recruiting station for the navy in the
Durhee building in Colorado Springs
where applications will be considered
from young men between IT and 35
years of age who desire to enlist in
that branch OF the public service. En-

boiler-makers, copper-smiths, ma
chinists, firemen, coal passers, mess
attendants cooks, bakers, plumbers
and filters.
The naval service is vastly different
from what it was a generation ago and
is a calling in which no young man
need be ashamed to serve. While the
recruits for our national ships used to
be largely from vagabonds, wharf rats.
loafers and riff-raff 1t 10 not the case
by .any means at the present time.
Hundreds Of young men OF excellent
character and good family antecedents
annually enlist in the navy and the
service is being improved by their
presence.
The young men OF the service nova
days are mostly Americans Of good, in
telligent, moral standards, high ideals
and self-respect. They are in a legit-
mate, respectable business and they
take pride in the cleanliness Of it.
1t is possible for young man to rise
from the ranks to the position OF a
commissioned officer, and twelve are
appointed every year from the enlisted
men after an examination. Everybody
is encouraged to study and work, and
schools are established at all naval sta
tions, and aboard the large ships, to
give these young men a chance. Any
young man OF good character, who is
possessed with the requisite energy
and ability, may get one Of these
billets.

In Interest of Good Roads.

There is pending in congress a bill called the Brownlow Bill, introduced by Hon. Walter P. Brownlow, of Tennessee, which appropriates 24,000,000 as na- tional aid for the building of wagon roads. This sum is to be available at the rate of S8, ,O00,O ,OOO year; is to be divided according to the population of the different states, but no state is to receive less than S250,0OO. Every state receiving national aid must ap- propriate and spend like amount.
 The asserted growth of sen- timent in favor of the measure has been chiefly due to the insti- tuition and extension of the rural free mail delivery system which has brought the disadvantages of poor roads home to the farmers and other country dwellers. Ap- plications for the extension of the free rural delivery system are be- ing refused by the post office authorities on account of the roads, and the disappointed com- munities demand their improv- ment. These demands are so in excess of the ability of the local boards to respond that for year past highway commissions all over the country have been putt ting themselves on record in favor of national aid.
 It is claimed on behalf of the bill that the plan of distribution is more equitable than the distri- button of some S32, 100000 a year under the Rivers and Harbors Bill, which goessprincipally to the seaboard stateseand9c to the Mis- sissippi deitas. oG.
 In n5 support@ of the Brownlow Bill as a general measure, atten- tioE is called to the fact that France has 23, 1903 miles of wagon road, which are built and main- tained by the nation, and Italy about 5000 miles, while many of the states of the union spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in aid of highway im- provemept.
