NATIONAL EFFICIENCY
It will be interesting to watch
the development of the Congres
sional action on the President's
message. Just htfV a larger navy
and increased army with all the
equipment necessary for them
can be had under the present
state of our National Treasury
will be a prdBle wdrthy the
best efforts of dur statesmen. It
Is apparent to most of us that
bur present peaceable internal
war tax must be kept up inde
finitely and rrtori than likely in
creased. The demands for more
revenue must surely follow
program for A better and strong:
er national Efficiency:
Scarcely twelve months age
our President waived aside this
Idea of better preparedness, but
public opinion "hits been growing
apace, and our party leaders, be:
Ing caught dn the crest; are now
advocating greater efficiency. A
large standing army has hereto
fore been opposed by the people,
but the awful havoc ,of war has
demonstrated to us that nations
take advantage of unprepared
ness in another to make and en
force unjust demands'. We have
learned that if we are td advo
cate our own rights we must be
prepared to put some weight into
our international policy.
We are glad for Oregon's sake
that the Washington prohibition
law was upheld by the supreme
court of that state. We know
now that the will of the majority
cannot so easily be run over by
technacalities at least in the state
of Washington. !
It has always been our belief i
fiat if we have prohibition it'
should be made as near universal j
as possible, thus doing away with
the claim that one locality may j trrepored by
suffer at the expense of another.

CONVICT ROAti WORK.
J China has again sfiifted her
form of government. Jhis time
from a republic to i monarchy.
To show how q;uicklyjthings are

These representatives met and

the change was consummated.
There may be a reYolu'tiofi, but

"The use of convicts on the public
roads has passed through the period
of hysterical wnuigIB Into a period of
actually successful accomplishment
and almost universal acceptation," said
E. Btngg Wbltiu. professor of a new
course in practical penal problems at
Columbia uutvcrsitjfv,
Dr. Whithi holds tyat the underlying
mptive in convict road building must
he to secure the greatest efficiency for
the state out of Its possessions. Both
the convfcis mid the roads nre property
of the state, and the working of con
victs upon, the roads should eliminate
many elements of waste, in the admin
istration of rood and prison depart
ments. ( ,., .
"The ellicieccy of the convict oh the
road sans." lie continued, "differs
cveittly in different gangs. There is no
doubt tu my Euliid.that the application
nf the efficiency records in use at the
present time.lti the Wisconsin road
camps for free Inbor will tend even
mole perceptibly to raise the efficiency
of convict lubon ,

about Ql.OiK) miles of improved roads
is the evidence to show that this ex
penditure was not In vaifi. These roads
were built Jor the most part as a joint
state and lo;.;ul undertaking, 'bo that a
large local outlay, riot included in the
state total .was involved. At the pres
