race at heart realize tina
the most promising field for their &C
~tivities lies in child-welfare work.
Gradually 1t has dawned upon h con-
seriousness of increasing numbers OF
people that the state owes every chiio
Its supervision and has a right to die
tate how any child shall be cared ror'
provided for and educated for the
first sixteen years of Its life. The state
proyides schools and compulsory edu-
cation laws and when the time comes
hat these are carefully enforced a
great step forward will have been
taken.
But the state must 20 farther than

ciations and many women organiZa-
tions have interested themselves in
these affairs of children in certain
localities, but the work is not as uni
versal or as thoroughly organized as
II should be. A plan has been evolved
Tint might have universal application,
and it aims to give every child n
chance 10 make n good citizen.
This plan advocates the establish
ment in every county of this country,
a child-welfare board. This board is
to be made up of public spirited citi-
zens who are willing to serve on 1t
without pay. The board will have un-
der its Jurisdiction every poor and de-
pendent child, and will exercise its
supervision, under compulsory statutes,
with proper appropriations made for
their enforcement. The provision
made by such a board for children is
not a charity any more than a public
school is. The idea is to avoid any
stigma that might attach to a child
who has been n charge of charity and
the object is to start every child on
the right road to good citizenship.
