League of American Wheelmen, whose
membership, understand, is fast climb.
ing to the 100, 900 mark, has done a
vast amount Of work in making right
public sentiment.
"We must not forget that among these
wheelmen are thousands of farmers and
their SONS; statesmen, diplomats, mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers,
capitalists, mechanics, workmen-men
from all walks Of life-as good people
as we have, patriotic, public spirited,
pushing citizens, whose power is being
felt more and more in many laudable
directions. fused to look with suspicion
upon their efforts. do so no longer, fot
I have never known them to take up any
work that did not mean more for Others
than it did for themselves.
"I must not forget my own profes.
sion. Why, I can hardly pick up an ex.
change in which there is not reference
to the good roads subject. Look at this,
just clipped from widely circulated
publication. The editor was talking
about a proposed piece Of good,.road be-
tween two western cities. His closing
paragraph is worthy Of close study and
is as follows:
"But these roads cannot all be built
in one year. The county board should
lay out plan for road improvement
covering a number Of years A given
number Of miles might be allotted to
be completed each year. All parts OF
the county might be included, and in
time a system of roads would be built
that would be a credit to the county
and a saving to the farmers. Perhaps
if the sessions Of the county board were
to be held in the early spring months,
instead of in the fall, when we nearly
always have good roads, we might see
something substantial accomplished.
"Here is paragraph from Mime
sofa paper that attributes the failure OF
four merchants in March to bad roads.
The roads were so bad that collections
could not be made. Oh, yes, my profess
sion is doing its part in fastening the
good roads era"
The conversation was encouraging,
very, and indeed rather inspiring, for
what the old editor said is true. The
agitation is indeed widespread. 1t must
result in the upbuilding Of the required
good roads sentiment.

GOOD ROADS COMING.

ment-Men From All Walks Of Life
Have Enlisted In the Cause.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
those who have studied the signs of the
times that an era Of road improve
ment has dawned on this country. Con-
tinued agitation has awakened the peo-
pie to the necessity of action. The &C.
dar Rapids Gazette tells the story OF
progress in conversation between an
old editor and farmer.

has been in the harness for nearly 40
years, ~ see signs which indicate the
certain approach Of an era of good road
building, and I look upon it as one OF
the best signs Of the times.
81 infer that you think it high time
for such an era," remarked farmer
subscriber who had dropped in for lit
tie financial transaction.
"I surely do. In fact, I can't find
even the shadow Of an excuse for any
more delay in its journey our way. /
only wonder why, when advances are
being made in so many other respects,
some of which are Of little Importance
compared with the roads over which
many millions must pass each year, that
the day Of practical planning for better
roads did not begin several decades
ago."
"May I ask what it is that gives you
encouragement that there is approach
ing revolution in the matter Of roads,"
asked the farmer, adding that he was
"aware that good roads mean more to
me and my brother farmers than to any
other class" and that he was anxious
to see the work go on.
"Agitation, sir, agitation-the prac-
tical agitation that is going on in every
direction. Why, the ministers are
preaching about it, educators are lectur-
ing on the subject, the farmers, at least
all who are organized, and they are or
ganized in nearly all the states, are
awakening to it's Importance to them,
personally-to their purses and comfort.
Few, if any, Of the farmers institutes
have passed without more time being
given to good road agitation than to al
most any other question.
,"The question has been taken up in
one way or another in 30 different legis-'
latures, and the discussion on the vari-
ous measures touching better roads has
been farreaching, the papers quoting
more or less from the bills and the
speeches. Debating societies in thou
sands of schools have discussed the good
roads question. Hundreds Of thousands
Of men and women who ride wheels

No trouble of any kind ever comes

No trouble of any kind ever comes
to US but something that will be a
blessing to us if only we will accept it.
1T is not considered good form to
say word against anyone. An lima
tured criticism is social blunder. Cos
sip, too, is really going out of fashion.
If we grow bitter in suffering adj
versity, or Meeting trial, hurt comes to
us from the eXperience-the hurt is in
the bitterness, not in the experience.
The things about which man frets
and twists are things that have never
happened in his career, and happen
these fears never will.
We don't know each others bur.
dens-the weight or the beauty of
them and we don't often know what
is inside our own. We shall find that
out when we get to the top.
