ROAD BUILDING RESPONSIBILITIES.

Indiana, in its desire to participate in the federal road fund, may forget the real end to be attained, which is scientific and economical road construction. The legislature must establish a state highway department. This department must conform to certain ideas presented by legislation and experience. And, once established, ' the department must maintain itself at the required standard. State highway officials who were called to Washington recently to discuss rules and regulations heard an explanation of the law by Secretaiy Houston. The department of agriculture, which is charged with administration of the act, intends to require observance of the spirit as well as the letter. • The amount appropriated, large as it is, seems insignificant in comparison with the sum now spent by the whole nation in improving its highways. It is expected that the $150,000,000 or so contributed bj- the states and the nation within the next few years will accomplish more in the aggregate than the spending each year of $250,000,000 by the states. The reason is that the government will require the states to watch their appropriations and to standardize construction.

It is assumed by the department of agriculture that under the law every state will employ experts, “it will necessitate,” says Mr. Houston.” trained intelligence in the service of the state as well as in the service of the federal government. The act requires the state to accept it. That, as I understand it, implies the assent of the state to every provision of the act. One of these provisions is that projects, plans, specifications and contracts shall be. submitted and approved; and I have a suspicion that plans and specifications will not be approved unless they are submitted by people who know about such things. So the assent of the state involves the calling of trained men into the service of every state which is now without them.” This applies to Indiana. It will not be enough merely to create the shell of a department in which federal aid may be housed. There must be competent engineers and honest material so that- the expenditure of all the money will be safe-guarded. The advocates of federal aid in the construction of highways obtained national appropriations for state work, but these appropriations, under xthe law, impose responsibilities and duties which can not to be shirked.—lndianapolis News.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

In reviewing the work of the Democratic congress which adjourned a few days ago the Indianapolis News grudgingly admits that this congress was a notable one in the character of legislation enacted and that it tried honestly to work in the interests of the whole people. This is quite a remarkable admission for the News to make, and we copy its - remarks that our readers may see the opinion held by other than Democratic newspapers of the work of this congress: Not since Civil war times has congress been as bqsy as during the Wilson administration. It has, indeed, been almost continuously in session. And in less than three months it will go .to work again. The session that came to an end yesterday was a notable one in many ways. It made appropriations of $1,637,583,682, the largest in the history of the country. It voted $655,000,000 for army and navy, and general military purposes, an amount quite unprecedented. There can be no question that much has been done, but there is a serious question as to whether all that has been done is good. Congress passed a child labor law, enacted a work-

men's compensation law for the benefit of federal employes, and also a rural credits law. We are to have a tariff commission, and, it is to be hoped, better roads, as a result of the new roads law. Not much is expected—except by the administration—of the new" government shipping law. The less said --except by those who criticise it—of the eight-hour-day law for railroad trainmen the better. But, taking the record as a whole, it must be said that congress has dealt with many subjects of very great importance, and has tried to deal with them wisely. Most of the legislation will have to be tested before judgment can be pronounced oil it. But there has been an honest effort to serve the people. The amount of work done—good, bad, or doubtful—is remarkable. It certainly has not been a do-nothing congress. There has been little filibustering, nor have there been many manifestations of extreme party spirit. The Republicans have performed the duties of an opposition party, even their criticisms being of a helpful kind. They have* as far as possible, co-operated with the majority, many of the measures receiving considerable, support from the Republicans. There has been no obstruction for the sake of obstruction. Though it will seem strange to be without a congress in session, the people will welcome the brief respite that they are to have. With the adjournment they will -turn their attention to -erHier things, and the campaign will take on new life. We think it may fairly be said that we have had a hard-working congress, and one that endeavored to perform to the full its duty to the people.

Housekeepers and Horses.

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has sent out this notice: "To the Lady of the House: Please order all your supplies for the day in one order early in the morning. One daily trip to your door—should it not be enough? Two trips wear me out twice as fast. Telephoning in an extra order doubles the Svork for the sales clerk and bookkeeper as well as for the driver and horse. Thia adds to the cost of all you buy. "Hurry-up orders mean the whip for me. "Please think of those who serve you, both people and horses. Your obedient servant, “THE DELIVERY HORSE.” It is certainly a wise injunction for the Rensselaer housekeeper, especially the woman who substitutes the telephone for the market basket. There is something to be said not only about the toilsome delivery horse but, the clerks.

Of course, the storekeeper, in order to retain his customers, will eater to the housekeeper regardless of her thoughtlessness. He will send the poor delivery horse or boy around any time she orders anything from a box of matches to a long list of produce. It isn’t he who suffers as a consequence, but rather his employes. A young woman in a grocery store who answered the telephone and took orders actually became a human wreck as the result of the nerve-racking strain. This young woman once said: “It was not the work in the store that was so wearing, but the women over the telephone. They would order their groceries over the phone, and after the delivery had gone call up again about something that was forgotten.

“If the horse was not available and the delivery boy was busy there would possibly be two or three telephone calls about the forgotten article, with a whining as to why it had not arrived, and the pathetic part about it is that each woman seems to think that she is the only customer that is to be served. “It is the 1 rare woman who makes allowances or thinks about the clerks who are there for the sole purpose of pleasing her and the workers who are so often overburdened by her inconsiderateness. “If only each woman wotild give a little bit of thought to those who must work in order to fulfill her wants, thipgs would be so much more pleasant and certainly less sordid for all of us.’’ There is considerable wisdom in this. It is regrettable to say there are many housekeepers who go on the theory that because they pay for a thing every attention should be given them, regardless of how much inconvenience it causes others.

It just needs a little bit of the golden rule -to save considerable suffering in this case, as it does in all others—if each housewife would but stop and consider. For example, she could easily be certain by making a complete list of everything wanted before she telephones for her day’s order. It would take but a moment or two. Instead of this she goes to the phone and at random gives an order, since she reasons it is so easy to ring up the grocery man again if she has forgotten a thing. And many a time that thing she has forgotten .might have waited until the next day. She usually goes on the theory that the horse is juSt in front of the grocery store waiting for her summons—and the clerks, too. Why not let the milk of human kindness flow every day?
