roads as we'll as machinery need, up
keep and constant care, but this cost
is negligible compared to the service 1t
gives. Money 50 spent Is worth the
cost, for 1t gives employment to thous'
ands OF people bringing the money back
into circulation and In the very local
ity where the roads are built.
1t is q fact that land values increase
from fifty per cent to as much as one
hundred per cent and more in localities
where roads are built and taken care
Of.
In the northern states where they
have had hard surfaced roads for
years, they are not only spending
thousands of dollars every year to
maintain them. but they are building
more and more roads, and would they
do that if they were not worth their
cost. would they not otherwise do
away with them altogether?
A prosperous community and good
roads are linked together as certainly
as a poor community and bad or nc
roads at all are.
Certainly good roads are worth
their cost, many times so, and we are
only at the beginning Of the era OF
good roads.
In short, good roads mean prepared
ness and security for our country, pro
yress for the farmer and business men

been before Congress for months and
months has been the cause OF much
politicpl warfare, and we sometimes
feel that political warefare costs the
citizens of the United States more
money in one year than the great war
with Germany did in the same period
of time. We believe in the Soldier
Bonus Bill, and we believe that every
other red blooded American believes
in it, and we further believe that If
every man In congress was lOO per
cent American that the law would
have already been enacted and func'
tioning at this time.
But after many months of delay and
wrangllng over the matter, one Senator
Calder Of New York, comes forth with
a proposition to amend the bill to
authorize the sale of 3 per cent beer
and place a sufficient tax on same to
raise the amount of cash necessary to
pay the bonus.
First we wish to say that there should
he enough brains In the legislative
halls at Washington to frame an
amendment to this bill that would
provide a revenue sufficient to pay
the bonus without re-Opening saloons
which would be the result of permit
ing 3 per cent beer and light wines
We do not know whether this man
Calder is producer or consumer OF
alcoholic beverages, but we are posi-
tive that he Is connected with the
industry In some manner that either
effects his pocket book or his appetite
We believe, and feel that all gOO(
people that have the interest Of Others
at heart will agree with us, that gov
eminent officials should be deyotinl
their energies towards curbing the
illicit sale and manufacture of whiSkey
and beer in our country today instead
of fooling away their time with some
measure that is fostered by the liquor
interest and that will open the gate fol

cause of a great deal of beer being sole

evitably' be vitiated.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes gave the country formal as
surance that the naval limitation
treaty does not lessen the defensive
strength Of any Of the signatory
powers. In making that statement
they naturally assumed that none of
the countries after agreeing to q ratio
would make. It q fallacy in practice by
rendering inefiicient any part of the
naval establishment allowed under the
agreement.
Let the personnel ratio conform to
the needs Of the Navy established by
the ship ratio as adopted. It is known
to be low under present conditions.
Material reductions would make it en-.
tirely inadequate. Naval strength
must be figured in terms Of men az
well as ships. and the country viii not
approve what would amount to con-
gressional alteration Of the popular
5-5-3 ratio Of naval strength.

will become so warm the friends Of

tion show but a languid interest in the
fortunes Of the nominee.
This might-probably would-spell
republican defeat. So from men of
their caliber we may expect that IN
case Of Mr.. Beveridge's success Mr..
New will put his organization at the

safety-With Reservations.

Various agencies have charged
themselves with an examination or an
inquiry concerning certain obsolete
bridges in the District. One Of the
local traction companies had an ex-
animation made by an engineer Of
high professional achievement. and
the report was that the Calvert Street
bridge Is safe-that is, safe with reser-
vations. Tho notifications are that
loads shall be light and that they shall
not move fast. Safety with modiflca-
tions may be. translated as partial
safety. and partial safety 10 unsafety.
One Of the civic clubs has also un-
dertaken to find out how these bridges
stand, and the chairman Of the clubs
bridge committee has reported the En-.
sineer Commissioner Of the District as
saying: "It is q well known fact that
even the most careful examination Of
an old metal structure can 90 no
further than Q search for those things
that are visible or that can b verified
by means Of hammer tests. So neither
in the case Of this bRidgs nor that of
any other IRON or steel bridge Of equal
age is there the complete certainty
that would exist in the case Of q
masonry bridge" -..
Here it IL! Certainty" Is not q noun
Of comparison. There Is either Ger.
tainty, or there IL not certainty. The
bridge may be safe, but tho bridge
may not be safe. There oush. not to
be q "rnay not" about the safety Of
bridge. The only satisfactory solution
Of this matter Win be the replacement
Of out-of-dats IRON bridges by masonry
bridges.
