Good Roads Progress.

Since the good roads movement was
begun the state and counties Of New
Jersey have spent $2.147,47S in improv-
ing their highways, and up to Dec. IS
last have completed 1892 miles Of
road The state and counties of Mas.
sachusetts during the same period ex
pended $2,637, 300, and built more than
$50 miles Of road, which, according to
Mr.. Mendenhall, is as perfect as any
Of the remarkably highways Of Europe.
The Higbee- Armstrong bill became a
law in New York a little over two years
ago. and there has been an annual ap
preparation OF $4,000 as state aid for
the Improvement Of highways. New
York Is far behind either MasSa-
chusetts or New Jersey, and efforts
will be made at intervals to show that
IL the commerce is to lie retained and
merchandise brought satisfactorily TO
the railroads and canals, upon which
SO much public money is being lavish
ed. the highways must be improved.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Originated In New Jersey More Than
Thirty Years Ago.

The great movement for improved
roads IN the United States originated
it Is generally believed, in Essen cOun
ty. \. j., more than 80 years ago. Some
progressive men in the board of free
holders conceived the idea of building
system of hard roads by the uac-
adam process. and special act was
passed constituting a road board The
bulk OF the cost was assessed upon the
county at large and was provided for
in the annual taxes. Newark paid
four-tifths Of this tax. There was
much opposition and constant protest,
but the work went resolutely on.
The good results soon became evi-
dent East Orange, Montclair and 9th
er suburbs attracted the best class Of
population, and handsome houses went
up by the hundreds. while property
prices enormously Increased. The
roads built were OF excellent Workman
miration of strangers who drove over
them. Union county subsequently pro
cured law for county aid TO road
building and the work was prosecuted
there with the same energy and good
results. This led to the enactment of
the law for state aid, under which hun
dreds of miles Of new improved roads
have been built in all sections Of the
state. In Essex county the improve
ment has gone on under the. state aid
act until the county Is network Of
good roads. For road improvements
projected for the present year the coun-
ty will pay about $50, 900.
The law imposes one-thlrd Of the
cost of new roads on the state, 10 per
cent on the property owners and the
balance on the county. By the new law
townships can petition independently
of the board Of freeholders for state
aid, and this will promote road build,
ing In counties which have been back.
ward by reason Of the unwillingness of
the county authorities to assume the
countys share Of the cost.

Ill within the last 10 years. Afterward
the railway came, and their system Of
highways was found 50 useful that
they have been kept up and, indeed,
improved.
In this country. particularly In the
west. the railway was usually built
first. and the highway IN the beginning
WAS Il COW trail or mule trail. Ii after
ward became wagon trail, and no
care was taken TO keep the grade down
or the surface smooth We have in
this country OF ours nearly 2OO,oOO
miles of railway and very few miles
of good road outside Of our cities and
parks.
II has been claimed that We DO not
need better highways because Of our
excellent system Of railways. This is
absurd. Every pound OF freight which
is carried by the railways, except such
as is loaded at factories, quarries,
mines, etc, AT side tracks, must first
be carried over our highways: every
passenger who travels on the railway
must, to reach the railway, first pass
over some portion Of the highways. 1t
can safely be said that the highways
of this country carry more passengers
and more freight than the railways,
but of course for shorter distance.
General Roy Stone, when he was en-
siseer in chief of the department OF
agriculture. said that the annual cost
of hauling in this country over the
highways was S9i6. 4,G6j, General
Stone estimated that nearly twO-thirdS
of this vast expenditure ia chargeablt
TO the bad condition Of the roads.

There are, 1t is estimated 100000
miles of highway in the United States,
about 20 per cent Of the roads Of all
the world. Great Britain has 10000
miles of roadways, and these are some
Of the best In the world. Germany has
215,000 miles Of roads. and some Of
them are as poor as the roadways Of a
great country can be. France, which
has taken an enlightened view of the
good roads question for many years
and has spent by governmental or local
authority more than S10O0,000 900 on
highways, has n road mileage Of 800,
00O more than any other country. Rus
sia, with an enormous area. has only
10000 miles Of roadways. while Italy,
smaller country, has $4,000. Wide
tires for heavy loads are prescribed in
all these countries.

His guardian accepted the invitation
somewhat stiiliy. Tom led the way to
his fathers study, and Matthews fol
lowed. The lawyers stiffness was
largely due to the fact that Tom had
been leading the way all evening and
he following with docilty. The con
SpicuouS homage which he as giver of
the feast and father of the fair debu-
tante had looked forward to as his
own share of sweets had been frankly
transferred to Rufus BroXtonS son as
master of the house.
Toms unexpected appearance on the
scene had given his guardians temper
the first rub the wrong way. His sub
sequent etfuSve reception by the old
neighbors had not proved modifying.
He had been hailed by his fathers

had been showed quite into the back

Apart from these minor pricks, the
lawyer realized with start of discom-
fort that from a sad, listless plant
boy his ward had developed into Il
vigorous, handsome young man, alert,
intelligent and the possessor of de-
cided views of his own on various sub.
jects. Dsagreeable vistas were open
ing ahead.
He should have liked very much in
deed to have pinched the youngsters
ears for speaking of Miss Matthews as
"a dear little thing" but, that being
manfestly impracticable, he compr0

"No good whatever Is subserved by
indiscriminate denunciation OF cor
porations generally, and of all forms
Of industrial combination in particu-
lar. A, crude or ill-considered effort
to remedy them would either be ao-
solutely without effect or else would
simply do damage" Speaking OF the
acquisition OF the Philippines he says
that "there Is nothing even remotely
resembling imperialism or 'm'litar-
ism involved In the present develop
ment of that policy of expansion
which has been part of the history OF
America from the day when she De-
came a nation"

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 1s.--At p
mass convention of Missouri populists
in Strope's hall Monday afternoon res
olutions were unanimously adopted

lican chances were hopeless. The
sense of the resolutions adopted Is
embodied in this paragraph:
Recognizing the Importance Of the
success Of the struggle being waged
against trusts, imperialism and kin
dred evils by our allies, the demo-
Gratis, we earnestly urge every true
populist to cast his vote for the demo-
cratic nominees for electors and the
various state Offices.
