THE BONDING PLAN IS
RIGHT.
' : ;y as tht allies are trying to
, t "ttlo up (.lemar.y. If the Ger
mans h;ul an effective block-
i sule apainst English commerce
('em; any would not want the
! I'nited States to use the mailed
list to see that American ship
ments were allowed to go
through.
It is not of vital consequence
to this nation whether or not
American shipments are per
mitted to certain European na
tions. The issue is more press
ing on the purchasing nation
than upon us. Let the purchas
er nation or nations deal with
those who interrupt their com
merce. In saying it is up to
this country to make the Brit
ish allow American shipments
the Berlin govern
mer.t is unreasonable for it is
nothing more nor less than a
request that Uncle Sam be a
catspaw to rake German chest
nuts from the English fire.
The Washington government
is justified in refusing to get
this country into any such pre
dicament. Our logical atti
tude is that the United States
will sell goods to those who
have the price with which to
pay but we do not guarantee
delivery in such times as these,
though we will do all we can
to facilitate matters along that
line.
In taking this course Presi
dent Wilson simply follows the
dictates of common sense and
he will have the support of the
American public despite the
carpings of a few newspapers
that imagine they are in duty
bound to slur the administra-
Tf X voting to make use of the
Jl countv bonding law the ! tion at every opportunity
gooa roaas association act
ed wisely. It is the only way
through which real results can
be obtained.
It would be impossible to
carry out any big highway
work with regular road funds.
Even if a very high road tax
should be imposed by the coun
ty court it would provide only
partially for the county's
needs. There would then in
sue a squabble as to which sec
tion should get the money and
sectional squabbles do not aid
the good roads movement.
There are further reasons
why the use of regular tax
money is impractical. The levy
for this year is already made
and it will be a year before an
other levy can be made. Thus
valuable time would be lost
were that course to be taken.
Another reason why the
bonding plan is better than the
regular tax plan is found in the
fact the burden will be distrib
uted over many years' time and
will be easily borne. This fea
ture may not be of great conse
quence to people in the wheat
belt where the land has long
been productive. But it is of
consequence to people in the ir
rigated district in the west end
of the county and to many ir
rigation farmers in the east
end. There are hundreds of
such settlers who are just get
ting their land to producing.
They do not want higher taxes
now. They will be more able
to meet tax payments in the
future than at present.
Through a bond issue a com
prehensive good roads cam
paign fair and satisfactory to
all sections can be carried out.
The bonding plan will provide
a hard surface road to the river
and it is what must be built if
freight reductions are to be se
cured. The course taken by
the newly formed good road3
association leads to good roads
and lower freight rates. It
means business and that is the
only way to take up the subject.
WE
SELL BUT DON'T
LIVER.
DE-
3T is evident the German
protest as to our action re
garding shipments of food
stuffs to Germany is chiefly di
plomatic talk. Certainly there
is no ground for anything more
than a perfunctory complaint.
The United States is treating
all nations exactly alike. We
will sell any of them anything
they want but the proposition
of getting the goods to their
destination is up to the pur
chaser. We sell foodstuffs and war
munitions to the allies. If the
Germans don't like it let them
raid the seas and stop the traf
fic. We sell foodstuffs and
war munitions to the Germans
and the English have the priv
ilege of stopping such com
merce if they can.
All the world knows that if
the Germans could do so they
would bottle up the allies ex-

N the course of a very in
teresting little article en
titled, "Your Children's
Manners," in the May Wom
any's Home Companion ap
pears the following wise com
ment: "Good company manners de
pend upon good home man
ners. As for table manners.
the active child who from his
earliest years has been accus
tomed to regular meals of
simple food with sufficient va
riety for his health and pleas
ure will be hungry enough at
mealtime to eat anything that
is put before him. If from the
beginning he has been encour
aged by example, then good
table manners will be as natur
al as breathing. They will be
a part of him, and he - will
make use of them wherever he
is.
"The place for a parent to
begin training the manners of
her child is with her own man
ners. Whenever a mother
complains to me of the bad
manners of her child she is un
consciously lodging a complaint
against herself as a mother. Of
course a certain amount of bois
terousness and willfulness is to
be expected, and hoped for, in
the child; but bad manners
spring almost invariably from
the careless, lack of consider
ation, artificial ideals, lack of
time many busy mothers, it is
true cannot give the time they
wish to their children of those
who are responsible for the
child's training.
"The old ideal of training in
behavior was based largely up
on the principle of the child's
consideration for its elders; the
modern principle demands also
the elders' consideration for
the child."

THE BANISHMENT OF
BOOZE.
m
(From the Atlanta Constitution.)
Rent hv strife that Is reddening its
rivers with blood, Europe presents,
upon at least one subject, a remark
able oleture of unanimity: Germany
and England, Austria' and Russia,
nd even one-time ray France, are
all agreed that booze must go. And
en Uncle Sam Is becoming an any
this crusade!
I.inuor has been decreed the one
great outlaw and pirate of the war.
took the war to demonstrate mai
tore in no nlace for It In the con
servation of nations and their com-
prri.il emanslon.
Omitting moral and physical as-
nects as affecting individuals ana
aggregates of Individuals, the business
side of it has awakened rulers and
ipadera nf men to the national dan
ger in booze and they have issued
their decrees against It
The liquor problem wag brougnt
home to emperors and kings ana
statesmen when they studied the
flehtlne Qualities of their men: the
evidence stood out in bold relief be
fore them. France took the prelim
inary step In the ban put upon ab
sinthe. Russia went all the way,
rlvlnr tin millions of revenue in the
abolition of vodka and the closing of
the saloons. Germany and Austria
are drawing the reins tighter upon
the liquor traffic, while in Engiana,
where King George and Lord Kitch
ener hnv net the example by per
sonal and family abstinence, the tav.
and the saloon are making their
last stand.
European sentiment against booze
has struck deeper than a desire to
win momentary victory on the battle
field. It has gone back to the ques
tion of the victories of peace the
victory of the counting house, the
corporation office, the shop, of com
merce In all Its extent and varied as
pects. If liquor makes a poor sol
dier, a poor battalion or regiment,
how much more easily does It make a
poor fighter in the business ranks?
How much more will It deplete and
Injure the effectiveness of the great
commercial army which at last em
bodies the very life of the nation?
Moral aspects there are. It Is true,
and they have their great weight.
But these at last, must be determined
and applied by the Individual. It is
evidence of undermining the life of
the nation itself, that has produced
the awakening.
The European war has shown more
than anything else that there Is no
place for booie in national develop
ment and growth; and upon the evi
dence its banishment has been de
creed. The horrible . bloodshed of
which this war has been productive
is deplored of all nations and all peo
ples. But if the outcome of it shall
be the banishment of the bottle, it
will have rendereS so great a ser
vice to humanity that the blood will
not have been spilled in vain.

The part that electricity plays In
making a city attractive by nlghc
was demonstrated Saturday night
when rractlcally all of the merchants
who maintain ornamental post lights
in front of their stores shut off the
current. The effect of dimness and
darkness whs designed to show the
councilmen of the city what to ex
pect In the event that a petition,
asking for the maintenance of post
lights by the city, is turned down.
Probably at the next meeting of the
council the petition, liberally signed
by business men, will he presented
for the consideration of the council.
At present such ornamental poles as
are on the streets are owned by the
merchants and are maintained by
them at a cost of 12.(5 per pole of
three lights. After raying for tw
years for maintaining the lights, the
merchants have come to the conclu
sion that It Is the city's duty to ae
that the principal streets are proper
ly lighted and they will so hold iu
their position.
At present the city maintains an
arc Ileht at each Intersection on tne
main streets but without the help of
privately owned lights, the Illumina
tion would be very Poor. The busi
ness men will ask that four orna
mental posts to the block be main
tained on each side of the street In
the business district. Most of thosj
who now have such posts declare
they will donate those they have to
the city, thus saving them the Initial
cost of J8a each. At present there is
no uniformity in the arrangement of
the posts, one block being brilliantly
illuminated and the next having but
little light. This system would be
eliminated If the petition of the mer
chants Is granted.
Many residents as well as strangers
in the city remarked how poorly
lighted the streets were on Saturday
evening and the business men felt
that the appearance of the streets
with only the arc lights will be one
of their strongest arguments.
