poses an appropriation of S2,500000 for rural roads The estimated average cost per mile of improving rural roads is S5,000. If each of the l69 towns of the state is given an equal share in this S2.500.OO0 appropriation less than three miles of improved rural roads per town would result. And that certainly wouldn't care for the demands of the rural regions. no sir. not any where near it. How ever, every one of the 1 69 towns of the state won't expect to share in the road program, so the mileage would increase trifle. but not enough to warrant the program.
 It would seem as if the program of getting the farmer out of the mud would be long one spread out over a period of years. It has taken years to establish first class high way system throughout the state. It cer- tanly will take half as many more years to perfect system of dirt roads that will be open the year round. The pity of 1t is that the state did not act some years ago when relief was sought but denied. Our rural road program would be in full swing now and many sections of the state would have had the benefit of communication with other re- glons throughout the months when mud and snow blocks the roads. Once again the state has seen too late the danger of delay.

ODE TO THE JEW'S-HARP
Christian Science Monitor)

(CnrlStlan science MOnltOr)
 Back in the days when errand boys sang Dolly Gray" and whis- tied the sentimental ditties of the music hall, there was no instrument more popular for emotional express sion than the jew's-harp. Every boy played it. No lessons were required. Just an ear for music, and ambition.
 There were few limits to the heights a performer could go. Had not Q German in the beginning of the nineteenth century caused sen- sation in London by playing sixteen jew's-harps, pitched to different keys? Had not another German. Heinrich Scheibler-his name goes down to posterity-made the toes of his audience jingle by his masterly playing of dances on the trump. az the jew's-harp was known in Eng land.
 But the jew's-harp has fallen ill esteem. So far has 1t dropped in popular favor that two brothers in Rensselaer,, New York, according to recent news dispatch, produce all the ew's-harps made in the United States. The industry to them war an inheritance. Their father ap- parently was a pioneer in his line even fasSioning the tools to make the twanging instruments. On ju- venile tastes he throve, gauging the size of the trump to fit the pocket and the quality to fit the purse.
 Then came the onsweep of the radio. The jew's-harp lost it's grip. It faded like the ocarina and many another boys treasure into the mista of antiquity. And now, but for an occasional outburst on the radio when a big brother who was once . little brother revives interest in it among his little friends, the jew's- harp Is seldom heard. Perhaps search would disclose 1t reclining on shelf in the attic with it's steel tongue aloft, as if smiling at the fads of a new day.

Samuel Fordyce. St Louis attorney. ad- vocates open rebellion against the 18th amendment. He says. Some say we should live up to the law while it is law, but in my opinion, that attitude has no foundation Does its presence in the statute books make it right? cannot believe it does. Person. ally have been guilty of violating it, an action of which l am proud. openly defy it. Aout it in every way; l encourage open rebellion against it." Mir Fordyce does not have to worry much about open rebellion. We have just about reached that stage and although more millions may be diverted by the government to prohibition enforcement in the coming fiscal year we imagine that the law will prove just as much of farce. If somebody could only convince those dry seep- tics that more can be accomplished by educa- ton than legislation in securing temper ance all would be well.

EXTRA! CAVIAR MENACE IN
 BOSTON.
(New York Herald -Tribune.)

(NtW IOTk
 There is something vaguely dis concerting about the intelligence from Boston that caviar r-bearing sturgeon has been found in the net of trawler fishing the waters of Nantucket Sound, usually inhabited only by cod, haddock and the honest pollock. There Is something sinister about a sturgeon and caviar off Cape Cod. For one thing the fish is pop ularly supposed to be Russian, and for another 1t savers of most un- puritanical luxury.
 The question will at once arise: Was the sturgeon Soviet agent or was it an oblique attempt by call culating sybarites to debauch the morals of honest cod-fearing Bos- tonians and New Englanders gen. erally? There is no telling what riot of luxury might overwhelm the purlieus of Beacon Hill and Com monweaIth avenue, what platinum plated sin might overtake the resi- dents of the Vendome and the Vic- otria should Astrakhan or Beluga roe once be served with its cocktails. Once slaves to caviar, even the most confirmed Bostonians might indulge in sinful cravings for Minerva motor cars, monocles, vintage wines, potted palms, hot and cold running foot men, built-in major-domos. plug hats and other E.

Cover Up The Mud

We can remember back four or five years perhaps it was longer than that, when Dr William L. Higgins was the foremost in the ranks of that little army trying to get the farmer out of the mud as the newspapers so |aptly put 1t. We rather expected that when he became secretary of state he would sue ceed in putting through his program of rural road betterment. But in the last year or so the demands of the dirt road opponents have become so large that it IS hard to predict what success will be theirs The present session of the legislature IS sure to see hot fight in the interests of better dirt roads Practically everybody is agreed upon their betterment. but as to the amount of money to be spent and the way it will be expended, ah, there the nub of the fight.
 The association for the Improvement of dirt roads asks for S5.000,OOO to permit the Highway Department to carry out pro- gram. The state board of finance and con- frol suggests that 1000 900 of the depart ment's revenue be allotted for this purpose. lt will remain 10 be seen just how high the proponents of better rural roads can raise this figure and how low the finance board can keep 1t. Those who are on the fence imagine that the figure finally decided upon will be between two and three millions. They realize that the finance board places the appropriation at Sl 100000 to make sure that it won't be S5.000,00o.
 What interests us more than the actual ap- prcprNtion of the money is the way it will be spent. The Hartford Courant furnished some informative figures along this line. It sup

THE DEMOCRATIC OFFENSIVE
(Hartford Courant)


 The offensive which the demo- cratic party launched during the congressional elections last year ap- parently is not to be abandoned. On the contrary, it is being carried on with greater vigor than ever, ai- though the objective toward which it is directed is almost two years in the future. If the campaign contin- ues as at present, the electorate may look forward to undemitting pOlltl- cal warfare until 1882.
 Not merely the little but the big guns are in action. The letter of AL fred F. Smith calling upon the re- publican national committee to apol- ogize for tn distribution of ques- tionable pamphlets during the sen atorial campaign in Nebraska makes plain that he does not intend to re- main in the rear during the fighting. In all probability, MT Smith does not hope to compel the committee to make formal restraction, but he has contributed to it's embarrassment by pointing out that the statement at tributed to him in the pamphlets was in fact a hoax which was ex- posed long ago. The blunder of Rob- ert H. Lucas, the executive director of the COmnltIee, III UlSITiDutilS Ibc pamphlets is not made to appear in a better light because of the letter of MT Smith, who may be depended upon not to let the public forget the discreditable misrepresentation of his views.
 Activity on other fronts takes other forms. but it is directed to the same end of making the republican marty annear the sponsor of un- worthy political methods. In his correspondence with MT Frank R. Kent, the political writer. John J. Raskob appears eager not only to refute the charge that he has thought and paid for" the demo- cratic party, but also to couple the writings of MT Kent with propa- ganda based upon religious prejudice. The spectacle of the chairman of the democratic national committee accusing the correspondent of one of the foremost journals of the demo- cratic party, the Baltimore Sun, of

Cleveland's Policy

Congressmen who are making the welkn ring with cries for federal aid to Starving farmers should be reminded of President Cleveland. On February l5 1887, President Cleveland transmitted message to the house of representatives. withholding his approval of bill Ito enable the commissioner of agri- culture to make special distribution of seeds in the drought stricken countries fof Texas) and making an appropriation therefor.' The amount of the appropriation was SlO.OOO. The president vetoed the bill because he could find no warrant in the Constitution for the extension of federal activities to the relief of individuals unrelated to the public service or benefit. He declared the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the government, the government should not support the people, The veto welcomed by popular approval.
 On January 5, l931, band of drought stricken farmers assembled in England Ar kansas, and demanded food for themselves and families Although an appropriation of $45,000,000 for the relief of the drought sufferers had been made within the previous thirty days, the senate on January 9th, with out debate or opposition. promptly voted an additional fifteen million to feed the same people.
 These incidents separted by an interval of A years, clearly contrast the democracy of Cleveland with that of Mir Hoovers time During this brief period, the nation has traveled the entire distance between limited representative government and unlimited pa ternalism Governmental support of every body, whether needed or not is prodigay supplied on rumored local discontent without an Investigation Ten thousand dollars for drought relief in dozen Texas counties was denied for lack of Constitutional power less than half century ago. Today fifteen mil lion dollars is eagerly voted by an emotional senate because evidences of revolt are reported from one smalle community in the south west.
 The interval of A years scarcely measures the distance between the democracy of MT Cleveland and that of Mir Caraway. After year of crop failures it would no doubt be difficult to interest the Arkansas farmers in Mir Clevelands theories of government Yet we venture to suggest that they would be better satisfied with opportunities to make living and provide for their own emergen- Cies.

The John J. Raskob- Frank R. Kent battle has just about reached the point where one will start calling the other nasty names. At first it seemed rather funny to see two prom
 inent democrats assaling each others party fealty. Personally we think that MT Raskob does very good job of managing the demo- cratic party, particularly its finances. We also admit that Mir Kent knows about as much about the democratic party, its past his- tory, it's ideals. etc. etc. as Claude Bowers of the New York Evening World and that's saying quite lot. As editorial and special political writer for the Baltimore Sun Mir Kent is connected with one of the leading democratic daes in the nation. That, how ever, does not make him the democratic party in himself. Of course if Mir Raskob and MT

Large and Small States

The l93O census shows that more than half of our population is located in the 10 states of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio. Texas California. Michigan, Massachusetts. New Jersey and Missouri. These great states often feel aggrieved because their power in the government is not proportionate to their population, since the constitution g yes equa! representation to all states in the senate If the constitution were to be remade entirely new, this privilege of equal representation for the small states might be modified.
 It was the feeling of the makers of the government. that such favor to the small states was necessary to prevent their being submerged among states of greater population. There is no chance that this provision will eyed be changed. It gives the small states powerful voice in national affairs. Frequently their point of view has proved nearer right than that of the populous commonwealths

The Springfield Republican notes that Cleveland Ohio, is already making plans to secure the democratic national convention of 1932 This is 193l, we must remember, and before the year has ended the party will have perfected most of its plans for the l932 offensive. Cleveland possesses probably the most ideal convention ball in the country the same one where Calvin Coolidge was nom- mated in 1924 Other than this we are in- formed Ohio is pivotal state that elected democratic senator and governor last fall. All of which will provide material for a good argument by the Buckeye state natives.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE

On Jan 15, 1891, the first locomo. tive built in America, appeared on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. II was called the Best Friend" De- signed br Adam Hall, it was built at the West Point foundry in New York city.
 The "Best Friend' had a vertical tubular boiler carried at one end o1 the horizontal platform or fram,4. while the cylinders were carried at the other end. The four wheels oc- cupied the space between the boiler and the cylinders.
 The West Point foundry built second locomotive, the "De Witt Clinton" in 1881. which was put at work on the Mohawk & Hudson railroad, now part of the New York Central and Hudson railroad.
 This second engine was very sim liar in design to the first, but, of course, possessed a number of inn provements.

such methods, is not without its amusing aspects. but MT Kent seems less the object of the attack of MT Raskob than the bigots in the re- publican party, at whom he is strik- ing over the shoulders of MT Kent.
 Such attacks as are now under way would seem to emphasize the necessity for a reorganization within the republican party So that they can be met effectively. Demonstrably, the leadership now in command. consisting of Senator Fess of Ohio and MT Lucas. is not competent to meet the situation. AS long as the republican party presents divided and demoralized front, the advant- age will lie with the democrats.
