'S's'@ef FEDERAL
Aru' FOR ROADS
MIssoUsrs GOVERNOR AND SEN.
AToR BANkHEAD SPEAK AT
HIGHWAYS CONVENTION.

st. Louis, Nov. II Federal aid
for good road work was urged by
Governor Major of Missouri and
Senator Bankhead of Alabama at thu
opening session of the United States
Good Roads convention here today.
Senator Bankhead is president of the
association and spoke in response
to an address of welcome by Coy
ernor Major.
Governors of twenty-eigh states
were expected to attend the conven-
tion, but at the opening session Mr..
Major was the only governor present.
Governor Major told the delegates
that 1900 miles of good roads could
be built for the cost of one battle.
ship, and that the federal govern
ment had spent 100000 on road
work in the Philippines, $4,000, 900 in
Porto Rico, $4,000 in the Panama
Canal Zone, and $4,000 in the isle
of GUIANA total much greater
than federal expenditures on good
roads in continental United States.
"When the Panama canal is fin
ished,' he said, "the Mississippi val
ley will teem with commerce. We
will not be in a position to handle
our share Of the business unless our
highways are of the best"
Governor Major, with the work on
good roads days in August fresh in
mind, said that in the last six
months Missouri had built more good
roads than had any other state. and
that $1,500OOO had been spent in
two days last summer, and $4,000 900
within the year. Missouri has 1OO.-
BOO miles of public road, according
to the governor, and on these roads
more than $10OOO,OOO has been spent.
The annual cost of maintaining the
'oads in the state was placed at s4.-
100000.
Senator Bankhead urged that pres
ure for federal aid be brought on
congress, and said few senators
would refuse to present the appeals
I their own states for road appro-
riations.
Robert P. Johnson of New HamD-
hire attended the convention as the
representative of the governor cf
lat state. He brought with him a
'll of maps showing how automobile
'urists may travel safely and com
'rtably through the state over i'm
owed highways.

WEARER OF THE GRAY.
had superseded General Joseph Hook
er in the command only the day be-
fore. So it came that on that 10th of
June morning fifty years ago the first
order of the new Union leader was one
urging the swiftest possible pursuit
of the Army of Northern Virginia,
flushed with its recent successes at
Bull Run, Fredericksburg and Chan
cellorsville and now in the north in
vad1ng a Union state. The Federal
troops were eager to do battle for the
first time on their own soil. Their
progress from their starting points at
Harpers Ferry and Frederick was re-
tarded somewhat, however, because Of
wary maneuvering necessary to the
keeping Of barrier Of bayonets be-
tween the gray invading enemy and
the Washington capitol dome in the
near distance
1t Is hard for the man who has never
''smelled powder to realize the pecul-
lar and the full significance Of this
mighty reunion. Can we who have
had no share in the terrific battle un-
derstand the complex feelings of the
griZZled veteran who clasps the hand
Of the very man who raised his saber
to deal him a deathblow? Think Of
linking arms with the particular man
who spilled your blood and feeling
kind toward him and fraternizing
with the one time demon zouave who
bayoneted you so you were left well
tering in your gore and thought he had
served you quite right!
A Historic Rallying Ground.
Yet these are the very things that
make Gettysburg again the rallying
ground of the followers Of Meade.
Sickles and Hancock and Lee, Long
street and Pickett, as we'll as of the
other thousands Of brave veterans who
took no part in the battle there, but
gave their need of blood and service
to the cause they loved during four
years of bitter strife.
Facts and figures are not yet avail
able as to the exact number Of veter-
ans taking part in the celebration, but
the number is sure to be we'll in excess
of 10000 and may even pass the co.
600 mark. These and the thousands
of sightseers make q host far greater
even than that of the two mighty ar
mics that battled there.
And what a difference between the
Gettysburg of 1913 and the Gettysburg

battles in martial history-to us by all
odds the greatest.

enough to make a division in those
mighty days of long ago. 5000 men
who wore the gray and a scant thou

been found who are able to revisit the
scene of their former glories. The
never halting. remorseless whirligig Of
time has revolved for five decades Of
ever broadening amity over historic
Gettysburg and over those who par
dcipated in the great struggle there,
but it has left few to tell at first hand
the heroic incidents of the struggle.
Of these valiant veterans some are
but sixty-fve years Of age, and the
celebrated battle was fought half
century ago: Some are men near the
hundred year mark, for they were of
middle age when they followed the
drumbeat Of 1863 Some are bent

some have to be wheeled about in in
valid chairs.
