los to good roads. Such re-
markable unanimity of sentiment in
the press is clear showing Of popular
feeling concerning the measure. We
all know, of course, that the $4,000, 900
sought to! be appropriated by the
Observation-Disclosures bills, to be expend-
ed at $s,000,000 a year, will not more
than start the work of road building.
The purpose is to stimulate road i'm
provement by furnishing object lessons
to the States. and to aid the States
where they are willing to aid them
selves. 1t is an accomplished fact: that
the building of railroads by GoveTn-
ment aid stimulated the building of
other railroads without Government
nid and so it would be in the matter Of
the wagon roads. The building of rail-
roads has made it possible for the pro-
ducts of labor Of every sort to be
hauled to the points Of consumption at
the least cost and greatest profit. The
railroads have also opened up new Sec
tons and made possible our marvellous
/ development, and thus the Government
has benefited thousand fold for all
the aid it extended. When we have
the same wise policy adopted as to the
highways the result will be still more
wonderful, and the country will go on
to the full fruition of American hopes.
And this is what is coming. The
statesman Of to-day must certainly
know tina: national aid to highway i'm
provement is fixed certainty of the
near future. Public sentiment in re-
public like ours does not sleep nor stand
still. The world is progressing; it is a
progressive age we are living in. The
men who hew the wood and carry the
| water to sustain national life will not
always bear burdens that are unrea-
sonable. There is nothing more mon.
strous in our social and economic sys-
tenn than the imposition of all the ex-
pense of road building and mainten-
ance On the farming classes when the
benefits to flow from good roads are to
60 into every household, workshop,
! mandatory, banking house and mer.
camille establishment in the United
States and our Territories. He will be
wise who notes these things and gets
on the car Of progress. National aid
to highway improvement is demand
of the people growing out of conditions
that are intolerable. No other civilized
country under The sun has failed in
building good roads. The people Of
this country pay a penalty for bad
roads that is grievous in the extreme:
The way to relief is through the enact
ment into law of the good roads bills
now before Congress. 1t is not necesi;
sary to tell Senators and Representa-
tives that the country needs this legis-
iation; they every one know it, no matt
ter what States or districts they rep
resent. But we may tell them that the
demand for it is growing every day,
and that the day is close by when the
proposition must be acceded to. It is
too stupendous in it's Importance to be
fippantly treated by the lawmakihg
body Of the land; it cannot be cried
down by jest or special pleading. Moth
ing less than it's enactment into law
will be justice to those who sustain the
Government.-Brooklyn IN. ~ Uptown

Atlanta. Ca. May 3I.--Theodore p.
Shonts, chairman OF the Panama ca

day of Atlanta friends and his pres
ence in Atlanta was made the occa-
sion for several entertainments ana
public functions, at which he met a
large number of business and profess
ional men and delivered two ad-
dresses. The first was at the dedi
cation of a new building at Agnes
Scott institute, a college for women
in Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta. The
second was delivered last evening be
fore the chamber of commerce, in
which he spoke of the relations OF
the south TO the Panama canal He
took strong grounds in advocacy Oh
the lock canal system, saying in the
course of his speech:
4 am not surprised that European
countries are Indifferent to the early
completion of this canal. ] am not
surprised that they are Indifferent as
to how much this canal may cost Oul
government. l am not SuTpIlSet-
that they can view calmly an indefi-
mite postponement of the opening OF
this great waterway. They are neith-
er paying the bills, nor will their
commerce and industries suffer by
waiting for the completion Of this I'M
dertaking. But | am surprised that
those who are sapposed to represent
the best interests of the American
people should try to throw obstacles
in the way of realizing the benefits
of this work at the earliest possible
date When we can get a better
canal for less money and receive the
benefits ourselves, why wait; why
make it heritage to our children,
with the possibility of their being de
prived of it's benefits through some
unforeseen contingency"
Later in the evening Mr. Shonts was
entertained at a banquet rendered by
so citizens and attended by Governor
Terrell and many others Of promi-
nence, politically and financially.
