A very singular combination of confidence and perplexity prevails In business circles. Confidence is gen erally strong, partly because war has bred a spirit of courage that animal nearly all men. Difficulties that be fore the war would have produced depression and lower prices are now faced with a determination to over c .. -i a.l obstacles, whh is a veo decisive factor in recuperation, says the Clews Financial Review. Sen timent is usually regarded as an element that does not exist in bus iness; yet it makes a vast difference, whether fear or confidence is the ruiiug spirit, and fortunately the latter dominates opinion, not only in the United States, but also in Great Britain, the two leading industrial powers of the world. So long as U.i. .no nations possess the abiliiy and the initiative to go ahead, as they unquestionably do, there is nc reason to fear that the war will have anything approaching the depressing efiocts once anticipated. It must be remembered that the world is infi ll; ,c ekseiw related than ever before, and that the resources and re cuperating powers of the chief na tions were never so easy to marshal as a unit in the work of regeneration as at present. It is quite evident therefore that there will be inter national co-operation in the work of reconstruction. The production of rt ...eriais and the distribution of finished products cannot be left to haphazard and speculative designs; but must be guided by temporary government control, with a viow of avoiding waste of concentrating energy, of stimulating efficiency and of restraining inflation or specula tion by united economic methods. 1 t ROADS FOR WAR AND ROADS FOR PEACE What better time than now to inaugurate a widespread, vigorous road program? From the county to the nation, why should not the good roads movement take a new and practical Impulse? We hope that when peace is made it will be made on the basis to avoid all future war, yet between the hope and the realization, time at least in tervenes; and no man can tell wheth er or not the hope is to be realized as a result of the pending peace conference. In France and Belgium and Ger many we have bean taught the value of good reads in war. It is, perhaps no exaggeration to say that for the freedom of the world they saved the day in Fiance. Ai we read the rec ord of campaigns in that country, we can but realize how essential the good roads were to the ' marvelous laow.uaiion of Freitf.li troops which turned back from Paris the first flood cf Hun invasion. The further wd su.,uia analyze the practical con duct oi French campaigns, the inure would we be convinced that good roadrj was one of tRe vital factors in successful Frtsiich resistance to the Hun. Lut in peace more than in war lies the argument for the construc tion of the bc.it of road throughout the country. As a matter of imme diate coiibideration we come first to the fjod of initii.si.nal shock absorp tion iii gtuing down to the adjust ment;; ,vhuh piace will bring about We must provide for labor by the in auguration of every public work, the resul; of which will give assurance of economic service in our further industrial development. There Is no puoii - woi'K we have in mind at this time which mure effectually does this than good roads. The good roads problem is na tional, state-wide and applicable to eveiy country. The time is ripe for congress, for state legislatures slnd county governments to consider it a::d not only consider it, but get action on it at once. The time is ripe when, through organized effort, there shall be brought about the fullest possible co-operation and co ordination between federal, state and county agencies of road building. A comprehensive road program, local, state and national, would fit into our present need, and would lay the foundation of activities of vital service In the reconstruction work that is before us as a people. Tel egram. tt IXIYK will lift the burden Those who are really never happy until they discover something to worry about are Just now telling of the woe to come when the millions of men come back from war seeking the places the women have taken. Even a war of sexes that old bogy that maiden aunts and grouchy bachelors frpt over is seen looming. Its black flas'of piracy in the offlng. We doubt It. Maybe because wo believe there are so many folks like this couple we are going to tell you about. The man is a young successful dentist. He is just hitting his professional stride, and his wife has furs, and a coupe, and a nice bungalow. Some years ago, when they mar ried, he was just beginnlug his college course. She was a well paid saleswoman. For four years after marriage she kept on the job, and supported him through his course. Then she kept right on until he had his office equipped and enough patronage to provide a living. Then she rested from her labors; they had a baby; within a couple of ears started to build their home nest, and, as his success increased, her leisure and comforts did too. That is the natural, helpful course that right thinking men and women will choose when conditions are favorable, and not one woman in fifty will prefer the office, the factory, the desk, or the clerkship if she can have a home of her own, babies of her own to cuddle, and a man who loves her. Woman's rights and feminism and equality before the law, and at the polls, and all the rest of it do not Jiauge real human nature, and as long as baby's soft fingers caressing mother's cheek retain their heart ,,ull, so long will there be no real sex problems to trouble us. Or so we believe. tt ADDS TO FARM PROFITS From different sections of the country come signs that the sheep industry is coming back strong with the renewed interest in wool and mutton production. Sheep are stop-gaps on the farm. They are weed and waste devourers. Practical, hard-headed farmers years ago discovered that they could main tain quite a flock of sheep on their farms t with no apparent loss of sup port of other lines of livestock. The fall of the year is the proper iiue to get into the business of grow ing sheep. The beginner usually has best success if he will get a few head of good grade ewes, and a purebred ram of the breed he favors. The oreed to choose is less important than the excellence of Individuals of the breed. Better start with a few ewes and grow into the business. With good care sheep Increase rapidly. In a few years a good bunch of ewes can be grown from a small start. DOESN'T HE MAKE YOU TIRED? The moody, morose, pessimistic individual, who does little good for himself or any one else. He con tinually looks on the dark side of life and can only see the worst of everything. In his eyes nobody is right. The churches are all going to the bad; his neighbors are bad. business men are badV-everybody and everything is bad. This sort ot a fellow usually lives all over the country first at one place, then at another and has little influence any- where. Of course he soon tires out with everybody and everybody geis tiled of him. Eut regardless of such there is still much good in the world and it is a pretty good place to live. John D. itockefeiier, Jr., recently outlined a plan for industrial har mony in an address before the War emergency and Reconstruction Con ference at Atlantic City, no de clared "the four parties to industry" to be "capital, management, labor and the community." lie asserted also that capital and labor are par tners, wjth common interests, and not enemies, and lhat each should j be adequately represented in making for the welfare of each. He expressed himself as profoundly" believing that working and living conditions "ought to have time, not alone for food and sleep, but also for recrea tion and the development of the higher things of life." Coming from a man of Mr. Rockefeller's intelli gence and sincerety, these words should have great weight in these reconstruction times. HOBO LIBERTY. Large regions of the world todav are trying to prove that man can be fed and happy without Ideals, au-' thority or reverence. After said regions starve a while and discover anew the truth of the texth: "iiy the sweat of your brow shall ye eat" their madness will take the place of oratory and pillage., Russia, portions of Germany ana various other sections are trying to gain comfort and happiness without paying. I The American hobo came nearer being contented without labor, ideals, or acknowledged authority than any other class ever did; and yet the American tramp, In the last analysis, was merely a dirty, vermiu infested, half-fed parasite, existing through the laxity of police, and I upon the charity of the workers, t who provided the "back door fiand j outs," and the occasional dime "mooched on the de main stem." The unwashed dreamers will al ways discover that comfort Is an unnatural state for mankind. That food, clothing, fires, houses, fertile acres, . the invention ' and luxuries of the race come through effort, constant and well applied effort. The native state ot man la the savage state; competing with the boasts for his bones to gnaw, and his skins to wrap himself in. The nearer a man approaches the state of Idleness, and hatred of all authority bat his own desires, the lower he sinks In the slough from which his ancestors so tollfully emerged, and the more ' uncomfor table he becomes. Productive labor Is the foundation of all human happiness, and our revolutionised world should no more have a place for the red flag loafer, than it should have for the dainty idler supported by the interest on the heaped-up stealings cf his an cestors. The Puritan Jaw that those who work not, eat not, should be a fundamental constitutional precept in every country under the sun. ALL TIRED OUT, Hundreds More in Heppncr in the Some Plight.
