to interpret American life. Professor Her
rick has the courage to deal with the material

His novel is powerful and wholesome because
it pictures life in Chicago AS it really is and

a brilliant study of the moral breakdown of

New York, April 10 During the
process of placing the new battleship
Connecticut in drydock at the navy
yard here yesterday what might have
proved serious accident was avoided
by the officer in charge sending down
a div:, 20 make a thorough examina-
ton of the hull before the water should
be pumped out, and the vessel lowered
into the keel blocks.
The diver discovered a heavy timber
struck fast to the hull on the port side
Of the keel, where it had adhered to
the rough plating while the vessel was
on tine ways, and had not been released
in launching. A failure to discover the
timber, it is said, would have resulted
IN the buckling or crimping of the keel
and lower frames when the vessel set.

Several days previous TO the launch
ing If the Connecticut last fall, divers
were sent down to examine the ways
and found large spike placed where
il would have pierced the hull, had it
not been found. Later AN official in
vestigation disclosed holes bored in one
of the plates.

has sent through the country eKpedi-
tions, equipped with machinery and
manned by expert road builders, who
have in many states demonstrated the
ease and certainty with which valua-
BILE improvements in this line may be
made. Innumerable official publications
on the subject have also been widely
distributed, and have stimulated dis
cussion in the public press. All these
things combine to bring about good re.
suits, and if the movement should 60
no further its benefits would be wide

But if a well-eonsidered federal en-.

encouragement from the national treas

would be carrying out one of the earli-

and would, in the opinion of the sen.

SHOULD GOVERNMENT
BUILD NATIONAL ROAD

One of the burning questions Of the
day, which has behind II strong inAu-
ences and apparently an increasing
popular sentiment, is that of govern.
ment aid in making good roads
throughout the country.
This proposition is supported by
many financial interests, also by man
ufacturers Of bicycles and automobiles,
in addition to the manifest interest
which the farmers and the business
men of towns and villages necessarily
feel ON the subject. Automobile and
bicycle manufacturers favor the meas.
urc because good roads contribute 20
the extension Of their trade, and are
therefore profitable. Their support
comes as simple business proposition,
aud joins with other influences to ad-
vance the cause.
The propriety OF the federal govern
mcut entering into this scheme is wide.
" questioned, but there are cogent ar
gumcuts in its favor. II merchant
cannot send his goods upon the water
ways of the nation, ON account Of shall
lows or sand-bars, the government re-
moves the distractions without ex'
pensc 20 the merchant II farm pro
ducts cannot be brought readily from
the farm 20 town, ON account Of i'm
pasablc roads, why, It is asked, should
not tho government extend helping
hands Local methods long tried are
found to he inadequate. The almost
universal habit Of allowing the farmers
TO work out their road tax, instead OF
paying il in money results probably in
a loss OF at least so per cent of the
nominal amount OF such tax.
The plan proposed by bills now
pending In congress is cooperation he.

governments. Provision is mado for an
appropriation Of $4,000, goo, 90 be dts,
