Now that Senator Hanna, who

seat adjoining that of Senator

it has been jokingly suggested
that Senator Jones, of Ark ansas

should move his seat alongside
of those of the other Charm Ell

has gone to her rescue.
The Puritan after leaving
Charleston was obliged to anchor
in Saturdays storm and shortly
afterwards it was discovered that
one of her engines was disabled
and that she could make but lit
lie Roadway against the heavy
seas.
After an exceptionally slow
trip, however, she arrived off
Hatteras last Tuesday evening
when it was working badly.
The Puritan steamed back and
forth in front of the life saving
station, signalling her condition
to the life savers, who patrolling
the beach all night, so as to give
immediate aid should it be re-
quiled.
Captain Bartlett managed to
keep off shore all night, however
and early Wednesday morning he
wired the department that one
engine was disabled and he could
not depend on the other, and
that he must have a convoy to
tow him to Hampton Roads.
The triple screw cruiser Col
umbia was at once ordered to
the rescue of the monitor, but
she can scarcely reach her des>
tination before tomorrow morn
ing. The distance is over 2oc
miles from Hampton Roads ard
the Columbia is not expected in
her present condition to run
over IS knots an hour as a max
imum. Captain Sands, of the
Columbia, telegraphed the de
partment that he would leave
at 3 o'clock, which would bring
him off Hatteras at 5 o'clock to-
morrow morning. In the mean
time the naval authorities hope
the gale will not increase anc

ing to the 100, 900 mark, has done a

ave must not forget that among these

capitalists, mechanics, workmen-men
from all walks of life-as good people
as we have, patriotic, public spirited,
pushing citizens, whose power is being
felt more and more in many laudable
directions. fused to look with suspicion
upon their efforts. do so no longer, for
l have never known them to take up any
work that did not mean more for others
than it did for themselves.
81 must not forget my own profess
sion. Why, can hardly pick up an ex-
change i'll which there is not a reference
to the good roads subject Look at this,
publication. The editor was. talking
about proposed piece of good road be-
tween two western cities. His closing
paragraph is worthy of close study and
is as follows:
"'But these roads cannot all be built
in one year. The county board should
lay out plan for road improvement
covering a number of years. A given
number of miles might be allotted to
be completed each year. All parts of
the county might be included, and in
time system of roads would be built
that would be a credit to the county
and saving to the farmers. Perhaps
if the sessions of the county board We're
to be held in the early spring months,
instead of i'll the fall, when we nearly
always have good roads, we might see
something substantial accomplished.
Here is paragraph from Mime
sofa paper that attributes the failure of
four merchants in March to bad roads,
The roads were SO bad that collections
could not be made. Oh, yes, my profess
sion is doing its part in fastening the
good roads era"
The conversation was encouraging.
very, and indeed rather inspiring, for
what the old editor said is true The
agitation is indeed widespread. 1t must
result in the upbuilding of the required
good roads sentiment.

GOOD ROADS COMING.
THERE is NO INSTALLING THE SIGNS

Widespread Discussion Has Shown the
ment-Men From All Walks of Life
Have Enlisted In the Cause.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
those who have studied the signs of the
times that an era of road improve
ment has dawned on this country. Con-
tinued agitation has awakened the peo-
pie to the necessity of action. The Ce-
dar Rapids Gazette tells the story of
progress in conversation between an
old editor and farmer.
cat last" said the old editor, who
has been in the harness for nearly 40
years, 81 see signs which indicate the
certain approach of an era of good road
building, and 1 look upon it as one of
the best signs of the times.

tie financial transaction.
~ surely do. In fact, I can't find
oNcu IllS sHduOW VI al SACusJ III any

only wonder why, when advances are
being made in so many other respects,
some of which are of little Importance
compared with the roads over which
many millions must pass each year, that
the day of practical planning for better
roads did not begin several decades
ago"
MAY ask what it is that gives you
encouragement that there is approach
ing revolution in the matter of roads?"
asked the farmer, adding that he was
"aware that good roads mean more to
me and my brother farmers than to any
other GLASS;" and that he was anxious
to see the work go ON.
"Agitation, sir, agitation-the prac-
tical agitation that is going on in every
direction. Why, the ministers are
preaching about it, educators are lectur-
ing OH the subject, the farmers, at least
all who are organized, and they are or
ganized in nearly all the states, are
awakening to its Importance to them,
PERSONAL---VERY. their purses and comfort
Few, if any, of the farmers institutes
have passed without more time being
given to good road agitation than to al
most any other question.
"The question has been taken up in
one way Or another in 20 different legis-
latures, and the discussion Oh the vari-
Gus measures touching better roads has
been farreaching, the papers quoting
more Or less from the bills and the
speeches. Debating societies in thou
sands of schools have discussed the good
roads question. Hundreds of thousands
of men and women who ride wheels
have talked more or less on the same
question, and the great national organi-
cation of wheelmen known as the

Combination and individuality.

This is an age of combination, Of
great organization. The individual cap
italist is disappearing in the corpora
ton. The individual laborer is disap-
pearing in the trades union. The power
of the machine in politics is recognized
of all men. Now, l do not call attention
to these tendencies to quarrel with
them, but rather to emphasize the spir-
it that is needful to make them whole
some. The capacity to organize and to
combine is itself indicative of a high
grade of intelligence and of power. We
may reasonably expect from society tri-
umphs greater than the past has ever
seen as result of these tendencies, if
we can strip them of their dangers and
reap only their benefits. If these vari-
GUS combinations can be kept open chan
nels for the opportunity for character
and for capacity, the triumphs of the
past will surely be repeated in the fu-
ture, but if corporation and trades union
and political party, instead of being the
schools of individuality, become the
cause of its extinction, then indeed the
danger is great and serious.
