thereby increasing his production
for the market very materially.
The fact that the farm produces
more and the truck line carries it to
the market will afford much more
varied market for the ultimate con-
sumer. The farmer will make
money, the merchant will make
money, the transportation companies
will make money, and the consumer
viii make money in taht he can save
in buying, as there will be a greater
supply, and prices are governed by
supply and demand.
Good roads are to the farmer what
good streets are to those who live in
cities. They mean that he can keen
his children at home and still have
them accessible to the best Of
schools. He can live at home and
( still enjoy all the pleasures Of the
city. They encourage him to give
his best to his farm.
The absolute prosperity Of the
country depends on the building up
Of the "ship by Truck" movement
with good roads.
These roads and motor express
| companies are destined to double
track and maybe four track all Of
tho plcociI idllTOauS ana mean the
building OF many more lines, as they
are feeders and will greatly increase
the business over all railroads.
The "Ship by Truck" and Good
Roads movements are making
steady progress, and the ever grow
ing possibilities Of the motor truck
as a means Of transportation are in
creasing the public cry for more and
better highways.
/ The cities and towns cannot afford
to take all from the country without
any return. Remember the country
can live without cities and towns.

THE AUTOMOBILE DINNER LAW.

Many autOmobilists who otherwise

Because Of this failure by some to

THE DANGERS or THE PRESENT.
We Americans Need to Develop Our
Thinking Powers.
Manufacturers ReCord.)

Manufacturers ReCord.)
The president Of an important col
legc in the South writes the Manu-
facturers' Record: "lt seems to me
we may realize, in the course Of Il
few years, that we have been living
in the neghborhOOd OF Il volcano, a
hurricane and an earthquake"
This is il true statement. a vol
cano, Il hurricane and al earthquake
are with us in potential power for
evil: they may break on us at any
moment. No man can tell when Or
where volcano may burst forth
and cover the world with wreck and
ruin. No man can tell where Il dead
ly hurricane may sweep, carrying be-
fore ii much Of all that we have
thought civilization had achieved.
In letter, in somewhat similar
vein, one Of the most thoughtful
business men in the country refers
to "the terrific internal stresses OF
the world where so few seem to be
aware OF the terrefic currents whose
forces are in opposition throughout
the world and see only the ripples
on the surface"
These two letters indicate how the
really thoughtful men Of the country
who are looking beneath the surface
feel as to the problems OF the hour
The volcano and the hurricane and
tho earthquake are pOtentialiteS Of
evil, and as our other friend writes
there are "terrinc internal stresses"
OF the world which must be met, and
terrific currents whose forces are
sweeping in opposite directions. :"
while the people at large see only
"ripples on the surface" and walk
over the smoldering volcano and
hear not the muttering Of the hnrri-
can nor the rumbling Of the earth
quake.
The situation is well expressed in
Mrs. BrOwning's words:
''Earth's crammed with Heaven,
God;
But only he who sees takes of his
shoes:
The rest sit round it and pluck
blackberries.
The majority Of people seem not
to see that earth is crammed with
Heaven, nor that the burning bush
Is atire with God. They are con-
tent to pluck blackberries and in
this cOntentment is the great danger
OF the hour. It is easier, as one
minister recently wrote us, to make
the American public weep than to
make them think. The duty Of the
hour is to think. and think deeply,
on world problems.

THE NEW POLITICS.

Mary Stewart, executive secretary
LOT the Women's National Republican
Congressional Committee. in Good
Housekeeping: Politics has a bad
reputation. 1t has earned it honestly
or dishonesty. BY what prodigal
waywardness the word has come TO
mean sordid self-seeking crooked pri-
waite and public dealing, graft and
bribery, pork barrel and patronage,
is not our present concern. Acade-
'mically speaking, politics. a word full
of dignity and worth, means "the
science of government AS the prac-
tice of government, it shows signs
Iof new life.
After all politics is only citizenship
in action. If it is bad, then 1t is
because too many bad people are at
it-or too few good ones. The hope
full thing about the new politics Is
that such a lot of good people are
getting busy as citizens who have
never been busy before. Thousands
and tens Of thousands OF women all
lover the country, suddenly and stimuli
'taneously, are alive to their duties
and opportunities as voting citizens.
To be sure, all kinds OF women will
vote and organize and agitate, good,
bad. and Indifferent; and all kinds
will do none of these things; but the
forces for good are augmented enor-
mously. That is the thing that mat
tiers. Common sense and common
Justice, when active, are more potent
than evil, for evil after all is less
sustained in endeavor, less unified In
purpose.
First among the measures for
which women stand is that for ma
ternity and infant welfare. This and
many a similar measure women with
in parties and without have already
endorsed and urged upon the political
poEers-that-be. To get her measures
into political platforms is the first
duty of the new woman voter Aud
the second is like unto ito get can
didates elected who will write them
into the budget. Men and women
alike, who are thinking the new poll
tics, are beginning to see that the
best way to get the things they want
is not to pledge reluctant politicians
to do what they don't want to do by
a threat of defeat the next time-no,
not the time-worn, futile way-but to
elect to office the men and women
who want the things they want.

AMERICA AL WA VS. FIRST

From a speech in the United
Senate by Warren G.. Harding:
The first flaming torch of Ameri-
canism was lighted in framing the
federal constitution in 1887. The
pilgrims signed their simple and
majestic covenant a full century
and a half before, and set aflame
their beacon of liberty on the
coast of Massachusetts,. Other pi-
oneers of new world freedom were
rearing their standards OF liberty
from jamestown to Plymouth for
FIVE generations before Lexington
and Concord heralded new era.
1t was all American in the des-
tined result, yet all of it lacked
the soul of nationality in simple
truth. There was no thought OF
nationality in the revolution for
American independence. The col
onists were resisting wrong. and
freedom was their solace. Once
1t was achieved, nationality was
the only agency suited to its pres
ervation.
AmericanisE really began when
robed in nationality. The Ameri-
can republic began the blazed
trail of representative popular
government. Representative de-
mocracy was proclaimed the safe
agency of highest human free
dom. America headed the for
ward procession OF civil, human
and religious liberty, which ulti-
mately will effect the liberation
of all mankind. The federal con-
stitution is the very base of all
Americanism. the ark of the Co
yenant of American liberty, the
very temple Of equal rights. The
constitution does abide land ever
will so long as the republic sur
wives.
Let US hesitate before we sur
render the nationality which is
the very soul of highest Ameri-
canism. This republic has never
