No redajust- ments of power must be made except such as will tend to secure the future peace of the world and the future wel- fare and happines of its peoples. “And then the free peoples of the world must draw together in some common government, some genuine and practical co-operation that will, in effect, combine their force to secure peace and justice in the dealing of nations with one another. “The brotherhood of mankind must no longer be a fair but empty phrase. “It must be :given a structure of force and reality. The nations must realize their common life and effect a workable partnership to secure that life against the aggressions of auto- cratic and self-pleasing powers.

W.| Thomas is home from a meeting with commissioners in| McKenzie, Wells and Foster counties, where 300 miles of state and federal aid road is pro- jected. Change Location. Because as now established much of the Meridian ‘trail through Ric land county is not used as a post road, the county commissioners have notified State Engineer Bliss that the location of the road between Wahpe- ton and the Cass county line has been changed to comply with the federal requirements. The county is also ask- | ing for state aid on the Meridiap trail from Wahpeton to the South Da- kota line, practically all of which is used as a post road. Altogether Rich- land county has asked for $5,000 in federal aid. A number of counties are changing the location of roads recommended for state and federal afd, in order that post routes may be’ included. This action: is solving the big difficulty which has confronted the highway commission—that of making the coun- ties’ requests and the federal require- ments “jibe.” Veteran, Engineer. J. M. Hanson, city engineer of Jamestown and count, surveyor for Stutsman, is in the state engineer's office cleaning up some work which he has done for Mr. Bliss in Nelson county.
