PARIS, Feb. "a. To one who has
lived through the terribly exciting
days of the recent flood and the even
more discouraging days when the wat
ers subsidized. and the full extent Of
the enormous damage became more
and more apparent, nothing seems
more remarkable than the courage,
and even good humor, with which
the people of this city have borne the
disaster.
France is by some people consld-
cred old and effete, and yet here we
have a sudden revelation of youthful
strength and powers of resistance
in common with joyousness which
nothing can shake off, and which
sees in everything an excuse for crack
ing a joke.

ments of the inundation. Jest was

brought into fashion.

ALBANY, n. Y. Feb. 24.-Proposed
automobile legislation is the subject
for discussion at a special meeting of
the assembly committee on internal
affairs called for today. The various
automobile bills introduced in the
lower house will be given a further
hearing, this hearing being held at the
special request OF the National High
way Protective association and the
Automobile club of America.
There are now about a dozen bills,
three of which, at least, generally
amend the present automobile law.
Chairman Whitney said today that
he believed the result of the commit

would be a committee bill embodying
the best features of all of them.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CONSTRUCT.

MUCH DEPENDS ON LOCALITY

AS many Industrious members OF
various rural communities are anxious
TO receive information as to what kind

expert authority on road construction
and maintenance gives the following
valuable advice:
The proper determination of what
kind of tar macadam road to build
in given locality could only be made
by a competent highway engineer in
possession of all the data bearing on
the problem and preferably by an ex-
animation ON the ground.
Leaving for the moment the matter
of cost out Of the question, the selec-
ton of a suitable method of construe-
ton and of materials best adapted
thereto depends upon so many factors
that no choice Is possible without thor

lions. This would include knowl-
edge of the location of the road, Its
grades, the topography of the country
through which 1t runs, the climatic
conditions and especially Of the traffic
to which 1t is subjected.
A construction that would give salts
factory results in one section of the
country might be entirely unsuited to
another section, and in the same man
ner materials used successfully in Il
warm climate might fail in one where
extreme cold prevailed during a part
of the year.
When. as is almost always the case,
low cost Is the controlling considera
ton, still other factors are introduced
into the problem, and still more data
are required for its proper solution.
The question then becomes one not of
building the best possible road. but of
building the best possible road that
can be built for the money available.

THE SAME OLD BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan may have changed his
spots in so far as to be willing not
to force himself upon his party again
as candidate for the presidency
though even this we are somewhat in
clined to doubt. But he has not as
yet changed his character. That it
is the same old Bryan is made evident
by his attack in the Commoner on
Governor Harmon of Ohio. And how
any man guilty of this sort of thing
could ever receive the support of de-
mocracy is mystery.
Governor Harmon is one of the best
type Of democrats. He is honest, high
minded and has shown himself capa-
Bile in office. He is a candidate for
reelection to the governorship; and it
is generally admitted that, should he
succeed, he will be the democratic
nominee for president. At this mo-
ment, for this reason and for no 9th
er, comes Mr.. Bryan's paper, denoune-
ing Governor Harmon for the purely
imaginery offense of not insisting
upon a popular choice of United States
senators, and declaring that he is too
closely allied with the corporations for
his own good or that of his party.
Now we have no love for Governor
Harmon and no wish to see him sue
coed. But he is a decent man and de-
serves decent treatment. The reason
and purpose of Mr.. Bryan's assault
are obvious. 1t will, he thinks, pos
sibly prevent the reelection of Gov
ernOr Harmon in Ohio. That will pre-.
vent his denomination. And Mr.. Bry-
an is determined that no one but him
self or some one personally chosen by
him shall have the nomination while
he lives.
1t will in the future be counted one
of the strange freaks of American his.
tory that this man should have re-
ceiyed and held the support of so
many excellent people among the
voters for so long a time. For Mr..
Bryan has not changed. He is what
he has always been. He has always
charged every man who happened to
oppose his own ambition with person
al corruption. He has always made
the vote for Bryan his test of ma
| tional patriotism and civic righteous
ness.
