WASTING MONEY ON THE
ROADS.

Ever since the building of the APP
plan Way the public money has been
squandered on roads. The greatest
difficulty today is not in the construc-
ton of the roads but in the lack of
plans for their upkeep. Il know
of nothing more shocking than the
millions Of public funds wasted in
improved hihways," said the Presi-
dent in his message, "wasted be-
cause there no policy of mainten-
ance." Since the advent of auto
mobiles road construction has been
revolutionized until it has become a
skilled art for trained engineers, and
the old time "road boss" has be-
come almost extinct. But the
Presidents warning indicates that
we are still long way off from the
right methods. Great sections of
the country-and this includes por-
tions of the District of Columbia
have miles of roads that have hardly
stayed in condition long enough for
the public officials to Okeh the con-
tractors original bills. 1t is princi-
pally against this class of roads that
cannot be kept up because the foun-
dation is not there in the beginning,
that the President protests. A re-
solution in the Senate seeks correc-
tive methods, and these resolutions
charge that Impractical and ex-
travagant projects for road ,construc-
ton have been formulated in the. Sc
veral States which will require hum
dreds of millions of dollars for their
execution. and completion, and that
some of the States have committed
themselves to such extrayagant pro-
jects upon the unauthorized informa-
ion that Federal money would be
forthcoming for completing them"
The resolution seeks the appoint
ment of committee of three of the
Senators to investigate every phase
of the road question and to find out,
among other things, whether or not
propaganda is and has been carried
on osecure great appropriations of
money and whether or not proper
use has been made by the States of
personal property and equipment
transferred to them by the Federal
Government"

POURING OIL ON THE TREATY.

After many years of vehement de-
clarations to the effect that the
United States would notconsent to
being held up by he government of
Colombia for twenty millions Of dol
lars or any other amount because
Roosevelt stole Panama." our own
Senate has adopted conciliatory at
titude, and Senator Lodge, foremost
as "Roosevelt's friend" has explain
ed with great care that the memory
of the ex-President will not be soiled
in the least by the ratification of the
famous treaty. The memory of
Colonel Roosevelt having been sat-
isfactorily protected the balance of
the job that has troubled Washing
ton for so many years seems simple.
The nub of the situation is express
ed in the statement by Senator
Lodge that ratification of the treaty
will improve relations between the
United States and Latin America,
and that the world situation regard
ing oil seems "very strongly to justi-
fly, in fact, to demand, the ratifica-
tion." Reciting the fact that very
large oil fields are on the verge of
development in Venezuela and Col
ombia, he added: american COM
panies have already started in Col
ombia, but they will pass into the
hands Of the powerful British COM
bination if our people cannot at
least understand that they will be
protected against wrong and injus-
tice if they invest in countries other
than their own for the purpose OF
furnishing the United States with oil
and helping commerce"
Of course, there isn't any super
fluffy of idealism in this kind of di-
plomacy, nevertheless it is of the
kind that reflects credit to New Eng
lands reputation for practical rea-
soning." Diplomacy evidently has
pulled on its neutrality-suspicious. and
proposes to explore the oil fields not
alone of Mexico and Colombia, but
it will likely investigate other gush.

STUNTS IN DEMOCRACY.

President Harding parallel the per-
Torrance of his predecessor in de-
claring 'the open door" at the White
House, but in good deal less than
a month he reached a substantial
agreement with the conclusions of
Mr.. Wilson eight years ago, that cit
can the DONE" 1t is a fine demo-
cratic spirit that prompts the desire
Of the Chief Executive to "see every
body" But the tragedy Of the
situation is that as soon as that fact
becomes known Mr.. Everybody shows
up entirely willing TO fritter away
the time of the President. Then
follows the day when the Presidents
physician and private secretary
and maybe, his wife, assert them
selves. 1t is well that tire are
such persons to protect our Presi-
dents from those thousands of people
who are themselves so selfish and in
considerable as to make it absolutely
essential to close "the open door,"
Vice President Coolidge sits in at
Cabinet meetings "iust like one of
them" The Presidents idea is that
this stunt in democracy brings the
Senate and the Executive in closer
touch. OF course Mr.. Coolidge likes
ibis kind of thing, because he is a
lonesome sort, but possessed with a
fine ambition to be useful-and
doubtless the innovation helps him
in attaining that desire.
Senator Mclean has introduced
the Guadrennial bill 20 give the heads
OF the executive departments the
privilege of the floor of both houses
OF Congress and the right to parti-
cipate in debate, as is now done UNI
der the English system. 1t is a
popular theory that the Cabinet
officers would get closer to repre-
sentative government if they were
permitted to make speeches and an
swer questions on the floor of the
House and in the Senate. Senator
McLean's billwill eventually find its
resting place with its pigeonholed
predecessors that have gained . line

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By J. E. jones'
TWO PRESIDENTS TALK ON
THE TELEPHONE.

THE TELEPHONE
From Catalina Island in the Paci-
fic by radio to mainland and across
the United States by wire, thence
from Florida coast through an ocean
cable, extending "a full mile below the
surface of the sea, to Havana, Cuba,
q total distance of $500 miles, is the
worlds greatest record in telephone
conversation. In the g4eat Pan
American building in Washington
the President Of the United States,
surrounded by members of his Cab
met and the diplomatic crops, car
ried on a conversation with the
President Of Cuba and the Cuban
officials. The Cuban Minister in
Washington talked with the Ameri-
can Minister in Havana, and Major
General Crowder, in Havana, kid
ded" General Pershing in Washing
ton. All active newspaper men in
Washington were present and each
was supplied with telephone re-
ceiver, through which, following a
signal by Colonel Carly, vice-presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the entire line
was connected up sectionally; first
by calling Richmond Va, then
Selma, N. C. Next came Denmark,
c., followed by Jacksonville, West
Palm Beach, Key West, and Havana,
Cuba. Communication was then es-
tablished with Philadelphia, New
York, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Bea-
yer Dam, Ohio; Chicago, Davenport,
Omaha, North Platte, Denver, Raw
lings, Salt Lake City, Winnemucca,
Nevada, Sacramento, San Francisco.
Los Angeles, and Catalina. It was
all done in few minutes and Colonel
Carly, the greatest living originator
of methods Of wire communication,
demonstrated TO the guest, the en-
tire practicability of telephone COM
munication over land and sea and
under the sea, and even without the
aid of connecting wires, covering a
distance equal to one-ifth the cir
conference of the world. II want
you, President Menocal, and the
Government and the people of Cuba,
said President Harding, in talking by
telephone to the President of Cuba
''to know how gratifying it is to
participate with you in this ceremony
which signifies so much in the es.
Enlistment of more intimate an6
understanding relations between
Cuba and the United States"
On this momentous occasion Col.
onel Carly, under whose direction
wireless telephone communication
was carried on from Washington to
our wards in the far-off Pacific, anc
to the Eiffel tower in Paris; and who
was the master mind in first opening
direct lines of communication by
telephone across the American con.
tinent, gave notice to the world that
the use of the telephone would next
be signalized between the United
States and Central and South Ameri-
can. Need the chronicler of this
story add, that the President of the
United States and all of us lesser
figures stood awed at the stupendous
achievements in wireless wonder.

wizard Carly?
