P-@ ed from time to time show
~ ing the cost Of bad roads
LAA to the country, and how
81 IA good roads would annually
save millions Of dollars
to both producers and consumers IN
the United States. But the value or
good roads does not rest upon a money
standard alone. There are other and
equally as important considerations.
For several decades the census figures
show that the cities have been In
creasing much faster in population
than the country. Much Of the best

ing to the cities because Of the isola-
ton of farm life. Man is q social
creature, and if he can't get associa-
ton in one place he will seek 1t IN an
other. The wealth of the nation: de:
ponds largely upon the farmers. They
are the wealth-creators, and If we
would increase our farm products n
improve the land we must keep our
young men at home instead of sending
them to the cities. The way to de-
stroy the isolation of farm life now so
discouraging to young men is to build
good roads. Many young people in the
country are deprived of fair education
because of bad roads leading to the
schoolhouses, and because bad roads
render impossible. the consolidation
and lettering of the schools that are
accessible. Good roads would get more

lessen the average of illiteracy in most
of the States of the Union. Bad roads
keep thousands from attending church
and Sabbath-school, and thus are a
bar against civilization and the spread
of the Christian religion. Good roads
are needed to make life desirable upon
the farm, to increase the average Of
intelligence by putting people in close
touch with the world and each other,
and for the advancement Of education
and for Christianity.
How are we to have good roads?
With the burden Of road construction
and maintenance thrown almost Who'll
ly upon the farming classes, u high
ways, as a rule, are no better than
they were fifty years ago. Thus has
time and experience proven that local
systems are inadequate, are failures.
We can have good roads only when the
expense Of building and maintaining
them is somewhat equally distributed.
All the people contribute to the Ma
tional Treasury, because the money
in the Treasury is largely derived from
taxes on consumption. National aid
to good roads, as provided in the
Brownlow-Latime bill, promises the
only solution of the question, and the
solution of the question is a ..ational
obligation. Every country on earth
that has good roads secured them by
recognizing road building as a legiti-
mate function of government, and 1t
is safe to say we shall never have
them in the United States without the
Federal Government leads in the
movement. IT,. 49,,

Autos Hard on Roads.

HN'oo
When automobiles were only begin
ming to come into general use their
friends were fond of declaring that
among the advantages Of the new We
hicles over their predecessors was the
fact that instead Of hurting road sur
faces by passing over them, they would
have the contrary effect of improving
them. And nobody doubted this par
ticular claim, for it seemed obvious
that broad, soft tires would not only
not work the injury of narrow steel
ones, but would tend in q marked de-
gree to make smooth and easy the way
for all of US. Experience has hardly
borne out the prophecy. 1t was for
gotten that the automobile propels it
self by pushing backward with the
lower surface of its rear tires against
the surface Of the road, and that the
force thus exerted, in the case OF the
larger machines and when moving at
high speed, is far from small i'll
amount. The effect Of its application
is seen, first, in the production of dust
in clouds hitherto unknown in ordinary
highway traffic, and, second, in the
rapid wearing away Of al except The
very best roads wherever the number
Of automobiles is at all large. The
truth is that the automobiles have not
solved our old road problem; they have
only promised to makes its solution un-
necessary-at the cost of a wholly new
road problem; and our success in Solv-
ing the other was not so prompt or so
nearly complete that we can very con-
fdently expect SOC to cope with the
present dificulties.-New York Times.

Stole Mail Bags,

The Belgian Government discovered,
some time ago, that the leather bags
used for the mails in the Congo Free
State were often stolen. Investigations
proved that natives in the postal SER
vice took them. cut out the bottoms,
and gave them to their wives to be
worn as clothing.

CANADA's METAL YIELD LESS.
Decrease Due to Falling Off in Output
of Gold.

Ottawa, Ont, April 4.-The metal
production of Canada for the year
1904, as shown in official reports
just made public, was considerably
less than the output of the preceding
year. This is attributed to a falling
off in the gold product Of the Yukon,
as other mineral industries held their
own in the main. Yukon's record for
1904 was but s10,S37,oO0 The total
mineral production of the Dominion
was s60,043,165. Outside the Yukon
the production of gold in Canada last
year amounted to $6,063,0O0. In On
tario, although a considerable amount
of prospecting and developing work
has been done, most of the mines that
were formerly important producers
were not operated during the year.
in British Columbia an increased
output from placer mines is shown
by the reports.
