EASTERN WASHINGTON FARMER
OPPOSES CARLYON ROAD BILL

The Eastern Washington farmers
are fighting the CarlyOn road bill,
which will be presented for vote to
the people in November. The follow
ing arguments against the bill are
from the Washington Farmer:
The republican state convention at
Bellingham refused to indorse the
Carlyon $30.O0O,OOO road bonding
referendum bill. Advocates of this
measure brought the matter UP be-
fore the platform committee and
their spokesman dwelt upon the won
derful benefits of good roads to the
farmers. When he had finished. 9TH
er members of the committee gave
convincing facts and figures which
proved that the Carlyon bill, instead
of providing good roads for the far
mers. would actually interfere with
highway improvement in the rural
districts. They showed that the pro-
psfxa $30,00O,0OO, which will
ap.Sant to $4,000, 900, when inter-
ct is calculated, would be expended
upon only three per cent OF the
states public highways. and that
whole counties and groups of conn
ties would not get mile of the i'm
proved roads to be built under the
Carlyon plan.
The Eastern Washington Highway
association has verified these figures.
1t finds there are 10000 miles of pub
lie highways in the state. There are
1898 miles in the state road system.
but the Carbon referendum plan in
wolves only 1868 miles of the state
road system, or just about 3 per
cent of the total mileage of the
state.
Opponents of the Carlyon plan al
SO drew attention to the fact that
conditions have greatly changed
since that plan was first projected.
The Carlyon bill was initiated as a
soldier employment measure. and all
original arguments were based upon
the plea that it was necessary to pro-
vide employment for our exservice
men. We know now that the soldier
employment theory is not worthy of
consideration in this connection. The
boys have found employment very
generally in more congenial lines,
and there is actually shortage OF
B., sAhmon labor. Road building ma
tNfials are also high priced. and coh-
tractors have become very indepen-
dent.
One of the speakers at Bellingham
said it was doubtful if the amount of
money that will be available from
other sources, entirely aside from
the bonds proposed by the Carlyon
bill, could be judiciously expended
owing to this shortage of labor, ma
terials and contractors. That is true

BACK TO THE FARM

Is the tide beginning TO turn?
Young men in some Of our big
cities are yearning for an oppor-
tunity to get onto the farms, and
the press is advising such a
course .
The wild assininity and pro-
fligate spendthrIftery OF me cues
is palling upon them.
They prefer the freedom and
greater security Of country life,
even if the hours are a little Ion
ger and the work little harder.
They have come to realize that
their earnings in the city are
eaten up IN the profiteering
prices now being charged for
everything they buy, both essen
tials and luxuries.
They see nothing ahead Of
LI1tIu Uul ctdSeloSS ItDollUlOI
of earning it today and spending
il tomorrow.
Having brains, they are begin
min" TO employ them to advantage.
And being but a little cog in
big wheel in the cities, they would
migrate to the country, where
there is room and opportunity
for all
A national campaign for repo-
pulatine the farms Of the coun-
try is one of the prime requisites

bility

LETTING GEORGE DO 1T

In the opinion Of the average
foreign country America is one
vast hive of agricultural indus
try
They seem to think that all
they have to do is to ask and we
will hand over the food.
America has been generous IN
the past in dividing it's food sup
ply with Europe, even when we
had to deny ourselves to do it.
But the war is over and war con-
ditions and necessities no longer
exist.
The American farmer is very
short Of help and crop outlooks
are not of the best, according to
published reports.
Experts predict shortage OF
foodstuffs next winter, with the
possibility Of bread and soup
lines in the cities Of our own conn
try.
1t this should happen Europe
can not expect us to meekly hand
over the food we need to sustain
lie among our own people.
Exporting profiteers would of
course take advantage Of the
situation and send food to FIJI
rope at enormous gains to them
selves. But the public will NOT
have it so. If such is attemnt ed
the roar of protest will be ]ono
and deep and will engulf anv
person who attempts to starve
American women and children

at great profit.

My New Curate. By John ]. Doug
lass. Published by St. Xavier's Col
lege, Louisville, Ky. Price $1.00.
1t is strange that in the past twenty
years since it's first publication no one
has hitherto successfully dramatized
Canon Sheehan's notable work, MY
New Curate." We are all the more
grateful, therefore, that the present
attempt has proved so successful. In
this case the dramatist has selected
those characters that have impressed
themselves most deeply upon the
thousands who enjoyed the original
work. The old-fashioned Father Dan,
the new-fashioned new curate, Father
Letheby, Jem Deadly, Mrs. Darcy,
Pagan and all the rest are there
With an eye to dramatic possibilities
Mr.. Douglas has woven with deft hand
the beautiful love story between Beat
ia and Captain Ormsby. The part
played in the story by Alice Moylan
the blind girl, is we'll portrayed. The
drama, like the book, carries tears
and laughter. We cannot we'll think
of another play so we'll adapted fol

THOMAS CLANCY
MAN WHO BAPTIZED "OLD GLORY

ON DUTY.

Armed with a description of the
gunman who shot Policeman Thomas
G. Clancy to death in a dancehall
brawl, every policeman in Boston was
on the alert last week as the net
closed in on the slayer.
That Thomas Clancy, a policeman,
was shot to death in dancehall does
not convey much to the world. But he
was more than a policeman. He was
"The Clancy" the fighting Irishman
who, with a tiny Stars and Stripes
knotted to his bayonet, swept with the
Canadians up the bullet swept slope
of Vimy Ridge, the first American to
carry Old Glory into battle after this
country declared war.
But the saddest scene in the tragedy
was yet to be enacted. The night of
| the murder a woman and a tiny golden
| haired boy were in mid-Atlantic, bound
for Boston. They are Clancy's wife
and little son, who for the long months
since the soldier-father returned to

QUALIFICATION PLANS FOR

HONOR PRIEST WHO DIED 100
YEARS AGO.

Felix de Andreis, c. NJ, who died
in st. Louis just 100 years ago, may
soon approach qualification at Rome,
if final proceedings in the matter
hich were held last week in St.
Louis, prove satisfactory to Pope Ben
edict XIV and his college of cardinals.
The subject for sainthood was the
first Vicar-general of St. Louis, and
the first superior of the Congregation
of the Mission, or Vincentian Fathers,
who have long been in charge of the
diocesan seminary of St. Louis, as
we'll as the seminaries of many other
dioceses. They were pioneer priests
Father de Andreis lived a life of
self-denial and extreme hardship,
making his headquarters on the very
ground on which the Old Cathedral
now stands. He died in 1920 He
was a native Italian, and was well
known at Rome as scholar and a
priest. Bringing the first band of
Vincentians to this country, he landed
on. American shores in 1916.
Eighteen years ago, at Kenrick
Seminary, the process de fama sane
titatis' was held for Father de An
dreis This was the hearing of wit
resses from the ranks of very aged
people who had seen and known Faith

parents tell of his character and sane
tity

is required, before he can be beati-
fed. 1.-TWO additional miracles would
be required for his full canonization.
