Show THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH 1 GOOD HIGHWAYS ROADS CONSTRUCTED 111 SUFFERING How 1921 Approximately 28,000 Miles Built fig Year Just Passed Lower. Dur--- -- Materials Department (Prepared by the United Satee 1 n it Agriculture. Road building has recovered from the setback received during the war, and prospects are bright for the future. Approximately 14,000 miles of road were constructed" during the present season by the states in conjunction with federal aid, according to the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and probably an equal amount Independent ol federal aid. More miles of improved road were built than during any other ' . . year. Costs of road gradir g and construction with local materials is down practically to the 1914 level. Some reductions, also, have been made la freight rates on road materials. The importance of this Item is shown by the fact that in some cases it has been estimated' that increased freight rates have added 10 per cent to the cost of a road. Prices of manufactured road materials tend downward; the present level Is materially ljwer than that of a year ago. With the new appropriation by congress of $75,000,000, added impetus will be given to new road' construction. Many of the states are considering en- way. James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, may be taken as fairly representing the views of those who are alarmed over conditions. In an address before the American Bar association he said that contempt for law and the present revolt against the spirit of authority make this age eminently one of sham and counterfeit. .He rejected the easy theory that these symptoms of a grave malady are merely a reaction of the World war. E ar from causing the moral sickness of the age, says the solicitor general, the World war was In Itself, IperhapS, but one of Its many symptoms. Some of the contributory causes of the worlds disorder are reluctance to obey laws regarded as unreasonable ; or vexatious, the laws delays and laxity In administration which have bred a spirit of contempt, and the rampant Individualism which began In the " Eighteenth century, with Its excessive emphasis on the rights of man and small stress on mans duties. In proof of his contention, Mr. Beck Instances the records of the criminal courts and police dockets; violations of the sumptuary laws, which In the case of the prohibition statute have resulted In fines aggregating an estimate of more than $300,000,000 ; and an Increase In nine years of nearly 400 per cent In the comparatively narrow sphere of the federal criminal Jurisdiction. "In the greater sphere of social life we find the same revolt against the Institutions which have the sanction of the past, says Mr. Beck. Laws which mark the decent restraints of print, speech and dress have In recent decades been increasingly disregarded. The very foundations of the great and primitive Institutions of mankind like the family, the church and the state have been shaken. Nature itself Is defied. Thus, the fundamental difference of sex Is disregarded by social and political movements which ignore the permanent differentiation of social function ordained by God himself. Five plagues are afflicting humanity, said the pope last year in a public utterance before the College of Cardinals. The first, Mr. Beck recalls, Is the unprecedented challenge to authority; second, hatred between man and man; third, abnormal aversion to work; fourth, the excessive thirst for pleasure; fifth, a gross materialism which denies the reality of the spiritual in human life. AH these charges, says the lawyer, are proved in recent experience. d It Is, however, to a change in social conditions rather than to any change of mans essential nature that the solicitor general attributes the malady of our time. It seems to him that the morale of our industrial civilization has been shattered. Work for works sake, as the most glorious privilege of human faculties, has gone, both as an Ideal and as a potent spirit. The conception of work as a degrading servitude to be done with reluctance and grudging Inefficiency, seems to be the Ideal of millions of men of all classes and In all countries. The great enigma, then, which this situation propounds to us, and which, like the riddle of the Sphinx, we will solve or be destroyed, is this : "Has the Increased the potential of human power, through thermodynamics, been accomplished by a corresponding Increase in the potential of human character? Then Mr. Beck goes on to say: "A mass morality has been substituted for individual morality, and group morality generally Intensifies the vices more than the virtues of man. What was true of Germany was true although In lesser degree of all civilized nations. In all of them, the Individual had been submerged In group formations, and the effect upon the character of man has not been beneficial. There are many palliatives for the evils which I have discussed. To rekindle In men the love of work for works sake and the spirit of discipline, which the lost sense of human solidarity once Inspired, would do much to solve the problem, for work is the greatest moral force In the world. If we of this generation can only recognize that is not past rem-- ' . the evil exists, then the situation edy. I have faith In the Inextinguishable spark of Divine which is in the human soul and which the ' our complex mechanical civilization has not extinguished. Of this, the World war was in itself a proof. All the horrible resources of mechanics and chemistry were utilized to coerce the human soul, and all proved ineffectual. g citizens in a As everyone knows, , number of big American cities have been driven com by conditions to orgnnize jjj;ttees a fact which would seem to corroborate Mr, Beck. Denver Is, the latest city to feel the necessity of such an organization.

They are allowed to run rampant In the city of Denver. So men and women of Denver have organized the Law Enforcement association. In Illinois an Illinois Vigilance' association has been organized "to bring back dancing and substitute it for the one-spwiggle that reigns today. In Chicago Joseph L. Moss, chief probation officer of the Juvenile court says: Girls are worse than boys. It used to be axiomatic that the average girl is better than the average boy, but thats now a tradition. In 1920 we had 1,912 boy cases In this court, as against 1,832 this year. During the same period we had 638 girt cases, as compared to 684 in 1921. Fifty-fiv- e per cent of the 684 girls before the court this year were there because of sex delinquency. None of the 1,832 boys were arraigned on that charge. Thirty-thre- e per cent of the delinquent girls were Incorrigible, as against only 17 per cent of the boys. Beading between the lines there is found here an Indictment of woman almost if not quite as strong as that of man. Some of the visiting foreigners express themselves rather plainly about American women. For example, Princess Antoine Blbesco, wife of the Rumanian attache at Washington and daughter of Margot Asquith, whose saucy book about personages in England caused a storm of criticism, and herself the author of a still more audacious book, -says American men are charming, but its Just because they are so charming that the women arent so nice. They are utterly spoiled and good for nothing. Prof. Albert Einstein, whose r theory of Bel-ativlty made him famous, made some observations about U3 of America. He said: Women dominate the entire life of America. The men Interest themselves in nothing except work. They think of nothing except work and to an extent I have never seen before. As for the rest of the men, they are nothing but the little playdogs of the women, who spend their money In a reckless manner and veil themselves In a mist of extravagance. They do everything for the women that is In vogue or the whim of the passing moment." So; in view of these Indictments, various activities of women take on an added interest and are being widely discussed. Of course the women who are doing things and are discussing things stand by their sex. Lady Astor, the first woman to be elected to the British parliament, has this to say, In part: v . .Is there such a person as the New Woman? Or are women much the same as ever, In spite of apparent changes in .their position? "The war has given a tremendous push to the reaction from Victorian social ideals which had already begun, and the quickened pace has been girl disconcerting. The early and was brought up in as complete ignorance ns possible of the fundamental facts of life and of marriage, while the dark side of the picture, the social evil, was kept closely hid from her. During the last twenty or thirty years girls have escaped from these narrow walls. " When woraen first began to realize the existence of some of the worst social evils it made some of them embittered against men, in a way which was comprehensible, but, nevertheless, uKeason-abl- e l. The moral problem is no and doubt one of the causes which "have put women antl-soclu- Women have, on the whole, been, or tried to be, what men expected them to be.

Girls today are developing remarkable executive ability and leadership. This naturally makes them more Independent. They are doing things their mothers never would have dreamed of undertaking.- They are succeeding in every field of business and industry they enter. But more than that they are becoming better wives and mothers. The franchise has widened their point of view. With their greater understanding, men are discovering them better comrades. and children are finding them able to understand even their pettiest problems. Womans place Is still within the home. The very highest type of woman today is that one who can add civic responsibilities to her domestic duties without slighting the latter in any way, Women, by living more systematic and orderly lives, are doing what twenty years ago they would have regarded as impossible."
