TELLING WILBUR HE
SHOULD RESIGN

When a. successor to Secretary
DENLY was needed President Coo
lidge hardened TO a recommended
ton OF one of the Washington cor
respondents from the Pacific coast
and nominated Mr.. Wilbur for the
job. Mr.. Wilbur was a judge in
California and had fair for writ
Ing on the side, being quite sue
cessful as an inventor OF bedtime
stories. His qualifications to be
secretary OF the navy were not par
ticularly noticeable.
Secretary wilbur accordingly
shouldered the responsibilities of
looking after the welfare Of the
navy where Secretary DENLY left off
after the oil scandal splashed a
few drops upon his dress suit. SO
far he has made a record inferior
to that Of Secretary Daniels, the
only difference being that when
ever Daniels made a mistake there
was a No. II protest In the ma
jority Of public prints, while those
of Mr.. Wilbur have been less vocl-
ferousy greeted. During the past
week, however, even the New
York Sun and the New York Her.
Tribune, which have been in
cined to see as much beauty as
possible in the administration, have
let it be known they do not like
Secretary Wilburs style; while the
New York World, eager for an op-
portunity to razz t h adminstra-
ton, has asked for Mr.. Wilbur's
resignation almost daily.
The Hartford Times took the OPP
portunity to Uallop Secretary Will
bur quite energetiCaly, pointing
out string of errors committed
by the secretary since he became
a member of the Washington team.
To these We subscribe most heart
lily. Secretary Wilbur is not only a
weak sister on the team, but from
the beginning had 10 more talent
for running the navy than any
other land luhber has in running
a battlcship. The President would

He has a very pleasant way

Nor does he live for pelf.

And though sometimes he's apt to
err,
He'll laugh at all Jokes that occur,
On others, or himself.
Said he TO me, Like other men

Despite my warts, my moles, and

That II a new suit I will buy,
A new shirt and a new neck tie,
I'll cause all kinds OF girls to sigh;
Clerks, laundresses, and cooks.
Gosh! When a fellow tries on
clothes.
Those triple mirrors do expose
The truth about his Roman nose.
And prove he Is no dream!
Today I bought a brand-new suit
And found out that I am no beaut;
Instead OF feeling very cute
I've lost my self-esteem!"

TRUNK HIGHWAYS FOR
MOTOR TRUCKS

N'AiN pbiS SAitSitf'S
have been having powwow in
New York and one of the "devel-
opments Of the future" they dis
cussed was the creation Of trunk
highways for motor trucks between
important cities.
Numerous individuals of promi-
nence, who at least ought to be
thoroughly conversant with the
trend of transportation affairs, ap-
pear to have agreed that IN the
course OF ten years these special
motor truck highways will be a
reality, and fleets OF motor trucks
will be kept off the Highways de-
voted TO pleasure and touring au-
tomobiles.
The plan seems logical IL there are
to be many m ore motor trucks
hauling freight between the chief
cities. At present they clutter up
the main roads in increasingly
large numbers, getting in the way
of faster moving automobiles and
being a fruitful cause OF accidents.
directly or Indirectly.
Highways or trucks only would
be a costly thing, of course, but no
more costly than additional main
highways used by both automobiles
and trucks; and of the latter there
must be more without a doubt.
Among the transportation Off
Gals who assisted in the discussion
were railroad men who greatly de-
precatcd the development of motor
trucks for the transportation of
freight, saying the railroads paid
heavy taxes aud the money was
then used TO build highways for
the use of their competitors, the
owners OF the trucks. This is rather
stock argument t i a does not
gain in force by repetition, The
facts are the railroads themselves
appear perfectly willing to buy mo-
| tor coaches and trucks the lat
ter for use particularly around the
large cities and thus themselves
make use OF the highways in this
manner.
Be thu s. as it may, the motor
truck business is constantly deYcl-
oping and thousands of them are
engaged in handling freight in less
than carload lots for comparatively
short distances. In the face of this
competition the railroads are haul
ing more freight Just now than
they have done for years and at
increased efficiency, which means
at less cost. Even the New Haven
railroad has vastly Increased It's
net income for the first eight
months of this year. whom 1t was
$$.919,65S, compared with $So1, S33
for the sam g months last year,
| Only some of the railroads in the
northwest and in the west, wherc
agricultural conditions have been
bad show a decline in earnings.
Special roads for motor trucks
however lead to some financial
complications that may be Of hene-
ut to the railroads. II would be IL
logical to expect the general tax
payers to pay for the special roads
used by motor trucks, and 10 taH
the motor trucks for the costs and
upkeep would entail considerable
extra expense upon the motor
truck business and would raise
their rates for transportation. The
public pays for the roads either
way Just as they pay for the
rights of way Of the railroads ant
pay the taxes they growl abou
through The charges the railroadt
make for service.
