army here the treaty of peace with Great
Britain was signed after the War of the Revo-
luton, and in this room six of the colonies
held the preliminary meeting which result
led in the calling of the constitutional con-
yention. For me personally the room will
always have interesting associations. 1t was
here that began my first service to the State
as Senator from Howard county. l sat in
that seat over there"-pointing to chair near
the window. at was called the lucky seat
It had been the seat of John Lee Carroll, who

Presidents seat, and now 1 am here as Gov
ernor." After the meeting the Governor and

In HIS sermon at the Church of the Advent
in Boston last Sunday night Rev. William II.
Van Allen denounced the wage system in this
country and in doing so paid his respects to
Mr.. Carnegie. He said Think of the thous-

the grind and the blazing heat of the mines
and the furnaces of Pennsylvania for Mr..
Carnegie to build libraries out of the result of
their toll and eat his bread in the sweat of
other mems faces. For my own part I'd
rather not read books that are paid for in that
way. And / am great lover of books"

BECAUSE wooDPEcKERs and yellow hammers
honeycombed many of the timbers in the
county bridge across Eagle Creek, four miles
southwest Of Hartford, Conn.,, the county COM
missioners have condemned the bridge as un-
safe. Strange to say this incident shows the
safety of the wooden bridge. Whenit becomes
weak from any cause it can be detected. Not
SO with an iron bridge In course of time the
iron becomes granulated. This cannot be seen
and the bridge goes down with smash unex-
pectedly. In consequences of this railways are
getting rid of iron and steel bridges as much as
possible-building of stone if they can. The
Brooklyn Bridge is becoming uncanny and
will have to be rebuilt so far as the cable spans
are concerned. A good wooden bridge is not
to be despised.

It is hard to understand how any studious
man can persuade himself that government
aid to good roads Is not national necessity,
affecting all sections Of the country and all
classes, and therefore demanded as good public
policy. Many Of the very foremost men Of the
country have declared in its favor, and the
feeling is constantly growing that it should
prevail. or course, here and there we find 1t
opposed by specious argument and strained
interpretations of the constitution, but this OPP
position cannot stand in the face of the prac-
tice of the government in road building many
years ago, and at this day in Porto Rico, where
we have constructed more highways in the
past five years than did the Spaniards in four
hundred years; and in the Philippines where
we are building highways every day in the
year. There is more serious consideration be-
ing given to the subject of good roads today
than any other that can be named and as q
question fraueht with vital concern to the in
ternal commerce Of the country and to its re-
ligious, educational and social advancement,
it is sure thing that the call for national aid
will have to be heard.
1t is not the farmer alone who is affected by
bad roads; trade conditions are disastrously
affected wherever bad roads exist. Good roads
are necessary to every vocation and every in
terest. The cost Of bad roads has been 80 often
presented that repetition wonld not strengthen
argument. The main fact is the clear fact that
bad roads are curse to the nation and q dis
grace to our boosted Americanism. There is
necessity for government aid to better roads
and it ought to be extended with the least pos
sible delay.
In every civilized country but ours govern
ment has fostered improved highways. Wher-
ever improved highways have been built the
people are happier and the country more pros
porous. In the United States there has been
marvellous progress notwithstanding bad roads.
We would have progressed thousand fold
more under an improved system of highways.
A change is needed here. The common roads
should be made adequate to the necessities of
the country. There is no special class in the
discussion. 1t is a great economic question.
rapping loudly for recognition, and as all the
people are involved the government should
step in and cooperate with the states in its
solution.
While prominent men are now active in
support Of the -Latimer bills for
national aid. the people in their primary ca
pacity have duty to themselves to perform in
the matter. Every citizen knows how to press
the question on his Congressman. The good
roads camp-fires ought to be lighted in every
constituency in the states. The proposition
strong in Congress. Letits friends get to work
and make it stronger by direct communication
with those we send to reflect the public will in
Washington. If the people who have made
the government what it is and upon whom it
must rely in every crisis cannot be heard in
the nationsl councils. then the Caesars of the
day have grown too great on public meat and
we soon shall have fallen upon still more evil
times.

Now THE Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and other organizations of earnest wo-
men are commanding the Secretary of Agri-
culture to put an immediate stop TO Professor
Galloways experiments in poppy culture and
the production of opium. This most people
will think is going too far. That there are too
many opium fends is most true, but they have
been made such not of their own will, but
largely through the carelessness of physicians.
Men do not go into the opium habit naturally
and as easily as to the drink habit. Aside
from this, opium is a necessary and valuable
drug, used for many purposes, and so if we
can raise instead of importing it. why not?
