THE GOVERNMENT BECOMING
INTERESTED.

The press dispatches announced some days
ago that Postmaster General Cortelyou had
become so far interested in the subject OF good
roads as to agree to co operate with officials in
Illinois in measures to be taken for their I'M
provement in that State. We are not advised
as to the authority the Postmaster General
may have in this direction perhaps he has
none, and only now intends his good offices
in the matter but it is encouraging to the
friends of national aid to road improvement
to know that so distinguished a member OF
the administration is even looking into the
subject. This is all that is needed-to get the
men of affairs to studying along the line OF the
Brownlow Latimer good roads bill.
The necessity for road improvement is every.
where apparent. How to get them improved
has been problem since the country's earliest
days. The states have handled the trouble in
almost as many different ways as there are
states and yet the roads are no better than
forty fifty or sixty years ago. In fact, many
of them have gone from bad to worse, until
present highway conditions, taking the coun-
try over, are simply intolerable, and the time
has comets here now-when something must
be done to relieve the situation.
The annual loss to American farmers because
of bad roads amounts to more than one-half
billion dollars. Does any sane man propose
to say that this dreadful drain is not national
menace that it will not directly destroy ma
tional prosperity and tear down the American
farm home-the bulwark of national integrity
and of national life?
1t is time for the people to go after the Ma
tion's Lawmakers. the Senators and RepreseD-
tatives in Congress, and press the demand for
relief from these unhappy conditions. We
shall have no systematic road improvement
until we have national cooperation with the
states and we shall not have this national aid
until the people demand it of Congressman
and those who aspire to be Congressman.
1t is mighty good plan to ask for thing
when one wants it, and we believe the people
have right to demand expression on this road
question before the Congressional elections are
held this year.
Get copy of the national aid bill by writing
to your Senator or Representative, or to Hon.
w. P. Brownlow, at Washington. d. G.

A MOVEMENT has been started in Salt Lake
City to have set aside "a national school day"
when the $4,000 900 school children in the
United States will be asked to contribute ST.
000 600 to erect fifteen school buildings in San
Francisco. The movement is to have the APP
prevail of the National Educational Associa-
ton and of the National Commissioner of Ed
ucation. 1t is thought that at least 10, 0OO, 900
of the children will gladly contribute.

DEPRIVATION MADE in certain schools and
dwellings show that girls have more endurance
in work than boys until the age of fourteen.
From fourteen the working power of girl
does not increase till the age of twenty, where
as that of boy continues to grow. The en-
ergy displayed by girls of twenty is about half
that of boys of the same age. Other observa-
tions tend to prove that intellectual and pbysi-
cal superiority in general go together.

BALTIMORE HAS done nobly for the relief of
the unfortunate people of the stricken city of
San Francisco. Eight car loads of provisions,
clothing, etc., have been forwarded to them and
nearly $500 in cash has been subscribed for
their relief. Money has simply poured in and
the great hearted people are deserving of all
praise for their prompt and generous action in
the cause of humanity. All the cities of the
country have also contributed lavishly and it
is safe to say that millions of dollars will go
to San Francisco to help the needy.
