senator Lntimer on Government Aid.
There are other considerations more
important than any financial advan-
tage which would follow the improve
ment of the roads. The unrest and dis
satisfaction Of our agriculture! classes
are attributed in q large measure to the
condition of our roads. They are cut
off from the centers OF progress. Life
on the farm is unattractve and means
mental and social isolation. The brain
and manhood of the rural communities
are seeking opportunities elsewhere
All the lines of trade and industry are
becoming congested, and the farms are
becoming depleted and left to the thrift
less and unambitious. The mere state
ment of the case is sufficient to arouse
our deepest apprehension. Upon that
class of our people depend, In the
last analysis, the happiness and pros
perity of the country. 1t is important
therefore that something should be
done to revive their interest. encour-
age their labors and brighten their
lives. They have asked for few fayors,
but have always been the bulwark Of
the government in peace and war

negotiations which must attend the
birth of that peace movement So

flying to every patriotic American.
At this crisis in the affairs of the
Muscovite Empire it is evident that
Great Britain and France are debarr-
from acting the role Of peace maker
because of their alliances with the
respective belligerents. Germany
because of the close friendship )f the
Kaiser for the Gar, would inquest
ionably prove persona non grata to

it possible for the Russian and Jap

Washington to frequent the White

gested by the representatives of

that the Presidents reputation for

New Problems of the Universe.

We all know that the nineteenth CEN
fury was marked by a separut' IN of
the sciences into a vast number Of spe-
ciaties, to the subdivisions Of which
one could see no end. But the gre
work Of the twentieth century will be
TO combine many Of these speclalties.
The physical philosopher Of the present
time Is directing his thought to the
demonstration Of the unity Of creation.
Astronomical and physical researches
are now being united In a way which Is
bringing the infinitely great and the in
iinitely small into one field Of knowl-
edge. Ten years ago the atoms of mat
ter Of which II takes millions of mill
lions to make a drop of water were the
minutes objects with which science
could imagine itself TO be concerned.
Now a body Of eXperimentalists prom
lnent among whom stand Profs j. j.
thompson Becquerel and Roentgen,
have demonstrated the existence OF OBJ
jects so minute that they find their way
among and between the atoms Of mat
ter as rain drops do among the build
ings Of q city, More wonderful yet. il
seems likely although Il has not been
demonstrated, that these little things
caled 'corpscles'' play nm important
part In what Is going ON among the
stars, Whether this be true or not. il
Is certain that there do exist in the uni
verse carnations OF some sort. produc-

Great Minds in little Bodies.

The question has often been asked
whether the size OF men had anything
to do with genius; and the answer has
often been made I'm the affirmative It
Is asserted that the greatest men who
ever lived have been under the aver
age height and It Is recalled that many
men Of wonderful intellectual capacity,
have been cripples, or In some way
physically deficient.
Gustavus Adolphus was the only one
OF the six great captains OF the world
who was a large man. Alexander was
small like Napoleon, Hannibal, Caesar,
and Frederick were under the medium
size. So also were Louis a. RIchelleu,
and Talyrand,
Pepn, who laid the corners stone OF
the French nation, although possessed
of extraordinary powers, was handy
legged and almost n dwarf,
Narses, perhaps the greatest general
and statesman OF the Byzantine em-
plre, was a physical weakllng and all
but a weakened plginy.
Count de Cages, one OF the most Illus
trlous Of the Spanish generals, was a
bunch back; likewise De la Galisslon-
