NOVEL HELP FOR HORSES,
Moving Roadway for Teams With Full
Loads-CieveIanu Leads.

novel and important invention
the first rolling roadway ever built
has just recently been completed and
placed in operation in Cleveland. BY
means of it. says the Philadelphia
Record, teams With heavy loads are
carried up a 20 per cent. gradc-for-
ward APO feet and upward 60 feet in
four minutes or less Thousands Of
spectators have Witnessed this inter-
csting sight. while at the same time
numerous representatives from other
cities and even from Europe. inter
ested in the various problems of
transportation. have watched its oper-
atoms with interest.
In Cleveland, as in many other cities.
tho wagon route for a large volume Of
heavy traffic is necessarily up several
steep grades from the river on
factory street, the site of this first
roadway. the incline for many years
has been travcrscd by heavily Laden
teams, which climbed the grade at a
snail's pace aud with great difficulty.
At the same time it has never been
possible to haul full loads up this in
cline
Under the new regime the team
draws its load to the foot of the roll
ing roadway and is carried to the top
without any effort at all on the part
of the horses. In addition to the saw
ing of labor on the part of the horses
and the saving of time to the owner
of the vehicle, it is believed that
there will be Il noticeable saving in
blacksmth's bills.
The rolling roadway is a great end
less belt, which is operated by means
Of electric power, and which weighs
nin"ty-ninc tons. 1t is the invention
Of Colonel Isaac ID. Smead of Cincin-
natl, who worked nearly thre" years
on the dra wings before they were even
seen by others. The rolling roadway
is considered q wonderful piece of en-
ginCcrinG. About four months ar" re-
quired to build such roadway.
Nearly 100 men We're employed on the
construction of the one in cleveland
At the top of the hill there is
small tower When the wagons have
been clamped to the roadway at the
start the man in the tower is notified
by means of an electric signal. and tho
roadway begins to move at the rate
If four miles an hour. once at the
top of the hill. and upon the level.
the machinery stops. and the clamps
holding the wagon are looSened. Ten
vehicles can he placed upon the road
way at one time. The daily capacity
is about 500 vehicles. A toll of from
10 to % cents is charged, dependent
upon the weight of the load.
Since the completion of this road
way the railroads in the vicinity have
begun the erection of a large ware
house, and are planning to put in al
di,ional team tracks. The activities
in that locality have more than
doubled. and project is on foot u

c1pality.

The Supreme Court as An Issue.

More and more it is becoming recOE-
nized by the thoughtful men of the
country that the supreme court is a
real issue in the present presidential
campaign There are almost certain
to be four or five vacancies In that
high body during the term of the
President to be elected in November,
and one great question for the people
of the country to settle is whether
they want these vacancies filled by MI.
Taft or by Mr.. Bryan. A new Con-
gress is elecetd every two years and
President serves only four years, but
members of the supreme court are not
subject to change Only death or
voluntary retirement in old age works
a change there. The appointments
are for life and the man who puts on
the black silk gown passes upon the
constitutionality of the acts of Con-
greSS and exercises other powers OF
vast influence upon the life OF the ma
ton.
Many distinguished lawyers declare
that in the large analysis this supreme
court issue is the most important one
of the campaign. Governor Hughes
of New York in his address al
Youngstown, Ohio, and Secretary Root
at Saratoga, both describe its far
reaching importance. Mr.. Taft has
been for many years judge himself
His record as judge Is known to the
world and everybody knows the type
of men he would appoint to the SUI
preme bench. Mr. Bryan has no rank
as i lawyer, and most of his views on
government matters are under the
han of the leading lawyers of both
parties. AS President, he could APP
point, and presumably would appoint
men supporting the political vagarles
and governmental fallacics that he has
stood for in his presidential campaigns
The more this supreme court issue is
considered the more its Importance
will grow upon the country, and there
is 70 danger that too great emphasis
will be laid upon this point.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
"The Meeting House."
(Zion's Advocate.


That is what our fathers called it.
We do not use the word so often now
adays 1t is lit,Ie-well, little
old fashioned, perhaps. 1t doesn't
sound quite so stately and so up-to-
date as some other names. And 50
we speak of the church; or when we
must distinguish between the mate
rial building and the body occupy
ing, it. the church edihcc, or the
house of worship. whats in a
Nance Much, every way. Some
times we think there's a little some
thrg in that older name for the
sanctuary that doesn't always get in
to or find expression through our
more modern titles.
The mcetingh house. There can be
no doubt what they meant by that
They We're not thinking of the meet
ing of any companies of men and
women in the place so designate ed.
Undoubtedly the weekly religious
| meeting had special value and de
light on it's social side in those days
Of comparative separation and isola
tjGn, They were glad. then, for any
occ1sion that brought them face to
face with their neighbours But it
was not that thought that gave Signfi-
cane" to the name. There they
cainc to meet God. The bare barn
like building WAS the modern euuiva-
lent of the ancient tabernacle where
Cod drew near in special manner to
commune with his rcverent worship
pcrs. Going to meeting was, in their
simpler conception, just going to meet
Him. And the name came naturally;
the house of the meeting
There heaven came down their souls to
greet,
And glory crowned the mcrcy-seat."
!, might be interesting to inquire
whether this conception prevails to-
day to the extent to which it should
or whether. with the passing of the
name. there has not been the passing
of much of the idea for which the
name stood Suppose an honest an
sWer We're compelled to the question:
Why do you go to church? Might it
not vary in many instances from that
thought of meeting God ? Some go
because they enjoy the minister 5,
preaching; if he doesn't preach to
their liking they will not go. Some
go because of the fine music: if the
tenor flats. Or the contraltO sharps,
they are out of tune at once. Some
go because of long custom, or social
associations, or because this particu-
lar church is near by their home. or be-
cause of society aspirations. Some
mango to meet God: go expecting
to meet Him in song and sermon. in
prayer and praise, and are grievously
disappointed if no light comes to
them as the shining Of His face. and
no voice speaks to them out of the
cloud. MANY. we say: but we can't
help wondering how many such there
are in the average congregation.
What difference it would make tn
our church going to think of it thus
How much cricitism it would stop of

manner of speech, awkwardness of
appearanCe-everything. What would
II matter who spoke. or how he
spoke or what he said. if one were al
ways looking beyond him to see-God ,
Who could lay it to heart that some
body sighted him at the church if
he went there with heart intent on
meeting-God!
