PROPOSED FOR HIGHWAYS
The Time Has Come When Such a
Board Is Absolutely Neces.
sarv

Recent events foreshadow. In the
near future, the creation Of nation.
al commission Of experts to study
the whole subject Of good roads IN
this country, and to recommend the
most effective basis on which ;he
national government can take part
IN road building
Among the resolutions adopted by
the American Road Congress al Df-
troit was one requesting congress to
authorize the President of the Uni.
ted States ito appoint commission
from civil life with suifieien. az
preparation to make a thorough and
exhaustive report on and to recon-
mend a system Of federal aid"
Highway commissioners, engineers,
legislators and good roads men gen
orally are becoming convinced that
It would be unwise for the govern
ment to commit itself to any road
building plan on a large scale with
out first awaiting itself of the results
of careful study by such commits
sion Any plan to be effective must
involve large expenditure of money
and many of the aspects OF the sab
jeet are so technical that It cannot
properly be considered at irst by a
congressional committed The great
national irrigation projects, the sault
Sainte Marie canal the vast river
and harbor improvements of the ma
ton, and finally the Panama canal
all called for special expert COM
missions How much greater the
need if the nation is TO build roadsl
On the wisdom of its plan win de.
pend the usefulness of its roads.
National Highway System
Advocates of a national highway
system built and maintained entirely
by the government will regret that
the Detroit resolution limited the ac-
tivities Of the proposed commission
to securing federal aid" but all viii
approve Of another resolution that
was adopted at the same time. This
stated chat the American Road con-
gress favors the establishment of a
national road system, and favors the
construction by the states, counties,
and towns Of the lateral and connect
ing market highways"
That is exactly the plan which the
National Highways association is
working for. and one which in all
probability the proposed commission
will ultimately decide. Given nation
al trunk lines, the states cannot af-
ford to delay and will not delay inn
proving the inter-eounty roads that
connect with them; the counties can
not afford not to improve the inter
town roads that connect with the
state systems, and the town cannot
afford not to improve the local farm
and market roads that connect with
the county and state systems.
The cry of Federal Aid for Farm
Roads" sounds we'll, but federal aid
on a scale large enough to take care
of a million or more miles Of farm
roads is obviously out of the question
and if the farmers wait for results
from it most Of them will die in the
mud" A system Of $4,000 or 100000
miles OF national highways, similar
to that advocated by the National
Highway association, will bring good
roads to the farmers far more quick

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, a fraii,
motherly-looking woman, held the
wrapt attention Of q large audience
in the Light Guard armory, for two
hours. Monday night. Those who saw
and heard for the first time that wo-
man. known throughout the world ~

In England, and at whose word wom-
en- became law.breakers and destruc.

again while the armory was flllinG
up with men and women. Dressed In
q simple black gown, the little wo-
man at at the speakers table on the
platfo3ln and calmly returned the
gaze Q the spectators. At her lett
sat NM Clara b. Arthur, chairman
OF the meeting. and the Rev. Eugene
R. Shippen, who delivered the intro
ductory address. Tn eaudience that
listened patiently and attentively to
every, word that Mrs. Pankhurst had
to say. was composed Of men and

suffragists. 80 Encouraged by their
glove patter. the elderly man gave
two ''hurrahs." then his face reddep
ed and he sat back In his chair, con-
tenting himself with hand-clappiny
like the rest.
On the poorly lighted stage and
against that background OF horrible.
blurry red--the old red curtain tflat
has hung behind the stage since the
day the armory was built-it was
dimcult for the people In the audi
ence TO study the face Of the famous
militant leader.
In repose, Mrs. Pankhurst's" face
looked hard and marked by lines OF
rather than gentleness.
It was only after she began TO tell Ol
the struggle for equal suffrage that
ls going on In Britain, that radiant
smiles Illuminated her face, and the
harsh lines were erased. Her mag
netic personality was at once felt, and
to the American sympathixer It was
easy to conceive how this little grey
haired woman, with tho winsoma
smile and the gentle voice. could
urge hundreds of women on to deeds
that would test the courage Of q
knight Of old.
Mrs. Pankhurst possesses q won
