Senator Chandler on Roa DIS.

At the recent session of the National
League of Good Roads Senator Chandler
of New Hampshire said he thought that
one advantage for this organization
would be the agitation of the subject
and the dissemination of the facts bear
ing on good roadmaking through the
press. He was of the opinion that either
q national road commission should be
appointed or else the secretary of agri-
culture might be instructed to investi-
gate the matter and report the needs to
congress. He assured the delegates that
they would not find congress either slow
in acting or Indifferent to any reasonable
proposition that might be made. He
quoted Secretary of State Seward as say
ing that you can measure the civilization
of u people by the character of its roads.
In this country we have come to de-
pend on the railroads and have neglected
one system of highways. He believed
that the bicycle riders were doing great
deal to call attention to the condition of
the roads. He was glad to hear that the
railroad companies had taken the posi-
ton favorable to this object. AS they
had caused the neglect of the highways,
he thought that it was well that they
should aid this work for their revival.
What they wanted was to have the roads
in such condition that one could drive
in light wagon from Maine to Alaska
without breaking a spoke.
The convention heartily applauded this
sentiment, with which the senator closed
his remarks.

Business and Pleasure.

Good roads are a necessity to the eco
nomic conduct of the farmers business,
yet farmers fail to organize and agitate
on behalf of them. Good roads are a
necessity to the enjoyment of cyclists
recreation, and the cyclists have formed
the strongest single body working for
good roads in the country. Surely bust
ness is more important than pleasure,
and the agriculturist is as farsighted as
the wheelman.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Bad Roads Iniure Fruit.

Sluman S. Bailey, in his address be.
fore the Michigan Fruit Growers asso.
citation, has furnished another excellent
argument for good roads. He shows
how fruit growers lose heavily in dam
age to their produce by reason of jolting
on heavy and uneven roads. Better
roads-the very best roads-will put
money in the pockets of fruit growers,
This same thing is true of other classeo

To THE EpIToR: Please tell rue whether

Norman Baron, or is IL merely poetical

IL is historically accurate. The serfdom
OF England died out gradually and with
out any formal act. Ii is TO the credit of
The early Christian church that il extolled
those who liberated their bondmen. The
Normans were far more liberal than the
Saxons or Danes. and the introduction of
the feudal system was an advance upon
the earlier slavery. VilleIns or ssrfs
could be enfTanehised by either express or
implied maRnmission; aud cut OF implied
manumission grew one of the great En-
glish land tenures-that of copyhold, the
custom Of the manor perpetuated through
several generations creating title which
