POLITICAL ABS tit PER INCH.
YESTERDAY* ELECTION
The state primary Is over, and
suppose that everybody Is glad of it.
The defeated candidates, as well as
their supporters should take the
suit with the best grace, and
there were any bad feelings created
during the campaign the manly thing
for the parties connected with samo
la to get together, shake hands, and
be friends.
The result la not what the Journal
wished for, and really what we ex
pected. but wlah all choaen candi
dates the greatest success, and hope
that if at any time wc can be of ser
vice to any of them that they will feel
free to call upon ua.
YAH E OP KOAP DRAGGIXG.
The editor of the Journal yesterday
had the experience of driving an au
tomobile over sand-clay roads that
have been regularly dragged, and oth
ers that have not been dragged, and
we were so Impressed with the expe
rience that we feel called upon to call
attention to the great value of the
split-log drag.
The frequent rains during the -past
two weeks have made sand-clay road*
that havo not been dragged almost
Impassible, while that which has been
dragged by the county aro In fln^
shape, notwithstanding the exccssiv**
rain. Automobiles and other vehi
cles can make good time, and carrv
heavy loada over .the country roads
that have been dragged, while the
city streets and country roads that
have been left without any care make
traffic a burden.
JAFAX-GERMAX t’LTIMATI’8.
The ultimatum cent by Japan to
Germany le the latest and moat dis
turbing element In the war situation.
This ultimatum Is very serious In
that It Injects another element Into
the war, and will no doubt bring Ja
pan Into the fight, particularly In the
Far East. The lessening of the num
ber of peaceful powers adds to the
gravity of the aitautlon, and makes
the outlook all the more complicated
and gloomy.
Much pressure has doubtless been
brought to bear on America to hav.
ber take some action as to the Orl
ent, and assert what she might term
ber rtgbla In the Fart East, llut the
American government baa remained
firm In Its attitude of neutrality, and
In Its determination to do nothing
that would give cither belligerent na
tion a nail on which to hang an ex
cuse for a demand, or to make an
open rupture.
The pressure that caused Japan to
take the action she did was doubtless
heavy, and placed the little brown
mea In a position where they were
forced to make a declaration one way
or the other. That they did Is no con
cent of ours as a nation, and, we hav>
neither, legal, moral nor technical
right to question what they have done
nor to question their motives for do
Img It If Japan and Germany become
Involved. It la certainly a thing to be
regretted, and a new phase of the alt
nation that makes the war more com
plex and disturbing.
But America's part le the part of
pence. America, as g nation. Is not
Concerned with what other nations
aro doing between themselves.
The Washington government la
; a wise and able course.—At-
year they amount to some forty-three
million dollar*, nud slut* 191* L*e>
have Increased thirteen million*.
I^ocal road appropriation*, that la
to say expenditure* by countie* and
i towns, have risen from seventy-five
million dollars In 1904 to one hundred
and sixty-six and a quarter million
In 1913. The aggregate fund for
Slate and local road work now ex
ceeds two hundred and six million
dollars.
During the period of this remark-
tble Increase In highway funds, there
been a noteworthy Improvement
In highway supervision. Taxpayers
learned that It Is unwise to vot*
bonds, or In any other way to appro
priate money for road purposes, un
less the money Is administered by
scientific, businesslike methods. Th'y
have learned that roads must bo built
and maintained systematically, If due
suits are to follow, and that there
must be some central agency through
lilch the various local activities can
be directed and made co-ordinate.
Thus we And that only seven States
■e now without a State highway de
partment. devoted to the guidance
and aid of Che counties. A decade ago
there were only six State highway
commissions In the entire Union. Tin
highway commission has given Im
pulse to road building, has stimulat
'd popular Interest, and at the same
time. It has brought economy, effi
ciency and more lasting results. In
discussing a recent report on this
subject by the national Department
of Agriculture, the New York Even
ing Host says:
Many -States have learned that all
progress depends on laying out a sys
tem connecting the large centers for
primary attention; a system connect
ing county seat* for secondary atten
tion; and a final syatem of local road*
for mere general supervision. The
experience of Ohio, as brought out
last winter In the hearing before the
House Committee on Good Roads. Is
typical of the advanced States. Up
to 1904 she had groped without
plan, under laws which enabled tho
rich urban counties, as Cuyahoga, to
build excellent roads, but left the ru
ral counties deep In mud. In 1904 the
State Highway Department
ated. and after n period of Ineffective
bocatiHc unro-ordinated, assistance to
the counties, began work In 1911 on
Inter-county system. Tlmt system,
by legislative action baaed on expert
surveys, bus been defined as 9,300
miles-11 per cent of all the State
highway*—Joining all considerable
cities. Not until It aud a supplemen
tary system of market roads are fin
ished can State funds la? used for oth
er stretches.
A Stato highway commission Is un
doubtedly essential to satisfactory
road building and to Just returns
uptm the taxpayers' money. Georgia
Is one of the seven States which lag
behind the country's thought au£jQ£
terprlse In this regard. It was earn
estly hoped that this condition would
be remedied at the recent session of
the Legislature. Three hills looking
the establishment of a State High
way Department were Introduced,
and It was also urged that the Prison
Commission be provided with suffi
cient funds to aid and supervise road
building. Unfortunately. none of
these measures waa adopted.
It U evident, however, that public
sentiment In Ueorgla la alert to this
Important taaue. The friends of the
good-roada cause should continue
their Insistence upon the creation of
n State highway department; they
will Inevitably win. for they are
right.—Atlanta Journal.
