IN THE LAND OF GOOD ROADS.

Some tens of centuries ago, when
nation used to go out to war against
nation and signalize the victory by
| bringing what was left of the van
| pushed home as slaves, the need of
good roads was first apparent. For
one thing, 1t was deemed desirable to
| have returning triumphal procession,
and drag the conquered at the chariot
wheels OF the conquerors into the
city of triumph. 1t soon became ap-
parent that in order to make the
procession impressive, it was de-
sirable to make the roads broad and
good So the able-podied males
among. the slaves were put to work to
break stone and dig and lamp and
make a smooth, hard surface for
tchariot wheels. That was the begin
ming of good roads. 1-nere was little
engineering art about it at first. But
there were bright minds as we'll as
brute force, and the building of the
roads very soon began to take on a
science. That accounts for the fact
that some of the old slave-built roads
still serve as models to the highway
making world.
France, where the international
roads congress began it's meetings
last week, has roads which furnish an
example to the whole world because
of its legacy from the old days of the
triumphal chariot and all the rest.
But France, it is but fair to say, has
by modern ingenuity improved on her
foundation. In France road building
is an art, developed by the highest en-
cheering skill. There the period of
experiment has been passed. No hit
or-miss methods are now employed.
Though the days of slave labor are
long since passed, the day of making
roads by hard and constant work
still prevails. And to back the work
there is a liberal expenditure of
money.
Some useful things the nations
represented, from America to China,
can learn from France. 1t is often
said that a country must take on age
before it can have good roads. Some
plain examples may teach that not
age alone is essential. Hard work,
eternal viligance. plenty of money in
diligently applied, will excel the
irregular work of centuries. Ameri-
cans are quick to see the point. And
the road builders of this country
should not fail to retain the hints
which they may just now be getting at
Paris.

ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES.

During times of political excite
ment such as come to this nation once
in four years, 1t becomes necessary for
the voter to decide in favor of those
policies which make for the better
ment of his own condition and for the
good of the whole. people" says the
Kansas Farmer. "In doing this he
must decide between the parties
whose candidates are asking for his
vote. The stress of the campaign
does not conduce to deep thought or
calm consideration of the questions
at issue, and the voter may be led
into the momentary support of the
party and the politics which are really
antagonistic to his own best in
terests and the general welfare of the
country. Should this happen, the
voter has four years of regret and
repentance of his fault in not giving
sufficient and serious thought to the
matters in hand.
There are. however, certain ques-
tions of Importance to the individual
as we'll as TO the community, which do
not depend for their proper solution
upon party success. They are of
equal interests to all parties and their
demands for attention and solution
are insistent, but because of partisan
strife they are likely to be overlooked.
"Such a question is before the peo-
pie of Kansas today. and the wise
voter is he who will give it a calm
consideration which he should give to
all political questions and who will
demand its solution. We refer to the
creation and maintenance of a per-
manent state fair.
at seems ridiculous that Kansas,
the most progressive agricultural state
in the Union. should fail to provide
the opportunity to show to the world
the results of her labor and methods
on her wonderful soil and in her mar
velous climate. In any great EXPOSE
ton where Kansas products are
shown the state always gives a good
account of herself, and brings home
trophies of which she Is proud. This,
however, is always accomplished by
individuals who have not the privilege
of tryout at home.
