GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS The Honorable (Jordon lee of Geor gia In his speech before the house on government aid for roads made th" claim that the lon* neglected farm - eFs turn has com*. The tariff and banking laws have discriminated against the farmer and the persistent handicap on agricultural pursuits has finally resulted In drslnlng the goun try of Its ambitions and llfe-lovlmt young men, who are drawn to the cities. The Back to the Farm movement t» checking this to a certain extent, hut until we realise that the farma are thy main source of the whole nation's wealth and set to work studiously and carefully to develops the riches which the earth holds, this tinlisppy flow of youth and vitality toward the cities will continue. « In III* *peech Mr. I,*c pn|nt*d out that h h the railroad* took the place of military and pout roada the govern ment withdrew from road building hut now with the eiilamnon of the postal system with Its rural deliveries and It* parrel post, road building becomes a logical duty of the central govern ment. Thus, says Mr. I.ee. good roads through the state* are needed for the government's business, and It follows from this that the federal government should lend Its encouragement to the work of all the people. Where rail road* extend thay carry the matla. but tha rural carrlera go where there are no railroads. If a community away from the railroads needs a post office, one la eatabllshed. The federal gov ernment does not tell the people of such community to build a railroad or do without mall lactltllea, and It should not tell a section that needs rural delivery route with access to the parcel post that goes with It to build a hard road or do without the veniences of rural delivery.

And of the suicide and the failure there \va» but one ex plan atlon—drink. It la not good to lie about drink, and like everything else In the world drinking la compui alive. Borne men's constitutions w ill with aland an appalling quantity of al cohol. Some men can drink pret ty hard and pretty steadily, and yet succeed. Many men can drink moderately without ruining them selves. It 1* true, however. Unit drink la a great handicap. Whoever drink* habitually undertakes to win in a stiff race with n hun dred-pound weight strapped to hta back. Poaaibly he can do It; but that is a poor conditon for racing. To drink Is to erect a harrier U> opportunity—to set up hurdles for yourself to jump. Liquor greases the w-aya for all other vices. The experienced em ployer hardens hi* heart against the young man whose breath smells of whiskey—not because he Is sen timental, or even moral, but be cguse he does not want handicap ped men on his force. This la an editorial from The Sat urday Evening Post, which has been aant to us from one of our readers with' the opinion that It should be In all the school readers and posted In targe letters tn every "little red school house In the nation.'* The man who wants to see this printed In The Her ald suggests that If our school text hooks were written so as to Inculcate Information which would he valuable in later life to puplla. Instead of glory ing tn the feats of those who by the mastery of the art of war have been handed down through the sges as sci entific human butchers, and worthy of emulation, they would not so easily be duped by the snares of King Alco hol, "who greases the ways for all other vices." While we would not deprive the youth of our country of the historic (ales of heroism and patriotic ski 0 flee, which they learn at school, yet wo agree that young minds would profit by la-lug brought to see and know the plain truth about the snsrej am) ('itfall* of life*.

To the women God bless cm * dois the community look wore thnii to the men tor leadership In many movements milking for the eslhetli devlcopment and material advance* msnt of the town, and th. season of woman's work to better living condi tions and the community welfare Is nigh at hand with the coming of toe birds northward und the bursting or the green leaves under sod and upon Perhaps the men arc too busy with thrlr own affairs to notice the needs of the town. The women, "whose work In never done,” offer that civic slcrtness missing In the sterner sey. Moreover, the fair sex Is by nature a helping sex ami realises Its oppor tunity to help the community, the result Is women's campaigns for play grounds. parks, recreation, fly swat ting, pur.* food and clean milk, vacant lot gardening and clean-up days. Women's work In a town deals with those things which make llfu more worth living It seeks tn provide com forts. health, recreation nml the mentis for happln. s It develops edu cation, "pens Hchools for neighbor hood meetings and elevates the city end society, .lust us the Indies are needed In the homes they sre needed In Clteraw lo make It brighter, nml, bless 'em. they have b.-en doing It.

Of the 291 democrats in the house ol representatives 254 were present nnd voting In the first test of strength be tween 1 'resident Wilson and the Clark- Hearst-Murphy-Tammany-subsldy al liance. Of these 254 democrats 199 voted with President Wilson and 55 voted with the t'lark-Hearst- Murphy-Tam many-subsidy combination. of these 55 democratic votes Tam many delivered 11. including the vote of Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, who •man aged the Tammany coalition with Un cle Joe Cannon five years ago. Champ Clark wits able to deliver only one member of the Missouri delegation, and nobody from Alabama followed Oscar Underwood. Conspicuous among the democrats arrayed with the <'lark-Hearst-Mttr plty-Tammany-subsidy forces against President Wilson was McDermott, the stockyards congressman from Chicago, who was Implicated in the Mulhall lobby charges and has Just been cen sured by a sub-commlttce of the house. After all their lying, all their abuse, all their misrepresentation, all their demagogy, ull their appeals to race hatred and national perfidy, the old Baltimore convention crowd could mus ter only one-fifth of the democrats In the house against the president.
