The Farmers Streets.

= ARM life is just dependent good roads
/ as city life is dependent street trans
portation. What street to the city, road
vehicles are to the country.
It will make little difference to the cities
whether any State has good roads or not They
will benefit as the whole State benefits, from i'm
proved conditions. OF course. But the roads will
not directly affect them. The farm districts are the
ones tat will receive the benefit from the expen-
diture OF the automobile license fees on the State
roads. The city man already has good roads in his
city streets. He get along without State
road system. But can the farmer afford to put off
getting his roads for a year. will happen if the
legislation is held up by referendum? The Kansas
City Star believes not and agree.
Thesimportance OF good roads to rural schools
is emphasized by the State superintendent of
schools of Missouri. in letter to county superin-
tendents, invoking their help against the proposed
State referendum on the good roads law. Rural
high schools. better elementary schools and COM
munity meetings arc all to considerable extent
dependent on better roads, he points out.

For Mankind.

TN VERA CRUZ many American has fallen.
The cost OF taking the city in the Mexican
war Of 1896 was heavy for those days; more
lives were lost when the navy and Marine Corps
seized he customs house after she refusal to salute
the flag. AS the result of the first blood-spiing.
and subsequent military engagements the United
States gained vast territory; the worth of the
second affair has remained problematical.
But there is nothing doubtful about the benefits
accruing to our nation and the world from the
self-sacrihcng death of DR.. Howard B. Cross, of
the Rockefeller Institute in Vera Cruz last Tuesday
And the contrast in setting about the passing Of
this hero of peace and that accompanying the
deaths of our heroes Of war marks him a man
truly great.
Dr. Cross slipped quietly down to Mexican
district smitten all times of the year with yellow
lever. No knew of his departure his
friends and scientists with whom he associated.
Deliberately subjecting himself to the scourge in
order to study its symptomology and effects he
trscted it and persisted at Vera Cruz, whittier he
was borne.
Banners, bands and uniforms all absent.
He walked into the Valley OF the Shadow alone
and undismayed and laid down his life. There is
pathos and the sense OF nobility in his going out
and here is something 1t is the assurance
sisstic in works of mercy and knowledge that they
hold their lives little bound to move
forward.

THE remarkable commissions OF the German
1 mark which, while it sinks little lower each
month is given to sudden and seemingly inexplc-
able recoveries should not be paid too much aten-
ton by those seeking to diagnose German economic
and fiscal difficulties for the mark is not really the
former empires medium of exchange any longer.
Touching on the question of these disturbing
phenomena, the New Orleans Times Picayune notes
that German paper money has resumed its slump
toward valucessness," adding:
Outsiders have looked askance at the stuff for
some time but it develops that the Teutons
themselves are so losing faith in their own medium
of exchange that their government is finding it dit
hcult to prevent general abandonment OF marks
in transactions within the German republic.
"This fact has been disclosed by what on its
face appeared to be home shortage in numerous
German commodities, particularly textiles. We say
appeared to me, for it easy to discover that
the mills producing in ample quantities, but
when German firm wished to stock such manufac-
lures and offered payment in marks the manufac-
turer would plead lack stock and refuse to
book the order. If however, the buyer offered to
pay in American dollars or Swiss francs the supply
was quickly found sufficient to fill the bill.
"Such discrimination against their own money
cannot fail further to depress the value of German
paper and the eventual result of the process unless
it is checked in some yet undevised way, will be
the scrappng OF the bales of paper marks now ex-
tant and the return of Germany to indirect gold
basis via the medium of the American dollar. A
process akin to the above has been in operation in
of the Central American republics where the
authorities themselves have exacted part payment
of import duties in American money to insure a
stable value in their tax receipts. There also pay
ment in gold'-or American money, which is the
same things common in many transactions even
hatu, 1t, Of Tho mall
THE German government has not yet reached
the point where she will refuse import duties paid
in her own money, but even that will have to be
resorted to eventually if means is not found
to debate the paper and balance income and outgo
at is limited that the German prohteers have
been instrumental in encouraging the fall of the
mark in foreign lands at rate rapid than
its shrinkage at home.
THAT spread has allowed the manufacturer of
the Fatherland to produce through wages paid on
the higher value of the mark while its lower value
abroad made dumping easy While the mark is
slipping the manufacturers using every device
political and otherwise, to slow down home re-
Spouse to the change. Nothing short of a daily
readjustment OF wage scales would at all keep pace
with the shrinking value of the mark and such a
daily regulation has not yet been possible. Also
the mentioned spread in mark value has operated
as freight advantage for the manufacturer at the
expense of the public purse, since freight rates like
wages. have Jagged behind the general rise in
prices"

give way on the submarine question
in order to gain support from
France and Japan on other matters.
Yet / hope no such condition de-
velops, as 1 cannot suppress my de-
sire and wish that the American
delegates will urge the total aboIi-
ton of submarines My objection
does not mean any criticism of that
branch of the service or of the per-
sonnet.
However, when all is said ana
done. the submarine strikes in the
dark and is an assassin on a large
scale, as the results of the world
war show. 1t strikes mainly at
women and children and its ACTIONS
cannot be controlled.
THE fact is the submarine has
not the decency of rattlesnake, as
that reptile does give a warning be-
fore it strikes. There ID no defense
for the submarine as weapon of
warfare
The Senator went on to say ne
can. see why the conference may not
eliminate poison gas. as that is a
by-product of another industry, and
though the nations sign such an
agreement. some of them may break
the pact, since that deadly weapon
could be obtained In a short while
at comparatively small cost On the
other hand, he pointed out that the
submarine is made of delicate ma
chinery, requiring special plants
and long periods of construction, so
IL the present vessels were strapped.
in case of war 1t would require per-
haps two years for an outlaw ma
