The Friends CELEBRATION.

Chester, Pa, 22.-The Friends assem-
bled IN their meeting house in this city
this afternoon TO commemorate the land
ing of William Penn at this place, 200
wears ago. So many responded to the
Invitation that large number were I'M
abe to gain admittance. John III.
Broomali, Of Media, Ohio, opened the
exercises with an eulogy of Peun. Ella
Hood read the following letter from John
g. Whittier:
DANYERs, MASS, October 10.
Sarah B. FEitchGft, Chester, Pa.
NM Dear Friends: It is well that
Friends should commemorate the land
ing OF the founder of Pennsylvania and
the apostle Of their faith Oh the pleasant
shores Of Chester, 2U0 years ago. An event
so picturesque in the surroundings and
circumstances, so important in its results
and influences, is q subject worth q poets
pen or q painters pencil. / should be
glad if it were possible for me to put into
fitting metrical form the thoughts and
emotions which itsa Rakens. but the bur
den Of yesrs begins to. rest heavily upon
me, end I shrink from the effort of hand
ling such theme. In spite of the en-
0eaYor Of the historian, more Tegardful OF
th g display of his rhetoric and sarcasm
thsn historical accuracy and justice, the
memory of VIM. Penn is secure il its
grand outlines and unoutli7ed purity.
He stands and will forever stand with
the gages, statesmen and philanthropists,
of whom the,world Of their day, was not
worthy. he lived snd taught centuries in
advance of his contemporaries, and slowly
hut surely generations since have been
approaching the moral and political
standard which he set up on the shores Of
Delaware. Looking over some old
papers recently, I found sorOe verses
written By me when q boy of sixteen,
nearly sixty years ago. OF course, the
circumstances under which they were
peHned alone entitled them TO notice, but
I venture to send them as the only re-
spouse to this request, which can make.
I SIN trul Lay friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Tho poem referred to is rather a boy
ISL effort on eulogy of VIM. Penn, and
contrasts his method Of dealing with the
Indians with that pursued By others. 1t
was written in 1924.
Poems were read by Mrs. Sarah Ober-
halter and Mary ?. Fswkes, of Chester
County, and Henry S. Kint, of Philadel-
phia. Addresses were also made by
Alfred Il. Lane, president Of the Penn
sylvania Peace Society: Samuel j. Law
lex, of Philadelphia, and others. Ser
vices in all the churches Of this city to-
day were in keeping with the occasion.
Tomorrow the bi-ceutennial of the land
ing Of Penn will be fttingly celebrated.

On the subject of improving highway
roads and the laws governing their MAIN
tenancc, Mr.. G. L. Gould, Of Missouri, has
this to say:
First-Chauge the laws in relation to
road.making so as to conform to the age Of
progress in which we live. Our present
road laws are relic OF past age when it
was difficult to get money to pay taxes and
when the country was sparsely settled and
the burden OF rOad.making fell on Il few
men, mostly farmers. But times have
changed, and all road taxes should be col
lecled in cash, the same us other taxes.
SeCond-l.Ct all roads be divided into
three classcs; the first Class should comprise
all main roads between cities and lOrge
towns; second class, all important country
roads; third class, all other roads.
Tftird-The making and repairing oil
roads should-be let out to the lowest com.
petent and responsible bidder for term Of
not less than five years, who should act
under the instructions Of County Road
Commissioner, who should be surveyor
and civil engineer. Our present road sys.
tern is very faulty. There are really but
few men that are competent oversecrs Of
roads. 1t is next to impossible to get farm
ers to leave their farm work TO work Out

when roads should be graded-namely: the
