In a let ter printed In another column. Mr. Brenckmau says that the loads should be built out of current revenues. As a genernl proposition, of course, all current expenses of the Stale should be met out of the annual ta lcy. Hut It 1 unfair to the present generation to tax It for Improvements which will benellt future generations. And it Is eciiull un fair to tax men this car for tin- total cost of Improvements which will last Htteen or twenty eais. It Is better econom to distribute the pajment of the tost oer as lotlg a period as possible. We do this In Philadelphia with stieet paving, whiib ii uniformly paid for out of a loan The repairs are paid for out of the annual t.i levy. The kind of highwas that inns, be b'ullt In the futuie must be similar in durability to the old Iloninn roads which are still In u&e. They must have i per manent foundation that no amount of heavy traffic can doitroj. If the Oiange Is opposed to Issuing bonds for building shoddy roads that will wear out In n sea son It should continue its opposition to the last ditch. Such roads should not be built at all. If it is opposed to a bond isue for keeping the roads In repair it is standing in an impregnable position.

Goldstein was tvventy-foui He sold cigarettes and cigars over the countei In his father's shop at Third street and Fair mount avenue. He went to Kussla and became Minister of the I'ress. In other words, this obscure, untrained, uneducated cigar-store clerk tensoied all the news papers In Russia, and thus dictuled the opinions of an emplie! In Itussia Goldstein changed lilt. name. He was known as Moisel Volodaisk.v lla had nothing but a feverish radicalism and boundless ambition to help him as a maker of government. Now he is reported as sassinated near Petrogrnd.

THE PRESIDENTS SHIP pRESIDENT WILSON'S last public ap- pearance in this city was on June 23, 1916, when he addressed the national con vention of advertising men Now It Is said he raav visit Philadelphia on August 5 to launch the first ship fiom the Hog Island jards. The appearance of the Piesldent at such a function would appeal powerfullv to the national Imagination America's shipping program Is peculiarly eloquent, in its every aspect, of our aims and our determination. And the President's relation to this great undertaking, the strength and scope of his international policy, is linked up with the ships which ultimately must be the Interpreters of his purpose It Is easy to imagine that Mr Wilson might have something memorable to say at the launching of the first Hog Island" ship. It Is to be hoped he really plans to come. And It might be well if the cltj. could find time to celebrate Hog Island anil to honor its distinguished guest by turn ing out for a half holiday when the first vessel leaves the ways at the new yard.

OUR OWN I30L51IEV1KI They Are Plentiful in Phllailelplila anil They Flattnl No Warning Wliirkcrt To the Editor of tho Krmina Public Ledger. fic fn the offlre where I tint employed as n strnnprapher it Is said that there are ninny Holshevlkl In Philadelphia. I have tenlrArit tint haven't seen oti). They all near heavy beards In the pictures. If thcrn are Uolshcvlki fit Philadelphia isn't It an rtifntflr that wtnr one doesn't tell Ihe fjor-rl-ninrtifr MAIIV C Philadelphia. July U rpHERE is n mistaken belief, Mary, that the Holshevikl are restricted to Russia. This is a delusion which we be seech you not to share. You may even have a Bolshevik in your home. They are Riovvinp; plentiful amonp; the rich qnd the poor. We shall try to tell you how to single them out. One cannot tell by the whiskers. Whiskers in Russia are a link or nn indulgence a dissipation, if you will, nnd no more. They mean nothing. If all the true Holshcviki in Philadelphia wore whiskers the barbers, hai asset! by hunRer and heartbreak, would jump fiom the docks in crowds. The Bolsheviki are the unhappy re sult of a happy theory. They think when they think at all thnt there is too much law, too much work, and loo much njjIititiK in the world. It may be that thcio is too much work. Ceitainly there is too much fighting. This is not a new idea. Jinny men have worried about it. They believe it bc.st to think first and act afterward. Your Bolshe vik likes the reverse piocess. He acts fitst and thinks aftcrwaid if he te nuiins alive. In all the world there are. perhaps, about seven wise Bolsheviki. All the others, who aien't wise, have roup be yond their control. To be a Bolshevik all one has to do is to renounce faith in the existing social order, to break away fiom it and to refuse co-operation with other people in the processes or ganized by society for law, order and happiness. Therefore, if you secietly strive lo make big profits out of the country's troubles you are a Bolshevik even though you ride in a limousine and belong to the be.st clubs. You have broken away from the normal social order. If. on the ether hand, you bully the boss, do your work carelessly or not nt all in the sweet assurnnce that you can quit at any min ute with a regal gesture and get a good job next door you are a Bolshevik. Y'ou aie opposing the interests of society which includes yourself. Y'ou are help ing to chaos and confusion ,'ust like the Bolsheviki in Russia Work must be done, Mary, however little we may like it. Otherwise the world is sure to go to the much-talkcd-of and ever-waiting dogs. Any one who has work to be done these days a mo torcar to be mended or a stove to be fixed or ashes to be cairied out or ships to build or a shop to keep going knows that there are a good many un conscious Bolsheviki mixed in with the vast aggiegatc of intelligent and lea sonable workers. There are ever so many men who have cut away from the ordinary rules of fair play. They feel exalted because they are badly needed. They boss the bos3. Each considers him self a republic. Each is a Bolshevik. That won't do. It is the sort of thing that doesn't get anybody anywhere. Any one who goes forth to buy any thing from a dairy lunch to a house and loU knows, too, that the same sort of Bolshevism is lampnnt among prospei ous folk. They, too, are considering themselves first and the war and so ciety afterward. None of these uncon scious Bolsheviki considers the social order by which we live. It is amusing to hear them denounce the Russians. Because the Bolsheviki in Russia are, after all, much nicer than those we have at home. The unalloyed and professed Bolshe vik has, at least, a definite theory and a stated purpose. He would go back at one wild flight to a condition of life such as that which prevailed in Eden. His ideal world is a place free of toil, where one might sit all day in the shade of a tree and look at the sky and play with the children and meditate and improve one's mind and cat one's dinner when it fell from overhead and wait for rain when one grew thirsty. That, says your true Bolshevik, is what life is for. We will not even presume to deny this, Mary. The system might be pos sible if theie were only a few thousand people in the world nnd no crowding. But, fortunately, there are many hun dreds of millions of people in the world. And because of this no man or woman can exist without the co-operation of the others. Society, therefore, is organized as a system of obligations. No one can be entirely free without being en tirely selfish and entirely cruel. Find a man who feels himself entirely free and you find a Bolshevik. If there wore self-planting potatoes and self-cleaning streets; if tho egg would get up in the morning and boil itself; if houses were built by magic or if they grew like trees; if no ono ever wanted to go anywhere on a railroad or a trolley car; if water pipes were self laying; if coal mined itself; if motorcars could be educated to make their own re pairs; if all the other essential things of life, health and happiness were looked after by the good fairies, then, perhaps, we could all be happy, Bdlsheviki to gether. Otherwise, Mary, we must work. The Bolsneviki in Russia have found this out, after drifting close to starvation and pestilence. "Very well,'' they say, "let some one else do itl" So they, too, are now being accused as tyrants. We ourselves, Mary, have a sneaking notion that discipline and a sense of'ob ligatfon are necessary to keep all men of every sort In ordcrt A sense of obllga- A - . Hon Is necessary to life Itself as the world goes, Thoso who, because of oo much pros perity, like to boss the boss; those others who profit by the distress of "their neigh bors or the community or tho nntion In tfiis crisis, have broken nway from the social order. Tho boss is only one .of society's traffic policemen. Your neigh bor symbolizes society itself. Those who refuse to recognize this rule arc the real Bolsheviki. Now, perhaps, you may be able to recognize the type. It isn't neces sary to teli the Government. The Gov ernment knows nil about them. There Is an old super Nnlleil stltlon among savages that If you make an Image of your enemy and drive a nnll Into him he will die. fan It be that some of those Germans who climbed the platform around Hindy's wooden statue In Ilerlln believed In this superstition?

Sir My attention has been directed to your editorial of July 9 on the proposed con stitutional amendment, authorizing the State to borrow $50,000,000 for highway construc tion, and referring to the nttltuda. of the Pennsylvania State Grange toward this project, Your arguments In favor of good roads arc all sound and logical. Wo are all In favor of good roads, but there la a difference of opinion as to tho best course to be pur sued In securing them. As jour editorial sets forth, the Grange opposed the bond Issue at the polls, five .vears ago. and It will again do so this year. Our opposition was not based alone on the fact that we distrusted the Highway Depart ment, as It was then constituted, but we were against the proposal because we considered It poor business policy nnd entirely uncalled for. We pointed out that under proper equaliza tion of taxation It would he entirely feasible to build Improved highways on the pay-as-jou-go plan, and that there' was, therefore, no Justification for 'plunging the State In debt, with all Its attendant evils and con sequences. One of our proud boasts has long been that as a State we are free from debt. Hut It l needless to say that the only reason w h vve have been able to make this boast Is that the framers of our present constitu tion, In 1873, Incorporated the provision that the only excuse for going Into debt should be In case of military necessity, or to pay anv debt then existing. That generation of Pennsylvanlans had learned from experience the truth of the time-honored ndage that he who goes a bnrrowing goes a-sorrovvlng, and vve were opposed to striking out the provision against going into debt that they had placed In our constitution. For years) the average tax on real estate in Pennsylvania has been more than twenty mills, while corporete and personal property has escaped with an average tax of four mills. That is why "the Grange has 'con tended that anjthlng even remotely ap proaching equalization of taxation would easily give us plenty of money with which to build roads without going Into debt. If the proposal to bond the State for $30, OOn.OnO was objectionable In 1913, It Is In finite! more objectionable today. The great war In which we are engaged makes It absolutely necessary for us to go Into debt as a nation, and the force of circumstances compels Us to pile up obliga tions that aie mountain-high for futute generations to pay. It Is but mating the truth to say that it would be unpatriotic for the State lo attempt to float a loan of $50,000,OOU when the national Government .finds It necessary to sell thrift stamps In order to help finance the war. Further than that. It Is altogether unlikely that the national Government would appmve such a course If vve attempted It. Counties and municipalities cannot now issue bonds' without the approval of the Govern ment at Washington, nnd ft Is quite probable that the State would meet the same difficulty. On June 10 the national council of defense transmitted to all the State councils of de fense 'a letter directing that "only those loads which ae of prime Importance for iriinomic and military purposes" should be built during the continuance of the war. Besides. there Is the unprecedented s-caicit.v and high cost of labor staring us In the face. Granting for sake of argument that it would be possible for us lo enter Into any extended scheme of road construction under conditions now obtaining, to make the attempt would mean that we would be get ting less for our money than at any other time liven now, the Highway Department, while unhindered by reason of lack of fundH, has great difficulty In securing the necessary labor and materials to keep the roads w hav'e in lepalr, in addition to building such as contribute dirtctly to the success of our military efforts. In s'ome Instances no bids at all can he setured to do the work, while those that arc submitted are necessaill.v staggeilngiy high. The last Legislature appropriated over $14. noo.ftUO for highway constuictlnn, In ad dition to the genetal salary and traveling expense fund of more than $500,000 that was made available. With the exercise of proper foresight, the net Legislature can afford to bo equally liberal with the Highway Department; and the funds thus appropriated will serve to keep the roads we now have In as good con dition as at present, which is about all that vve can reasonably expect until the return or normal conditions. As the Grange views It, there is every rea son why the proposed bond iFsue should again be defeated. When peace comes vve will find a way of building Improved hlgh was and paying for them out of the cur rent revenues. FRED BRENCKMAN. Member Legislative Committee, Pennsylvania State Grange. Hatritburg, Pa., July II The Aulo Industry It was once that cotton was king, then corn, and afterward hay, followed by Iron and steel, and now It' has come to pass that the automobile industry Ts king. If not so, It is heir apparent to the throne. The last year it paid out $747, 000,000 to 830,000 employes Its capital employed amounts to $1,207,000,000, which is $250,000,000 more than the capital of all the national banks. It soeins strange that this great, costly Indus try should Invade the social situation and take from It billions of dollars, when the fact Is we thought' we needed all the money we made to pay our taxes and to buy meat for the family. But' there Is a mystery about this whole economic process, for It seems the more money we spend for things we might do without, the more money vve hrve to buy what we need. There are farm values, for Instance they have Increased at three times the rate of the previous twen ty years. Theie Is, in fact, a big dividend for Ingenuity and enterprise, provided they are not directed toward the evils of society, such as vice and Intemperance. Ohio State Journal.

A VTI1R ciaminlng and measuring and testing half a million Prussian facet It was unaiilmouslu agiccd that Jllndg's iros the blue ribbon. WHAT " nn a HAT did It matter that this face dwelt man of genial, tavern-roaring, beer-glugging kindliness? The German owes everything lo the State Hlndy gave his face. The Prussian publicity engines embossed It upon the attention of the globe. From the deserted barber shops of Siberia to the clicking pool tables of San Francisco that face became nn -emblem of terror and stark cruelty. Little children waked ciylng when they dreamed of It. Furclilbarkeit stamped with that tiade-marlt was known to be warranted stuff, straight to consumer. THE grim dewlapped cheeks, the brute thrust of the snovvplow chin, the coarse wiry noustache and glint of snarling teeth catching the upper lip in a grimace of fury this was the face of Prussia as she ad vertised herself to the world. Gone was the febrile, exclta'ble ,?t'lsr trade-mark thai had represented 'Germany to other nations for thirty years,' The fierce pouched eyes, the cubical cropped skull, were the Prussian totem, the Instinctive stratagem of the savage who tries to frighten his enemy with painted dragons. This was the fearful effigy set up to as sault the nerves of gentler nations. Hun nlshness gloated upfln that dread Jowl and saw that it was good. It was the basalt of the earth. OV COURSE the danger was that HlnoV, sublimely gifted by Gott with the repre sentative Prussian face, might some day disgrace himself by revealing his essential Jolllness and cheer. Whenever ho felt genial he was kept' locked up and photog raphers were blindfolded. He was 'fed on raw meat and nosner until he roared amain. Then he was let lolse among the lenses. . CURIOUS, isp't 'it, what a different face America ia using as a trade-mark to advertise its waresj A lean, quiet, face not angry, not terrible, but very wise, persistent and determined. A clean-cut, clear-sighted face, with eyes that know that anger shortens the vision. A face with a touch of sadness and lines fit tenr derness and humor about the mouth.
