1t is now about II years since wheel
men began the agitation for better high
ways. The subject then was of no gem
eral interest, and had. up TO that time,
received no attention, except in a few
favored localities where wealthy towns
had begun to improve their streets. 1t

gained for these villages, but their ex-

similar improvements.

"Having used DR.. J. c. Ayers Pills for

a preventive and cure for biliousness, I

Biliousness is in general but symptom
of a more stubborn disorder, constipation.
Constipation is the root of almost all phys

almost all these physical evils by going to

consequent maladies, biliousness, heart

much more likel y to come into intimate
personal contact with road surfaces
than he is at present. His observation
and experience soon convinced him that
highways were generally badly made
and poorly kept, and that their improve
ment would be distinct public gain.
The public at first regarded the
wheelman's advocacy of better roads
as purely selfish move, and this idea
has not even yet been wholly dissipated
but so much investigation and discus
sion have followed in the wake of per-
sistent agitation by cyclists and other
good roads advocates, that it is now fair
ly evident to a considerable part of the
community that the welfare of all class
es would be promoted in many ways
through the establishment and mainte
nance of firm, permanent roadways.
The wheelman, for his part, is better
equipped to traverse poor roads now
than he was prior to 1890, for low bicy-
Giles and pneumatic tires place him at
great advantage as compared with
high machines and hard tires of the
earlier date. If he possessed no public
spirit, his interest in promoting further
improvements might languish, but he
is still found in the forefront of the agi-
tation, and is sure to remain there.
1t is not to be denied, however, that
the work he undertook, and is so active

are, or should be, more deeply interest
ed in it. Nevertheless, he remains loyal
to it, and will continue to do so until
full success is achieved.
But, having gone thus far, and accom-
plished so much, in a general way, it
cannot be considered strange, or dis
loyal to the good roads cause, if wheel
men give more heed to their imme-
date interests, especially in places
in which it is thus far impossible to Sc
cure action on the highways. There
are still many localities in which roads
and paths are unfit for bicycles to travel
over through good portion of the year,
and are at no time good, and it is not
only desirable, but eminently right and
proper, that riders of cycles should en-
deavor to provide decent pathways for
themselves under such circumstances.
There is no conflict in the two ideas.
Hard highways are a natural necessity.
They must eventually come. Many
steps toward securing them have been
taken, but many more remain, and in
the undertaking there will be no harder
or more faithful workers than the
wheelmen of the country.
But smooth side-paths are the only
source of enjoyable riding for thou
sands of wheelmen scattered through
out the land, and are of deep impor-
lance to them. Their construction not
only confers upon such cyclists a
prompt and considerable benefit, but
gives to others permanent illustration
of the advantages conferred by means
of rapid locomotion and Transports

PAY FOR MAIL CARRIERS
STEAMER COMPANIES WANT \
SQUARE DEAL.
VIII Ask the Legislature for Conces-
sions for Vessels Carrying the Mails
Free-Potent Reasons.

For years the steamship companies
engaged in the inter island trade have
been carrying the government mails
free of charge, and have been paying
large sums annually for water and for
wharf privileges. Since the postal de-
partment has been placed on pay.
ing basis, they now believe that the
government is in position to remit
nerate them for the work they do. Ac-
cordingly, a bill will be introduced in
the Legislature within a few ddys,
amending the laws under which the
mails are now carried between the Is
land ports, so as to give the steam
ship companies a fair deal.
The reasons why inter island stea-
mers that run on schedule time shoull
be remunerated by the government
are set forth by the legislator who
has prepared the bill as follows:
The two local steamship companies
pay to the Government in taxes, liceI.-
ses, wharfage, water and other chap
ges. S2S,217.S5 per annum.
"The mails demand the best cargo
space in the ship, also the greatest
care, to prevent theft. In many IN
stances cargo is refused to leave the
space for mail matter.
The Government has instituted
parcel post, which takes away pack
ages from the steamship companies,
and which were a considerable source
of revenue to them. The steamship
companies are now compelled to ear
ry these very same packages free of
charge, the Government deriving ali
the revenue from their carriage.
The steamship companies receive
some thousands of letters each week
which they sort and deliver. These
letters never pass through the post
office at ALL. The steamship compa-
nies have to remunerate their en-
-ployes for this service Besides at
tending to much other routine post
Office work.
I'm all other civilized countries. the
carriage of the mails is one of the
largest sources of revenue to trans
portation companies. No other gov
ernment compels transportation COM
panies to carry the mails free. The
free carriage of the mails is not a con-
sideration for licenses. the two local
companies pay annual licenses to the
amount of $4,2G7 This is larger Ii
cense than is paid in any other coun-
try for steamers of similar size.
I'm the United States, for similar
postal service, the Government pays
100000 per annum. If ordinary
freight rates were paid for the car
riage of the mails. il would amount
to $4,000 per annum, while the con-
cession asked for would he about
$4,000 per annum."
