Not during her stay in Richmond
has Miss Nance O'Neil done better
work than she did last night. She
played the part as no other TRACE

Modjeska in her best days was no
better than O'Neil, who portrayed the
woman who for love was willing to
do more than lay down her life for
the man she loved, and who did die

Rep. Slemp Favors
Government Aid
for Post Roads

II congress creates a committee on
post roads another important move
will have been made towards the logi-
cal participation of the national gov
eminent in the highways progress of
the country. Such action is quite
probable in the special session now
in progress in the adoption of a reso-
luton introduced by Representative r.
L. Henry, Of Texas. who is chairman
Of the committee on rules.
1t will be remembered that follow
ing the first federal aid good roads
convention called by the A. A. A.
national good roads board. held in
Washington January. 1912. there fol-
lowed as the result Of the action of
the nationwide assem- blage the pass
ing in congress. put forward by Rep
resentative Henry, OF resolution
which created a joint committee of
the two branches to make inquiry into
the subject of federal aid in the con-
struction Of post roads. The commit
tee has not yet concluded its labors,
but II Ia known that It has accumu-
lated vast amount Of information
which will be available in reaching a
definite plan for federal roads work.
In the second federal aid gather
ing called by the A. A. A.. held in
March last. and again participated in
by general good roads bodies from all
over the country. and including the
national grange executive chairman,
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-05-04

the resolutions committee asked con-
gress to create standing roads COM
mittee, the matter having been advo-
Gated in an address prepared by Rep
resentative G. B. Slemp, of Virginia.
Once more Representative Henry has
taken the initiative in his introduce
ton OF a resolution providing that the
house create committee on post
roads. which would have the same
relation to the good roads proposition
as the rivers and harbors committee
has to waterways legislation.
In the past good roads measures
have been referred to various commit
tees, with the usual result Of second
airy consideration in the miscellaneous
work Of these committees. The sub
Ject Is now one of such commanding
interest that 1t demands a committee
which will give 1t first attention. In
the growing consideration of good
roads matters by congress there is an
unmistakab1e advance in the conten-
ton that the national government
should concern itself along broad lines
relating to the interstate phase rather
than any plan which would require
the nation to do work very properly
devolving upon the community. Pres
ident Wilson aptly expressed the logi-
cal thought when at the American
road congress she described roads prog
ress as threading the energies of a
nation together" and then comment
ed upon the fundamental Importance
that the United States should think in
big pieces should think ultimately as
a whole"
The principal arteries Of communi-
cation. and the ones properly first at

tracing federal notice. develop them
selves naturally, and in this connec-
ton a study of the map OF the United
States shows that a great majority OF
the large cities of the country are To-
Gated near the borders of their States
1t Is fair to presume that in each such
case nearly as much traffic will reach
a city from the adjoining State as from
it's own. In marketing products. send
ing out supplies and transporting in
dividuals State lines fail to serve any
beneficial purpose. The travel, wheth-
er commercial or pleasure, Is either
created or attracted by the larger
center of population, which is at once
the commercial. social, educational
and industrial center of its region.
What Is true of the greater cities 10
true of the lesser ones, the difference
only being in degree. AS these lesser
cities are usually located on the main
lines of travel, they are in themselves
centers of traffic OF their respective
regions. 1t is the traffic between
these lesser cities and that between
them and points adjacent which uses
the main road for part of its jour
ney that forms the major factor In the
usefulness of main highway. The
long distance trip Is also a factor but
a minor one in Importance.

HIILSON AND BRYAN
" CONFER ON POLICY

WASHINGTON, Nov. Lind will
communicate the new American policy
regarding Mexico to the representa-
tives of the powers now gathered at
Vera Cruz, according to a rumor cur
rent in Washington today.
1t is reported Lind is pessimistic
over the prospect of getting an early
announcement from Huerta as to the
result of the election. The presi-
dent is now waiting for this an
nouncement. but it has become OBJ
vious that dilatory tactics are being
pursued to force the United States
into an awkward position. 1t is prob
able the president will take decisive
action without regard to it. This.
it is expected. will be the recogni-
tion Of the belligerency of the con-
stitutionalists, which is the cardinal
feature of the new policy. That
President Wilson has succeeded In
