The government of the United States built the Panama canal to provide more convenient and quick- er communication by water between the east and west sections of the country. There are countless other advantages and among them cheaper coast-to-coast transportation for bulky commodities. The federal government, states and local communities have built hard surfaced highways, providing among other ben- efits cheaper and more convenient transportation for short hauls. As a result of these two public improvements much business has been taken away from both the trans- continental and short lize railroads. This is apparently a benefit to the shipper who gets the lower rate provided by the convenience estab- lished at government expense; but developments dem- onstrate that there must be an equalization some- where and that in the end the cheaper means of transportation is not likely to prove a net gain to the shipping public. Railroad owners, whether gov- ernment or private, must somehow or other realize profit or the roads will be abandoned. If the govern-| ment sells bonds to raise money to buy the roads, the taxpayers must pay the interest on the debt as well as the excessive cost of government operation. If the railroads lose part of the coast-to-coast and the short haul traffic, they must re enough on the remaining traffic to make up the loss, for it is well known that they are not now making even a reason- able profit upon the value of their property. To deny them the right to make a fair profit is practically con- fiscation, and this the constitution forbids. This is not arguing that the Panama canal and the hard surfaced highways should not have been con- structed. Far from it. Both are modern conveniences, which are an economic benefit to the nation and the world. The fact to be kept in mind, is that benefits of this kind usually, if not always, have their coun- terbalancing burdens, and people must expect to pay for the original cost and the upkeep of the canal, as also of the highways, and, if these new means of transpo: ion cut into the revenues of the railroads, for which the government fixes rates, it must be ex- pected that other rates will be fixed upon a basis which, in the end, will provide a fair return upon the investment. The government cannot undertake to limit profits, without in some manner giving assur- ance against losses. To do so would be dishonest, and dishonesty never pays in the end. Cl ee ROADS AND HEAVY TRAFFIC, About every material used in road construction has been tried out in Indiana, both for city streets and ana’s experience would be prac- rience of all of the states west of the The coming of the motor truck and heavy loads has presented a new problem which is yet to be solved by the engineers and road build- ers. Writing on the subject the Indianapolis Star sa Interests having to do with transportation by mo- tor truck are naturally eager for good roads. So is the public. But unfortunately the good road that will stand heavy traffic has not yet been evolved. The hard macadam goes to pieces like so much tissue pa- per under very heavy loads on solid tires. The truck men declare that the cement Highway as it is being constructed today is of little value, and probably it will not stand much heavy traffic. The only sugges- tion that appears from their conference thus far is that there should be deeper road foundations, going below the frost line. “But would that help much? How long does a pavement last on Kentucky avenue or any of the In- @ianapolis thoroughfares where very heavy hauling is the rule? These foundations are deep enough and solid enough, but it is usually a question of only a short time until the surface is street. is full of chuck holes. cedar ut to pieces and the Asphalt, brick, creosoted s and various other surfaces have been much the same result; the pavement goes ckly. d a few well known facts seem to point » more satisfactory road making. Many of 1 roads on the continent of Europe and in England are still.in existence. The foundations were generally very heavy blocks of stone and the surface was made of dirt or gravel or whatever material was sible. As the centuries ' passed there have of course, many " many kinds of surface, but the foundatio: It is generally neither a difficult nor a highiy sive proposition to build good roads over them.” bloc a eae BATHING EAST AND WEST. Writing on a strictly summer subject and one that rece miles of written attention and acres of illus- tration during the season, the Cleveland Plain Dealer thus daintily alludes to the bathing fairies from Hell's Gate to the Golden State: “At Atlantic City there is a considerable revolt against what the revolters consider the old-fogeyism of the beach rules that prescribe considerable skirts id complete stockings for bathers not lucky enough to be males. The tiny tumult calls attention to the fact that the varying standards of propriety in respect to the beach costume of the female of the species ara w Jersey coast, it is still considered immodest for ladies to go swimming or bathing without encasing their legs in un: bbreviated stockings. The length of skirt is also legally pre-| scribed, and is usually quite sufficient to make swim- ming a painful effort. North and south of New York and New Jersey the rules are not quite so strict, but the general beach attitude is likely to be somewhat mid-Victorian € “Progressing westward one notes a rapidly decreas- ing rigidity of beach censorship which we are unwill-} ing to believe denotes a lowering of the standards of | morality. In Cleveland, for instance, it has been many years since the powers that be have made any at-/ tempt to compel girls and women to wear stockings on the municipal beaches, and the exposed knees ofa fair bather ate considered no more novel or immodest} than the bare shanks of her male escort. In Chicago there is still more latitude, and the length of a bath- ing skirt does not greatly perturb the municipal au- thorities. And so on, till the Pacific coast is reached, and there almost ‘anything goes.’ “It would be hard work to persuade any one, even a New Yorker, that New York is more moral or more modest than the middle west. Yet it is a fact that New Yorkers who have been accustomed to seeing female bathers concealingly arrayed, not to say swathed, are amazed at the trans-Appalachian free- dom of th nds. It is a geographical state of mind. New York thinks nothing at all of semi-nude choruses in musical shows, but when one of these shows tra-| verses the middle west the wardrobe mistress pru- dently adds to her stock in order to escape the atten- tion of censorious police and societies for the pres- ervation of public morals. “It is a strange quirk of New York provincialism | that it frowns on sensibly and properly finclad legs at the seashore while it applauds talcum-tinted knees that are needlessly displayed behind the footlights.” many resorts slong the } a REDUCE THE PRICES. Instead of taking up the usual appeal of the coal operators to fill up the coal bin during the dull sea- son, thereby assisting the poor coal producer to af- ford the miner a day or two more work during the| week, the press of the country has declined to push the propaganda and has insolentiy inquired of the operator when he proposed to cease profiteering? And if he was not aware that the war was long since over and peace actually declared? And did he not think that the people had been exploited to about the full limit the traffic would stand? The consumer too began expressing somewhat the same sentiments. He proclaimed that he would suf- fer the old coal bin to remain vacant. That threats of shortage in supply when cold weather arrived had not so much terror for him as the present prices de- nanded by the retailers. He and his fellows had gone on strike, The cost of coal is outrageous and the ex- nylanations of the coal men simply do not explain. The old war bunk has lost its scare. That old stuff s all off. Men who deal in coal, mine it and sell it o the customer, may talk themselves pink in the face in defense of a business that extorts the highest rices ever known, but they cannot convince the pub- lie that they are not profiteering* If they are not, then why do they move heaven and earth to head off legislative inquiry? Why do they not come forward with their books and figures and prove what they as- ert to be the facts. There is nothing wrong in the secretaries of the nterior and commerce securing the information de- nanded by the public about the costs. The old cry bout the government’s undue interference with busi- sess don’t get the coal producers any sympathy. They do not come clean and they do not propose to as long they can ve off the day of the showdown. The ver; itude of the coal men, themselves, is what is casting suspicion upon them. Then when they maintain an expensive lobby to defeat the govern- nent!s objects, that is about thé last straw. ‘ The pub- ic is long suffering and has patience but it finally vears out. The coal men are just about due for a rimming. The season of gouging is at an end, they had better co-dperaté in the readjustment of prices nd profits and save their business. The American public is up in arms. ey eee SHARING WASHINGTON WITH THE WORLD - When Lord Curzon calls:George Washington the greatest Englishman of all timés we recognize that George Washington is not wholly our own. His char- acter and achievements as the commander in chief of our continental atmies and our ‘first president and model citizen have lifted him from any provincial situation he may have occupied in his lifetime to one of the world’s honoréd charactérs. History has done this, and history’s estimate has been accepted by the world. Time was when we would have resented the high compliment Lord Curzon pays our great citizen. Time was when the forebears of Lord Curzon sought to hang the man he now honors. Time, corrected view- point and proper estimate of~circumstances have brought both Englishmen and Americans to a just valuation of the character of George Washington and a correction of the faults of contemporary opinion. So today we are proud to present a marble statue of George Washington to the British people and they are equally proud to erect it in Trafalgar square. as PULLING, GUNS ON MEXICO. Our warships are off Tampico again. They have anchored in those waters before, and as recalled there was nothing to the credit of the movement that any American citizen took pride in. The occasion this time seems to be to protect the lives and property of American subjects who are engaged in the oil busi- ness. That was the reason the ships were sent on the previous occasion. At that time however our ships did not do any protecting. Great Britain-did that for us while our boats were cruising in the out- er waters. Our haval display was somewhat on a par with our military display—our punitive expedi- tion below the Rio Grande that refrained from puning. Let us hope that in the present instance we do not make ourselves as ridiculous as we did on our last visit. There is nothing in pulling a bluff with battleships or military force unless you make it stick. Starting something you are unable to finish, from whatever reason, is poor business. Had the other bluff been made good the present one would not be necessary. a WHY JACK WON. Jack Dempsey won over Carpentier because he had the grit, science and tenacity of a real pugilist. He not only had the weight but he was a big man of great endurance which is absolutely necessary to a fighter. “Jack” is the best of his day and we doff our hats to n because he won. America loves and honors win- ners. If you chance to lose once do not whine and sulk but get up and join the bulk singly and alone recruit and bust in at another angle and show that you are more scientific than ever before. In other words “win” opportunity, America, the world, yea, “God” speaks in tones of live thunder and says “win.” Jack won.—Glendo Star. ——_o—_—____ 3 CROWDING THE MOURNERS.
