OLD POLITICAL ISSUE.
Nations Legislative History Proves
That Govers nsent Can-Ass1se
In Road Du1l1ing.

In the early days OF our national his
tory. whether the general government
should take a hand in making internal
political issues. The matter was fought
out in congress and in political cam
paigns. and finally settled In the afirm-
ative Among the improvements dis
cussed. the building OF roads was prob
ably the most important. Plans we're
made for connecting the different parts
OF the country by national highways.
The national pike was built from Cum
berland. Md. TO the Ohio river. and then
on westward. The plan was TO build on
TO st. Louis. but before that point was
reached the building Of steam railroads
bad begun. and the people lost interest
In the road question.
In these days when river and harbor
bills are looked upon as matter OF
course. and national aid TO road improve
rnert Is considered a novel proposition.
ii is interesting to recall that the ques-
tion of road building by the nation was
n great and burning issue long before

Of IL is also worth noting that pres
idents were vetoinc river and harbor
bills as unconstitutional long after ma
sional aid TO road Improvement had be-
come a settled policy.
II does not seem probable that the
question Of constitutionality will ever
be seriously raised against such legisla-
sion as that proposed in the Brownlow
bill for national aid in the building Of
roads IL can be defended as strongly
as river and harbor legislation under
those clauses Of the constitution which
authorize the federal government tic
promote the general welfare" and tc
regulate commerce between the states.
But in addition TO these. II finds Its
strongest warrant in the authority con-
ferred upon congress TO establish post
roads" provision that Is growing In
practical importance every year with the
extension Of the rural free delivery sys'

God made Adam out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first;
So was made before the man,
To answer Gods most holy plan.
My body He did make complete,
But, without arms, legs or feet.
My way and actions did control,
Yet l was made without a soul.
a living thing l then became,
And Adam gave to me my name,
Then from His presence 1 withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
/ did my Makers laws obey,
From then I never went astray.
Thousands of miles 1 run, 1 fear,
But seldom on the earth appear.
But God in me did something see
And put living soul in me;
A soul of me my God did claim
And took from me that soul again.
But when from me that soul was fed
l was the same as when first made.
And without hands or feet or soul
l travel now from pole to pole.
l labor hard by day and night
To fallen men 1 give much light;
Thousands of people, young and old.
Will by my death great light behold.
No fear of death can trouble me.
For happiness 1 cannot see.
To heaven 1 shall never go.
Nor to the grave, nor hell below.
! The scriptures l cannot believe,
If right from wrong 1 can't conceive.
Although my name therein is found
They are to me an empty sound.
