The Good Roads Convention

The good roads convention which
met In Denver last week laid out
a good plan of campaign ana
adopted resolutions which contain
excellent suggestions respecting tine
way good roads may be secured.
The legislature will do well to act
upon these suggestions and enac'
whatever laws may be needed 10
attain the object sought.
The highways commission should
be given control of the funds Tor
road construction in order that
consistent plan may be pursued
and 30 that no work may be vast
ed. Everything in road building
should tend toward the great end
desired, which is the construction
of a complete system of highways
covering the whole state.
A great thing attained through
the discussion of the good ROADS
subject is the development OF a
strong public sentiment in favor OF
the Improvement. When the senti-
ment of the people in favor OF a
project is aroused, the day OF It's
achievement is not far off That
Is the situation now. and 1t STANDS
In marked contrast to the condition
of affairs which existed when an
advocate of good roads could hard
ly gain a hearing.
The employment of oonvicts In
building state roads has been at
tended by such great success that
the administration of the peniten-
tiary Is committed definitely to that
policy. and labor of that kind may
be counted on for future use. This
employment of convicts has the
great advantage that the product
of their labor does not conflict with
the product of free labor. There
10 so much road building needed bn
this state that the employment of
convicts cannot be said to compete
with other kinds of labor. Let the
work be pushed with the greatest
possible speed. 1t will require many
years before all the roads required
In Colorado will be built.
The convention made "A good
suggestion when 1t recommended
that the constitution be amended in
ways which would authorize cOun-
ties to Issue bonds for road con-
s.ruction. This would provide need
ed funds which In many cases
could not be supplied in any other
way. Let posterity help pay for
the roads over which II will drive.

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. h
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie lace vas ~disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth owe his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine, of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four week the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q

For so long a period has Paul de Longpre
been closely identified with the art life OF the
United States, and particularly of southern Cali
fornia, where he has long made his home, that
many persons overlook the fact-wh1 might In
deed be suspected from his name-that ne is a
native of our sister republic Of France. Born IN
Paris some %ffty-ive years ago, he was one OF ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages OF
an educational character. However,, as a young
boy he manifested talent, seemingly amounting
almost to genius, for the painting OF floral SUD
iects. and he spent a portion Of each year in the
country near Paris in order to study at hrst hano
the floral subjects he loved so we'll. Indeed ne
would probably have given up his "hole ume 10
sketchine in the luxuriant flower gardens of this
favored region had it not been for the fact that
he had his living to make and did 1t by the most
mosaic but vastly more remuneratlve occupa-
ton of decorating fans.
All the while, of course, his heart was IN the
flower painting and his efforts attracted atten-
tion from the outset. In 1876 he won the SUI
nreme honor of having his pictures hung in the
Paris salon and similar recognition came on sew
oral succeeding years. A few years later, how
evar the entire course of his plans was suddenly
altered by the failure of the Paris banking lnstl-

when the financial crash came 1t found this
orn man. vet under twenty-five years of age,
with the responsibilities of a family consisting
of a wife and three children-two daughters and
a son.
In this domestic crisis the young artist deter
lived rnon q bold step-nothing less than a re-
solve to turn his back upon Paris and seek his
fortune in the new world. Almost all his friends,
with characteristic p~essimism, predicted disaster,
hut he nevertheless transferred the seat OF his
activities to New York, where he met with a
gradually increasing measure OF success. 1hen,
unon paving a visit to southern California, he, as
was to be expected, straightway fell in love with
the land of flowers. He Immediately determined
henceforth to make his home there attracted no

fully he said that de Longpre has ever taken MS
own medicine in this respect, for all that he has
won financial as well as artistic success.
It might be supposed that a man who after nav
ing passed the half-century mark was plunglhs
into a new field Of artistic endeavor would have
his hands full. but not so the resourceful faul de
Lonepre. With a couple of operas under way ana
Sousa's band and other concert organizations play
ing his lighter compositions and clamor1ng FOR
more. the artist composer is even now f1ndlng time
to act as the chief promoter of a new movement OF
which he is also the originator and which is known
as a crusade for national art. This is purely a
labor Of love on the part of the king of flower
painters-an effort to further a public-spirited
movement having for it's object the education OF
the whole American people in art and the better
appreciation of art works whether executed Dy
Americans or foreigners.
The chief aim of the movement, aside from
the educational benefit which must inevitably &C
crue to the whole people who are thus enabled to
understand and appreciate art, is to engineer the
public sentiment that will result in the extending
Of governmental aid to the cause Of art. Mr.. de
Longpre feels that it is the lack Of this govern
mental aid and endorsement Of the cause Of art
in any of it's branches that is mainly responsible
for the fact that the United States is so far be-
hind many of the European countries in the mat
ter of art. He would like to see the people
through their federal government extend and de-
velop the national art gallery, in which project a
beginning has lately been made, and he would like
to see through the same means the establishment
of a national school of painting, a national conser-
vatory of music and a national school of sculpture.

When Luther w. Hopkins Joined

of II, one of the boys who made
Thomas Jonathan Jackson "StOnewall
Jackson" and who bore a noble part
in the conflict. In From Bull Run to
Appomattox'' Mr. Hopkins recalls
some of the thoughts and acts OF his
first night on a battle field, says he
Youths Companion.
We were ordered to sleep on our
arms" the night whose dawn was to
usher in the battle. I had heard a
good deal about soldiers Obeying or
ders. I thought Of the boy who
stood on the burning deck so when
l lay down that night, with old moth
er earth for a bed, | stretched myself
out at full length OF top Of my mus
ket.
1t was a little rough, but the mere
thought of being a soldier and sleep
ing on my arms" on the eve of battle
made my bed feel as soft as a bed of
roses.
And then the gun, It was al old
fint-lock musket, minus the flint, and
no powder or ball. But I was at least
a soldier and had a gun, and would
surely see the battle and write home
about it. A soldier seldom thinks he
will be among the slain. He may be
wounded or taken prisoner, but 1t is
always the other fellow who is going
to be killed.
