FEDERAL AID ROADS

The Bureau OF Public Roads OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture announces
that the selection OF roads to be included in
the federal-aid highway system is progressing
rapidly.
The plan. as proposed in the Federal High
wav Act of last November, Will create net
work OF good roads touching practically every
county in the country Not more than per
cent of the total mileage in any state viii be
included in the system and not more than three
seventies OF that will be primary or interstate
highways. The rest will be inter-county or
secondary roads.
In the past year, 10000 miles of roads have
been completed with federal aid. Started be-
lore the passage OF the Highway Act they
are so important. that they will, probably be
included in the plan as finally outlined.
Nj the roads are to be maintained in con
finuou,v seryiceable condition When the
whole project is finished it will present such
system of fine highways as no nation has ever
constructed.
1t is too early to brag about these new miles
OF Good roadway. They represent a tardy rec
oqnition OF the value OF well-built and mani
tanned highways. In proportion to the nation
wealth and traffic needs, it has not much more
than made start toward program OF road
construction which should be undertaken as
a matter OF course.

OLD AMERICANS

% . z =.
AS the public becomes familiar with the
whole revolving situation in Mer Rouge La
a curious fact energies. That community,
with its apparently sordd ideals. its lack OF
civic spirit and political capacity its primitive
passions and fears and easy susceptibility to
mob rule, is composed almost wholly OF -o!d
Americans.
1t is much the same with the facts revealed
bv the Herrin murder trial in Illinois, he
residents OF the region known as Egypt
where the horrible mob murders occurred last
summer, are nearly all OF old American stock.
There are no Americans OF older standing
than the mountaineers of Kentucky and len
nessee, whose murderous feudS have written
so red chapter in the American record
No alienism here! None OF this can be
blamed on immigrants.
Unpleasant as the admission is, there does
not seem to be anything essentially and neceS-
sarily good in having been born in tins couli-
fry and descended from revolutionary stock
The average American is unquestionably SUI
ncrior. in character, intelligence and ideals,
TO the average immigrant But ii there IS any
reality in "Americanism, perhaps that mitch
abused word must be used to express quallty
not of blood but OF head and heart--a quality
that is not inherited, but produced by edqea-
ton and training.

League Influence Felt

Thirty-six OF the forty legisla-
tive measures opposed by the
New Jersey League Of Municipali-
ties were defeated at the session of
the LEGISLATURE, according to a sum
mary of the leagues efforts issued
by the executive secretary, Sedley
n Phinney. The league succeeded
in putting through eight Of the TWEEN
tv-fve bills which it favored, but ex-
7lanation is made that the greater
number of the measures hat failed of
massage we're of minor Importance
and the efforts to bring about their
sdontion were not vigorous.
The league considers as its most i'm
nortant achievements the defeat Of
the Corio tax limitation bill and its
successful opposition to a number of
nension and tenure of office bills. The
Corio measure represented the ideas
If Republican State Chairman Stokes
as to the most effective means of solv-
ing the problem of increasing tax bur
lens. 1t would have compelled a re-
1uction in the tax rate every year un
I'll the rate was 81 per $1,000, and it
was maintained by the league that it
would have the effect of checking
community growth without producing =,
beneficial results for the taxpayers.

AMERICAN CEMETERIES
ABROAD

The conclusions of Congressman
Andrew, respecting the condition of
the cemeteries, where lie bodies of
American soldiers in France, follow
ing his recent visit there, are cause
for uneasiness. 1t may be that his
criticism of the plans made at Wash
ington as inadequate and character
lied by a false spirit of economy is
somewhat excessive. He thinks there
should be something besides wire
fence on the three sides other than
the front. He says he found no in
tention to erect any general monu-
ment or statue expressing the graft
tude Of the country, no provision for
chapel for accommodation of visitors.
He concludes these cemeteries have
been designed with no more thought
Of establishment than il they had
been intended for the victims of a
railroad accident.
II is not in accord with the. tradi-
tional spirit OF the country to permit
the last resting places OF its soldier
dead to go unmarked and without
proper manifestation of respect
In this country the States and
re m en- tai associations have
been chiefly instrumental in providing
the monuments and markers and
such procedure would appear suita-
BILE with respect to these cemeteries
in France. That the Federal govern
ment should provide suitable enclos-
ure and for q kempt appearance sure
ly will not be questioned. In the COM
ing years millions will visit those
cemeteries and the. impressions they
there receive will be favorable or I'M
favorable to the United States.

THE MATTER OF GERMAN RE.
LIEF

This is the day for an overflow Of
tears and lamentations from Ger
many. How much of 1t is genuine
and how much part of skilfully
devised propaganda to weaken the
purpose of Poincare is hard to de-
termine. One thing We cannot over
look: very many of the common peo-
pie of Germany, what with robbery
of their savings by means of worth
less money, what with being ex-
plotted by constituencies indus
trialists, made tools Of political
partisans. are suffering and the
prospect of grim starvation stares
them in the face.
The impulse to feed the hungry
Is not confined to the American peo-
pie, but they have surely given evil
dence of possessing their full share
of it. Every vindictive man OF wo-
man Is partly insane" declares Lloyd
George. This is no time for vindic-
tiveness. We may not avoid our dis
trust of German faith, contempt for
her crying wolf" when the wolf"
was her own upbringing; we may
hesitate to contribute food to the
underpaid operatives working for the
SHINES to produce goods cheaply SO
as successfully to flood the worlds
markets to the immense profit of
these German bloodsuckers hoard
ing their gold in foreign banks. 1t
is but natural to be cautious in &C
cepting German pleas at face value.
Tht is not vindictiveness but COM
mon sense.
But it also is natural for the heart
Of the American people to respond
to the cry of hunger and restitution.
We should be thankful that we are
blessed with means to respond. So it
may be possible to save many lives
through the winter, afford them a
chance to survive, to still the cries
of hungry children and check the
waste of famine. 1t is an oppor-
tunity, although one to be used with
wisdom and in the light of all the
accurate information obtainable. The
Ouakers are raising five million dol
lars for Germany's hungry children,
but how much is being contributed
by German bankers, by representa-
tives of German interests, is not
known. 1t would be well to make
public the attitude Of those, who are
profiting from conditions in Germany.

of the Wicked Water Witch. Pretty
soon, the stars came out, one by one,
in the dark blue sky, and the full,
round moon silvered the leaves OF the
forest
In the distance rose a high noun
tain on which the snow was whiried
by the wind until it seemed like a
part of the white. fieecy clouds.
} There is the Ice Palace" suddenly
exclaimed the little Yellow Bird.
Don't you see the spires and turrets
and all the queer shapes we find on
our window panes cold mornings?'
Come, let us stand on the window
ledge" said Little Jack Rabbit But
the ice was too frosty for them to see
inside. All of a sudden, the little yell
low Bird exclaimed:
Your breath has melted little
hole in the ice panel" And sure
enough. it had! So the little bunny
pressed his mouth close to the thin
sheet of ice until ii was completely
melted and they could see room
with walls of pure shining ice. lei
cles hung from its roof and delicate
tracery of frost-work frescoed the
ceiling. Over the smooth, icy floor
skated little frost fairies about as
large as your thumb, white as snow
flakes.
On a throne at one end of the hall
sat Jack Frost. clothed in ermine,
with sparkling diamond ornaments Of
frozen water drops. He looked some
what like Santa Claus and was In
fact jolly little frost king. He held
a tiny icicle in one hand for sceptre
which when the Winter months
came OH the earth, he used as a
brush or pencil. -...
But, oh dear me. AS soon as he
saw the bunny boy and the little Vel
low Bird, he grew very angry and
calling together his frost fairies, he
made a dash for the window. BY
that time. however, Little Jack Rab-
bit and the Yellow Bird had @owr
inside. and avoiding the onrush OF
the angry little people. alighted or
the floor of the castle.
And in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that.
