Road Workers Hurry
Winter Building Jobs.

Road building outfits are moving on
locations in nearly every section OF
the state this week, Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner
having made contracts under tenta-
tive awards previously published in
the winter trunk highway program to
reduce unemployment.
Contractors are pledged to push the
work and the big part of 800 miles OF
gravel surfacing and SO miles OF
grading just let is to be completed by
April / under the contracts, says a
bulletin from the state highway de-
partment. On a team work basis this
work would furnish jobs for more
than 1900 men, according to an I'M
official estimate.
Commissioner Babcock began clos
ing contracts on lowest bids upon re-
turning from the Omaha meeting OF
the American Association of State
Highway Officials, of which he was
elected president. Rechecks of the
many bids on. each job completed IN
the meantime, all efforts were direct
ed toward starting actual work in the
field.
Twin city truck owners protested
that contractors were taking work at
less than cost. Commissioner Bah
cock announced that the work must
be done by the contractors or their
bondsmen at the rate specified in the
successful bids and that he has no
interest in the controversy with the
truck owners. Congratulating the
commissioner upon his success, the
st. Paul Dispatch added: Cali evil
dence points to the fact that Mr..
Babcock has driven a good bargain
in these contracts for the people OF
the state, and that our roads are be-
ing built under the contract system
at minimum of cost to the taxpay-
ers."
State highway officials continue to
speed needed road improvement as
rapidly as funds will permit. Com
missioner Babcock awarded con-
tract for Is miles of concrete pave
ment on the Northfield- Westcott sec
ton of trunk highway No. at about
$25, 900 mile to the Butler Brothers
Building Co., st. Paul. John H. Null
len, deputy commissioner and chief
highway engineer, declared this low
est bid extremely reasonable and on
par with the bargain prices the de-
partment is getting on grading and
crawling work This paving is part
Of the plan under which Minnesota s
longest continuous pavement next
year will measure more than 100
miles. Like jobs on the north end OF
the longest pavement are for %
miles between st. Cloud and Royal
ton now under contract and 10 miles
additional to Little Falls on which
bids are to be opened this week. Both
are county reimbursement bond pro-
jects.
Highway work continues largely OF
grading and gravel surfacing, how
ever, and more jobs Of these classes

bound up with this case was neve,
very obscure. It is, in all ordinary
situations, a thoroughly simple anc
almost selfevident rule Of good man
agement which requires that the chief
organized authority of any organiza-
ton should be also the recognized final
| authority over the organs of that or
ganization. But in this suit a diff
| cult legal question had been raised
and that question was this:
Did the trust instrument drawn by
Mrs Eddy to define the powers respec-
lively of the directors of her church,
and of the trustees of it's publishing
society, set up barrier at law to the
free operation of this simple prin-
ciple?
BY number Of legalistic lines of
reasoning from certain provisions OF
the trust instruments, it might be
made to appear that such a barrier had
been created; and the master who first
heard the evidence in the case so ruled.
But the supreme judicial court held
that these arguments were of minor
weight by contrast to what it found to
be the main declaration of intent con-
tanned in the trust, namely, that it
was "for the purpose Of more effectu-
ally promoting and extending the re-
ligion of Christian Science" Once
this purpose was recognized as the
chief governing intent of the trust,
then no barrier remained to prevent
the operation of the simple rule Of
good management cited above. The
supreme court, finding that the direc-
tors were constituted and generally
accepted as the chief governing au-
thority of the church, reserved them
in their right of final authority over
the trustees who publish the organs
of the church.
Laymen will find this interest in the
decision, that the supreme court has
upheld the view that in the interpreted
ton of trust instruments the broader
intent of the maker Of trust can be
safely followed to the exclusion OF
minor complications. This cannot
but make for confidence on the part
of individuals who set up trusts for
the future that the law will protect the
observance of them in satisfactory
manner. Finally, with notable force
in that part of the decision which
deals with the abolition Of the "First
Members" of the Christian Science
church, the decision has this interest
for all ecclesiastical organizations,
hat the court holds that in the absence
Of any express legal contravention,
the members of a church are COM
oetent to govern it's affairs as they
see fit, and that an act of the men, /
oers, or of their representatives, does
lake validity from the common con-
sent of the members, and need not be
made perfect in the technicalities
which might, in other circumstances,
,e required of a commercial corpora
ion.

Keeping Shoes Alive.
Root and Shoe Recorder.

Boot and Shoe Recorder.
A recent advertisement sent out by
a dealer contains the following sug-
gestion for adding 1000 miles OF SER
vice to shoes:
First-Keep several pairs of good
shoes on hand and wear them altern-
ately.
Second-Insert shoe trees in every
pair not in service.
Third-Buy shoes intended for the
service to which you put them. We
carefully select the various kinds, tan
nages and weights of leather to meet
your requirements in service. Our
salesman will gladly assist in selecting
proper shoes for any service.
Fourth-Have your shoes cleaned
and polished regularly. This removes
dust and dirt which works into the
grain of leather and makes it dry and
lifeless.
Fifth-Caution shine boys not to
use too much paste or polish, and not
to rub hard with a shine cloth, which
burns the leather and causes crack
ing.
Sixth-Have the heels rebuilt when
the second lift of the heels wears
through.

of the axle carried a circular flange,
and within each fange, engaging the
ratchet, were pawls. This arrange
ment allowed the outer wheel to move
faster than the inner wheel when turn
ing corner. So there was one drive
forward and no reverse. The steering
shaft carried a pinion, which was
geared into the fifth Wheel of the
wagon.
This steam car Mr.. Spencer built to
carry him to and from his work. On
the racetrack he was able to keep up
with the fastest troting horses. On
the road his speed was limited by the
rough condition Of the surface. The
tubular boiler, with its many tubes of
small diameter, and the use of the
(then) abnormally high steam pres
sure of $50 pounds to the square inch,
was long step in advance of the cur
rent practise of that day.

Whitlock, Diplomat
and Writer.

Brand Whitlock has made far
reaching name for himself both as q
man of high literary attainments and
as an American representative IN
foreign court in time Of war. His
countrymen have pride in him on both
scores and wish that his future may
be fit companionpiece to his past.
It is reported that Mr.. Whitlock is
soon to retire as minister to Brussels,
and that he will devote himself more
fully to literary work than he has been
able to do in connection with his offici-
al duties. The rumor is entirely credi-
BILE and for some reasons it cannot be
unpleasant to the people Of this coun-
try.
Mr.. Whitlock could not hope to add
anything to the esteem in which the
United States and the world hold him
by continuing in his post as minister
to Belgium. He mounted to the peak
of all possible glory on the strength
of his distinguished service during the
war period. If his tireless efforts day
and night had been of avail with the
German authorities the fate of Edith
Cavell, heroic martyr nurse, would
have been different and at least one
black mark would have been kept from
the ugly record of the Prussian war
lords. Mr.. Whitlock came near max
ing a physical wreck Of his own life
through his unfailing devotion to the
victims of the European holocaust.
Thus it is we say that Brand Whit
lock could not hope to enhance his pre-
sent fame as an American diplomatic
representative by remaining in that
branch of the public service. It is in
his power, however, to add to his rem
own as writer. What he has done
already as literary man is the earn
est of what he still can do if he has
the necessary leeway of time and
specialized attention. He knows how
to deal with historic facts to make
them fascinatingly interesting, and he
knows how to mingle fiction with fact
to the same purpose. Given the op-
portunity, it may be expected of him
that he will contribute valuable addi-
lions to the literature Of the war and
it's aftermath It goes without say
ing that he has stored away in his
mind a rich field of material upon
which to draw. He will be freer to
tap these sources as a private citizen
than he ever could be as an official
agent of his country.

The Christian
! Science Decision.
Boston Transcript.

The decision by the supreme judicial
court in the suit of the trustees of the
Christian Science Publishing society
against the directors Of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston,
bears the characteristic mark of COM
mon sense which so often distinguishes
able judicial decisions. Despite the
many legal complexities which attend
ed the case, the court finds that when
irrelevancies are shorn away and the
issue is viewed in it's essential terms
only, the great determining principles
of law involved are seen to support,
and not overthrow, the principles of
common sense involved.
Now, the question of common sense

ART TREASURES TO BE SHOWN
 IN ITALY

ROME, Jan 21 - Italy will soon hold an exhibition to display to the world the beautiful art treasures she has recovered from Austria in conse- quence of the war. The Italians claim that these objects of virtue
 were systematically stolen by Aus
 trians from Italy in the days when
 the Italians were too weak to pro-
 tect themselves. First and fore most among them are nine magnifi- cent tapestries of Bible subjects. They are of Flemish workmanship.
 These products of the first half of the 18th century were hung in the rucal ralace at Matuan. Emperor Francis Joseph ordered their trans fer temporarily to the Industrial Mu- scum of Vienna and later they were removed to the imperial palace in the Austria capital. They have just been returned to Italy's possession and once more hang in the Matuan Palace.
 Some of the works of art just re- stored were among those carried off by Napoleon from the churches, pal aces and country houses of the re- public of Venice. They were returned to Venice after Napoleon's fall, only to be carried off to Vienna to become the brightest ornaments of the celebrated galleries there. h. cluded in the number now returned to Italy are Gina da Conegliano's superb Madonna of the Oranges" and pictures by Bartolommeo Vivar- ini, Paolo Veronese. Bisciana (the Master of Carpaccio), Tintoretto Bel leni. etc.
