mats personally representing
the souvereigns of Germany,
Great Britain, Italy and Den
mark will formally proffer auto
graphed portraits of their rulers
to the new Seaman's Institute
in New York City. Leading
German, Italian, English and
Danish citizens of this country,
together with various religions
denominations and civic, phil
anthropic and shipping organic
atoms will attend this inter-
national assembly. On Christ
mas day these portraits of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Kaiser Wilhelm
II, King Edward, Victor En- an
uel III and Frederick VIII, will
be hung in the main hall of the
modern hotel and club, where
hundreds of sailors of every
n~stionality have begun to take
up their shore home.

tit to be president of the United
States" President Roosevelt
recently told a representative of
the American Seamen's Friend
Society, of which he is a vice
president. Similar expressions
OF approval of the society's
work during the last eighty
years for the seamen of every
country on the globe, have been
made by the rulers of foreign
nations in personally signing
and sending their portraits to
decorate the walls of the new
headquarters for the 100000
sailors who put in shore leave
each year in this port. 1t will
be recalled at these presenta-
tion exercises that Theodore
Roosevelt, as a boy of twelve,
began work for the benefit of
sailors when he presented for
the American Seamen's Friend
society one of its circulating
ships libraries to the outbound
crew of the clipper ship "Rival'
on October II, 1866.
Consuls of the various nations

national exercises, r making
arrangements for the event.
President Roosevelt will desig-
nate a special representative
through whom his personally
autographed portrait will be of
fered to the Seamen's Institute,
while members of the foreign
diplomatic corps here will fol-
low with suitable speeches of
presentation. That four of the
leading monar chs OF Europe
have affixed their %signatur e with
their own hands to these me
MORALS for their Seafaring sub
jects, is regarded as a mark of
high consideration in diplomatic
circles in this city.
Christmas concerts and many
other forms of holiday celebra-
ton to follow the hanging of
the royal portraits are being
planned by the hundreds of sail
ors of every rank who expect
TO make their headquarters at
the new institute during the
next two weeks. Whole COM
panies from the big transatlan
tic liners that dock in the i'm
mediate vicinity, are beginning
to take up shore quarters in the
social, sleeping and dining
rooms of the building. From
commanders down to stokers
and stewards these men Ire en-
thusiastic over the decent, quiet
and entertaining m moda-
tions that they are finding open
to all of them during their shore

using an automobile To do your
travelling with. Parties of from
four To six or seven will 90 all
over the old country in this
way. This is said To be a most
delightfuland practicable way of
travelling there, owing to the fine
roads which everywhere inter
sect all of the European king
doms.
All Europe is very much
ahead of America in the matter
of roads They have had good
roads, perfectly passable in all
weather and such that troops
could be rapidly moved from
one point to another no matter
what the weather conditions, for
centuries Even into England
the Romans carried this princi-
pie into practice when Caesar
made his conquest of Britain
and 50 well was it done that
they still show some of the
roads which they built at that
early date when England was in
a state of very primitive civiliz-
alton to say the least.
Realizing the value of good
roads to the farmer and eSpeci-
ally since the advent of the rural
free delivery of mails, the agri
cultural department of the Uni
ted States is making every effort
to arouse interest and to assist
and instruct the country at large
in the question.
Not only in the matter of the
increase in value of the farm
but in the handling of crops
does the matter of roads become
of great Importance to the farm
er. 1t costs money to move
freight whether it is done with
the shoulder of a horse or by
steam.
The amount that can be NOV
ed by any given power is almost
wholly dependent upon the con-
dition of the road; over which
it is moved. AS an instance,
notice what railroads pay to
have Il hill cut down to enhance
the hauling of each engine that
runs over the road and compare
the trains which the Missouri
Pacific can haul over Froehling's
hill to the trains which the Bur
lington pulls out of here.
Those who have visited the
European countries say that
much of the heavy hauling is
done there with one horse and
that the amount that II of
them will move with compare
tive ease is almost incredible.
OF course most of their roads
are some form of macaddm and
are constantly kept in a fine
state of repair. Over such a
road IN ireland, James Murphy
told me recently, that he used
to go to town with one little
donkey and haul home for the
forge 1900 pounds of coal. This
would be an impos sible feat even
in town here.
We have here and will for
some time to come mostly
dirt roads, but there is as much
difference between a properly
constructed dirtroad and a poor
" made one as between a we'll
built house and one simply
thrown together, or between a
a weIl-made suit and a poor one.
To throw a lot of loose dirt
into the middle of a road does
not finish it nor accomplish its
purpose any more than to leave
the shingles of the roof or half
of the doors off, unless perhaps
you would argue, as did the man
who had the leaky roof, that
when it was raining he could
not fix it and when it was fair
he did not need to- Those who
