Administration, and alternating popular
favor. He was for policy of quiet
"trust in the American people and in
Theodore Roosevelt" But he was
quite overborne by the appeal of the
Rev. Mr.. Boynton, who said that he
came from the West--"the West that
is 1mperiallstic. and that loves Theo-
dore Roosevelt that he was there
to call upon the Unitarian churches to
meet boldly "the great moral issue of
the hour" He asserted that the reso-
lutions before them stood for "a ris.
ing tide of feeling which Is sweeping
up and down this country" and that
the heart Of the people was every
where crying out, Let us have done
with enmity, and let us begin friend
ship!' Other spirited addresses
sounded a similar note, and the major
ity vote for the resolution was large
and enthusiastic.
BY thus taking lead among relig.
ious gatherings, the American Uni
| tartan Association has furnished what
will be landmark in the history OF
the Philippine agitation. Sneers at the
| Unitarians as feeble and fastidious
( folk will no doubt be heard; but the
sneerers would do well to remember
the honorable prominence of the Uni
tartan church In that other great mora
issue which was thrust ut the Amer
ican people until they settled it, ant
settled It right abolition of slav
cry. Other Christian denominations
would be prouder of their own annal,
today II any one of them could poin
to such names as Charming and Park
err and May in its list Of anti-slayer,
leaders. We do not affirm that Uni
tartan clergymen are more sensitiv,
than others on questions touching thu
national conscience; they have only {
greater freedom of speech than mem
bers of other denominations, and per
haps feel more pressing upon then
the tradition of courage in mora
causes. We could wish that the min
listers of other churches were prophet
even as they; but pending the cominl
over of the others, we can but hail thi
action of American Unitarians as on
of great significance and promise.
The Unitarian resolutions about tn
Philippines have the obvious merit o
proposing to do something. The Obi
Republicans would leave us hopeless

What Is needed by our people in the
matter of public roads are education
and agitation, with view to securing
the appointment by the next legislature
Of n commissioner Of public roads, says
the GoldsDoro On. c. Argus. Such a
man must be a competent man. He
must not only know good road when
he sees it, but he must be able to build
a good road. He must also be man
who can talk to the people. who can
tell county commissioners how to place
bOnds-an educator, In fact. He must
visit every county in the state at least
twice a year. In order to secure
competent man he must be paid liv-
ing salary-say $500 a year. or about
500 a county. And such man will be
well worth to any county many times
that sum each and every year.

During the past season well on to

In Cuyahoga county, leading out Of

Wherever it has been laid, either in

invigorating the entire body. 1t is Vi
MOL, the great tonic reconstructor, that

A CLEVER PLAN.
Cow Ray Township Got Its Good
Gravel Roads.

Eow Ray Township Got Its Good
Gravel Roads.
Probably Ray township, in Macomb
county, Mich, has the best gravel
roads Of any township in that state,
says II. s. Earle in Good Roads Maya
zine. This is the result Of the efforts
Of Gil X. LovejOy, who is such strong
advocate Of good roads that he wouldn't
be contented until the highways were
what they should be.
Mr.. Lovejoy prevailed upon the board
TO buy gravel pit; then he urged ev-
cry farmer to haul load of gravel
home every time he passed the pit and
put it on the road In front Of his own
farm.
Once begun, the farmers saw what
an improvement gravel is over the an
nual scraped back, wornOut earth. The
board then purchased two more pits in
different parts Of the township and, at
the suggestion Of Mr.. Lovejoy, offered
81 day to farmers with teams to haul
gravel in the winter and place it on
one side Of the road one winter and on
the other side the next
The first winter the farmers turned
out strong. and the town had to pay
for 200 days work, which was big
starter.
Each year for several years the town
ship has made an appropriation Of from
$1,000 to $500, and today practically
all Of the roads of the township are
graveled.
This is cheap but sure way to get
better highways, not, of course, equal
to those scientifically built by the use
Of road machines, but n big improve

from the bitches into the roadway ev-

William Allen Whites Cleveland" in
the February McClure's is one of the
best of his political sketches. Almost
every paragraph is quotable and some
passages. particularly those dealing
with the turbulent events of Cleveland's
second term. and Cleveland's share in
them, thrill with the dramatic energy and
the vitality of the man they portray.
In summing up Mr.. White says:
Cleveland, as a statesman. will be
remembered as the men who stopped
things. He checked abuses; he prevent
ed bad men from accomplishing their
schemes; he warded off impending ca
lamity; he reduced revenues and saved
taxes; he stayed the ebbing tide of pub
lie credit; he throttled anarchy; he stop
ped foreign ACKNOWLEDGMENT on the
American continent Always he was
the safety valve. He brought no new
doctrine to the people; he had no theory
of government-merely an ideal of
duty for the hour. He founded no in
stitution; in the political life of his time
he constructed nothing. He will be re-
membered as one who every hour OF
the working day did what he thought
was exactly right, and who never at
tempted to guide the current of the
public business, but always to see that
the business was wisely and honestly
done He was a modest, industrious
public servant who lived so closely the
motto: "A public office is a public trust
that people came to believe that he in
vented (which he did not. His name
was never linked with any policy, and
no law on the statute books of his coun-
try is known as Cleveland's law. He
tried to efface his personality, but it
was so strong and distinctive and
pungent with maSculinity that it dom
mated everything he did in spite of his
aversion to public politics. Yet he will
never be a hero, because he did not live
a dramatic life. He must remain to
posterity a disembodied spirit, an ideal
of honesty bearing a mans name-the
symbol of a national inspiration toward
public virtue"
