WE NEED GOOD ROADS.
question of Improved Highways ~f
Great Importance

Great importance
The question Of road building in this
country Is receiving, as 1t should. in
creased attention from the public of
late, says the Washington Times ed
ltorially. There Is no topic on which
discussion is more profitable and none
upon which it is more important that
pubic Interest should be awakened.
The problem has been in this coun.
Try an exceedingly difficult one, owing
10 the immense extent Of territory
over which highways have to extend
ana the diversified nature of it. In
no other civilized country has a sin
gle modern government had to wrestle
with the problem of making good
Solld roads over thousands Of miles OF
country, some sandy, some swampy,
some mountainous and all more or less
untamed by the hand of man. The Ro-
mans laid foundations Of good roads
all over Europe and still remain the
champion road builders Of the ages
But we had no Romans in this country
10 lay foundations for US, nor had we
Darbarians whom we could press into
involuntary service to do the stone
breaking even If we had wanted to
emulate the works Of Caesar
Another thing which has complicated
the matter of making turnpikes is the
rapid and phenOmenally successful de-
VelOpment of the railroads. They have
cast their network Of steel wires all
over the country and absorbed the
transportation business, so that where
they went it was not so very neces-
sary to have roads that would stand
heavy hauling or promote fast drty-
ing. In Kentucky, famous for her good
roads, travel by coach or horseback
was common, and it was worth while
Tor the community to make 1t easy and
swift Moreover, the contiguration of
the country favored road building.
OF late years the bicycle associations
have urged an Improvement in the
highways. A bicycle is a less patieut
animal than the horse In some respects.
1t will work untiringly as long as it is
humOred, but it has to be humored. A
good horse will endure-because he
must-struggling out Of q bog hole
which has mired him to the depth Of q
foot or two, or picking his way over a
siding mountain path covered with
rolling stones, but nobody can get a
bicycle to do that. A horse will stand
the spur, whereas if a spur was used
on the tire of Il bicycle it would calmly
lie down ia the road In short. the
wheel Is an eXacting creature to ride
and the bicyclst very soon discovers
that for his own comfort if he intends
to ride that wheel at his own sweet
will he will have to bestir himself
and make the legislatures provide good
roads for him to travel.
By whatever means the roads are
improved, it is well that 1t should be
done. The difference between a good
road and bad one may mean much to
the community. 1t may make or mar
the civilization of the whole region to
be more or less accessible by turnpike.
The quicker this matter of public high
ways receives proper attention the bet
ter off the country will be.

Of Conversations With Schley,
Intimated by Latter's
Counsel.
iE CORROBORATED M'CALLA
AS to What Occurred at a Council,
Held on scniey,s Fiagship-Rayner
Pointed Out Differences Between
Reports of Evans and Sampson.

Washington, Oct 2-The Schley
court of inquiry made good Roadway
again, concluding with Admiral Evans
and hearing three new Witnesses; al
though the testimony Of one of them
was not concluded when the court ad
journed until today. Admiral Evans
testimony was along the same general
lines as was his statement of Mon
day, but some points were presented
In greater detail ia response to aues-
lions by Mr.. Rayner. The new wit
pesses were Captain Sigsbee, who
commanded the scout St Paul during
the Santiago campaign, Mr.. Thomas
W. Dienaide, newspaper correspond
ent, who was ON the Texas during thc
battle of July 3, and Chief Yeoman
Gustaye &c. Becker, who was a clerk
U Admiral Sampson during the war
The testimony of Evans was in part
as follows:
Mr. Rayner began his interrosations
by asking the witness concerning the
secret code Of signals for commune
eating with the Cuban insurgents near
Cienfuegos. The admiral said that
when Captain Chadwick communicate
ed this code TO him he did not instruct
him TO give the information TO Com
modore Schley
