S a means OF Curtalllng uon-eSsehCA0 A
~ industries in the hope of diverting
labor to the farm, Daniel Willard
nresident of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, is credited with suggesting to Secre-
tarv of War Baker the ACCESSIBILITY OIL 6us-
nending the construction Of public highways
It is hard to believe that Mr.. Willard means
to classify road construction as among non
essential industries; yet if he is correctly
renorted. no other conclusion is possible 1t
would be almost, if not quite as approprl-
ate to suggest the suspension OF railroad
work of all kinds to urge the suspension
of highway construction, or even its curtall-
ment.
The inheritance and advantages Of good
roads are so obvious and SO generally ap-
preciated that it is superfiuous to o"el
mon them Every intelligent person KNOWS
that the farmers require improved highways
to get the products OF their farms 10 Ihe
Cities and everyone realizes that without
this aid the transportation system OF the
country would collapse Improved highways
are the rails and roadbed of vehicles other
than railway cars and engines. Without
them these modern and highly useful agen-
cies of transportation would be rendered
practically worthless.
"Those who kept in touch with the re-
markable services OF this nature during the
war period and the days OF railroad conges-
tion and the recent railroad strike, all real
ize that highway transportation proved IT,
self a. most helpful auxiliary to the railroads,
remarks the Manufacturers Record, OF Bal
timore in discussing Mr.. Wizards reported
suggestion to Secretary Baker. Furthermore,
with the farmers being urged to increase
production it is obvious that better high
ways will be required for the movement OF
his products to the markets, and Tor tnls
reason alone it is vitality important that road
building should not in the least be inter-
fered with, but should, on the other hand,
be stimulated to the greatest possible de-
gree as one of the most essential undertake
ings in the country"
The railroads, as every one knows, are
wholly incapable Of meeting present day
traffic needs. They cannot perform nor be
expected to perform the impossible. The
country is confronted by a transportation
crisis that is becoming more evident every
day. The country must turn more and more
largely to highways and waterways in the
years ahead. Instead Of curtailing road
work throughout the country, every possible
facility should be used to aid and speed up
highway construction and river improve
ment.
Road building has been developed to
scientific basis in this country. The day is
gone when only common labor, such as is
adaptable to the farm, is used in highway
construction. Skilled labor, for the most
part, is required to build the permanent
roads that gaining favor in the United
States, and if Mr.. Wizards reported sugges
ton were adopted we seriously doubt whether
it would accomplish the end for which it is
urged. Relatively few of the men engaged
in bodybuilding would return to the farm.

and undertaking of the human element.
The Germans" wrote keen observer years
ago, 'know more about psychology than any
other people on earth, and less about human
uature."
Was it not this same hard Journalism, this
exalting of the letter to the impOverishing of
the spirit, that marked Prussianism through
and through, making even it's military talent
of an inferior order? From Won Moltke to
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, German gener-
ais, with few exceptions, trusted implicitly
to plans and hardly at all to inspirations.
Not one of them true to his type could have

Efficient thinking. it has been said, depends

Is not the decline of science in GERMANY
to be set down more truly an effect of that
general disappointment and depression which
followed the collapse of the nations puffed-
up materialstic efficiency? German science
unhappIly, was so behOlden to German i'm
perlalism that when the latter lost it's feet

its own sake is admirable; serving for hu-
man freedom and progress, it is more ad-
mlrable still; but shaving for an oppressive
and evil order, it sinks to a mere black
art, destined to lose at last the wav that is

great evangels and explorers is no more
materialistic, in the darkening or deadening
sense OF that term, than reason and knowl-

great emancipation of the human spirit. Co.

German science has lost for the nonce it's
lance and plume largely because it essayed
to be GERMAN science, rather than simply
science. lettering itself to chauvanism to
pride and prejudice and greed, to a theory
of life as bigoted as false, it inevitably miss

at its best is endowed. Maybe we were over

THE DEAD HAND
BY DIR. Frank Crane

T ont ask others to follow me, but l wish
to state some radical conclusions which rea-
son and experience have brought me. AS you
think and think Of things, sometimes you see
bottom, you feel that you have found ulti-
mate rock. One of these bottom and rock
truths that for the last few years has been
steadily rising from obscurity and taking
form and substance in my mind is this, al
lowing, of course, certain per cent Of error
alloy to be found in every generalization:
'That all endowment, except that of the state
itself, is wrong"
There may, as I say, be error~in this state
ment, but so far as | have been able UP to
the present time to follow the theory into
it's particular bearings have found no place
where it breaks down.
Of course, we exclude any consideration as
to whether or not it is practical to abolish
endowments, for no reasoning be honest
that is tainted with any consideration of use
must as konly one question: What is true?
1t is only when we do that we ask: What is
possible?
Pure reason, therefore (and that always
means in the end the firmest justice and the
kindest humanity, it seems to me, strikes
right at the root of the question, and de-
mands that no man have the right to control
money or property of any kind after he is
dead.
This would abolish, first inheritance.
All your economics, your capital and labor
wrangles and your other efforts to bring
about any semblance of justice among men,
are mere scratchings on the surface The
central, fundamental and root of injustice is
or one child to be born into the world to
privilege of any money kind The only an
sWer to this that seems of weight is that it
will take away the motive of energy from
men, because now men work for their chill
dren.
To which the reply is, that to work so that
ones children have an unearned (by them
5elves) advantage over other children is an
unsound and unrighteous motive. 1t is a
variation of personal egoism. 1t is anti-al-
truistic, hence immoral The very basis of
any true state is that each child born shall
have an equal chance with every other child.
1t may be visionary and millennial and all
that, but it's true, and it makes no differ
ence to truth whether it is used now or in
million years from now; it remains true
all the time.
Americans think old .world hereditary cas-
! tles kingships and nobilities are cruel and
wicked; they think Alright; they don't half
realize how rightly they do think till they
| go to the Old World and see; but Americans
have only half removed the curse as long
| as they legalize the worst and most potent
| form of Irrational privilege, the control of
money by the dead hand.
