are realizing with increasing clear
ness the tremendous advantage Of
speaking for the church as a unit.
This Is becoming more and more I'M
portant because OF the joining OF the
forces of evil for political influence.
Personal pecuniary gain Is being
placed before the interests OF the
people; vice Is being sanctioned as q
means of material income, making our

argued that the common council had
no authority to make the appropria.

ted that they had no defense. Mr..
Lawson said he WAS willing to let the
question be settled by the court, de-
claring that he had contended all
along that the park and boulevard de-
partment had no right to the $3.50. 900
appropriated by the council.
The judges, after celebrating about
IS minutes. returned to court and an
nounced their decision, granting the
mandamus. They explained that the
prayer OF the petitioners was granted
OH the question OF procedure In the
matter of making the appropriation,
the point concerning the power OF the
city to raise money for transportation
facilities not having been raised. They
held that the charter did not give the
park and boulevard commission the
authority to spend money for trans.
portation facilities, and, therefore. the
common council exceeded It's rights
In voting funds to the department for
the purpose.
Speaking with The Times. after the
decision was given, Mr.. Lawson stated
that he advised the council against
making the appropriation to the park
and boulevard department, declaring
that he found nothing in the city
charter warranting the action.

oAnos Of Public Roads Boosting High
way Work.
It r. estimated by the office of public
roads, Of the department of agriculture
that about ~ per cent of the roads in
the United States are improved.
II 20. per cent Of the public highways
were improved. each. highway being
selected and improved with a view to
the proportionate trafac upon it. a high
degree Of efficiency In highway trans
portation would be reached.
It Is figured that millions Of dollars
would be saved annually in the trans
portation Of crops. the wear and tear
on horses and vehicles and in the mini
mixing Of the waste In truck farming.
Where roads are bad the farmers fire.
quently flnd It impossible to get their
products to the shipping points. and
thus %perishable products are wasted.
perceptibly increasing the cost Of Nv
ing.
In the Eve years preceding March,
1912. the Office of public roads had
built 215 object lesson roads. in all
about 800 miles of road fifteen feet
wide. and by expert advice aided in
the formulation of more than $50 mod
ell country road systems. resulting In
most instances in beneficial reforms.
It has also assisted twenty-six states in
efecting equitable state aid plans. The
secretary OF agriculture looks forward
to the coming year as promising better
results than at any time in the history
Of the movement for improved high
ways. +.

Oil For Country Roads.

A most interesting experiment 10 be
ing conducted In central Illinois near
Springfield. The state highway com
mission is making a test Of oil ON
country roads. While oil roads are nc
novelty in many parts Of the United
States. they are not known on the
heavy black soil Of central Illinois
The top soil Of the road is being mix
ed with an asphalt oil to the depth Of
six inches. In many parts Of the Suck
or State stone roads are out Of the
question. Without the material near al
hand the great prairie states cannot
expect 30 save stone pixies. AZ do some
Of the eastern states. Good roads must
b secured by drainage. special care
and possibly by the use Of oil. Thu
experiment will be watched with q
