the officers of the First regiment
had been notified officially Of the
possibility of war and instructed as
to making preparations for it, but
declined to an swer.
1t is known semi-officially, how
ever, that Colonel Darrow has re-
ceived such notification, and has so
informed his subordinate officers,
and that he has had frequent con-
situations with the war depart
ment relative to the efficiency and
standing Of the First regiment.
1t is also known that acquisitions
have been made out and are being
held in readiness for full com
plement Of arms, caissons, wagons,
ETC., from the war department for
the use of the First regiment in
case of war, and that the First,
standing as it does at the head Of

Good Roads and Morality

In a recent article in the Chau-
tauquan the effect of improved
highways upon the public morals
is very cleverly shown. Says the
writer in one portiCn of the article
at might be unsafe to say that
wherever the roads are good the
morals are good,' or that had roads
are sure indication of bad morals
among the people who live beside
them. There would, however, be
little risk in assuming the eXcell-
ent highways are conducive to
right living and to intelligent re.
gard for the best that enlightened
life affords. A road is always n
thing of influence. From the COW
path up to the doubletrack rail
way, every line of habitual move
ment marked out by man and his
domestic and commercial agents Is

Thrift and success naturally flow
over the smoothest and shortest
routes. 1t has been we'll said that
easy transit is the secret Of brother
hood, because distance overcome is
the measure of social solidity. A
mile of impossible road completely
breaks up the unity Of sentiment
upon which true moral safety rests.
Our neXt-door neighbor may be a
league distant, yet bicycle and Il
good highway bring him very close ;
the town may be ten miles from
our home, but the horseless car
riage will render the fact insigni
ficant. On good railway we fly
from the wintry SHOWS of Boston to
the balmy breezes of New Orleans
in two days or less. 1t all depends
upon a road. Who shall say that
life does not catch a tremendous
moral force from the bettering Of
the highways? Churches, schools,
workshops, manufactures, studios,
older and better the
roads the more of these. Refined
manners are spread far and wide
where there IL easy communication
between the centers Of urban cul-
ture and the scattered country
