"On the creation of the federal depart
ment of Commerce and Labor man of
large affairs was needed at the head of the
bureau of manufactures of that depart
ment. The senators from Pennsylvania
recognizing the ability the integrity and
the energy of the man of whom are
speaking recommended him to the Presi-
dent and he was quickly appointed. In the
short space of four months he has made
himself familiar with the duties of the
place and organized 1t on basis on which,
if persevered in. great results can unques-
tionably be achieved for American manu-
facturcrs, and which will help in no uncer-
tain way the workinSmen and workingwO-

and while We regret to part with him, we
rejoice that his abilities have been recognize

him. And when he goes from US TO his fu-
ture field of usefulness he has the fullest
assurance that our hearts so with him; the
intellectual the incorruptible the energetic
the genial, the earnest friend! Gentlemen
| have the honor and take great pleasure in
presenting to you Mr.. J. Hampton Moore. >
MI Moore Responds.
Mr.. Moores response was intensely pa
trfotic and filed with the spirit of that
republica nism which has been his watch
word for the comparatively few years he
has spent In the maelstrom of politics He
told his hearers that to be a Per nsylvanian
was next best thing to being American
and that to tie a Philadelphia WAS by far
the best gift that the gods of fortune could
bestow upon a man. JudCing from the ap
plause, there were many o. his hearers who
agreed with him. He failed to mention
Mayor Weaver, but gave the gas grab
a swipe. and told the boys that they had
but to think of Americanism and fidelity to
their natural instincts of faith in their
American institutions in order to make
their state the greatest in the future as it
1t had always been the greatest in the past
of the history of the country.
Mr.. Moore paid Mr.. Andrews a tribute
and told the gatherers that In the presi-
dent of their club they looked upon the
next governor of Pennsylvania. His friends
heard that the President of the United
States had averred that Pennsylvania
should have certain things in the gift of
the administration and that 1t behooved
them to do their work in such measure
that they might be worthy of this regard
and the subsequent reward. The shouts
sounded like a resolution to do as Mr.
Moore had hidden.
For Washingtonans he advocated the
principle that has been for many years nut
before the people of the Dstrict-to leave

bad md Good Roads COntrnsted.
Bad roads prevent n successful season
for the merchant, who has to leave his
goods upon his shelves to become shelf
worn and out Of date, making 1t i'm
possible for him to meet his payments
promptly to the factory or wholesaler,
thus leading to Improbable and un.
satisfactory results. On the other hand,
good permanent highways insure an
mir of prosperity, equalize trade and
the exchange Of products and prevent
congestion In traffic conditions In the
market. They improve the system Of
public schools, add value to lands, en-
courage social intercourse among the
people, bring comforts to the home and
opportunities for the children, obliter-
ate the imaginary line between urban
and rural districts, establish more
firmly the principles of free govern
ment, foster n higher and more wide
spread intelligence and secure withal
happy and contented people.

TENNEssEE's ROAD TAX.
How 1t Affects the Cost of Building
Public Highways.

Public Highways.
Colonel J. b. Killebrew gives some
figures In the Nashville American on
the cost of public highways that are
full of interest He shows that the
road tax for the several counties of the
state ranges from 3 to 10 cents per
800 of assessed value, or, to specify
accurately, two counties have five
cent rate, four counties an eight cent
rate, slxty-two counties ten cent rate,
nineteen counties twelve cent rate,
two counties fourteen cent rate, two
counties fifteen cent rate and five
counties a sixteen cent rate. The grand
total of tax for these ninety-six coun-
ties is 1864, 1922.
The number of men subject to road
tax is 1911, who are employed from
I'VE to eight days each year. The total
amount expended for labor on high
ways Is 1881 ,04982-labor being com
muted at rs cents per diem. The total
amount expended in money and labor
is 81, 205, S13.14.
From these figures Colonel Killebrew
estimates that sufficient money Is ex-
pended each year to pay the interest at
per cent on bonds to raise enough
money to build from four to six mae
adam roads for each county seat to the
outer boundaries Of the county and
have enough left to create sinking
fund to retire the bonds in thirty years.
He recommends general state law
to permit counties to issue bonds for
highway building without special leg
islative enactment.
