paper in New York City. 81 have no
idea Of publishing religious daily"
said DR.. Parkhurst What the people
want is news-clean, wholesome news,
that will educate and elevate them, not
degrade. The point of sensationalism
to which the news Of today is exploited
in some papers is simply disgusting and
degrading. l consider the endowment
of such an ideal newspaper of greater
advantage than giving away to either
home or foreign missions and of infinite
ly greater value to the education OF the
people than even the building of libra
raries."

MICHIGAN interests should prepare to
do all in their power 70 make a success )
of the international conference on good
roads to be held in Detroit, Feb. -, and
Il. The importance of the subject has
been kept before public attention for
some years, but the work has been
largely educational and anything like
adequate improvement has been done
but by few OF the states. Yet this is
one Of the great economic questions.
Good roads return TO a community
much more than the cost. They make
transportation cheaper and eaiser in
every way. They are available at all
seasons of the year, and during larger
portion Of the time make one trip do
what would require from three to ten
with bad roads. With an equitable dis.
tribution Of the cost the improvement
of roads il one of the best and most re-
munerative open to the farmers of the
country. The Legislators will be in at
tendance, and there will be golden op-
portunity for impressing them with
the Importance of the subject.
