MILLIONS FOR eooDiRoADs.
Great State Of New York Leading a
UsuaI.

When Col. Brownlow, Of Tennessee,
introduced a bill in congress appro-
priating twenty million dollars as
fund for national aid to road improve
ment in the United States, a good
many people were startled at the size
Of the figures. The amount, however.
seems very small compared with the
sum that single state now proposes
to raise and spend. The Now York
legislature has adopted constitution
al amendment proposing to raise and
spend five million dollars annually for
ten years, or fifty millions In all. This
amendment must pass the legislature
again in 1905. and then it will go be-
fore the people for ratification or re-
lection. It can reasonably be expected
that the measure will meet with pop
ular favor. The people Of New York
have given the principle Of state aid a
thorough trial and the results have
been highly satisfactory.
One Of the objections most loudly
urged against both state and national
aid Is that 1t will encourage local COM
munities to neglect the improvement
Of their roads and depend on the state
and the Federal governments 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 result appeared. On the
contrary aid from the state treasury
only stimulates local self help. It
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 predicted, the local communities are
raising great deal more money under
the stimulus Of state aid than they did
before.
A very important advantage that
comes from st-te aid is intelligent SUI
pervision in laying out roads and Sc
lecting materials, and in methods Of
construction This may mean all the
difference between success and failure.
Every year millions Of the peoples
hard-earned dollars are wasted, vir..
tually thrown away, in fruitless az
tempts to patch up bad roads to fill
mud holes, and to 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 1t ought to be done.
What Is said of the advantages Of
state aid applies all the more forcibly
to national aid. Its effect will be far
reaching. 1t will quicken the pulse Of
the whole nation. It will arouse uni
versal activity. Good Roads" will
"a nann1o'a wafnhW0rd
throughout the length and breadth ct
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, instead
Of almost the worst as at present.
It looks now as If national aid Is
hound to come in the near future
Already the state legislatures Of Ala
hama, Tennessee, Wisconsin, New
Mexico Missouri and Minnesota have
put themselves on record In Its favor.

ously the wisdom of the act, she be-
came part of the distant color scheme.
The blue figure faded and blended into
the general tone and could no longer
be distinguished. She was gone, but
she had tossed him kiss from lips
that he should always see.
Uppermost In his bewildered mind
was the question, Why is she not In
the passenger list? Acting on sud-
den impulse, he again sought out the
clerk In charge and made q most thor
ough inspection. There was no Gug-
genslocker among the names. As last
resort he asked:
"They could not have sailed under
an assumed name, could they%
81 can't say as to. that. Where are
they going?"
"Graustark."
But the young man shook his head
slowly, Lorry's shaking In unconscious
accord.
"Are you sure that you saw the
young lady on boardT
"Well. ratherw exclaimed Lorry EN-.
phs stically.
81 was going to say there are lot
OF italian and German singers on the
ship. and you might have been mistak-
en-. But since you are so positive 1t
seems very strange that your friends
are not on the list"
So Lorry went away discouraged and
with q vague fear that she might have
been a prima donna whose real name
was Guggepslocker. but whose stage
name was something more euphonious.
He instantly put away the thought
and the fear. She was certainly not an
opera singer-impossible! He drove
back to his hotel and made prepara-
tions for his return to Washington.
Glaucing casually over the register, he
came to the name that had been haunt.
ing him-Guggenslocker! There were
the names. "Caspar Guggenslocker and
four. Graustark." Without hesitation
he began to question the clerk.
"They sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm
today" said that worthy. "Chats all
I know about them. They came yes
terday and left today"
Mr.. Grenfall Lorry returned to Wash
ington as in a dream-a fairy dream.
The air of mystery that had grown
from the first was now an impenetra-
BILE wall, the top Of which his curios-
ity could not scale. Even his fancy,
his Imagination, served him not. There
was but one point on which he was
satisfied-he was in love. His own con-
dition was LII Baystery.
Through the long hot summer he
worked and worried and wondered.
He must know all about her! But
how?
The early months Of autumn found
him pale and tired and Indifferent alike
to work and play. He found no pleas
ure in the society that had known him
as lion. The doctor told him he was
approaching nervous prostration. His
mothers anxious eyes could no longer
be denied, 80 he realized grimly that
there was but one course left open to
him. He suggested it to the doctor, to
his mother and to his uncle, and they
agreed with him. 1t involved Europe
Having fully decided again to cross
the seu, his spirits revived. He became
more cheerful, took an interest in things
that were going on, and by the time the
Kaiser Wilhelm sailed In September
was the picture of health and life.

globe trotter, stumbles into acquaint-

the rtain from Denver to washington.
The pair are left behind when the hier

and the unknown girl ride four miles
at a tearing pace in a mountain coach.
There Is no lovemaking, but a near
approach to it as the rolling stage
tumbles the passengers about. Lorry

JUST TALKING 1T OVER.
Pittsburg Meeting Next Month vii
Decide Matters.

Decide Matters.
Kansas City, June 26.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
Of America, conferred with the Missouri
and Kansas opera tors here again today.
No action will be taken, it is said, Mr..
Mitchell and the operators simply talk
ing over the demands to be made by the
miners at their Pittsburg, Kan, meeting
next month. Nh Mitchell will leave for
the southwest tonight to interest union
men in the coming meeting and to look
over the field
Representa- tives Of the Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
unions also met tgain today, to COM
plete separate organizations for the
states and territories named. so far as is
possible, TO act conformity in the matter
Of wages at the Pittsburg meeting.
One Of the operators said today in an
interview regarding the Pittsburg meet
Ing:
We expect rather stiff demands from
the union miners but they probably will
get the wages they ask unless they are
unreasonable. If wages go up, up viii
go the price Of coal TO the consumers"
President Mitchell said that he believed
the big four, consisting of the Central
Coal and Coke company. the Missouri Pa
cifc, the Rock Island and Katy coal
interests. which combined employ many
thousands of miners, would be represent
ed al Pittsburg.
The statement today seemed to be that
the proposed new scale as well as con-
tracts relative to other conditions would
be settled amicably.

COUNTIES MAY GO IN DEBT

Topeka, Kan, June 26.-The extra ses-
sion of the Kansas legislature ended this
afternoon at o'clock Over fifty bills
were passed. only two of which were Of
a general nature. Most of them gave
Kansas counties the right to restore
bridges that had been washed away by
the food. County commissioners are au-
thorized to aid food sufferers from the
county fund to any extent that seems
best 10 them. To the lest, an effort was
made to pass bill appropriating money
for the relief of the sufferers, but it was
defeated This action of the legislature
has caused great amount of criticism.
Governor Bailey in a statepent today
explained his attitude toward a relief
appropriation, in the course of which he
said: L feel that the criticism of my
attitude in this matter is unjust. There
is very little, if any, restitution in the
flood district whatever destitution there
is has been or will be relieved by the
local authorities, the local charities and
the assistance which comes freely from
the outside The need is great Through
the Kaw valley, but the cases Of desttu-
ton are few The legislature has enact
ed nearly fifty laws to enable cities and
towns to take care Of the situation, and
they are going TO do it.
