WE'D. JAN. %, 1905.

One of the most important
questions before the people of
the entire country is the building
of ideal public roads. A few
months ago this was agitated to
a considerable extend and in
many sections roads were made
to show their real worth, but the
fever subsidized and to-day we
seem to be as far removed from
ideal thoroughfares as it is posi-
BILE for indifference to accom-
plish. There is not a State in
the union whose roads measure
up to American ideals, and not
withstanding the fact that a large
per cent. Of our people live out
side of city limits and their in
terests and convenience are d.
rect1y affected, yet they plod
along without murmuring, while
the slick politician plays into the
hands of corporations and special
interests. The improvements of
our rivers and harbors have TAX
en- millions of dollars every year
and while much good has been
accomplished in this particular
line, yet the larger number of
navigable streams, kept up at
the expense of the Federal Gov
eminent, are controlled by cor
porations whose financial power
drive from the channels all in
depent lines that offer relief in
freight rates. If Congress would
quit the small and unimportant
streams and appropriate for pub
lie roads for a few years, requir-
ing supplemental sums from the
States, a wonderful change could
be made and country life made
inviting and profitable. The
country publications are familiar
with these conditions, they are
in position to do a most effec-
tive work, and if every country
paper would rally to this propo-
sition, supplemented by the city
press, it would ripen into a de-
mand that could not be ignored.
Fellows OF the press, what think
you ?
