hdulluB thTm pfouucbs 10 mdIket'
When the American farmer is
standing all the time face to face
with the fact that under present
conditions he must sell his pro-
ducts each recurring year when
prices are at the very lowest in or
der to be able to deliver while the
roads are at their very best, he is
not in the least concerned about
the Appian way.
What he is studying about and
worrying over is the bare right-of-
way he is forced to use when going
to town, to religious worship, or to
the homes of his neighbors as oc-
casion or necessity may require,
and which his children must use to
reach the district school.
The farmers contribute more to
the permanent national prosperity
than all other classes combined,
and yet are the recipients Of less
consideration in national favor.
The 100000 farmers in the Unit
ed.States are the feeders of all the
other millions of our people, and
are the sustainers of our wonder
full commercial life.
If these millions of farmers can
market their products only when
the highways are at their best, it
is a sure proposition that for sew
eral months of the year the other
millions must pay higher prices
for everything they eat, because
underthela law of supply anddemand
prices must go up when the market
is bare.
In other words: In the fall of
the year, when the roads are passa-
BILE, farm products are rushed to
market in excess of the demand,
and prices go down at the farmers
expense. In the winter and spring,
when roads are bad, farm products
are shut out of market, and prices
go up because of demand in excess
of the supply and this time the
consumer "pays the freight"
Here we have the producer and
consumer-and that means the
body of American people-both
hit hard and all on account of mis-
cradle wagon roads. just as cer-
tainly as that substantial truth finds
fixed mooring in the minds of
thoughtful men, so certainly is the
sentiment growing in favor of ma
tional aid to good roads. The de-
mand for it is confined to no class,
and he is short-sighted student
who can not see that tits a question
which has come to stay.
1t is living question, and one
so inseparably connected with the
American home that aspiring
statesmen will do we'll to reckon
with it. 1t means everything to
the government and the people.

GOOD ROADS POLICY.
It Means Everything to the Government
and People of the URited States.

If Mr.. Lincoln was right in the
axiom that this is a government of
the people by the people for the
people, the day can not be distant
when we shall see the Nation CO.
operating with the States in the
systematic construction of wagon
roads in every direction, and by
such generous policy aiding in. the
establishment of conditions that
will rebound to the enduring glory
of American citizenship.
If this is a government Of the
people by the people for the peo-
pie, it must be that we soon shall
witness the Inauguration of that
liberal national policy with respect
to road building which will make
one section of our country as de-
sirable to live in as any other Sec
tion, and all parts of the country
the abiding place Of happy, pros
porous population. This issurely
what we are coming to if the pos
sibilities of our great country are
to be substantially realized.
It is lamentable fact, but one
we have to admit, that road build
ing in the United States has been
almost criminally neglected, and
that we are far in the rear Of other
civilized nations in this respect.
All who take the time for serious
thought on the subject will admit
that the general improvement of the
highways throughout the country
would do more to promote the well
fare and happiness of all the peo-
pie than any other work which
could be undertaken.
Itfollows, then, that-this being
a government for as we'll as of and
by the people-the Inauguration
of policy of good-roads construc-
tion is a national obligation that
can not be long postponed. In the
course of our commercial and in
dustrial development we have
reached a point where the great
problem Of improving the common
roads must be faced. AS was stat
ed in the Senate hearings on the
subject, we can no longer push it
away as a local question, because
the good-roads problem, as we
know by the experience of seven
ty-fve years, is too vast to be solv-
ed locally.
It is nowhere proposed that the
government shall alone undertake
the work of building roads, but un-
der both the Brownlow and Lati-
mer bills, by wise limitations, it
will bear one-half the expense and
otherwise cooperate with States
andcountiesinthe work. And here
in is the solution of the problem
"a great national movement, the
government of the people leading
the way.
InEurope, especially in the west
ern half, which is covered by a
network of the finest roads in the
world, the maintenance of theroads
is recognized important function
of government. That is not asked
or expected here, but unless we
greatly mistake the sign of the
times and the current of popular
thought on the subject, the Ameri-
can people are setting themselves
toward national road policy that
will give to them fair share in the
distribution of that whichprimari-
| ly belongs to them.
The American farmer cares moth
ing for the roads that lead to Rome.
He is deeply concerned about the
absence of decent roads that lead
to market, to church and to school.
He knows IL to he as trna now as

1t is characteristic of mankind,
when misfortune of any sort over
takes one, to want to faSten the
blame of it on some one other
than ones self. There are peo-
pie, in fact, who do not seem to
realize that this attitude is Who'll
ly childish, undignified and often
equivalent to confession of ut
ter incapacity on their own part.
1t is so, neverthe less, asserts the
Epitomist. Indeed, not to be
able to direct ones own business
successfully, or to steer clear of
the difficulties besettihg every
mans path, indicates that a per-
son lacks intelligence, irmness
and tact. Rather that bewailing
his fate. however, and above all
ascribing the cause of their hard
luck to folks in nowise practical

stir themselves to effect the nee

the said chemists, obtained
sample of Coca-Cola from Ross
Co., of Lebanon, Pa, and report
ed as a result Of careful analysis:
No cocaine detected"
This analysis was made wholly
in the interest of the people of
Pennsylvania, with the sole view
of protecting the people of that
State from the sale and use of
and soda fountain drink which
might contain Cocaine. 1t is a
a complete and perfect answer to
the charge that Coca-Cola con-
tains Cocaine and should forever
SILENCE those who have made
such a charge.
Finally, to answer every ques-
tion which might be inspired by
ignorance, prejudice, or malice,
we might ask,
Is Coca-Cola Intoxicating? 1t
positively is not.
Does Coca-Cola contain alcohol?
1t certainly does not.
Does Coca-Cola contain CO.
caine? 1t certainly does not.
In view of. the above facts,
supported incontestibly by an ex-
pert analysis and testimony, the
makers of Coca-Cola cordially
recommend it to the public who
wish a delightful, invigorating,
refreshing beverage, and who
wish to see that beverage sup
plant the harmful, intoxicating,
inebriating liquors that contrib
ute so much to the worlds mis-
cry. It is in view of the above
that such reputable papers as the
Saturday Evening Post" the
Christian Herald" and The
RAMS Horn" and many others
which are notably strict in re-
spect to their advertising COL
umns, have given large publicity
to COca-Cola, believing that in so
doing they are not only benefit
ing themselves in a business way,
but are benefiting the public de-
cidedly by helping to introduce a
beverage in place Of wine, beer
and whiskey, which is scarcely
less stimulating, but is far more
beneficial. From RAMS Horn by
