RevOlutiOnizing the Roads

1t is only a few years ago that the
United States Government. embarked
upon a genuine program of helping
to build roads. And it was not many
years before that the States came to
the aid of the counties, and the
counties to the aid of the towns. In
the roaring nineties" when horses
and buggies held sway the respon-
sible citizens whose prominence eX-
tended beyond their own township
limits, boasted about the county
road" This road usually was an
arterial highway of dirt cOnstruc-
ton, and sometimes it was wide
enough for two fiery steeds to pass
in opposite directions without get
ting ditched, or lost in the woods.
And all editors who ran newspa-
pers in those days still take pleas
ure in "reminiscences regarding the
way in which they advocated good
roads for the benefit of the farmers. "
The farmer gets his setting in the
present picture because his needs
have been made incidental to auto
mobiles that scoOt for pleasure The
revolution of highway building has
become a system, and all within the
lifetime of present day f1appers md
shieks. The Federal-aid roads have
an aggregate length of more than
$4,000 miles. Hills, mountains and
seemingly impossible barriers have
yielded to the force of explosives,
and the wOrkmen have laid hard
surfaced roads everywhere. Road
building has progressed so rapidly
that it is difficult to keep track of
the methods employed in cOnstruc-
ton. The United States Bureau of
Public Roads and the State high
way officials have started in on a
well developed plan to cut out the
useless waste that has crept in on
the new industrial undertaking.
The growth of transcontinental
rOad-building is shown by the fact
that there is now a route extending
from the National Capital through
st. Louis, TeXarkania and Ell PasO to
San Diego which is 81 per cent i'm
proved; and another route from At
lantic City, New Jersey, to Astoria,
Oregon, which is seven-eighths i'm
proved. Still another highway is
from Boston to Seattle through the
northern tier of States and it is 73
per cent improved and So per cent
surfaced.

Rum Row and Congress

Official reports received in Wash
ingtOn state positively that the ia
nous rum row" off the Atlantic
Coast no longer exists. Twenty-Five
deStrOyers and cutters constitute the
patrol boats, and Rear Admiral
Frederick c. Billiard, Commander of
the Coast Guard, says that photo
graphs of ships containing liquor
supposed to be on rum row, are
fakes. Admiral Billiard displays
charts prepared from reports of the
Coast Guard which show the effec-
tive patroling of the Atlantic from
Maine to Chesapeake Bay. There
have been practically no liquOr-lad-
ened vessels harboring anywhere
near the North Atlantic Coast" says
Billiard, although occasionally a
liquor ship has been located long
distance at sea-"
A few of the wet congressman
who have just been wetting up at
home during the holidays, are in
sisting on trying to break down the
prohibition law because "it is a fail
Ure." At the same time the reports
by Government agents in every part
of the country, including cities like
Chicago, st. Louis and San Francis
co, indicate that the liquor traffic is
gradually declining. Every one of the
best men in the Federal service en-
phatically insists that temperance is
increasing in all parts of the cOun-
try.
To refute all such official reports
the political vets rise up on their
hind legs and cry out "taint so,
'taint sol" And that is their argu-
ment as one hears it in Washing
ton.

It was announced that country
wheat arrivals in Canada yesterday
had over-topped any previous figures
for single day. The aggregate was
6,489,000 bushels against 3,522,000
bushels year ago. In addition, the
market was bearishly affected by a
Canadian forecast that ideal weather
for threshing would prevail over Sun
day, and by trade gossip that the
maximum weight of the Canadian crop
had not yet been felt.
Accentuating wheat market weak
ness were reports of welcome general
rain in Argentina, together with an
official estimate that Argentina has
seeded 100000 more acres of wheat
than a year ago. Besides, revised
world crop estimates today placed the
yield of wheat in 33 countries at 81
O24,0OO,O0O bushels, compared with g.

other hand, Liverpool wheat quota
tions today were relatively firm, and
there was talk current that breaks in
