trim of bolshevism is the necessity of
overthrowing by violence all govern
ments not committed to communism.
He knows that in the bolshevist
chamber of Horrors" at Moscow a
prominent exhibit is the Constitution
of the United States, inscribed: "The
most dangerous enemy of mankind"
He knows that Lenin and Trotzky and
all the major and minor bolshevist
prophets have declared that the
United States is the chief obstacle to
the worldwide program of bolshe-
vism and must be destroyed in order
to make the communist cause trium-
plant.
Knowing all this, and that Chris
tianity and all religion are marked
for destruction by bolshevism, DR..
Cadman pleads for the Fright" of
bolshevists to enter this country at
will and preach their insurrectionary
program. Processing a disbelief in
war, he is willing to have this ''holy
war" preached against land in which
real freedom of speech and religious
liberty exists, in favor of an autocrat-
ic military government in which both
are sternly suppressed.
Madison truly says in the Federal
list: Liberty may be destroyed by the
abusese of liberty as well as by the
abuses of power. There are numerous
instances of the former as we'll as of
the latter. The former, rather than
the latter, are apparently most to be
apprehended by the United States"
Preaching here the violent over
throw of the government of the
United States in order that there may
be reared on the ruins an atheistic,
proscriptive and expropriating gov
eminent like that of Soviet Russia
is an abuse of free speech, rejected
by the American instinct of self
preservation. Well may the American
people fear the advocates of violent
revolution, but, indeed, more than
these their deluded apologists and de-
tenders. To permit the alien agents
of bolshevism to come within our
gates on the ground that our people
can withstand their intrigue, is like
exposing ones self to small pox on
the ground that one with a perfect
constitution ought to be able to with
stand the germs.

our editors or undue reticence on the
part of the State Department. I'm
fortunately most of the great news
gathering facilities, outside our
American press associations and our
American correspondents abroad, are
in the hands of foreign interests.
These foreign interests naturally
see things through the eyes of their
own governments, and the interests
of these foreign governments, which
control the press associations are not
always parallel to the best interests
of the United States. Our State De-
partment may be in touch with the
true situation but it is not always
advisable or politics for the State De-
partment to make public all that it
knows. To do so would not tend to
promote world peace, but world dis
cord. In other words, it is sometimes
as inadvisable for the State Depart
ment of one nation to tell what it
knows or suspects about it's neighbors
as it is for an individual to do the
same thing.
AS result of these handicaps, and
because of the news-control facilities
of some of these foreign nations, we
are at times subjected to an unsus-
pected flood of propaganda, on Chin
csc affairs and other world situations
in which our support is sought for
some policy or other. All of this
makes it little difficult for the aver
age American editor always to ar
rive at the true situation and that he
makes as fine a score in this game as
he does speaks highly of his intelli-
gence and judgment. The propaganda
game is not new one. 1t has been
employed by various Old World ma
tons for centuries.
There are of course a few Ameri-
can newspapers which are controlled
by international minds but these are
fortunately in the minority, and the
public is getting pretty we'll on to
them.
Let US therefore thank Providence
for our real American press. May it
multiply and prosper, and let us do
everything we can as individuals to
support it.

BILLIONS TO BE SPENT IN
1927 ROAD BUILDING

More than a billion dollars will be
spent this year for highway construc-
ton and improvements, according to
figures received from government de-
partment.
1t is planned to construct 28,841
miles of new roads. For new bridges
$56,000,000 will be expended. Anoth-
er S27, 100000 will be used for recon-
structing existing roads.
Not only is the nation wisely spend
ing large sums of money for good
roads, but the highway engineer is
building more eXpertly. The modern
roadbuilder builds for safety. No
longer does he depend much on warn
ing signs and devices. Instead, if
necessary, he eliminates curves, avoids
railroad crossings and reduces steep
grades. In doing so he minimizes
greatly the possibility of accidents at
those places.
1t is interesting to note that S27,-
100000 is available for the recon-
struction of good roads. The neces-
sity for building wider highways and
for widening roads is most evident.
Traffic must continue to move rapidly,
otherwise congestion becomes more
and more problem.
For the upkeep and maintenance of
239,847 miles of roads, S126,000,000 is
available and expected to be used by
the various states. The total expen-
diture provided in the state programs
through their highway departments is
placed at S64S, 4S3,0 00 In addition to
that figure, approximately S477,000,-
600 is expected to be spent by coun-
ties and other lesser subdivisions of
the government.
Estimated total road mileage to be
built by state highway departments
includes 6,957 miles of earth improved
roads; 1885 miles of sand, gravel
and macadam roads, and 7,4S9 miles
of ashphalt, concrete and brick high
ways.
Millions of dollars for good roads!
The economic influence of improved
highways is story that would fill
book. Think of the effect on real es-
tate values alone that such roads will
have. Such highways will result, al
so, in a further disintegration of
urban life and further development
of suburban and rural life.
In truth it can be said that as a
country improves its highways it
progresses socially and economically

THE AMERICAN PRESS

In his recent New York address,
President Coolidge spoke of the value
and even necessity of press that is
thoroughly American. With this
idea, every real American, regardless
of politics, will of course be in hearty
agreement with the President. Fortu-
nately the bulk of the American press
is thoroughly American. Mistakes in
policy which the great majority of our
papers may make, if any, are due not
to lack of Americanism, but to mis-
understanding of the subject. This
is as it should be, for as the Presi-
dent says, IAN American press which
has all the privileges which it enjoys
under our institutions and which de-
rives it's support from the progress
and well being of our people ought
to be first of all thoroughly Ameri-
cam"
A thorough understanding of our
foreign relations and of world events
is not always easy. The reason lies
not in any obtuseness on the part of

THE HOME NEWSPAPER

Apropos of Journalism Week" the
New York Times recently commented
in a somewhat fatherly tone upon the
lives and purposes of small city
papers. They can do many praise
worthy things, it pointed ont, which
metropolitan journals achieve for
their cities slowly or not at all, such
as improving water supplies, stabliz-
ing municipal finances, arousing in
terest in better agriculture and, in
brief, keeping their communities up to
the mark. This is no easy goal, and
any newspaper which helps it's district
toward it earns it's salt. The small
city publication has, undoubtedly,
clear "call" to good works, and more
often than not the call is obeyed
although the whole of the world, base
and noble, must go into successful
newspaper, whether it be large or
small, and a paper that was militant
for civic virtue and nothing more than
that would make dreary reading.
Apart from these opportunities for
intimate and direct community SER
vice, however, there is surprisingly
little difference today-in essential
respects-between the big city papers
and the smaller. The last ten years
have seen a transformation in the
rural and town press. The great
agencies for gathering and dispatch
ing news serve these as swiftly as
they serve the cities, so that some
times the backwoods-a term now out
of date-scoops the metropolis.
The same syndicate writers that
entertain the tired business man en-
deavor to please the farmer. The
wires bring the village whatever it
wants to know just as promptly as
they inform Broadway, and the air,
that newest, speediest and most amaz-
ing courier, carries news from the
mid-Atlantic to the midwest as fast
as it can reach the coast-a state
ment which would have been regarded
as certainly insane and possibly bias
phemous century ago. No place is
isolated any more unless it prefers
to be, as China does-and while this
may appear to many mixed blessing,
it plainly makes for uniformly better
newspapers.
And yet it is true that even though
it commands Djinns and Pucks as
marvellous as those which feed the
very freshest meat, the small town
paper, like the small town man,
probably gets more fun out of life
than its urban brothers. Hundreds
of its subscribers it knows personal
ly." There is a chance for pleasant
and amiable gossip, while in the big
cities there is not much room for this
sort of thing unless it reaches the
proportions of scandal. Almost pa
thetically New York tries to develop
that neighborly community feeling
which small towns enjoy. Accounts
of a policeman holding up traffic for
cat to cross the street or fapper
helping blind men are printed and re-
printed to show that the big heart is
there. In a little town kindness is
not news. ~
1t has been the recent good fortune
of the smaller city papers to add
metropolitan news and features serv-
ice to it's old time neighborliness. Its
nerves have rot had to be developed
at the expense of it's heart. In being
up to date it has not neglected to re-
main a bit old-fashioned. There is
room for the latest dispatches from
the antipodes and also for sociable as
well as social notes.
