MAY RESTORE
THE TIME Limit
General Conference of MethO.
dist Church to Discuss
the Subject
THE ELECTION OF BISHOPS

The approaching General Conference
of the Methodist Church win be of
vital interest to worldwide Method
ism. That body. with representatives
from all parts Of the world, will meet
next May in Baltimore. Questions
touching every phase of church work
viii be presented and policies for the
future decided
The General Conference is the ad-
ministrative body of the church, meet
ing once in four years. 1t is the
highest body of Methodism and the
final court of appeals for all questions
of ecclesiastical law and administra-
tive policy. In it's membership will be
found the most conspicuous ministers
and laymen Of the Methodist Church
and the general public will expect
much of interest FROM the meeting.
Among a few of the much-talked-of
questions will be that of the length of
pastorates. Eight years ago the dis
tinctive mark Of the Methodist preach
er was removed; up 20 that time it
was impossible for him to remain in
one church longer than five years.
Then it was enacted that, while the
pastor was appointed to his church
year by year, he could be returned as
many years as the appointing power
should so decree. The removal of the
time-limit has not been received with
universal favor; it begins to look as
though the question would again be
presented. and there is no telling as to
just the outcome.
Acceptable to Delaware.
Here in Delaware the removal of the
time-limit has worked most accept
ably, and quite number Of pastors
are now serving long terms. But a
return to- the limit will probably
be urged by many of the delegates.
There is another question that is
likely to be debated: the reduction Of
the size of the General Conference it.
self. The church now has in the ruling
body the same number of laymen as
ministers; and since that has been the
law, the conference has been cry large
and unwieldy. The present body will
number nearly 500. The delegates are.
elected according to the number Of
ministers. one for every As effective
members Of an annual conference.
The church press has given publicity
to plans from many legislators. There
is one that appears feasible and looks
as though it would work admirably;
it is to elect delegates on the basis Of
church membership. It proposes that
the present General Conference settle
hte number to constitute the body in
1912 and then assign the representation
according to the membership of the
church. 1t is the same plan as that
followed in electing members Of con-
gress.
Election Of Bishops.
OF course the election Of new bish-
ops viii be among the greatest matters
to be considered and decided. The
most conspicuous candidate in this re-
gion will probably be the RnE. David
G. Downey, d. d., assistant secretary
Of the Sunday school publications OF
the church.

SNOW TO KEEP
DEMOCRATS COOL
Carloads Of II to be Used in
the National Convention
at Denver

'"rhe latest plan the people in Denver
have to astonish the visitors to the
National Democratic Convention which
meets in that city July z is to bring
down several carloads of snow from
the mountains" said ]. B. Clarken, a
travelling salesman, yesterday after
noon to a reporter as he was chatting
at the Clayton House about a recent
trip to Colorado. you see, 1t is only
sixty miles from Denver to the banks
of eternal snow, and there is a railway
running to the tops of the mountain
where the snow banks are. II is pro-
posed to bring this snow down to the
convention hall and use it for cooling
purposes. There are immense fans in
the convention hall that circulate the
air through the place and when the air
is drawn off banks Of snow ii will cool
the atmosphere so thoroughly that
there will be no possibility of its be-
coming heated by the fiercest debates.
when the Elks were in Denver two
years ago at their annual national
meeting they were pelted with snow
balls from one side and flowers on the
other This novel experience will be
duplicated this season at the Demo-
cratic convention by having several
carloads Of snow and huge masses of
flowers in the convention hall"
Mr.. Clarken stated that a reception
is being prepared for the national dele
gates from Delaware by former Della
wareans who are now in Denver. 1t
appears that all former residents of
this State are to unite in giving the
delegates and alternates from this
state a welcome when they get to Dem
yer, and as Colorado is plentifully sup
piled with people who formerly lived
here, the welcome is likely to be a
hearty one.

COST OF GRAVEL AND
MACADAM ROADS

G. c. Houston Of WatselSa, ILL.,, has built
many miles Of gravel and macadam roads
in Indiana and he tells what they cost
in the current number of Municipal En-
cheering Magazine. Orange county roads
u feet wide with creek gravel p inches
deep in the center and inches deep at
the outer edges, not rolled, cost S1i0O a
mile ten years ago and are in fine condl-
ton now with but little repair. New
roads of the same material. feet wide
and inches deep now cost $500 a mile
with little cost for drainage and grading.
A road in Jackson county macadamized
u feet wide, with some earth filling and
two steel bridges cost $500 for a mile.
Hard limestone roads u feet wide and L
and inches deep with little grading anc
bridging, cost $4,000 a mile in Lawrence
county. Another road in the same county
with base Of hard limestone s and 4 in.
ches deep and top layer of gravel anc
2 inches deep cost $500 a mile. Mr.. Hous-
ton goes on to say that the Swope law
since its passage in 1888, has been a great
blessing to the state of Indiana in genera
and to the southern part in particular
and most of all to the hilly country iylns
south of the west fork of White river. thC
land of Abe Martin and his neighbors
This law has enabled the state to rise tc
the first in the union for good roads.
The great state Of Illinois is far behind
Indiana In the matter Of road building.
The excuse generally made is that ma
terial cannot be procured. That this propo-
sition is erroneous will be seen when we
find the farmers Of Newton county. In
diana shipping stone for road building
from Monence. Illinois. But the farmers
on the Illinois side Of the line find this
material too costly.
recently had occasion to pass over a
short piece Of road in a pleasant village
in the northern part Of Illinois, where an
attempt had been made at macadamising
one of the streets about on the system
formerly used by the old supervisors some
years ago. A fine lot of crushed limestone
had been spread on the street on a black
soil foundation. This soil is excellent for
corn, but bad for roads. The stone would
be excellent for roads IL properly put
down, but under no circumstance is It
good for corn. The stone and the soil
became mixed in about equal proportions
and looked very much like a batch Of tar
macadam ready for spreading. The road
as built was practically useless on ac-
count of the black mud. The corn produc-
ing qualities Of the soil was destroyed by
being mixed with the limestone. 1t is to
be hoped that Illinois will fall into line on
the subject Of good roads in the near fu-
ture.
I think the roads Of the future in the
vicinity Of small cities especially. and
adapted to the growing conditions Of the
farming communities, will be a roadway
Il feet wide, of two courses of stone. both
courses as well as the sub-grade being
well rolled. The lower course about in
