NEW YORK, Jan. 2T.-The Unitarian

and others discuss the congenlal topic
''The Reasons for the Striking Success OF
Unitarians in Business, the Professions
and Public Life"
Presidelt Eliot began by saying that
he could easily remember the time when
anywhere west of the Hudson river a

even as late as the recent Presidential

''To this inquiry" said President Eliot,

KENT BELIEVES
in GOOD ROADS
Bill Providing for Improved
Highways There is Being
Prepared

Special TO TIE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Jan. 27.--The roads over which
the rural mails are carried from Dover
are in better condition this week, although
some OF the carriers have experienced
great difficulty IN getting over their
routes 1t has been a trying month on
good horsenesh. That some OF the neck
roads have shown SO soft a surface is
surprising to some, as a regular system
OF improving these roads at great cost has
been in progress for years.
The matter has provoked general
movement toward good roads, even II the
faith and credit Of the state has TO be
pledged and It Is believed that the Soper
bill, about TO he introduced in the Legis-
lature. will be a fer-reaching and pro-
Rressive measure, contemplating pernlan-
ent road building IN all Of the districts, 10
continue. year by year. and without any
contingencies that would prevent the COM
pletion of good roads.
Representative Soper has retained Form
er senator r. r. Kenney to draw for him
the sweeping good roads bill which he
proposes TO introduce in pursuance OF the
notice he has already given In the House.
Several OF the Republican members have
already pledged their assistance in get
ting this measure through the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Kenney was i'm consultation with
Mr. Soper and several other legislators for
the greater part OF Monday and as soon
as the bill can be drawn. a general con-
ference Of grangers and farmers. who are
not attached to the oranges, win be called
TO consider the bill while II Is pending.
The legislators who favor a determined
departure to get Delaware's roads per-
manently improved and farm values cor
respondingly increased. believe that the
New Jersey law combines conditions and
possibilities most applicable here and that
the Jersey law should he the foundation
for Delaware's road building.
