THE GOOD ROADS pPOBLEu

The large and ,attentively regarded good
roads convention in New Jersey is a signf-
cant reminder of the increasingly urgent need
Of another general good roads movement and
OF a radical change in the whole highway con-
struction system. That state which one
of the very foremost in the good roads move
ment Of years a go and which brought its high
ways up 10 almost the highest standard IN
America. now takes leading part In organiz
ing the new movement, which will probably
mean the rebuilding Of most of the highways
which were constructed at so great cost in
cent years. II seems proba bic that all states
will have to join the movement and il may
he that those which have thus far neglected
10 improve their roads will be the gamers. in
that they will not have TO rebuild costly roads,
but can do their first work on the new type of
roads which must now be devised
The fact is that roads which a score of years
ago seemed all that could be desired now
found to be decidedly unsatisfactory. Twenty
years back a good macadam road was re-
garded as all but perfect Even those built of
native gravel instead of crushed stone were
highly satisfactory. But now they are scarcely
more satisfactory than were the dirt roads
which preceded them. They are intrinsically
as good as ever, but the character of the traffic
on them has very greatly changed. and the
roads which almost perfectly suited the traffic
OF twenty years ago are quite unsuited to that
Of to-day and unable To endure il. The
new type OF tires. the vastly greater weight
and speed, and other differences between motor
cars and horse-drawn vehicles cause roads
which formerly would have lasted in fine con
dition for years TO become worn out in a single
season.
The macadam road is so built that the use of
it by horses and steel-rimmed wheels instead
OF wearing ii out actually improves it. The
impact OF steel shoes and tires is equivalent
10 an incessant hammering. which beds the
metal into place and promotes its Conference.
with the natural cement provided by the dust
into solid but elastic sheet; and this process
continues in both wet weather and dry. But
the action of the big rubber tires of mot II
cars las a contrary effect. There is no sharp
impact Of steel upon flint, and no pounding
into place. But there is a tremendous suction,
which strips all the dust from the surface of
the road and scatters IL over the adjacent ter
ritory when dry and splashes ii OFF when 1t is
wet Thus, while the former use of roads was

Mr.. F0RAKER's EXPLANATION.

Senator Foraker's statement Of his relations
with the Standard Oil Company deals mainly
with side issues. In SO far as he meets the
vital issue he stands on what he asserts was
his right a lawyer TO accept employment
from the Standard OF Company or any other
corporation whose interests are constantly af-
fected by legislation while serving as a United
States Senator. He makes the plea that he
kept his two functions as advocate and law
maker absolutely distinct, that his relations
with bis client were always legal and never
poiitico-legal
The trouble with this explanation is that the
public has come 10 look with distrust on such
an association Of functions The ethics of pub
lie life certainly have changed. and changed for
the better In this respect. 1t is dangerous for
q public man TO try 10 serve two masters. one
as i lawyer and one as a legislator. Even the
most honest and high minded lawmaker might
find il difficult 10 explain the apparent conflict
of interests and motives resulting from such a
dual agency. The public judgment Of to-day is
extremely sensitive TO even the slightest appear
ance Of confused identity in the Interviewing
of legal and political functions.
Mr. Foraker also claims indulgence on the
ground that his employment counsel ly the
Standard Oil Company was public. 1t certainly
was not public in the ordinary sense "f the word,
or the letters produced by Mr.. Hearst would not
have made so great a sensation. IT is extremely
doubtful whether Mr.. Foraker could have Sc
cured a reelection as United States Senator if
the fact that he retained as counsel for the
Standard Oil Company had been fully under
stood or widely advertised in Ohio. The people
of Ohio would probably have preferred TO elect
q Senator not so employed. The Ohio Senator
saws that he found it advisable 10 sever his
legal connection with the oil company in the
course OF his second term Yet If he considered
il above reproach in the first term he might
logically have considered il above reproach III
the second. The people of Ohio would undoubt-
edIy have condemned Il as altogether insult
able five years ago, and they do condemn II as

present time is almost purely destructive.
The question is whether style or roaa eau
he devised which will he equally suited to the
new and the old traffic. or whether speclai
roads must be established for each OF the
two classes Probably the best road for motor
ears would be of solid stone. like Belgian oiock
movements. or of hard concrete But such
reads. besides being prohibitively costly LOT
most places, would be intoleraDie TOT othei

petroleum has been resorted to for the pro-
lection of macadam roads. The oil does abate
the nuisance of dust and largely that OF mud
also. and to a certain extent thus preserves
the road from having its surface stripped on ;
but il has some decidedly offensive FEATURES
and is by no means infalli5le as preservatlvr.
Better results have been hoped for from the
rse of coal tar mixed with the finishing layer
of crushed stone. but that system adds much
To the cost of already costly roads Moreover,
entirely apart from the question of material
the two classes of traffic seem to call for diff
ferent forms OF road contour. The old style
vehicles are we'll adapted TO roads of consid-
erable Gambler while motor cars prefer very
slight Gambler or none at all. To suit both
kinds and to do Justice to both is problem not

RTSST4S NEW CRUISER.

Whatever lessons critical outsiders might de
rive from an important naval engagement, IT
would not follow that the nations whose shlps
participated in the fight would draw the same
conclusions The unsuccessful contestant too,
might we'll conStrue the result somewhat dl1-
ferently from the victor. Even if there was
general agreement concerning the causes OF de
feat equally competent judges might not attach
the same weight to them For this reason no
little curiosity has been felt concerning the eff
feet of experience On Russia's naval programme
If the misfortunes of three years ago had in
spired any special convictions evidence might
be looked for in her new ships of war AS the
Rurik is one of the first TO be completed since
the war with Japan, her design will be scruti-
nized with much interest.
The Rurik belongs to the same class as the
Tennessee. Both are armored cruisers, and Oh
both the batteries are composed of guns of sew
eral sizes. In two or three respects the Rus
sian cruiser is slightly superior to the American.
Her four 10-inch breechloaders are longer than
the Tennessee's and they are mounted so that
they can be elevated if necessary, at an angle
of 35 degrees with horizontal. Provision has
been made for carrying an exceptionally large
amount of powder on the Rurik, and her armor
extends from end to end and far below the
waterline.
The most striking innovation in the plan Of
the new cruiser seems TO be her ability to train
her guns at unusual height. 1t makes it
possible for her to keep on fighting in spite of
a list heavy enough to interfere with effective
fire under ordinary circumstances. In at least
one ether particular Russia's example deserves
consideration, if not imitation. 1t is said that
the tests of speed. machinery and guns pre-
scribed as the conditions of acceptance were in
the case of the Rurik more rigorous than any
ever before demanded of the builders of war
vessels. Her own disappointments may in some
measure account for Russia's present strictness,
but she is probably not the only nation in the
world which has had reason to regret laxity in
dealing with contractors.
