ed up much nearer completion
through convention held recently
at Lawton, Oklahoma. In spite OF
the strike almost two thousand del
egates spent two days in organic
ing and in working out construc-
ton program to close all the gaps
of this great highway across Okla
homa and Texas. Five brass bands,
one of sixty pieces, enlivened pro-
ceedings. Natioual leaders joined
state and county officials in arrang-
ing the working plan to push con-
struction until this road, building
like railroad grade, is completed.
Following the convention, DR., S.
NJ. Johnson, the General Director
OF Lee Highway Association, made
a remarkable road record, sleeping
in Vernon, Texas, one night and
Roswell, New Mexico, a distance oi
400 miles, the next, stopping six
hours for conferences en- route and
proving that this is not a 'propos-
ed' road, but a reality, ready fol

was necessary to shift gears only
once and that was on a hill where
the new road had not been com

the necessity for speed.

Seek TO Finish Lee
Highway by 1928.

Washington, D. c., August To-
Completion OF Lee Highway from
Washington to the Pacific coast by
Christmas, 1923, is not only a hope
but a probability, according to s. Nj
Johnson, Director of the Lee High
way Association. He delivered this
message at a road meeting held al
Merri6eld, Va, and a. which inf.
tial steps were taken for 1915 600
bond issue for building an 1S-foot
concrets road from Falls Church to
Fairfax, distance of eight miles,
now one of the worst pieces of road
ION the entire Lee Highway route.
DR.. Johnson recently returned
from trip to the Pacific coast,
during which he was in conference
with the governors and road officials
Of all the fifteen states through
which Lee Highway passes.
A modern hard surface roadway
has been completed, is building OF
the money for its building has been
provided all the way from the Pa
cific Ocean to the Mississippi River.
Mississippi and Alabama now are
arranging to raise money to build
Il completed sections Of the road
through those states.
Tennessee will vote a big bond
issue this fall, assuring completion
of the road from the Alabama line
to the Virginia line at Bristol, from
Bristol to where the road crosses
the south fork of the Shenandoah
the road now is completed, except
for a.few short gaps, and the raising
OF the money to build these now is
underway. This brings the Lee
Highway complete or with assur.
ances OF completion next year to
within 100 miles of the national
capitol. Every effort now is being
centered on assuring completion OF
this 100 miles next year. This will
give a perfect motor roadway from
New York to San Diego. California,
and will be the first completed con-
tinental highway.

WHAT IS 4 LIVING WAGE!

We hear much tax OF A living wase. hui We have y; to hear what q living
wage really Is Tho Labor Board calls it an abstractcu, Il phrase, and II is right
It is a phrase calculated by labor to attract 4 sympathetic interest IN the cause
o labor and n abovs demands for iShe. wages
The living wase idea may be all rEht n theory. bat a a practical proposition
It is al absurdty. Samuel Gompers could see this il his zeal and Impu&ivc"ess
had not duuned his VISION and common sense.

But we have Mr.. Gompers. the cigar maker. az an orator. a great labor leader

in a living wage between tho cgarmaEer-orator nj the simple cigar maker?
Just because he is N orator a labor leader or a politician. does his living wage
automatically increase: And way: They are still ciSar makers. are hey no!
AS a matter II pure common sens" how can the Labor Board or say other

be no difference shown between te efficient and te inefficient the experienced
n the Inexperienced The living wage would have to be made general and in

THE RUSSIAN ROUBLE

The recent elections in England re-
suited in a marked victory for the Con-
s~ervatlve party. Considering the trend

great part IN the results OF an election.
The Conservatives W. their victory
primarily to the Russian rouhle incident
OF the campaign.
Tho Conservative orators had pur-
chased huge quantities OF Russian paper
rouoIes These they threw into tho
crowds by double handouts. While the
people scrambled for them. the orators
called attention to the fact that under
stable government. cGar!stio as Il was,
those roubles were worth over two
shillings Approximately fifty cents)
each. while under the soc!aItstic re-
glme OF Lenine and Trotsky they haa
deprecated until II vas impossible to
set a value 10 them. This. they AID
would be the fate OF the British pound
sterling II the teachings OF the Russian
socialists should be accepted by a major
ity OF the British voters and put into
practice.
The Russian rouble campaign was d
very shrswd political move and there is
no wonder It meant defeat for tho Labor
party. II had tho beauty Of being orig
inal. appealing and truthful. Such a
