Herman b. Walker Writing for
North American.

The political center in the United States
next in importance to the national capital
itself. lust now is Trenton. N. j. Governor
Woodrow Wilson is distinctively a national
character, quite as much SO as if he were. a
leader in congress and much more so than
any present member of President Iaft's
cabinet. Governor Wilson is leading a
great fight for representative government
in New jersey, and the result of that fight
will rave far reaching influence throughout
the nation.
1t is highly important that the people
of New Jersey and of the nation Keep In
formed on the progress OF the battle for
popular rule as it is waged in Trenton.
Like every other leader in the cause of
human rights, Governor Wilson can hope
to win only through the aid of an enlight-
| ened public opinion.
TO keep the people informed on the
| issues at Trenton, the methods used and
the progress OF the battle. The North
American has engaged Herman b. Walker
as special correspondent.
Mr.. Walker is the best known news
paper man in New Jersey. He has been
for many years a special correspondent at
Trenton and at the national capital. He is
a contributor to progressive magazines, a
lecture on political subjects, a leader In
the New Idea movement, and he was the
organizer of the New Jersey peoples lobby,
which forced the passage of the direct pri.
mary law of 1907. the law that kept Boss
Smith from going back to the United
States senate.
Because of Mr.. Walkers personal ac-
quaintance with the New Jersey leader
and with the new movement for political
freedom, he is the best equipped man in
the country to keep the people informed
on the New jersey situation. His Letters
will be a regular feature OF The NORTH
American. adv.

Offers A Million For Good Roads

Il. Coleman dupont, President OF the
dupont Powder Company has offered to
advance a million dollars to the State OF
Delaware to bnild a fine broad highway
the full length of that State. He does
not ask any bonds nor interest, but ex-
poets to be reimbursed from taxes col
lected on the increased value in the and
which he expects the popular highway
to create.
Mr.. dupont wants this road to be a
hundred feet wide. AS most OF the roads
in Delaware are only 80 and 40 feet wide
the cost for condeming land would be
considerable. Sixty feet is the narrowest
width to which he will agree.
Such a road as he desires built, it is
thought will make Delaware IL OF the
most popular states for au%tomobiling and
do much to make Delaware's seasllore
resorts more frequented.
Mr.. DUPONT states that if his offer to
advance one million dollars shall not be
accepted, that he will donate 500. 900 to
the States good road" fund.
MIR. DUPONT on Tuesday stated that he
would increase the offer to So, 000, 900, if
necessary to insure the building OF a
modern highway.
Theodore B. Rogers, OF Wilmington
one of the states wealthiest young men
and a grandson of the late Theodore r.
Rogers, the millionaire locomotive build
er, who has offered $4,000 for the con-
struction OF the proposed highway.
Ii the highway costs more thar 800
OOD, the amount stipulated in the bill.
Mr.. Rogers announces that he will in
crease his offer, if necessary, up to ST.
500, 600.
Delaware should soon have the finest
roadway in the country with twoImillion-
aires completing in their generous loans
with which to build it.
