1--WE favor federal aid to state
and local authorities in the
construction and maintainence-
of post roads,"
This was Democratic pre-
election promise. It was a.
plank in the platform adopted
by the National Democratic
party at the Denver convention
in 1910. ] Ihave from the first.
assured my readers that the.
Democrats in the House cf Re-,
presentatives would give to the
people after election what they
promised on the stump before
election; that Speaker Champ,
Clark would insist upon hav-
ing every prediction promise
carried out to the letter. 4
have repeatedly urged in my
newspaper articles that Demo.
cratic Congressman help the
good roads movement as one of
the most effective methods of
giving the farmers of the Unit
ed States some of the benefits
of the vast government expend-
itures to which they are Justly
entitled.
This assurance has just been
made good, not in words but in
deeds. The Democratic House
OF Representatives. 1 am pleas
ed to announce to users of the.
public roads, has passed the
Shackleford amendment to the
Postoffice appropriation bilE
providing for an expenditure of
from ten to eighteen million
dollars annually for the con-
struction and improvement of
the nations roads.
The principle on which it is
proposed to spend this is based
on compensation to be paid by
the Federal government for the.
use of roads traversed by car
riers in the rural free delivery
services, and is divided intos
three classes. as follows:
Class "A"-The highest form
of improved road in the coun-
try, for which it is proposed to,
pay $25 per mile per year.
Class "B"-A thorouRhfare
of high quality, but not equal.
to Class "A", for which it IT,
proposed to pay $50 per mile
per year.
Class "C"-The ordinary dirt
road of the country, somewhat:
improved, for which it is pro-
posed to pay $l5 per mile per
year.
Sentiment in favor of road
improvement with money now
being wasted for fake commis-
sions like the Canadian bound
ary com mission-which exists
solely to provide soft berths foE-
lame duck politicians-is grow
ing rapidly throughout the:
country. For many years the
people who live in the farming:
communities, and in the email
Ter cities and towns, have felt
that too much of the public
money was being spent in the
large cities. In the last 10 years.
fully 80 per cent of the public
revenue has been spent in the
cities, Notwithstanding the fact
that the people of the country
have furnished more than half
of all the money collected by
the government.
i Neither the states nor the na.
tional governme mt will be the
loser by generous expenditure
for public road construction, fo,
the money will ultimately come.

most remarkable American comedy of
the present day, with record of two
years on Broadway, more than year
| in Chicago and record d-breaking en-
gagements all over the country, re-
turns to the Newark Theatre next
week. presented by practically the
same company of. splendid players
who took part in the first perform
ance of the piece and appeared all
through the famous run at the Gaiety
Theatre. and later at the George NJ.
Cohan Theatre, New York.
Mr.. Cohan, who is noted for the
speed and action with which all his
comedies abound, has fairly outdone
himself in his dramatization of
George Randolph Chester's Walling-
ford stories.
| Although a straight comedy, Get
Rich Quick Wallipgford" moves with
the swiftness that is invariably found
! in Cohan musical show. The result
| is a play that bristles with vitality
and pibrates with fun of a delightfully."-
| fresh and wholesome character.
| Mr.. Cohan has built his comedy
around the two central characters of
Chester's sketches-Wallingfo and
Blackie Daw. Utilizing half a dozen
| of Wallingford's adventures-his ar
rival in Battlesburg, his subsequent
promotion of the Covered Carpet Tack
Company, the interurban electric road
and real estate deals-cleverly knit
into an intensely interesting and con-
nected story, told by some twenty
characters, most of them the crea-
tions of George M. Cohan, the result
| is a perfectly constructed drama peo-
pied with real men and women that Is
both convincing and intensely anus
ing.
| The moral of the play is found at
| the close of the fourth act, when
Wallingford, standing at the entrance
Of his beautiful home, the lights OF
the bog mandatory, the hotel, thea
ire and blsys trolley cars, all OF
which are the result of his work,
cleaning in the distance, says to
Blackie Daw, now a man Of wealth
and position:
"what a fool clever man is to be
crook"

dramatic conception of the high
est order appealing to every sense OF
Justice and propriety is the remark
able play "The Servant in the
House, which will be produced by
the Corse Payton Stock Company at
the Orpheum Theatre next week.
That the hunger of brotherhood is at
the bottom of the unrest of the mod
ern civilized world is the theme OF
this mastery work by Charles Ram
Kennedy. The piece when first pre-
sented, 1t will be remembered, star
tied two continents and has since
filled the big show houses wherever
presented Manager Corse Payton
has secured the play for one weeks
performance by his capable company.
The central figure, Manson, whose
personality gives the play its title,
will be portrayed by Clifford Stork,
the interesting young leanIng man of
the Payton forces. 1t will be one of
the most difficult roles MIR. Stork
has as yet embodied, ana his qualis
ties of quiet manliness and chival-
rous warmth will be revealed in
artistic perspective. The Drain Man,
one of the strongest characters that
has been seen on the stage in recent
years, will be played by Joseph
Girard. Miss Mabel Brownell will be
seen as Martha, the wears wife,
whose alteration of her husband near
ly wrecks his soul The part of the
deaf and nearly blind bishop of Lam
cashire, the worldly man whose soul
is turned inside out by the deep
seeing Manson. will be in the hands
of Lee Sterrett. Miss Mabel Estelle
will embody' the winsome Mary, the
wishing child whose faith and love
have such an important influence on
every one around her. Arthur Jar
rett appears as the vicar, whose heart
is torn with remorse because of
neglecting his brother. the poor con-
dition of his church and the fruitless-
ness of his labors in the vineyard of
the Lord. The amusing role of Rog
ers. assistant to Manson. the butler,
will be skilfully handled by Harry B.
Roche. Rogers believes that every
man should keep his place" and
upbraids the butler for interfering
in household troubles. which should
not concern a servant In the house.
Manson, however, is the bishop of
Benares, who has chosen the guise
of an Oriental and the position of
butler in his brothers house to be-
come acquainted with the spiritual
ills of England. This brother of the
vicar has returned from India, where
he was famed for his Christ-like at
