ECONOMY DEMANDS GOOD ROADS
IlILL the United States stop building motor cars,
V close up its factories and return to horse-drawn
vehicles?
Absurd, question ! Yet there is only one alternative;
if we are not to lose the economy and social benefits of
motor transportation, we must supply roads upon which
the power vehicles may run.
It is impossible to separate the water from the
wave, the gold from the bracelet, or the track from the
locomotive. It is equally impossible to separate the
road from the tracks, or the passenger car from the
highway. They are halves of a whole; transportation
is never vehicle alone, or highway alone ; it is both to
gether. . .... ,
Our roads were planned and built for a means of
transportation which is gone. The earliest highways
were for horse riders, the stagecoach came next, after
which we had the buggy and -the wagon. The narrow
road, the steep grade, the soft surface were all admiss
able for these; none of them are economic for the swift
and powerful motor. . -
We have "improved" our highways some of them
and widened a few, but we still build-a road, with the
idea that it will "last" but a few years, and need "con-
etanr mnnirc " Wo ctill rvuilrl in w-ifltria nrfrlifJitff1 linnn

That era is gone! The new one is firmly here. We
must either build our roads for. our modern vehicles,
or scrap motor transportation. 'As the latter is unthink
ably absurd, it seems logical to believe that the era of
the wide, expensive, permanent hard surface road is

THE STORY OF
IT will be a long lime before the world ceases to talk
about the murder of Edith Cavell by the Germans
and the Oakland members of the Steuben Society of
America wno nave oojeciea to teuing scnooi cmiaren
the story of the English nurse may as well realize that j
fact uennany committed many shocking crimes during
the war, and one of the most shocking was the shooting
of Miss CavelL In the popular imagination this official
murder, together with the invasion of Belgium and the
sinking of the Lusitania will stick as examples of the
ruthlessness of the German national character until that
character Is shown to have changed.
It is right that the facts of histoiy should be told,
and that the lessons to be drawn therefrom should bo
reiterated. Do German sympathizers think that crimes
against civilization will be, or ought to be, forgotten?
There are few better guides to clear thinking and to na
tional feeling and policy than past experience.
The Oakland members of the Steuben Society have
asked, if the story of Cavell shall continue to be told,
that the past crimes of the English and the present
crimes of the French be told also. This request is fair,
and to it might be added the demand that the crimes
of Americans, when and if committed, should be given
full publicity also. There is little doubt that during the
war crimes of one sort or another were chargeable to
governments" or individuals of all the nations engaged.
War is by its very nature criminal and ought so to be
called. What the Germans can not realize, but what
most of the world will continue to think, is that Germa
ny, by her first great crime of preciDitatinir the war.

According to experts the bay is
