National Aid to Good Roads Growing Popular.

Another Congressional bill in which our coun-
try people are much interested is the Brownlow
Good Roads Bill, which has been frequently dis
cussed and explained in The Progressive Farmer.
Last Monday our Washington correspondent sent
us the following information about this meas
ure:
"There is no question but that the good roads
propaganda is making itself felt in Congress-. and
if the agitation is continued by the farm and 9th
er newspapers, an entering wedge in road legisla-
ton, it is believed, can be secured comparatively
soon. Last Congress the Brownlow bill was in
trOduced and received widespread and frequent
notice by the papers; the result is that half a
dozen road bills have been introduced in this
session. Like all such new legislation involving
large appropriations Congress will put it off as
long as possible; until the demand becomes insist
ent and widespread. The objection raised by some
that the plan would be paternalistic would apply
with fully as much force to the operations of the
Postofice Department with it's annual appropria-

Parties, Candidates and Platforms.

The dates of the two great National Conven-
tions have now been fixed. The Republicans will
nominate their Presidential candidate in Chi
cago, June 21st., while the Democratic National
Convention is to be held in St. Louis, July 9Th.
At this meeting it seems certain that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be re-nominated by his party. There
have been rumors of opposition now and then, it
is true, but the New York Outlook makes a very
plausible explanation of these reports. Mr..
Roosevelt came to his high place by accident, not
by nomination, consequently he had made no
pledges to the great politicians and the great
combinations of wealth, such as candidates for
the Presidential nomination often find it to their
interest to make. Consequently the Rough Rider
President has not treated these machine leaders
and these trust magnates with quite as much ten
derness as they like. And the prospect of four
more years of such partial Indifference is not at
all pleasing to them. Hence they are trying to
make it appear that Hanna or some one else is
likely to get the Notwithstanding thus to
brighten Roosevelt into making terms with them
for his own safety. But the Presidents seeming
freedom from Wall Street influences has made
him as popular in the North as his foolish negro
policy has made him unpopular in the South, and
there is no probability that he can be defeated in
the Chicago convention.
Just in this connection it is to be observed that
certain Democratic leaders whe care more for
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-01-19

victory than for principle, seeing that monopoly
distrusts Roosevelt, are beginning to cry: "Here
at last is our opportunity. Let us now make
friends with the Mammon of Unr1ghteousness and
ourselves ride into office by the aid of the trusts"
This is a tendency the voters of the country must
put themselves on guard against, but it is not like
ly that the party which endorsed Bryan and free
silver four years ago can be forced this year into
making a platform acceptable to Wall Street in
fuences.
One other thing worth noting is the South will
quite probably be represented on the Democratic
ticket this time, the lame of Governor Aycock, of
this State, being one of those frequently men
toned in this connection. Certainly the South
ought to have at least the second place on the
ticket, and if the North is unwilling to support
a broad, patriotic Southern man for Vice-Presi-
dent, let it cast no more stones at us for alleged
narrowness, provincialism or sectional hatred.
We recall that when Mr.. Locke Craig Of Ashe-
vile made his address before the joint legislative
caucus in Raleigh on the night that brought an
end to the long Senatorial contest last winter, he
expressed his regret that he had been defeated for
"the highest office to which a Southern man can
aspire" But some now living will see the day
when one of the great parties will nominate a
Southern man for the highest elective Office on
earth, and men now old will see a Southern man
named for the ce-Presidency.

Increase Salary of Rural Mail Carriers.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
recommends in his annual report to Congress that
the salary of rural free delivery mail carriers be
increased to $3.50 per annum for 25-mile routes,
and a bill embodying this suggestion is now before
Congress-. 1t ought to pass without opposition.
Practically every carrier has to keep two or more
horses, for one horse cannot stand the constant
strain of travelling twenty-five miles a day. And
$50 a month for the service of a competent man
and two horses is entirely inadequate-so made
quate that there are constant and demoralizing
changes in the service. OF the five routes running
out from Raleigh, for example, we are told that on
only one has there been no change in carriers. The
salary is so small that efficient men are retained
only at a sacrifice or because they hope Congress
for increased pay.
City mail carriers get $3.50 a year, we believe,
while they do not have to keep horses or work on
holidays, and get extra pay whenever they have
to work more than eight hours a day. The ex-
pense that the rural carrier must incur in keeping
of living in towns, so it is only fair that the
rural carrier should have as much pay and as
many privileges as his town brother. The Pro
gressive Farmer was the first paper in the State
and for quite a while the only paDer in the
State-to wage an aggressive campaign for the
anxious to see it properly extended and main
tanned. We hope that all our Southern Congress
men will work to this end.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE IT.

Last week was not an eventful one. Fortunate
ly the RussO-Japanese war cloud grew less
ominous, and it is now hoped that hostilities may
be averted. Congress spent the week discussing
the Panama situation, the postal frauds, etc. In
Georgia there was a remarkable week of mourning
for General John B. Gordon, one of the last of
the noted Confederate leaders. The fact that
General Gordon followed in just a week after
General Longstreet's death brings strikingly to
mind the rapidity with which the leaders in the
titanic struggle of the COS are passing away. In
