attitude of the average farmer
toward the roads he was condemned
to use was that of the Eastern
fatalist. A bad road was n decree
of fate or n visitation of Providence,
sent upon him for his sins. About
all he did for the roads was to pay
his road tax"-for the most part
wasted in temporary and generally
worthless repairs-and, If given
to profanity, fervently to cuSs his
supervisors when the subject of
roads was mentioned.
But a change has come over the
spirit of the farmers dreams. He
is beginning to realize more or less
clearly that his bad roads that kill
his teams. smash his vehicles, and
ruin his temper are due not to fate
or Providence, but to foolery and
negligence essentially his own.
Throughout the State the farmer
is moving to correct both. He has
accepted the fact that if he wants
good roads he will have to pay for
them; but he also begins to realize
the difference between a perpetual
drain on his resources for which
he gets nothing in return. and a
wise and judicious investment that
pays from the beginning.
This is the secret of the great
impetus that has been given to
road building in the State. Good
roads can only be built at heavy
cost; but the universal experience
of the world has been that, how
ever much it was necessary to
eXpend in building them, good
roads have been worth all and
more than all they cost.
1t is infinitely gratifying to all
who are interested in the progress
and well-being of Virginia to see
the growth of the demand for good
roads. - Richmond News-Leader.

nonulatiou at only little more than the
average rate for the entire nation.
The returns so far made public for
Easterif and Western cities show that
there is no such thing as Il general rate
ot growth for one section or the other
Cities have gained chiefly because OF
local conditions. and the rate varies
greatly both East and West. Thus in the
territory between the Allegheny Noun
tains and the Mississippi Detroit showed
n gain of 6} per cent. Columbus, Ohio.
Of 44G. indianapolis 80. Milwaukee 81
Toledo 2I.S. Pittsburg 1S.6 and C1ncln-
natl H. Beyond the Mississippi the IN
crease for Kansas City was 51.S per
cent. for St Paul 31.6 and for st. Louis
1914 In the East the same uneYenness
in growth was exhibited. The gain OF
Newark was 41.2 per cent, of Jersey city
297. Providence 21.S. Syracuse 26.6 and
Washington IS. AnnexatioHs of territory
no doubt contributed to some of these
discrepancies. but the tendency Of each
city and each state nowadays Is to grow
IN accordance with local conditions and
in response to particular stimulus,
rather than - be carried along by a
general sectional advance.
The state censuses of 1905 gave ample
proof of the slackening growth of the
agricultural portions Of the West. in
spite of high prices and widespread
prosperity. 1t was also made clear that
the great industrial states of the East
were more than holding their own. New
York undoubtedly grew faster between
1900 and 1910 than between 1890 and
1900 or between 1880 and 1890. So did
New Jersey. and Pennsylvania is not far
behind previous records. The census re-
turns. when completed. will probably
show a fairer distribution of gain among
all the sections than has occurred under
any previous federal enumeration
