The Bicyclers and the Roads.

The recent bicycle ride from Chicago did
not do all that its promoters hoped it would
do: but it has already had an influence not
entirely expected in calling the attention of
the public. through the papers. to the con-
dition OF the roads OF the various States
through which the despatch bearers rode.
The roads were abominable. and almost
from the beginning tho men fell behind the
schedule. In going $50 miles. six and half
hours were lost. owing to bad roads: and
though some OF the lost time was recovered
In going through Ohio and Pennsylvania.
at Utica the men were more than five hours
late, Between that place and New York
eight hours more were lost.
Bad roads beginning in Indiana and last
ing into New York city call for something
more vigorous than grumbling. In Indi-
ana. says The Suns account Of the ride.

Tho Ono Supreme, All-Absorbing Issue.

surely a Republican victory as 1t proved

or wrong makes little difference. There
are surely more patriots than there are

Tho United Press bulletins announcing the renom.

the Convention were from three to eight min utes
ahead OF all others at important points and darib

not only with respect Of time OF delivery but of quality
and completeness. Evidences of this were constantly
being received during the progress OF the enton
Wherever the United Press report came into com
petition with any other it was given first place, be-
cause not only first at hand but because of
superiority of style and completeness OF preparation
On the day of the opening OF the the United
Press had the address Of temporary Chairman Fasett
in every office its wires before noon. and the alb
stract furnished to afternoon papers was completed
and on the wires when the Convention adjourned.
The thoroughnrss and promptness with which the
United Press covered tho field was shown by tho vol
OF of the foremost daes in the country Of
the United Press force: There of my
coming here. can't learn half that you people know
of what's going and II could the telegraph com.
pany couldn't get my stun into the office in time"
There were two special incidents that marked, in .
news sense. tho Minneapolis Convention. and the
United Press less successful in its handling of
them than of the general features of tho affair One
these was the determination OF tho Blaine leaders to
place the name Of the Secretary before tho Conven
ton. This was decided upon at a conference held
Saturday night and which did not adjourn until 1913
BY O'Clock the result Of the conference upon the
wires and in tho oce OF every paper receiving the

The other and moro important incident was the

and carried ont with fecrecy that probably I'm.
equaed in tho history OF political maneuvrng; yet.
within fifteen minutes of its close tho United Press
had an exclusive bulletin the wires giving the

Sing down the roads beggared Description.
It was utterly impossible to speed .
bicycle over tho roads. At one time
it took fifteen minutes to cover one
mile. Sacks cut up were TOD pc
tween the handle bars and saddle to eaten
the mud" One OF the riders. who rode sew
eral times. said that during his ride he
was a dozen times waist deepin water. He
was compelled to abandon the roads. and
wend his way at various points through the
woods and along the railroads. and narrow.
ly escaped getting lost half a dozen Times.
These roads were not In new or sparseiy
settled districts, but In the older and richer
States: the very worst OF them seem 10
have been in our Empire State. 1t Is true
that tho weather was unreasonable ana
that the rains were unusually heavy; put
II even skilful bicyclers lost nine hours In
travelling from Utica to this city. 1t may
be imagined. it cannot be described, how
had the roads must have been for travel
lers in wagons.
The present system OF road making, II
system it may be called. has been tried for
a century in this country. and has been
found wanting in every respect. 1t Is time
that some comprehensive and thoughtful
plan OF making and maintaining roads
should be adopted. State maintenance has
been proposed and bill providing for 1t
failed In the last Legislature. Until the
State adopts some general system OF super
vision. probably we shall not have any
great extent OF good roads: but the united
effort OF the Supervisors OF single county
has been known to be productive OF good
results, and it Is to be hoped that some OF
our county managers will take tho initia-
tive in improving their roads.
The line Of improvement Is perfectly
plain: drainage, and intelligent and con-
slant maintenance. II their ride causes an
awakening Of the people to the ahomina-
ton Of tho roads. the blcyclers who failed
gloriously to make their schedule time will
prove to have been more successful than II
they had succeeded.

DR.. RICHARD B. KIAIBALL contributes to
Mrs. LEsLIE's Popular Monthly Magazine an
able and philosophical article on LEO XIII.
DIR. KIMBALL has studied the recent history Of
the Papncy conscentious!y, and in his too
brief article indicates clearly how JOACHIM
PECCI became Pope. the conditions that con-
fronted him. and the steps he has taken to
lead the Roman See from n position Of inert
negation to one of worldwide influence.
Tho questions before the Roman Catholic
world. as DR.. KIMBALL sums them UP. are
four: Shall the seat OF tho Pope remain in
Romep Must tho Pope be an Italian? Ought
the Pope to possess temporal power? II so.
how is it to be regained? To the first question
tho unanimous answer is. Yes To the second
question the answer comes. Why should no
be2 The Church il Catholic. not Italian.
More unsettled even than tho second question
is the third; and on its answer OF course do
ponds tho answer to the fourth. To LEO KILL.
however, the former question answers itself
afrmatively: and DR.. kIMBALL holds that the
sagacity Of "one Of tho most profound stu
dents. philosophers. and scholars and one Of
the nblest diplomatists that ever occupied the
papal chair" will find n way to solve the
problem. il his life Is spared to the Church.
over which he has ruled so wisely.
DR.. KIMBALL's article includes no criticism.
and makes no comparison between creeds:
yet it is not colorless 1t Is a remarkable con-
tributon to the current discussion OF the
Papacy and its future and should be read by
all those interested in that discussion and in
the making OF history.
