The last decade has witnessed notable expansion
and improvement Of the public highway system Of the
nation and in that period the federal government has
contributed to this result by expanding on
roads,
The national government has promoted road con-
struction, but from its treasury but small frac-
ton OF the total funds provided from all sources for
highway construction and maintenance.
Pennsylvania and Illinois have both spent more than
S1OO.0OOOOO for roads since 1918. Highway appro-
priations of number of states reach high in the
millions each year, and al states are spending large
sums annually.
Several states their improvements, at least in
part to the stimulus provided by offers of federal aid
Loath to lose the federal dollars, number of states
created active highway departments and provided them
with working funds. For them it was the beginning
Of systematic highway construction. 1t took their mo-
florists and their farmers out of the mud.
The funds given to the states in the form of federal
aid came from the buyers of motor vehicles and their
parts. From 1918 until the automobile tax was re-
peaed the government collected HOO 600 900 from
car and truck The nation owes it's good roads
to the operators of motor vehicles who consider their
tax dollars we'll spent.

HOOVER AND HIS GUARDS

Already, Herbert Hoover has had taste of the
loss OF personal freedom that goes with election to the
presidency Of the nation.
On the day after election he found his Pao Alto
nome guarded by several unobtrusve capable-lookng
men in civilian clothes. These men will watch over him
until ne finishes his time in the White House. They
are secret service operatives charged with the safety
OF the president and in recent years it has been de-
creed that the presidentelect also must have their
protection.
number OF our presidents, notably Roosevelt and
Harding, grew tired of this eternal vigilance and
delighted to outwt their guards. But the surveillance
IS necessary for all that. Mr.. Hoover cannot escape
it. 1t is one of the prices he pay for his elevation

LIONS IN LABORATORIES

Nothing can be much more interesting, to an Amer
ican than the history of this country during the last
three-quarters of a century.
During that period the country emerged from its
infancy and reached lusy, energetic manhood. The
change that upon it profound; yet we
do not clearly just what has happened to just
where We going. But the process of change has
at least gone far enought that pause and
look back to study ourselves effectively.
A good many novelists have tried to interpret this
development for u.s. One Of the latest to do SO is
Thames williamson whose "Stride of Man. puts under
q microscope the whole astonishing swing from from
tier civilization to Of factories, production
and big cities.
The hero of this book, born in an Oregon log cabin,
grows up with the new ndustrialism and becomes a
kind of Henry Ford-a superenergetic maker Of
mobiles. He lives and breathes only to make autos;
and in his mind his workers only rather eccentric
machines, indispensable but fit only for the perform
of such tasks cannot yet be entrusted auto
matte whirlgigs.
This man may fairly be taken type. He is mod
en America personified. He can recall the days Of
oxcars and the pony express but he remembers them
only with Impotence. He himself has killed them for
ever. He exists without a background. Nothing mat
ters to him, but the production Of sod material things
When someone reproaches him because the industrial
age has made contributions to the arts he is panied
has he not given his city money for an art museum
To the end of his life he remains ignorant that man
nation have any higher aim than the erection of
factories.
Yet, accepting this the incarnation Of the
American spirit is impossible to feel that he is wholly
wrong.
The pioneers struggled west with very definite ma.
teral detectives. They wanted to find place where
life could be easier where poverty could be eliminated
where every could have enough and to spare
They were very definitely, out for the full dinner pail
and all its appurtenances.
Industrial America is the logical result. AS the pio
neers without exactly realizing that they doing
performed q work Of incalcuabe service, it may b.
that their children the ndustrialists doing like
wise. Herbert Hoover has said that the complete
abolition Of poverty is possibility for US. Ant
that work will be done, not by the poets and ant
artists but by the energetic who are obsessed will
the job Of producing everincreasing stream Of ma
terial things.
We are not quite finished with pioneering. Amer
lea seems to be sort Of laboratory, in which the
possibilities Of the age Of indusriasm can be teste
for the benefit Of the rest Of the world. The day
the pioneers had its hard, cruel unpleasant aspects
and 50 has own. But much can be forgiven an err
pf preparation.

Davila was always strong for close
cultural relations with the United
States and was Importantly instru-
mental in making Chile good friend
Of ours. Meanwhile he and numer-
Gus other Chileans were becoming
disguised with their government and
Davila fought for new deal.
A general housekeeping was
effected in 1926 and when they asked
Don Carlos what position he wanted
in the new government he asked for
the ambassadorship to Washington,
hoping that he could promote some
more Chilean-American friendship
and do something to clean up the
Tacna-Arica mess in which this
country and Peru have been en-
broiled for these many years.
He has been doing we'll at both
jobs. He got the Peruvian and
Chilean delegates together at Ha-
vana and was responsible for restor-
ing diplomatic relationship between
the two countries after lapse of
II years. The Tacna-Arica ques-
ton remains unsettled, but the out
look has become considerably more
hopeful. -

WARDEN JOHN LEE

North Dakota loses honest painstaking public
servant in the death of Warden John Lee. His record

always regarded public office public trust John
Lee made friends readily but he held them In small
way his public services have contributed to the upbud

known, for he Of few words and did
he boast or seek the lmelight of publicity 1t was
hard to get statements from Mr. Lee, but he plodded
along faithfully doing each days task the best of
his ability.
Warden Lee developed the state prison farm. He
believed in putting out many TRUSTEES under Gods
great canopy he could feeling that in contact with
the various farm duties the process of reform would
work better than behind cold walls and under strict
discipline.
But the late warden was not soft in his discipline.
Years as sheriff of Ward county taught him prison
routine and the value Of strict discipline when pres
sure became necessary The fact that there few
escapes from the state institution and that discipline
under Mr.. Lee was far above what had obtained
there in the past is tribute enough to his system of
dealing with the inmates.
He q sef-made He struggled up to the
important post Of state prison warden through his
merits. AS legislator he careful in the dis
charge Of his duty. Caution in all matters one

and reputation for square dealing him the office

ment of homeseaders brought in desperate char
acters. 1t sinecure to be sheriff Of Imperial
Ward in those days. John Lee handled the job with.
out fear favor.
His appointment by Governor Nestos enabled Mr..
Lee to enter upon broader field of prison work. He
sought to improve conditions at the state institution
and Of the inmates found him unsympathetic
to just demand or to plea for enency.
John Lee will be missed by host Of friends and by
many unfortunates whom he helped to the high road
of success.

serious fears whether he would be

Carlos flew on in a new plane from
Maxwell Field, bound for Houston.
En- route he ran into tornado
which subsequently, nearly destroyed
town or two in its path and had a
miraculous escape from that. But
the tornado hurried him on to Hous-
ton and he made the $50 miles in five
hours.
At Houston he made speech
which the Foreign Trade Council
deemed worthy of several printings.
He demonstrated that the remark
able growth of our trade with Latin
America was not due to wars for<
tuitous assistance. but to a cycle Of
development originating from the
powerful expansion Of American pro-
duction and merchandising. This
demonstration virtually ruined a
rather general impression among
business men that the war really was
responsible.

ambassador had to get to New York
