Good Roads.

1t is to be earnestly hoped that
the Forticth General Assembly Of
Of Missouri will approach the sub
jcct of Good Roads legislation in
that spirit Of progress and friendli
ness towards legitimate public i'm
provcmcnt which shall result
in the early beentit of the Good
Roads movement.
Tcat the interests Of the people
of the State will be greatly advanc-
ed by the systematic lettering of the
roads no one may reasonably deny.
Such improvement means notable
lesscning of the cost of shipping
State products to market, an inevi-
table increase of general traffic, and
a most desirable addition to the
elements to the best development
of the State. The Good-Roads
problem is receiving the attention
of many States at the present time.
The General Assembly can do
much to put Missouri in the front
in::solving that problem most practi-
cally and conclusively.
1t is more than likely that the
Good Roads convention recently
held in st. Louis exercised an in
fluencc that will be perceptible in
the action Of the Legislature con-
vening this week in Jefferson City.
Meetings held throughout the State
since that time should also add to
this influence. The members elect
of the Fortieth General Assembly
are thoroughly posted as to public
sentiment upon this important
topic. They have it in their power
to do excellent work in the public
interest by furthering the move
mcnt for good roads in Missouri
Republic.

IT has lately been reported that
one or two of the foreign powers are
endcavoring to place Il national
loan in this country. The accumu-
lations of gold-the money of the
world-have lately become so great
in the United States that it makes us
financially Independent of Europe,
and so reyerscs former conditions
that Europe now looks to us for
money. Our financial independence
of Europe's money markets was
still more clearly demonstrated
when the war bonds issued by the
present administration, to the
amount of two hundred million
dollars, were subscribed for several
times over by the American people.
We heard great deal about the
United States becoming financially
independent of Europe during the
political campaign of 1896, and
somewhat less during the campaign
of last year, from Mr.. Bryan and
his political friends. That indie
pendcnce is now here. 1t did not
come to us FROM an oyerturning of
our monetary system, coupled with
the declaration set forth in the
Chicago platform, an independence
which involved reputation of i'll
debtedncss and dcbased currency.
We did not have to coin silver free
at the ratio of Is to 1 to win it.
No. 1t has come to us through
the wonderful wealth h-creating Gu
pacity of the American people,
backed up by the honesty of theil
intentions to sustain their nationa

the people on par with their hon
csty.

THE Democrats are desperately
and blindly grasping about for an
issue upon which to combat the
Republican party with any hope of
success. Some want silver to con-
tinue to be the leading issue, others
seem to think anti-expansion the
best hold to take, and still others
are urging a fight upon the trusts
as the best issue. Our friends on
the other side are evidently torn up
