FRIDAY. FEB. U ANATIOXALDEFEXSE. ROAD A hill was introtluce'l in Con gress last Deoeinher by Win D Stephens of California author- j izing the President to construct' and maintain a National De- fetise Highway, commencing at Los Angeles and traversing the country east to Jacksonville, Florida, and thence northeaster ly to New York, from which place it would goon to Portland, Maine, and then returning to New York, westward near the northern border of the United States to Seattle, and thence southward to Los Angeles. Such a highway would be a great undertaking but not near ly so great as whs the Panama s i i t lantu, ana perhaps no one stretch of it nearly as great as that much railway, but it would make employment for many years for a large force of men and would certainly prove very beneficial in many ways and certainly would be great if this nation should become in volved with other nations. Oh I but says one: It would only become a public run for the rich people who are aide to take long rides in their automo biles. It is true the automohilist would find such road a very de sirable place to travel and would use it whenever it could be done but the autoist will travel any way and if one road does not suit him he will take some other course. J!eside8 such highway would he of great benefit to each community through which it passed. Every country should, sooner or later, look forward to the con struction of permanent high ways, so that the everlasting waste of making temporary im provements censo. Vo have seen several day's labor put in in repairing places in highways and the roadway left in such condition that the next hard rain would wash it all out. It pays any country or terri tory to have good highways. Should the country wait to construct such roads until it was forced by necessity to push it through at once it would cost more than if built at leisure. BETTER OR WORSE, WHICH! The Chicago police are search ing for one Jean Crones who is thought to have been guilty of poisoning soup for Archbishop's Mundeliens banquet with in tent to murder 300 guests. The plot failed but about 100 of the guests were made sick, but all have recovered. The police now think that they have dis covered a plot by which a gang of anarchists of whom Crones is supposed to be the leader, in tended to destroy numerous ftnd wiwr ex-1 U tit. ,v .;.wory or ,vk I1 in ;l i true the rw. it .'!.(' r.t p. 1.1.

Now there is talk of sending out more missionaries, hutwhere should they be sent? to Japan or China while the Christian countries of Europe are em broiled in war and each trying to murder the other? No, veri ly that Christians are cutting each other's throats will not have a very Christianizing effect upon the heathen neither will it help the disbeliever. Send out more missionaries, yes, they should go but unless they go clothed with the author ity and power they had in the days of the apostles, Peter, John, Paul etc., they will not succeed, "For except the Lord build the house they labor in vain who build it." We believe that many persons are growing better but when we take an observation abroad there is an appalling number,, who are steeped in crime and who will not hesitate to commit any outrage against civilized society, and conditions are growing worse, The President's Tour President Wilson's recent speech making tour has been one continuous ovation from the time he began in New York, un til he returned to Washington from the West. If anyone had a doubt as to the power of the hold that Presi dent Wilson bus on the people of this country, that doubt was surely dispelled by this trip. The President was more than delighted to find such an over whelming volume of enthusiasm at Milwaukee, which is the great est strong-hold of German blood in the United States. It was most gratifying to him to know that these people are Americans first; and Germans afterwards. President Wilson has thor oughly aroused the country with the importance of preparedness against War. The United States would have been involved in war with European countries he- fore now if it had not been that they were too busy preparing for the present war. When this war is over, and those countries (Hiding themselves burdened with a heavy debt, as it is now, one or more or possibly all of them may come over here and attack us and endeavor to get away with a heavy indemnity. Defenselessness invites attack. The United States Coast De fenses would not last two weeks before the powerful guns carried by the navies of Germany, Japan and others.- Louis D. Brandeis and tht Senate It is reported that the United States Senate is shocked because President Wilson has sent in the name of Louis I). Brandeis for confirmation, as a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Prandeis has shown himself not only a great lawyer, but one of the greatest thinkers in the country today, ami he thinks on the side of the peoide, a little bit more than he does about the corporations. For this reason the United States Senate is shocked to think that President Wilson has appointed a Judge to serve the "people and justice" instead of the corpora tions. When the Russian Duma passes a law if the Czar does not like it, he simply vetoes it, and that ends it. When the United States Congress passes a law, and the President signs it, it then becomes a law; but the Supreme Court of the United States can declare the law un constitutional if they choose to do so, so therefore, the Supreme Court of the United States has the same veto power in this country that the Czar has in Russia; and for these reasons it is of utmost importance that only men of sterling patriotism be placed upon the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court is our Czar Wall street is mov ing Heaven and Earth in its efforts to prevent its confirma tion by the Senate. However, it is believed that the name will be confirmed, by the Senate when it is voted upon because every U. S. Senator who votes against confirmation stamps himself as a servile tool of cor poration and an enemy of social justice. Woodrow is not only talking, he's saying something. ' And where is the old-fashioned girl that used to knit socks for the Belgians? Those Filipinos are just be ginning to see another angle to his "new freedom" business. Bread may be as cheap as Berlin claims, but the bakers don't seem to have heard of it. No wonder the infuriated Mexicans captured two of our soldiers. They saw 'em taking a bath. Doc. Cook says there are no wild men in Borneo. Evidently the Doc didn't deliver this lee ture there. Current "Life" is a John Bull number, thus disposing of the theory that the Teutons had got his number. Wilhel-.n's western drive be gan coincidently with Woodrow, but it won't end after the same old fashion. Wall Street is unanimous against the appointment of Louis D Brandeis. That settles it. He must be a corker. Any summoning of the na tions' manhood to arras will probably receive the warm co operation of the eligible spin sters. Austrian Government signs itself "I and R."
