 The OLD TRAILS HIGHWAY
 traverses a soil every mile ot
 which is American History cry
 stallised, The Braddock Road,
 the Cumberland Pike, the Ma
 tional Highway to St. Louis, are
 only links in the long cham. con-
 meeting by means of the old
 Boon's Lick Road in Missouri
 with the Santa Fe Trail that for
 nearly 1000 miles between Boone
 wills, Mo, and the New Mexican
 capital has been marked with
 Monuments by the devotion of
 the Daughters of the American
 Revolution. From there it fol-
 lows the line of march of General Kearney's army into California and in part that of the Spanish founders of San Francisco and the ancient Missions. It takes in the wonders of the South West the sky village of Acoma and the Enchanted Mesa, the Spanish Inscription Rock, Isleta and Laguna pueblos and the h. dian pueblos of Zuni. more or less identical with the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola. It em- braces the Romanses, the Petri- fled Forests, the Painted Desert, and Cliff Dwellings. the Grand Canyon. Montezuma's We'll and Castle and the Gila River country famed in Aztec tradition, while it crosses the Great American Desert through it's most fertile part, the Imperial Valley, on it's way to San Diego and Los Ange- les. Who with the red blood of national pride within hlm does not thrill at the thought of such highways as these ?.
 They are surely Highways worthy of the American People. And 1 am convinced that the building of this Trans continen- tai Highways rests with the Peo- pie themselves. Much valuable time will be lost waiting for Federal aid. Let organized eff fort still be directed towards in- ducing Congress to vote money for National Highways. but let it not be forg gotten that the peo- pie have already taken the initial steps in this work, and that the Highways can be more rapidly built by the people themselves. would quote the Territorial Highway" now being undertaken by Arizona across the State in proof of this.
 But how can sufficiently the need, everywhere of coordination be- tween the States interested? The waste of energy on all sorCs of unrelated schemes for Good Roads is Iamentable. Interest almost everywhere is purely local. Scarcely State concerns itself serioulsy as 10 what IS be- ing done by it's neighbors or looks beyond it's borders to the various links in the Trans con- tinental chain. Scarcely a Coun- tv Commissioner or Good Roads ! has considered the possible importance of his section of the road in it's relation to the burning need of the hour Ma 5ionaI Highway from Ocean to Ocean.
 Concerted effort would char ge all this. He should see Cover 1ors and State engineers in to accept a definite route 1 for the Trans Continental High way.

 The Trans-ContinentaI High ways are of first importance. Any scheme for State Highways which do not form a direct link in the Trans-Continental chain must be secondary.

Senator Hoke Smith announces that

who would really like to receive them
rather than to send them out to an
indiscriminate list of names.

tiles.
Readers of The Times-Recorder
who wish to receive seed next season
are invited to drop a line to Senator
Smith, and their names will be add
ed to his seed list. The senator will
have 10000 packages of garden seed
and 1900 packages of f1awer seed,
and a limited amount of upland long
staple cotton seed and other varieties
and as far as they will go will send
them to those who make requests.
He his as his disposal, also a large
number of farmers bulletins treating
of all sorts of subjects in reference
10 agriculture and farm matters. Far
mers who would like to take up anw
particular subject should write to the
senator and bulletins in reference 10

vast amount of matter that has been

The senator has arranged to obtain

illustrated pamphlet on the Mexican
boil weevil which is now in press and
will soon be issued The number is
very limited, but he will on request
send copies as long as the supply
lasts.

possible and to place it where it

their accredited representatives out of

the people that they cannot have
what they want. 1t is not Roosevelt,
the individual, who is an issue at Cri-
cago, but the American principle OF

system founded on cheating and steal
ing, and which absolutely defes and
sets aside the popular will.
Everybody who has watched the
proceedings at Chicago has felt this
whether he wanted Roosevelt beaten
or not. We must have felt, if we are
good citizens and realize the danger
to liberty and to popular rights tina,
come from political corruption and
usurpation of power BY irresponsible
machines, that stop must be put to
this sort fthing, that it must be
stained out, and that, quite apart from
the political fortunes of Mr.. Roose-

power which has been lodged in such
hands must be either taken away or
so safeguarded that it cannot be
Used against the people.
That is the object which the direct
Presidential primary proposes, so far
as national contests are concerned.
and that movement will receive a
great and lasting impetus from the
shameless and cynical struggle that
has been going on at Chicago. The
standpatters and the reactionaries
have been receiving a great deal of
comfort recently from the compare
lively small vote cast at the Presiden-
tial primaries, and have been doing
their best to discredit a movement
that must necessarily in time tear
down their old system of political
teudal tenure, bulwarked and but
tressed with spells and graft and spe-
cial privileges, and force them and all
their retainers and allies into the
open. But the answer to their soph-
istry comes from Chicago, and the
American people will not forget the
lesson or the moral which it teaches.
Whatever the result may be to the
tontending claimants, good will come
cut of the civil drama in progress in
that city, and the people will all the
sooner come into their own through
il. We may have other national con-
ventions after this year, but Senator
Bourne can be safe at least in predict
ing that by 1916 there will be few
states which will not have a direct
Presidential primary law, and that no
national committee of any party here
after will dare to override the will of
the people legally and deliberately
exercised and expressed.
