CURRENT COMMENT
Floating Against the Wind.

One often sees on a windy day
log steadily floating down stream
against strong wind The wind blows
strongly up stream. the waves strike
against the log with force that seems
sufficient to force it backward. then
they are driven by the wind along up
stream past the log with considerable
velocity. II looks as though the log
was defying force but we know It IS
not. 1t is only guided by the greater
force. Practically seven-e ighths OF the
log is under water and subject to the
force of the water. The wind has
camouflaged the current OF the stream
on the surface until it appears TO the
eye directly opposite TO what II reans
is and TO one ignorant of the course 81
the water the log seems to be actlng
in defiance TO natural laws. But the
force on the greater proportion OF Its
bulk is simply driving 1t on lts course
In these days of political ACTIVITY
public sentiment sometimes resembles
the log floating against the wIn1 down
the stream. There is surface agita-
ton against the trend of pubic sentl-
ment which produces the waves of
thought and words that seem 10 ere
ate a current in the opposite direction
az its real course. These visible waves
break against the bulk OF sentiment,
make a splash and pass on leaving the
course OF sentiment unchanged This
is because public sentiment Is com
posed largely of invisible convictions
of the people which are often the OPP
posite Of surface indications.
The prohibition move is an illustra
ton of this We have the surface agi-
tations of the men with an appetite or
with intoxicating liquors to sell. They
create strong breeze that agltates the
surface of public thought until II
seems as though public sentiment is
against the law and the constitution
70 the eve II presents the greatest
activity and appears to be the strong
est force and one wonders how pu6he
sentiment moves so irreslstblN
against this apparent force. II Is east
" explained. Underneath the surface
there is the personal CONVICTION that
society has the right to protect itseii
against the pauperism. suffering ana
criminal violence that the use Of IN
toxicating liquor produces. On the
surface the man cries for the liberty
10 eat and drink what he pleases but
underneath is the stronger CONVICTION
that no man has the right to drink
himself into beast and trample upon
the rights of everybody else. He has
no right to drink up the food and cloth
ing OF his wife and children TO en-
danger the movements of others on the
public streets and highways or to force
upon his fellow men the burden OF
supporting his family, and this under
living conviction steadily forces the
law and the constitution against the
apparent current of his wishes lher'-
fore. the political party that makes the
stronger appeal TO the more pave .'"l

After-War Coffee.

People old enough to remember the
Civil war are able to recall the fact
that after the close Of that conflict it
was difficult and often impossible to
obtain coffee Various substitutes were
used, such as parched rye, but one that
was commonly utilized in Washington
and many other cities was sweet po-
tatoes. The fatter were first roasted
and allowed TO burn somewhat on the
outside. Then they were mashed in
water and boiled. The water was thus
transformed into coffee, by no means
so unpaatahe as might be imagined
Sugar in those days cost % cents a
pound. But the sweet potato coffee
required no sugar, and so was an eco
nomical drink.

So Considerate.

The traffic was at its height, and
there were the usual piles of passen-
gers baggage on the platform. In
the usual way the porters were bang
ing it about, while the owners mourn
fully looked on. Suddenly the station
master appeared, and, approaching one
of the most vigorous baggage-smash-
ing porters, shouted in stern tones:
Here What do you mean by throw
ing those trunks about like that?"
The passengers pinched themselves
to make sure that they were not
dreaming, but they returned to earth
when the official added:
Cant you see you're making big
dents in the concrete PLATFORM"

ted States. Such is the statement of
the United States department Of la
Dor.
"The growing needs Of the country
demand thPt some such comprehen-
sive highway system be constructed"
says Robert f. Black, Chicago mana
ger of large motortruck concern.
'In the past there has been too great
a lack of foresight on the part of the
road builders. They have lacked vi
sion to fOresee the requirements Of
even five years ahead. A road built
today must be built, not with the idea
of present traffic but that of ten years
in the future.
THE growing need of the Cay is for
transportation. We have simply got to
provide it. We cannot stop it and the
sentiment of the country will not toll
crate any handicap Of our transporta-
ton system.
with each year the railroads are
becoming more and more inadequate.
Motor transportation is growing eco
nomical necessity, a fact that is being
recognized more and more each day as
motortrucks are called upon to handle
traffic that the railroads cannot accom-
mOdate.
Estimates prepared by engineering
authorities show that the United
States could afford to spend $780,
100000 on o hard-surfaced road system
of 10000 miles which would serve d.
rectly and indirectly 81 per cent of
the population of the entire country.
Not only would such a system be an
economic asset that would pay for
itself many times over, but its con-
struction would provide work for
many thousands of people for a num-
Der of years, and in that respect alone
would have great business value to
the country in general.
"War increases business to replace
the great losses of destruction; but
the development of nation in times
of peace provides a more normal and
healthy market for labor and mate
rial that can be made a stabilizer of
business and industrial conditions.
"a well planned national highwu
system is necessity, and as soon u
the nation can complete the plan con-
ditions will force putting 1t into opera
