Daily by mail, outside of North Dakota "THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) , CANNOT BE STOPPED No action of the North Dakota legislature or any other organization can stop the better highways movement in the nation. The legislature may halt the program for North Dakota, it may restrict it or it may broaden it, but with the continued increase in the number of automobiles, the | fact that cars ate being brought within the reach of the great bulk of people in price, the increase in the use of .trucks on farms, the great good roads movement is go- ‘ing on. It is of course a simple fact that transportation is more economical over good roads than over bad roads, and the ‘automobile owners who ray something additional to get | good roads are compensated in lower running costs. There } are 100,000 automobiles in North Dakota, dnd 700,000 people. | On the usual basis of figuring population of five to a family | these figures would indicate that five-sevenths of the families of the state have automobiles. The demand for abolition of the state highway commis- 1 sion is founded either upon selfishness or upon fale premise. | A good highway commission is directed by engineers, and | it cannot-be said that engineers are not more fitted to build | . roads than any individual in a county or township without | engineering training. There are too many good roads in one county which be- | come bad roads in the next counti Automobile transpor- | taticn transcends county lines; to a lesser degree state lines, | and it is on the latter premise that the national government has pbpropeinted hundreds of millions of dollars for building , of roads. The national government recognizes the value of a state | highway commission dominated by engineers. If there had been no highway commission in North Dakota the great Missouri river bridge would never have been built. If there | is no highway commission the people of Fargo will never i get federal aid for building a bridge across the Red River. | If there is no highway commission North Dakota will have | a system of local roads, a patched system. North Dakota | will fall by the wayside in the great national movement, and | her people will feel it when tourists turn their paths through ! other states. | The legislature can well afford to take steps to bring the | expenditure of the great bulk of road funds in the state | under the direction of engineers of the state highway com- mission. If an investigation should show the present high- way commission at fault, there still would be no reason for condeming the system. And if the road work of the state is consolidated and correlated, the legislature will have ac- complished a real step in a program of economy and effi- ciency. WAR Henry Ford thinks the auto will carry the world to uni- versal peace. He reasons this way:~ The auto teaches how ‘to use machinery, and machinery will make people too pros- perous to fight. i Excepting religious conflicts, all wars are caused by | money. Aggressive countries, seeking to expand at the | expense of others, have as their goal a higher prosperity for their citizens. And a very prosperous nation, to hold its gains, often attacks and partly destroys ambitious poorer neighbors. * Poverty is keeping war close to Europe’s elbow. If you “want peace for your descendants, back anything. within rea- son ‘to help Europe get away from the breadline. \ HANDICAP Coue came to America with a great message. Fully half | of its potential effectiveness was lost because the majority | in his audiences was unable to understand him. He speaks | English, slowly between words, but each word comes to ex- posively that it sounds more like a foreign tongue. «+ i | His trouble is in his enunciation, not in the carrying- | power of his voice, as he believes. This vocal effect, of | course, is all imaginary, so maybe he could revise his form- | ula to: “Day by day, in every way, I talk plainer and plainer | English.” | A small flaw can nearly ruin a whole masterpiece. | GERMANY | German exports in November, just announced, totaled | = 255 million gold marks. Her imports were 536 million. | During the first 11 months of 1922, German imports ex- | ceeded exports by about 2063 million. gold marks, or nearly H £491 million dollars in American money.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides important issues which are ussed in the press of O EUGENICS Eugenics, under one form or ancther, continues to push itself forward in an effort to make a 110 per cent human race. It is jat best a proposition loaded with dynamite, and, therefore, some- thing to be handled by experts only, and even then with the ut- most care. The psychopathic laboratory of the municipal court in Chicage has not ned a high standing in the scientifie world, but it scems to be imbued with the spirit of the breezy city’s motto: “T will.” Tt has just rushed to a plan for the sterilization of men and women who are potential par-| ents of ‘‘socially inadequate” chil-} dren, and it proposes measures surpassing anything ever heard of | hefore in this country. | A model law, we are told, is to} be p nted to the Illinois legi lature, in which the “socially adequate” are divided into. classes including “paupers, ne’er-do-wells, orphans, cripples and the blind.” | The idea is preposterous and | yunds like an unseemly joke. | ng ever the inclusion’ of “or- | which is either absolute | craziness or a_ typograph ror, the proposition may be ed upon any one of the other four |* heads. Full power, pr: ally of life and death, is to be vested in a state eugenicist to be appointed by the ge nor. After this lord high executioner has made his survey and prepared his little list, the victims are to be brought into | court, and then—if judge or jury turns thymbs down—the state eu- genic ‘Gill be ordered to do his work “in a skillful, safe and hu- mane manner. i There can be no such thing as aj “safe and humane manner” in any procedure of that sort. There may be some excuse for the suggesticn made in his recent message by Governor Denny of Delaware that the feeble-minded be treated in) this fashion—although even that is open to serious question—but the Chicago proposition is intolerable. Who.can say that any pauper is henelessly incurable, or that a shiftless man or woman may not be shaken ‘out of a temporary lethargy? ‘The cripples and the blind men of this country, includ- ing, to mention but one such a roup, the most brilliant of Amer- ican electrical engineers, will ri up and crush these pseudo-scien- tists of Chicago with a recerd of achievements under handicap that has excited the admiration of the world.

A stream of smoke from the new oil spat out for a second, Then, roaring and chort- ling with the beginning of battle, the machine swept away toward the slight turn that indicated the sera gly end of the little town of Domin- ion, and the beginning ‘of the first grade. “A six per cent grade if it’s an inch!” he murmured. “And this is only the beginning.” He settled more firmly in his seat and gripped hard at the steering wheel. Gradually, the’ severity of the grade had increased to ten, to twelve and in short pitches to even eighteen and twenty per cent! * A stop, while the red, hissing wa- ter splattered from the radiator cock, andj the lifted hoad gave the ; machine a chance to-cool before re- plenishment came from the murky,|_ discolored, stream of melted snow | water, Mnting and” light-headed | from. th Barry leaned Mes le, against the machine for a moment; something touched — his fgce and: melted there—snow!
