WILL THEY THANK THE DEMOCRATS?

From Pennsylvania comes the news that contracts have been awarded for the construction of public highways to cost approximately $2,000,000. About 35,000 men will’ ’be employed in the work this year. Of the large total of money to be devoted to this useful undertaking nearly $1,000,000 will be contributed -by the federal government under authority of an act passed by a Democratic congress in 1916. Tn this liberal assistance the government is to afford to the people of Pennsylvania they will have a very substantial evidence of- the constructive legislation which a Democratic administration has brought into force and effect for the benefit of every state and all classes. It has been the habit of some Republican newspapers and some Republican politicians' of Pennsylvania to assert that an undue advantage has been given to the south In the laws and policies fostered by the present national administration. The people of that state can now

properly estimate the accuracy of these assentions while they are spending almost $1,000,000 and employing thousands of men under the inspiration and sanction of a Democratic statute of which they are thus far among the chief beneficiaries. One Republican proposes a law to prevent the president from leaving the national capital. This is a partisan confession that a Democrat is to be president for some time to come. The Republican “robins” didn’t like the president’s address to the senate. They never have relished facts. One swallow doesn’t make summer, but 39 “robins" may help to furnish a fall.
