This is the time of the year when con struction work is light and the more work that can be brought about the better. There are men who need the work but they will not be the only gainers by early action. The county can naturally build roads more eco nomicaJly when work is slack and teams and men are plentiful than it can during the busier months of the Tear. As to the need of the work In question It Is enough to say that It Is a marvel why the county has endur ed the present condition this long and it Is even more marvelous that no fa tal accidents have occurred at that double curve leading to the bridge. With so much exaggerated criti cism of our navy going the rounds It is refreshing to hear n dm on something that w as Triplu Thinks, spoken before the war broke out and when our warships were not general ly regarded as Junk, even by our pres ent day Jlngolsts. "Ship for ship, man for man, I con sider that the American outclasses the Japanese navy. In fact I doubt if it Is surpassed by that of any na tion. Tour navy has kept well In view the object and purpose for which It was built." This utterance was by a man who is Just now considerable in the war gome in Europe Admiral von Trip its of the Germany navy. Either he is part Irish or he holds a better opinion of our seafighters than do some of our armament ehouters. Not only in the northwest but in other portions of the country as well are people giving ear Value of nest study to the WaU Routes, subject of water transportation. The crop of the middle west this year went to the Atlantic seaboard largely by water. According to the annual report of the collector of customs at the port of Chicago, given by the News, extra ordinary amounts of wheat, oats and flour have been shipped east by the great lakes water route during the year 1)14. The wheat shipments from Chicago in that period are said to have been as great as were those in the four preceding years combined The demand for foodstuffs on uccount of the European war explains the lieavy shipments of grain and flour In recent months. The movement of other commodities by water has been less than usual since the beginning of the war. When the new Erie canal is com I leted much grain naturally will move !V muter till the way to the Atlantic Secretary of the Navy Daniels Is correct when he says that "the voice of the swashbuckling Swashbuckling Jingo is heard in the Jingoes. land." That voice Is very loud, and crieth in the wilderness or the Hearst pa pers. Wherefore, "Mr. Hearst"' Is much Incensed with Secretary Dan iels for his remark concerning the "swashbuckling Jingo." So are other swashbuckling Jingoes,, and the mili tarists, as well as the manufacturers of guns, gunpowder, armor-plate and other stuff of "preparedness for war." The Jingoes are well organized.! There is plenty of money behind them, and there la no doubt as to the source of that money. The Krupp murder factory In Germany is pay ing dividends that make the wish bone of American gun, armor-plate and powder manufacturers swell with a great hope. Militarism means mil lions of dollars of The People's money handed over to those who find great profits In "preparedness for war." The War Trust can well afford to fl nanca a campaign for more battle ships, more guns, more preparedness and an army of half a million men. And one question very naturally arises: "How much is Hearst getting for his activities in behalf of a big navy and a big army?" Remember ing his $30,000 contract to deal fair ly with the Southern Pacific though the full amount was never paid, be cause Hearst didn't have the influ ence it was thought he had that question is very pertinent at this time, as It always la when Hearst becomes active. San Francisco Star. tens of a neighboring nation, and de- manded the right to take u hand in their forcible suppression, especially if they had belonged to one of the minor Palkan statea. Oberdnnk was a deserter from the Austrian army who, through his Ital ian sympathies because of Austria's retention of Trieste, turned assassin. But Italy's position as the third mem ber of the Triple Alliance, and religi ous observance of neutrality, natur ally entitled It to special privileges. If patriotic Italians choose to cele brate Oberdank's memory as a hero and martyr to a cause still dear to them, why should Austria protest or the government at Rome interfere? At the same time the attitude of the Italion government. In spite of all temptation, is always severely correct, j If Fremler Salandra addresses the senate, he plainly announces thatltS when the time is ripe, with Its rights i r3 and ttiA nower nf It arms tn r,f.,,-o, I ci them, the country will be enlarged. Italians may be led to believe he has Austria In mind, but as the head of a neutral government he has pre served the proprieties without disre garding the political requirements of home. T 3 .
