With the campaign to remove ~unsightly advertising signs
from America $ roads well under way, attention may well be
turned to the character of signs and sign posts marking roads
to show their destination and distance.
Ihe historic "sign post is of wood, with a board nailed
to the side, ending in a rude representation of a pointing hand
Ihe board bears upon its face, usually in weather obliterated
letters, the name of the next town.
Such a marker was all right for a trail, or a wagon road,
but is as much out of place on a fine, hard road as an OK cart
among automobiles. Modern practice dictates that road signs
and posts should be permanent, slightly, plain as to informa-
ton conveyed, sturdy and artistic.
For national highways, a beautiful bronze sign post has
already been designed by a famous sculptor. Road associa-
tons interested in some particular road have adopted distinc-
tive markers, in many cases of a high degree of art and beauty,
as well as utility. The Old Oregon Trail, for instance, which
it is proposed to improve from the Missouri to the Columbia,
is now in process of being marked with signs of real beauty
and significance. Professor Fairbanks, of the University of
Oregon, designed the marker, showing a tycpial covered wagon
and pioneer family of early western days. Such a sign is
particularly appropriate for this trail, which is the route fol
lowed by early day pioneers in their ox-team emigration from
the eastern states to Oregon and Washington in the late fortiesI
and early ffhes.
1t is not necessary to wait for some large association to
design or place markers. Every town can help by seeing to
it that the sign posts along its entering and leaving roads are
plain as to intent, yet handsome and distinctive. Placing such
markers embodies the spirit of welcome to the tourist, which
is "good business" for any town, and is most excellent work
for local civic organizations to take up and follow through.

SOCIETY AND THE PAUPER

A world problem under the name of charity stares society
in the face yearly. This is making US realize that there is still
There are many who peck and tinker at the outside of such a
problem or conduct a world ode novo'' with no poor people in
it. Too many folk scott at organized, measured, and alphabet
lcally arranged charities, or give every one who asks the coat
the cloak, the meal, and the price for a bottle of hooch, with
out asking a question; they may buy dolls or ladle out soup
or pay unearned wages; they may rob Peter to pay Paul;
their own, or go to dances in decollete to clothe the naked
widows and orphans; in some fashion all people are brought
face to face with the grim question of poverty. 1t is generally
very uncomfortable. To Danish the haunting, wan faces we
will give more than-a penny! We feel the whole situation
is absurd, decidedly unscientfic, unbusinessike, therefore I'M
christian. What shall we do7 We do not know what to do!
poor, for we feel that a man who has sold his soul is no longer
a problem for humans; to his own master he stands or falls.
But we are in despair about the ''poor devils" as they are
called, the down and -outers, the dotsam and scum of life. The
delivering word has not yet come. Perhaps rules are bound
to break down in the world Of individual misery. Every poor
miserable wretch is a world in himself, where the skein of per-
sonal initiative, guilt, and turpitude is tangled most hopeless
ly;, Even the undeserving poor, can make out a case for him
self. That Is why he is a problem of society.
In Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, as well as in New England,
various organizations have tried to get at the bottom of the
matter. Depression and unemployment have forced the issue
They have passed resolutions, begged for money, held con-
ventlons, published books on poverty, pauperism, and poor
farms. The nakedness which the cold statistician has I'M
covered is so discouraging just because we do not yet see what
can be done. The industrial crisis in the mining world and in
the world of trade has brought to a point all the grievances
of the poor, and is giving voice to the unsatisfed. Men are
getting weary of w~ell-doing, and they are skeptical of the
policy that casts bread upon the waters, for they know that this
is but temporizing. Good intentions are not going to solve the
Sporadic charity will not do it, for that only touches the fringe.
The churches and lodges will not do it for they can not reach
everybody. God will not do it, that were too easy and de-
moralizing. Ultimately, it is the State itself, the nation that
Will have to step in. Society has created the problem, and
society will have to solve it. If nations can organize in war
they can mobilize for peace and make war on the pauper. The
poor we shall always have with us, but the pauper is a survival
OF a low order or organization whom a better society will not
tolerate.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

"The prosperity of the American ma
ton rests on the vIgor Of private init.
alive which has bred a spirit Of In
dependence and self reliance. The Re
publican party stands now as always
against all attempts to put the govern
ment into business.
American industry should not be
compelled to struggle against govern
ment competition. The right Of the
government to regulate, supervise and
control public utilities and public in
terests we believe should be strength
ened, but we are firmly opposed to the
naturalization or government owner
ship Of public utilities.
Plank on Coal Prices
1.-THE price and a constant supply
Of this essential commodity are of vital
interest to the public. The govern
ment has no constitutional power to
regulate prices. but can bring lts In
fIuence to beaD by the powerful In.
strument afforded by full publicity.
When through Industrial conflict, its
supply is threatened, the President
should have authority to appoint
commission to act as mediators and
as medium for voluntary arbitration.
In the event of strike the control
of distribution must be invoked to pre-
vent profiteering.
