A Good Roads Angel,

Breaking In upon all the agitation
for good roads In this country, T.
Coleman Du Pont, head Of the Du
Pont Powder company OF Delaware,
announces his intention OF giving all
his millions, save one, TO the building
OF good roads In his state, and from
II into adjoining commonwealths,
This brings to very practical and
definite point OF action all the good
roads boosting. so-ealled, and ought
to set q mighty good example for 9th.
ers as able TO follow.
General Du Pont says he does not
believe In boarding his millions for
ever; that he has concluded 81. 0OC..
900 will be sufficient for him and his
family for present needs and herr
,agc: that by observation he has
learned that young men unburdened
b. large money endowments are apt
TO get on In life as well as those who
begin with millions another man has
made and left them. Thus he stops
by the wayslde in coming to his goal
Of philanthropy to preach mighty
wholesome homily. one which other
men OF vast fortunes ought to re-
member.
Good Ioaas have an economic yalue
which II Is not easy adequately to
estimate offhand. They have a vital
relation TO the basic problems Of
transportation and the cost OF living,
all OF which have been gone oysr
many times. So that one need not
think Of this bensfaction as purely
an impulse Of civic pride. Good
roads, OF course. enhance the beauty
OF a country. but they also enhance
the value OF lands and crops aud
lessen the cost OF transportation, II
is proposed to build first for Della
ware a boulevard 100 miles In length,
costing some $4,000. 900. For this a
special act of the legislature will be
required and the governor, who is In
sympathy with the Du Pont plan,
counts on calling the legislature into
special session for this purpose next
month. This remarkable innovation
of giving the state the direct benefit
OF accumulated wealth In the hands
of private citizens is . most encour.
aging and praiseworthy sign.
