Woodrow Wilson is president and is responsible ts the American Deople for his conduct of the office, and not to Mr. Roosevelt individually. The president has made mistake«, aa stated above. Possibly he could replace some of his cabinet officers with men more to Mr. Roosevelt’s liking. But as he is responsible to the country for both the acts of himself and subordinates, he will hardly consult the Colonel’s wishes in the matter. Anyway, where can he get experienced men? Nor waa Colonel Roose veil’s pres idency free from mistakes. When he gave hia consent to the United States Steel Corporation to literally rob the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, he committed an act much more heinous in the eyes of the people than anything Pnsskioot Wil-( IT IS TOO LATE, GOVERNOR Governor Withycomlie came out in a newspaper article last week, ad vising the state road commission to cease road paving until after the war is over, assigning as the reason the high cost of material and labor, ami that the work would be needed for the soldier boys when they re turn. Certainly, the governor’s conclusions are right, but his advice is nearly two years late, The milk has already been spilled and it can not be recovered. Governor Withycombe had the opportunity to have pul a quietus upon the issue of road bonds when the measure was placed in his hands for his signature. He was then in a position to dictate terms to the road paving crowd. He did require that the measure should be submitted to the people fzr their endorsement. But he should have gone a step further and required a clause in ' serted in the measure that the lx>nds should not be sold at leas than par This would have defended the credit throughout the civilized world now know more about the geography of France, the location of her rivers and cities than could have been brought about by any other possible means. Manv people in the world did not know there was such a river as the Marne, or if they had heard of it. they did not know in what country it was located. Now they know it ia in northern France and that it flows in a general wester!» direction. There is an excellent reason why this knowledge is sought; for many American families are represented somewhere on the four or five hun dred miles ttattle line, extending from the North sea to the Alps mountains. We follow every move ment of our troops, from town to town, etc., so that we in a measure become familiar with the unpro nounceable name*] French towns.
