THE COUNTRY HIGHWAYS.

Coincident with the effort to secure
through public control equal rights
and fair charges on railroads, another
long neglected phase of transportation
is coming notably to the front, namely,
improvement of the common high
ways The movement is general and
in the more progressive states is be-
coming practical.
1t is significant that two states as
widely separated by distance and gen
eral conditions as Missouri and Penn
sylvania should at the same time be
disposed toward extraordinary action.
Many reasons have been assigned for
special sessions of the legislatures, but
1t is unprecedented for a governor to
consider seriously, as Governor Folk
is doing, the calling of the legislature
solely To deal with the problem Of
good country roads and TO propose
constitutional amendments to secure
the power necessary to a broad and
thorough solution OF it, and for the
state press and public opinion to favor
such action. This is hardly more ex-
traordinary, however, than the project
endorsed by the governor of Pennsyl-
vania and enthusiastically supported
in the state. to build a great macad-
amized highway between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, a trunk line country
road, as it were. with branches
through more remote regions. These
propositions, perhaps the most notable
among many of similar character. do
show how popular interest is centsring
on the carriage of freight outside of
railroads.
1t is high time that attention should
be compelled TO the fact that a large
part OF the prodigious tonnage of the
railroads has TO be moved over country
roads. They are practically a half
century behind the requirements of
the time. Financial resources and en-

TECHNICAL TRAINING.

While complaint continues of over
elaboration of the American high
school curriculum in connection with
the comparatively small proportion of
the school population availing them
selves of it. the experience of the
manual training schools and institutes
of technology is to the exact contrary,
The number of young men crowding
these schools was never so great as the
statistics of attendance now being pub
lished show it to have been the last
year.
Until very recently the technical
graduate had to face the same preju-
dices in practical life that confront the
mere college graduate. but that has all
given way to the demonstrated EN-
cheney of his training. There is now
demand for him in every industry in
volving mechanical science and skill,
and rapid promotion follows practical
experience. Popular appreciation of
these facts lie back of the remarkable
movement in technical education.
At the same time it is beginning to
come fairly home to the average mind
that the field for the applied sciences
is illimitable and that the industrial
opportunities are multiplying with in
credible rapidity. While the west,
which the young man was admonished
to seek a generation ago, is in some
sense narrowing, the institutions for
chronological instruction are, by spe-
cial training and adaptation, opening
to youth a wider prospect which has
no limitation Of east or west, north or
south.

Tribute 20 Carl Schur1 by the Paper
He Once Edited.
New York Evening Post.


New York Evening Post.
In the natural course of events, and by
the general suffrage. Mr.. Schurz came TO
be known as the leading independent in
American politics II was a position which
carried stings with its honors. Yet the
very mixture OF taunts with welcomes
that he received from both political parties
alternately during the past twenty years.
was the most striking tribute possible to
the unselhshness Of his course and the
genuineness OF his influence. When his
simple uprightness could not endure the
Blaine faint the republicans called out
after him that he was only a moTose and
fantastic crank whom nobody regarded;
but when they were able to exhibit him
again on their side in the contest for hon
est money, they promptly discovered that
his emnence of character and soundness
of political judgment was beyond dispute.
Latterly, the old animosities had happily
become dulled, and Mr.. Schurz was ac-
cepted ungrudgingly as our best type OF
unbending integrity and clear honesty of
speech. This is what makes his loss SO
sore. Personal mourning. such as the
Evening Post must feel in the departure Of
one who was for time its editor, and
who always maintained his friendly inter-
est in it., yields to the sense of public
bereavement.
When Daniel Webster died. Motley wrote
to his father: "As for thinking of Amer
lea without Webster. It seems like thinking
of it without Niagara or the Mississippi"
Mr.. schurz could not so be described as
great elemental force or a towering ma
tional figure. His removal, however, will
long leave us with a sense OF something
| IA IL fa ha
sunshine were for a time dimmed; as IL
we could not see moral issues in so clear
a light; as II our dubious and dark political
problems could not so easily have flashes
OF truth and courage thrown upon them.
That buoyant and blithe spirit has left us;
that lifelong indignation against tyranny,
whether in Prussia or the Philippines, is
quenched; but the virtue that went out OF
Mr.. Schurz TO animate good causes and
spur on lesser men, will long remain a
| cherished memory and continuous power
