Contemplat ing the circumstances, one is moved to ask why parents al low children to play near and with machinery? Why can't supervision or training be more adequate1 to make accidents to children less frequent? One of the ridiculous things in our government is the pres ent spectacle of Senator Reed, of Missouri, staking his fight against the Kellogg treaty to outlaw war. We do not mean that Senator Heed's opinion is necessarily ridiculous, but the fact that he is in a position' to make that opinion important to the American people. After March 4th Mr. Itecd will be come a private "citizen lie did not seek re-election and the man to whom he gave support was badly beaten in the No vember election. Rej'd is not,, therefore, an actual rep resentative of tlio people of his'stato at tlio present time. Yet because of our congressional system, he continues in office three months after voters have relegated him to the scrap heap. : The Bumo situation exists with the presidency. Cool idge, retiring, is still the chief executive during the last ses sion of the 70th congress. Hoover, popular choice of 21 million people, must keep his policies and opinions to him Belf until four months after the country has asked him to assume leadership. 'A silly system that needs correction. ' AN ATTACK ON TIIK IUIXKOARDK ! A.new attack on the outdoor hillixmrd, wiuett disligurcs j tho landscape along nearly every public road in our country, is launched by Thomas H. MacDonald, head of the bureau of public roads, in his annual .report to the secretary of agri culture. t ) Mr. MacDonald offers a new way of eliminating this nuis ance. He would have congress enact legislation so that bill boards would be. prohibited along any road constructed with the aid of federal funds. Since the mileage of roads so con structed grows greater each year, such a step would have a very wide effect. -i j The case against billboards is comprehensively stated by Mr. MacDonald. To begin with, he points out the value of the road markers and direction and danger .signals erected along public highways often depreciated by advertising blasts put close to them. ' "In many cases," he says, "such advertisements contain misleading information with regard to intermediate distances (in tho highway and the condition of the load ahead, which is belied in loss obstiusive fashion by the public signs. To the extent that they obscure or contradict or divert attention from the proper road signs, these signboards are a positive hindrance and menace to the travelling public." j Rut, after all, there are stronger, jf less utilitarian reasons , for demanding removal of the billboards, and Mr. MacDonald summarizes them thus: j "Designedly placed where thoy will receive the utmost t'.ttenlion, they frequently obscure or mar attractive roadside views and so detract fiom the pleasurable use of the high ways." . . . To come upon these blatant comnieivial a peals high on the face of a majestic cliff, marling a mountain side, or completely nbscuriug a Umuliful vista, awakens a sense of their utter incongruity. j "In practically all cases these roadside advertisements merely repent in the same form appeals that are made quite properly and insistently through other agencies. They are unnceded by. the public and of doubtful value to the adver tisers. ; Their disfigurement of the landscape is a national disgrace." ; ! HAINT-IIAI'HAKI.. Krunoe.
