SALVATION IN ROADS.
They Are the Great Universal Mis-
sionnries Of Regeneration.

These far fetched notions of the "ru-
raj social settlement" and the institu-
tiOnal rural church, etc, are mere
muunShinc. They are altogether too
visionary and eXtraneous and forced,
says lions Herald They could never
be made to work in actual practice be-
cause SO foreign in spirit and method.
The salvation of the backwoods, like
the salvation of China, lies in opening
up the country. Roads, roads, roads
these are the great universal mission
aries; roads of all kinds-railroads,
electric roads. macadamiZed highways,
bicycle paths-anything that invites
wheels.

selves. That road will be church and
school and lyceun and social emanci-
pator for them. And then, as commu-
nication increases, the electric road
will occupy one side Of the highway,
aud the steam railroad will find it ex-
pedicnt to build competing branch

munity will be walked up and saved.
That is the logic Of the situation as
some of us see it.

4 great injustice has been done the
farmers in expecting them alone to
shoulder the responsibility and the ex-
pense of building country roads. while
the construction of canals has been
heavily subsidized, while rivers have
been made navigable by the govern
ment ana while untold millions have
been showered upon railroads by cities,
villages, counties. states and the nation
in stock and bond subscriptions, cash
donations and grants of boundless
tracts of public lands. 1t Is time to
do away with the cruel injustice which
places upon farmers and upon the
small fraction of property in the state
which they own the entire burden Of
building highways.
