New York 10 setting fine exam
pie in road improvement. The State
Engineer reports that In 1908 more
miles OF road will have been con-
structed than In any previous year.
The work went on In the summer at
the rate OF $l,50O.G00 a month, as
measuei ~ the expenditure. After
the present year a special commission
will have charge OF the principal
highways, and certain through routes
are to De built by 1t between the large
cities. The less important roads will
still be cared for by the county and
township authorities as heretofore.
The Legislature has appropriated
$50, 900 900 for main highways, ana
the pre- sent State policy Is to push for
ward tneir construction as fast as pos
sible.
III this energetic course be con-
trasted with that of most OF the other
States. it will be to their great disad-
vantage. Most representatives OF the
people in Pennsylvania are. like Gov
ernor Stuart. anxious enough that the
roads should be bettered and that
commOdious new avenues Of travel
and transportation should be opened.
But It Is quite evident that popular
education as to the great profit that
good roads will bring to community
Is still sorely lacking. There is not
among farmers the enthusiasm on
this subject which 1t surely merits.
The truth must be instilled into them
over and over again that money ex-
pended upon proper highways is mon
ey well invested and will certainly
pay interest MAN, folds-Norfolk Led.

AMBITIOUS Mr.. LoNeWoRTH.

| No one who has taken more than
cursory glance at Congressman
Nicholas Longworth since he married
into fame. was surprised at the ex-
hibition he made OF himself recent
ly at Rock Island. In fact. most peo-
pie who gave the matter any thought
at all. expected just such nantes
tation OF assininity sooner or later
from that quarter.
Before he paid court to Miss Roose-
welt. the young man was practically
unknown outside Of Cincinnati. ex-
cept to horsemen and race track de-
voices. He was simply an average
specimen Of the present generation.
who inherited quite a comfortable
fortune, and was willing to turn
loose a fair portion Of i, to get into
public life.
Boss" Cox. needed campaign
money and as Longworth had that in
abundance. and bore signs Of being
a harmless and plastic individual.
such as bosses find no trouble in
using as they please. the future
prince-consort was taken up and sent
to Congress.
Ait;r the marriage, the speaker OF
the House graciously permitted Rep
Longwoiah to make an
occasional speech in that body, the
chief features OF which were always
servile flattery Of the President or
extravagant praise Of some movement
with which Mr.. Roosevelt was d..
rectly identified.
Pursuit Of them by silly, curiosity
mad woms whenever and wherever
the couple appeared in public, seems
to have led Longworth to believe
that he amounts to something more
than being merely the untal snted
husband OF President Rooseveit's
daughter. In arriving at this con.
clrsion. signs are unmistakabie that
the Ohio representative erred.
Carried away, doubtless. by the
manifestations of Roosevelt feeling
in his audience, the young Congress
man lost his head and gave away
what probably was intended to be
held as a family secret Eight years
Of Taft to be followed BY eight years
more Of Roosevelt and then presum-
ably eight years Of Lonsworth. him.
