said: -.
l do not wish to press the text with
literal exaetness, but it makes a clear
distinction. God is not to be looked
for in the physical conditions of ma
ture so much as in the spiritual re-
suits which follow. .......
First, we must note that God was
not the author or cause of this awful
calamity. / do not forget that all ma.
ture's laws are the creAsures OF God;
that He is. she origin and source Of
the life Of this globe. But God is not
the author of evil, although he per-
mits evil; God is not tho cause Of suf.
fering, although He calls us to suffer.
In all times Of tragedy we hear the
cry, "Why does God send thia calam.
ity?' The answer. ia. God does not
eend calamity, although he permits it
TO ocoar. Suffering and death are not
in Gods original plan, juetias Easter:

THE NATIONAL ROAD.

The National Good Roads Associa-
ton is a powerful force for good.
and its work is accomplishing re-
suits in all parts OF a, nited States.
IL is engaged In many ,hlngs thar
will benefit the people. One OF the
great schemes II has In mind and
which IL has set about To accomplish.
is the repair and rebuilding OF the
great national road across Maryland,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio.
an Idndiana.
That memorable road was intend
ed to be one of the highways be-
tween the East and West before
railroads were known. IL was built
at great expense. costing the Fed
eral government over seven million
dollars, and during the early days
was famous highway over which
thousands Travelled every week.
When railroads came into existence
the national road was neglected. and
today 1t is only skeleton of what il
once was.
Ii is proposed to rebuild it, and
the National Good Roads Associa-
ton has undertaken to have It done
by the government The length of
the road is about 700 miles, and il
can be- rebuilt for less than seven
million dollars. That is about the cost
OF one good battleship. and we are
building lots OF them. The appropri-
alton of that sum to make this old
road across five states would do as
much good as the average battelship
for not one such ship in ten will ever
get In "A fight. Then, when the old
road has been put in good shape to
the Mississippi river, it may be that
/ the price of about three other bat
tleships will be set aside to build
the road to the Pacific coast.
One first-class continuous highway
across the continent would be great
thing. Many traveller would spend
two or three months going and com
ing by team. bicycle, automobile. or
otherwise. 1t would be easy for the
nation to do thing like this.

TO cooperate with the state in an

COLONEL HARRIS As a KANsAN.

From Kansas City Star
Aside from all political cOnsidera-
tiOns, II is exceedingly interesting and
gratifying to note the general spirit Of
toward Colonel Harris throughout
Kansas Representative republicans
OF the state, business and professional
men, have expressed their admira ton
with the utmost freedom The only
diSparag gementS come from narrowly
partisan sources, or from the machine
organization now in control But the
strength Of Colonel Harris candidacy
is cOnspiCuOusly suggested by the
character Of these disparagements,
the chief of which has been the silly
charge that Harris is not a Kansan-
He is called the Chicago candidate, ~
the mail order candidate But that
doesn't take with the KanSanS. They
know Harris too well to be misled by
such a strained teChnicality.
The people of Kansas know that
Colonel Harris, although not ma
tive SON. is one Of the best and truest
of Kansans- He pioneered the first
railroad Of the state. He drove the
first stake of the Union Pacific. He
contributed largely to the progress OF
the commonwealth He has been a
patriotic citizen, a representative
farmer and a man Of public spirit His
official record was not only an honor
90 the state, but il was marked by dis
finctive service for Kansas and the
country. He left the senate poor Kan
sans have not overlooked this fact
When he retired from the senate he
had to go to work All senators have
not had to resume business or pro-
fessiOnal employment on leaving con-
zress- But Harris had to earn a liy-
ing. He took to stock raising. His
knowledge and enterprise in that di-
rection brought him into conspicuous
notice incidentally he was called to
Chicago. where he has spent much Of
his time the last few years But KAN
sas has never ceased TO claim him as
one Of its citizens. And Colonel Har-
TiS has had no desire to cancel his
citizenship. He is as much attached
to Kansas as Kansas is to him.
The people of Kansas have several
notable distinctions One OF them
and one Of the most creditable OF
them-is their frank likes and dis
likes. They are discriminating, as a
rule in their judgment Of public men,
But If they. make a mistake they are
not -bull-headed- They are just as
ready TO repUdiate a man who has
proved faithless to his trust as they
ere LOYAL to a man who has proven
MS loyalty to them And that IS why
Colonel Harris is strong with the rank
and file. That is why he is receiving
respectful consideration even at the
hands OF many prominent rep93IicaSIls ms
and republican newspapers. he has
been tried, and he has never been
found wanting
And it is no incOnsequential factor
n his present relation to the people
15f kansas that Colonel Harris has
S7een drafted into the candidacy he
occupies. He did not want the office.
He did not want to return to politics.
But he was recognized as the best
man his party could present He is
the best man in the state, 1rrespect-
i've of party, to meet the peculiar IS
sues of the hour Colonel Harris IS
s7ow in the attitude Of a reform leader
rather than that of a democrat.
