can be no objection-there can be no doubt-that Congress has the right to make appropriations for highways just as much as for postroads.
 "Wherever our flag has gone, we have followed 1t to build good roads. as they say, to develop the country. Don't you think it would be just as constitutional to build some good roads for our people at home, who support the government as the source of all Its revenues?
 "When we had war with Spain we in vaded Cuba, shouldered our picks and our shovels and went right off to build ing good roads for them-the finest roads in the world. When the war was over we withdrew our troops and came home, but we left our roads down there. Later they had little insurrection and called us back to build them some more good roads, but soon they let us come home again, and I'm looking for them to have another row soon."
 Coalition Needed
 Senator Bankhead urged the fourth National Good Roads convention to start movement for the coalition of all the five national good roads assoca- tions in the country for the purpose of marching on Washington, as the Harbors and Waterways association has done with the result of having an appropriation made for s5O,oO0,o0o. He stated before the gathering that there are IT senators who at present have prepared their speeches advocating the good roads movement and an appro- priation to further its activities. For merly, he said, when the subject was first presented to the Senate by him. self they all wanted to know how a man talking good roads had got loose In the assemblage
 He concluded his address by saying: MT. Hale. the great chairman of the appropriations committee, declared that 70 per cent of the appropriations were made in reparation of wars in the past and preparation for future wars, when there isn't speck of cloud in the sky I have still eight years in the Senate, thanks to the people of Alabama, and if God spares my life for that time I intend to redeem my pledge to my peo- pie with the most vigorous efforts in behalf of national appropriations for good roads and their maintenance"
 Standing Vote
 Upon the suggestion from one of the members in the audience, Senator Bank head at the conclusion of his speech put a standing vote to the audience as to whether they would all on their re- turn home demand of their representa- lives the assistance of the government in the building and maintenance of good roads. The whole gathering arose. With only few minutes remaining before the time for adjournment Martin Dodge, ex-director of the office of pub lie roads of Maryland, addressed few brief remarks to the gathering, which were continued afterwards at speak ing in the pavilion at East Lake, where the body were entertained as guests at an old-fashioned southern barbecue. Senator Dodge, in the beginning of his address, took occasion to speak in the high est terms of Secretary J. Asa Roun- tree of the fourth National Good Roads congress who, he said, was responsi- ble more than anyone else for the suc- cess of the present gathering and the impetus it had given to the good roads movement through the country.

ing to smoke and sleep and enjoy booze in the
same bed, at the same time. The little man
had attempted too much; and the consequence
was, that he set the bed afre. The flames
were near getting the inebriated statesman,
and he came flying out into the hallway, in
his shirttail. The damage done by the fire
was SO considerable that the insurance COM
pany had to cough up some ducats

The u s. Senate Surrenders to the

Negro

Senator Bristow, of Kansas, made cow
ardly surrender to the negroes; and in obedi-
ence to their demand on him, amended the
Direct Election-o Senators bill with pro-
vision giving the Federal Government con-
troll of such elections.
With that fatal proviso, we will not ac-
cept the bill. We don't intend to have Fed
eral bayonets at the polls again. Under the
amendment of Senator Bristow, negro SOL
diers might be sent to maintain order" and
to protect the coons at the polling places.

Senator Bristow may soon learn how he has

how gladly either of them would have run
against him, had I given the least encour-.

Now, doesn't your common sense tell you
that if such a thing could be proved on me,
the Georgian (Seely's paper) would be full
OF it; and that the Journal (Hoke Smiths
paper) would be harping on it, every day?
Ii Marion Smith believed that any such
scandal could be traced to me, would he be
telling 1t to one man at a time in private
conversation?
