STATE AID IS POPULAR.
New York to Spend Fifty Million Doll
lars In the Creation Of q Good
poads system.

When Col. Brownlow, OF Tennessee,
introduced bill in congress appro-
priating $20,00O,00o as a fund for ma
tional aid to rood improvement in the
United States good many people
were startled at the size of the fig
ures. The amount, however, seems
very small compared with the sum
that Q single state now proposes to
raise and spend. The New York legis-
lasdre has adopted constitutional
amendment proposing to raise and
spend $5,000,000 annually for ten
years, or $5O,o00,000 n~,all. This
amendment must pass the legislature
again in 1908, and then it will 60 be-
fore the people for ratification or re.
lection. 1t can reasonably be expected
that the measure will meet with
popular favor. The people of New
York have given the principle of state
aid thorough trial and the results
have been highly satisfactory.
One of the objections most loudly
urged against both state and national
aid is that it will encourage local
communities to neglect the improve
ment of their roads and depend on
the state and the federal government
to do the work for them. But this
objection has proven to be purely
imaginary. In no place where state
aid has been tried, has any such re-
suit appeared. On the contrary aid
from the state treasury only stimu-
lates local self help. 1t arouses warm
competition among the counties and
townships to secure a share OF the
state aid funds. Instead of sitting
down and folding their hands. as pre-
dicted, the local communities are
raising a great deal more money I'M
der the stimulus of state aid than
they did before.
A very important advantage that
comes from state aid is intelligent
supervision in laying out roads, Sc
lecting materials and in methods OF
construction. This may mean all tho
difference between success and fall
ure. Every year millions of the PEG
pies hard-earned dollars are wasted
virtually thrown away. in fruitless
attempts to patch up bad roads. to fill
mud holes and &c improve roads with
unnecessary steep grades. all because
there is no one in charge with the
knowledge, judgment and authority
to do the work as it ought to be
done.
What is said of the advantages of
state aid applies all the more forcfbly
to national aid. Its effect will be far
reaching. 1t will quicken the pulse
of the whole nation. 1t will arouse
universal activity. "Good Roads"
will become the peoples watchword
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. A quarter of century
of work under national and state aid
should give the United States the
best system of roads in the world in
stead of almost the worst as at pres
ent.
1t looks now as If national aid is
bound to come IN the near future. AL.
ready the state legislatures OF Ala
bama, Tennessee, Wisconsin, New
Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota
have put themselves on record in its
favor.

SIGNING THE PLEDGE.

In common usage the term employed
in the headline has reference to the
drink habit. There are innumerable
forms of pledges. but when a man says
he has signed the pledge, or declined
to sign the pledge, there is never any
doubt as to what pledge he means.
And, by the way, there are a great
many temperate men who decline to
sign the pledge. They do not drink
intoxicating liquors, yet they object to
binding themselves not to drink They
claim that they do not need the pledge,
and that they wish TO be left free to
exercise their own pleasure. Mr.. James
B. Dunn, general secretary of the Ma
tional Temperance Society, argues that
such persons ought to take the pledge,
because of it's moral influence upon
others. THE pledge" he says, us not
the cause but the effect of our abb
stinence. We are not abstainers be-
cause we are pledged, but we are
pledged because we are abstainers."
He points out that the pledge will he
found at the bases of all the best re-
ldllOnS Oh lie. Inc nome ana the
family are founded upon the pledge
taken at the marriage altar. The
church is an aggregation of pledged
persons, from the highest official to
the humblest layman. The government
rests upon pledges, from the Presi-
dent of the United States to the cross
roads constable. Each must take an
| oath of Office. The law rests upon
pledges. Every judge. lawyer, juror
and witness must be pledged before he
can discharge his functions. In BUSH
ness, too, the pledge governs. Negotia-
able papers are the pledges of their
makers. Written or oral agreements
between men are pledges that each
party will perform certain things. Gov
ernments exchange pledges with each
| other in the form of treaties. Politi-
cal parties pledge themselves to the
| people to bring about certain reforms.
| Destroy the pledge in every form"
says Mr.. Dunn, land you destroy what
| is the only salvation of the weak in
human society, and the only reliable
safeguard of the strong"

Handmade philosophy.

Bad cooking gives us dyspepsia and
good cooking leads to the govt, says

talk just as much about dyspepsia as
he may of the govt, if he has it.
The health food and the automobile
have taken prestige over the coal
strike and the ice man as subjects of
jokes. 1t is not within the reach of
all to ride in an automobile, but in
this land of the free there is none
so poor that he may not be struck by
one.
But the health food-gibes cannot
wither, nor testing stale, it's infinite
variety.
Be it baled, boxed, or bottled, it is
in demand, and properly.
None of it. is as queer as the names
it bears, and nearly all of it is better
than it looks.
Now that we do not have to digest
our food, speed the day when we will
not have to work for it.
1t is solving the servant question,
for when Honora strikes, all that need

And in time it will mean a new chair
in the colleges-that of the applied
science of health foods.

Mr.. BrNnn.s WeaIth.

When people attempted to joke Col.
Bryan about his increasing wealth,
says the Chicago Record-Herald, he
always replied in a bantering way,
saying that he had not yet selected
the site for a house in Fifth avenue;
or that he had visited Newport to
choose q residence, or that he intend
ed to move his Nebraska farm to New
York and cut it up into town lots.
One day, when somebody had the
nerve to remind him that he had pre-
dicted the ruin of everybody and
everything unless we had free silver
and a Democratic President, he re-
torted that he had never fixed date
for that calamity and that there was
plenty of time for it yet. When some
body asked him what he was worth
he replied seriously that he supposed
he could sell out for $4,000. but it
made a heap of difference in the value
of an estate whether the owner was
compelled to sell or offered it from
choice"
