EDITORIAL PAGE
The National Highways Associa
tion is an institution that should
have the encouragement of the na
tion. This newspaper is one of a
rapidly growing number, which be
lieves that for permanent peace
and benefit to humanity, the build
ing of six million dollars worth of
highways U a thousand time more
beneficial than the building of a
six million dollar battleship. If we
must have a standing army In times
o( peace, let that army spend its
time in constructing highways ? and
building Irrigation dams and ditches,
Instead of exercising in needless
cross-country runs and wasting
physical energy in extravagant dis
play marches and costly sham bat
tles.
For years congress has annually
appropriated millions of dollars for
the widening and deepening of dry
runs and sand-banked rivers, o? r
which an 'indent mud scow makes
biennial trii>s with a cargo of clam
shells for some button factory. Yet
(ne same congress refuses to con
tribute a peso for the building of
highways through the splendid agri
cultural lands.
For the iack of convenient ac
cessibility to the agricultural lands,
r>t which the nation has millions of
unused acres, improved lands are
becoming almost unpurchasable,
nith a consequent increase in the
price ef farm products which pro
hibits the consumer from securing
sufficient necessities of life without
wrecking nis mmntm
The last report of the secretary
of war says that it com nearly one
hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars to maintain the United States
.irmy during the year of 1911, and
the amount is constantly increasing.
That amount is spent each year for
me purpose of killing or preparing
*o kill men, women and children.
The same amount spent in peace
ful agriculture, in the building of
roads and the opening of natural
resources would feed and clothe
and give luxuries to the nation.
The Highway Association says: It
is a quest inn which is slowly but
surely forcing itself upon the Na
tional Legislature. Many Senators
and Representatives now believe
that the building of a system of
National Highways is of more
economic importance than any ' oth
er public work ? more vital than
the question of a large navy, more
i:seful 'Vim any river and harbor
improvement, more necessary than
the Panama Canal. For High
ways are built aud owned by the
people and are fre? to all the peo
ple. A few years ago road bills
had short shrift in Congress ? at
present there are nearly a hun
dred bills before Congress dealing
with road building in one form or
another.
Although the "good road" idea
has been gathering force and head
way for many years, its advocates
ar still pulling in many directions
Some road associations want State
Highways with National Aid. Others
want State' Highways without Na
tional Aid. Still others want good
roads paid for by the counties
through which they pass, without
any aid. One, at least, believes
ft mly that the question is not
only one for States, Counties, Cities
and Towns, but for the Nation.
The National Highways Associa
tion believes that the beginning of
a comprehensive good road system
for the Nation must be made by
the Federal Government.
It Is universal experience that
one mile of good road breeds an
other mile. Put a State-wide, good
road down anywhere in this coun
try, and lu ten years there will be
dozens of good roads reaching it
from all prirts of the State. Put
down a system of National High
ways, built and maintained by the
National Government, and the var
ious State Legislatures and County
officials would soon see the advan
tages of connecting all parts of the
states with those National roads
The question that is uppermost in
the minds of the electors of Alaska
is did w<? elect our senators and
repieserlative? to frame needed
laws for the general good, or was
it for the purpose of furnishing
them with an opportunity to grab
off an appointment and quit the du
ties that were conferred upon them
and which they sought and promts
e to fulfill? Already the names of
some of the members shine out with
deeds that they are trying to ac
complish for Alaska. Then there is
a putrid and sickening atmosphere
s rrounding the attempt of others
to accomplish selfish ends.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
heads an editorial "Why Not Be
Honest?" There's nothing to stop
the P. I. from breaking away
from its long established habits, if
it can "screw its courage up to the
sticking point. "
American Husband's
Success Depends Up
on His Wife
By Mrs. INEZ HAYNES CILLMORE. Author
I THINK THAT THE AMERICAN HUSBAND'S SUCCESS DOES
INDEED DEPEND IN A PAINFULLY COMPLETE DEGREE
UPON HIS WIFE.
And I tbink the wife's success depends upon the husband,
and even the success of the children depends upon what their father
and mother have made out of life and each other. The relation be
tween the different members of the family is still inextricably close.
Our women are so much MORE SKILLFUL THAN OUR
MEN in maniplating the delicate strands and textures that go to
make up the social fabric. The American woman has an apparently
INEXHAUSTIBLE FUND OF ADAPTABILITY AND SOCIAL
TACT. See what a success she makes in London! The American
husband is too busy and hurried and clumsy to study all the little
gradations and nuances that, taken together, make for happy social
intercourse. His wife attends to this job for him, and he MAY
NOT EVEN REALIZE HOW MUCH SHE HELPS HIM by
doing the work so welL
The wives of our presidents have contributed enormously, if ever
so silently, to the history of the nation. Many people still remember
the assistance which Mrs. Cleveland's grace and poise and social savoir
faire gave to her husband. In smoothing away enmities, in forming
new friendships, in PROVIDING A CHARMING BACK
GROUND, the socially gifted woman can be a very GREAT HELP
TO HER HUSBAND'S BUSINESS OR POLITICAL CAREER
