HIGH PRINCIPLES THE REMEDY.
DR. MACARTHUR SAYS THE GOSPEL FUR
NIsHEs THE CURE FOR ALL ILLS
CONNECTED WITH LABOR

At Calvary Baptist Church last night the Rev.
DR. Macarthur spoke on THE Christ as the Recon-
ciler in Relation Employers and Employed" He
said in part:
Great questions connected with labor engage
the thoughts Of the American people. These Ques-
tions viii enter largely into political discussions
during the next Presidential campaign. We ought
TO broaden our definition Of workingmen. 1t ought
10 include all workers with brain truly work
ers with hand Brain sweat is more exhaustins
than that Of any other part OF the body.
The preac cher of the true Gospel has a remedy for
all ills connected with labor. He must strive
put in the hearts Of the employers spirit of fair
ness, Of justice Of kindness and of brotherhood.
This spirit will save the world from riots, lawless
ness and every form of injustice. It will change
the whole atmosphere of every workshop and fac
tory throughout the world. II would make arbitra-
ton effective when troubles arise. and would pre-
vent the occurrence of difficulty. The pulpit must
urge employers to respect the manhood and wom-
anhood Of all their employees. They are not to be
thought OF as hands, but and women.
Idle, rich young men are among the most danger
classes In the community They virtually
Anarchists, for they live contrary to the laws Of
God, revealed in His Word and written in the
human constitution. We have reason TO be thank
ful that many Of the rich young of America
are learning their obligations to their time. to their
country and to their The problem of the
millionaire is recent problem. Miionaires are
learning the meaning of the old French proverb.

THE GOOD ROADS OF EEW-JERsEE.
MOVEMENT ORIGINATED IN ESSEX COUNTY
THIRTY YEARS AGO


The great movement for improved roads IN the
United States originated It IS generally believed.
in Essex County. n. J.. more than thirty years
ago. Some progressive men in the Board OF Free
holders conceived the idea OF building system OF
hard roads by the macadam process, and a special
act was passed constituting a Road Board Ine
bulk OF the cost assessed upon the county at
large and provided for in the annual taxes
Newark paid four-hfths OF this tax There was
much opposition and constant protest. but the
The good results soon became evident East
Orange, Montcair and other 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 workmanship, and excited the wonder
and admiration Of strangers who drove over them
Union County subsequently procured 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 hundreds OF miles OF new
improved roads have been built IN all sections or
the State In Essex County the Improvement has
gone on under the State Aid act until the county
IS a network OF good roads For road improve
ments projected for the present year the county
will pay about $500
The law imposes one-third OF the cost Of new
roads on the State 10 per cent the property
owners, and the balance the county BY the
new law townships petition independently OF
the Board Of Freeholders for State aid. and this
will promote road building IN counties which have
been backward by reason of the unw1llingneSs OF
the county authorities to assume the eOuntyR
share Of the cost

probable that Mr. Grout will make personal hght

attention to the matter is as follows:
