MoCLUNG AND coon ROADs.

EE McCLUNG. Treasurer Of the United States, has
II consented to preside over the financial section of
the American pad Congress in Atlantic City the first
week in October In that section the most modern
methods of financing the construction and maintenance
Of public roads will be discussed Mr. Mccung holds
rightly that there is urgent need for reform in the
management Of road finances Discussing that phase
Of the road question. he says:
MY observations lead to believe that in com
psrahvey few instances is the same care taken Of
funds for road Improvement as is taken by financial
institutions for private enterprises. The care
and Judgment displayed by bankers in making invest
ments should be shown by state and local highway de-
partmens in the expenditure Of public moneys for the
Improvement and maintenance Of roads Legislation and
regulation should be urged in each provide
for the evying Of road carefully prepared
estimates for the introduction Of simple yet thorough
systems OF accounting and cost keeping for system
Of regulating bond issues which would insure economy
and wise business management AS one Of the poss-
btes worth considering might simply refer to
the difference between the sinking fund and
serial bond method-as applied 10 bond ssues-and
their relative m erits" In with all others in
terested in the good roads movement. Mr. .McCung Is
grathed exceedingly by the activities the various
State bankers association in the good movement
He believes that the hnanoers Of the country have
great deal TO do with shaping the road along
the right lines and expresses the hope that every
bankers association will have representatives
in the conference road finances which will be held
at the American Road Congress

THE HIGH LIFE
Issues Warning to Its Thou
sands Of Employees, Look
ing for Efficiency

If you see railroad employee with
his cap pulled down over his eyes
heading straight for home you can wa
ger that he works for the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad. No more Of the high
life for the men who operare the trains
on this system They are henceforth
doomed to the simple life-all because
of an order issued yesterday by the
operating department The order
urges upon all employees that self-pre-
servation is the first law Of railroad
safety, and the Baltimore g. Ohio pro-
misses not to double-track the Straight
and narrow path" which their employ
es must follow.
Both Third Vice President A. w.
Thompson and General Manager c. w.
Galloway firmly believe that the best
railroad man is he who is physically
able at all times to render 100 per
cent. efficiency in the performance of
his duty. Therefore they had circu-
lated in all the railroad terminals and
other places where the roads employ
es congregate a notice, OF which the
following is a part;
The hours of service law contem-
plates that employees shall devote their
time while off duty primarily to OBJ
tanning ample rest Employees will
therefore, be expected to devote their
off duty so that they will be in proper
condition for prompt, safe and enc
lent performance of their respective
duties.
Thousands of the railroads employ
es read the notice yesterday and stood
aghast What do it mean?' they
asked each other. And then they
agreed that evidently their employers
thought they should rest while off
duty.

LOWELL. Mass, April 14-CoIonel
Roosevelt was greeted at the Middle
sex railroad station at 1880 last night
by 10000 persons. including veterans of
the civil, Spanish and Philippine wars,
prominent State. city and county on
cials. many prominent business and pro-
fessional men and hundreds of women.
Hundreds were there an hour ahead OF
time. ..., ..-.-..-
Cheers, shrieks from steam whistles
and the footing of automobile horns
greeted his arrival. He spoke for forty
five minutes from temporary platform
and seemed exhausted by his strenu-
Gus day
The colonel was introduced by Col
William NJ. Osgood as the next Presi-
dent of the United States.
Roosevelt made sharp reference to
Congressman Butler Ames, saying: II
am told Congressman Ames made the
statement that he would rather be
beaten with President Taft than elected
with me. II Is seldom l agree with Con-
gressman Ames, but / do In this.

beaten than elected with me.
Colonel Roosevelt referred to the pri-
mary law in Massachusetts, and ex-
pressed the wish that Massachusetts
citizens could have an opportunity OF

No Need Being Old or .=.-.
Wrinkled Before Is

Lillian Russell says any woman who
has wrinkles before she's seventy-hve is
herself responsible for them. Sunshine
and fresh air she considers more waltz
able as complexion preservers than nos
trums and cosmetics.
The chief objection to cosmetics is
that at best they only temporarily COW
er up defects. There are certain true
aids to Nature which may be applied
with directly opposite effect. Ordinary
rnercolized wax, for instance. actually
removes bad or oldish complexion. by
gradually. almost imperceptibly, peel
ing off the worn-out scarf skin. Just
one ounce, procurable at any drug
store, will soon unveil an entirely new
and natural complexion. with an ex-
quisite girlish color. or course Gu
taneous blemishes like pimples, freek-
les. fine lines, moth patches, liver spots,
disappear with the discarded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles, q face
bath which also produces natural re-
suits is made by dissolving an ounce OF
saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. It's
wonderfully effective.

Flying Visit Reveals Fact
His Support Is Universal
Among Voters.

CONCORD, N. H., April 1.-THE ef-
feet Of the flying visit OF Colonel Roose-
veit to this State yesterday is being
felt today In every city and town
through the fact that the overwhelming
reception rendered him exceeded even
the expectations OF his campaign man
ayers and revealed the fact that his
support is universal here with the ex-
ception Of the professional politicians
and the money interests.
In this city thousands ran after his
automobile, cheering and waving their
hats and trying to shake his hand. AZ
the procession, headed by the band,
turned into Main street the crowd grew
larger and practically everybody Joined
in the throng. When the former Presi-
dent, escorted by Governor Bass, walked
upon the stage of the Auditorium they
faced an audience of 1000. every inch
of standing room being occupied.
Comes With Rush.
Colonel Roosevelt came on with
rush. The way he breezed into the
living political picture at the Auditor
ium set the hearts of his followers beat
ing more rapidly. and on the first
glimpse of his stalwart form they be-
gan cheering In real wild west style.
The colonel outlined his attitude to-
ward arbitration and told what hc
would and would not arbitrate saying
that notwithstanding his belligerent
reputation he was the only President
of the United States who has been
awarded the Nobel peace prize. lie
reminded his audience that he was the
man who had rejuvenated The Hague
peace court. and made IL q real power
for good and peace.
He referred to the United States be-
ing called In as mediator between Japan
and Russia, and added: II never did
and never will stand for anything diff
ferent in the conduct Of nations toward
this nation or our nation with foreign
nations that never will stand between
honorable men"
This brought forth tremendous cheer
ing. Then he paid his respects 10 SEN

the campaign classed Senator Crane
among the bosses allied with the special
interests.

Are Still Confident.
At noon today. however, the Taft peo-
pie sought to encourage their demoral-
ized followers by the statement that
even with Pennsylvania lost there is
no question about President Taft's
nomination at the Chicago convention.
The figures offered to prove this are
based on the assumption that President
Taft already has 339 delegates who are
under instruction to vote for him. To
this total. they declare, must be added
the delegates he has saved out of the
wreck in Pennsylvania. Then, since the
winning candidate must poll $40 votes In
the convention, the argument Is that
President Taft needs less than 200 more
delegates. 20 insure his nomination.

he will get this many additional dele

On the other hand. it is argued. Col
onel Roosevelt has less than 200 dele
gates thus far. including the Pennsyl-
vania victory. and he cannot possibly
hope I pull enough delegates out OF
the rest Of the States to oyertake PRESS

Confronted by the fact, however. that
a great many of the delegates claimed
for Mr.. Taft are contested. and that
there Is every reasoa to believe many
of them would be refused a sat on ac-
count Of charges Of fraud. the friends OF
