the future of his government. The

that method of getting rid of his en-

The United States government will
be justified in strongly presenting rea-

GOOD ROADS IDEA
MOVEMENT PROPOSES 400 MILES
OF GOOD STATE ROADS.

The most elaborate good roads pro-
gram ever undertaken in this state is
now being pushed by the Connecticut
Good Roads association. just now,
the battle-ground is before the General
Assembly. The new movement. pro-
poses permanent pavements on the
trunk line highways of this state, COW
ering about 400 miles, to be built I'M
der a bond issue, the plan being that
the 100000 which shall come this
year, and the following years, from
the direct tax on autom obiles be de-
voted to paying the interest and Gre
ating a sinking fund on these bonds.
The plan contempIates perma-
nent north and south route, and also
an east and west route running
through the state.
Paved highway eighteen or twenty
feed wide is proposed, the type of
road, whether concrete macadam,
concrete with tar dressing, wood
block, or brick, to be settled later.
The purposes of this movement is 20
obtain in the first place a paved high
way eighteen or twenty feet wide
running from Portchester, N. Y
through Greenwich, Stamford, South
Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven
Saybrook, New London and Stoning-
ton, and a north and south road run
ming from New Haven through Wal
lingford, Meriden, Hartford and up
the Connecticut valley to the state
line on the north. Another east to
west highway is proposed running
from the state line near Danbury,
through Danbury, Waterbury, Thorn
aston, Tarryville, New Britain. Hart
ford, Manchester, Andover, Whitman
tic, Norwich down to New London
1t is conceded by all that a water
bound macadam road is absolutely
inadequate under heavy traffic;
as it necessitates frequent rebuilding.
A good permanent highway built
on the routes above outlined will
bring thousands of dollars a year into

this state and will mean an increase
of millions in the taxable value of
property. The increased value will ex-
tend back many miles from the road
itself, as automobiles are perfectly
willing to run fifteen or twenty miles
over an ordinary dirt road if the
hundred miles travelled to get to the
turmoil furnishes good running.
The Connecticut Good Roads as
ISOLATION was organized last August,
and is made up of Representatives of
city and town automobile clubs,
boards of trade, and chambers of
commerce all over the state. The
State Automobile association has a
membership of $500 and the greater
number of this membership are in
sympathy with the objects of the
Connecticut Good Roads association.

philosophers owe feel pain, but not
painIessness, wrote the greatest of
modern philosophers; 1--WE feel care,
but not the absence of care; fear, but
rot security. We feel the wish as
we feel hunger and thirst; but as soon
as it has been fulfilled it is like the
M outhfuI that has been taken, which
ceases to exist for our feeling the mo-
ment il is swal1owed.' In other
words, Schopenhauer mourned be-
cause he couldn't eat his cake, and
have lit, too. His literary style was
most attractive, and his works had a
profound influence. He was wo-
man-hater, blaming the fair sex for
the perpetuation of the farce of life.''

The first Occidental philosopher to
formulate a system of pessimistic
thought was Arthur. Schopenhauer,
who was born in Germany 125 years
ago to-day, and died in 1860. Schop-
enhauer, who now has hundreds of
thousands of followers in Europe and
Am erica, taught that this is the worst

was faithful to Charles the Second,
and for this was elected from his
charge by Cromwell. After his death
his eldest sons, Laurence and john
sailed for the New World, settling in
Virginia. John became a farmer on
an estate at Northern Neck, between

Johns son, Laurence, became the
father of Augustine Washington. who,
in turn. was the father of the Great
George.
One of the most enthusiastic of
Washington birthday celebrations will
be held to-day in San Juan, Porto
Rico, and will include the formal
opening of the third Insular Fair.
This big exhibition of Porto Rican
products will be held on new grounds,
given to the people of the colony by
the federal government. It. is pro-
posed to use the buildings for a per-

which Cuba and the islands of the
British West Indies will join. The
Porto Ricans have benefited largely
from the rule of the United States,
and are proportionately patriotic. The
production of fruits, sugar and coffee
have shown a steady growth every
year since the American occupation of
the island. The completion of the
Panama canal is expected to add to
Porto Rico's prosperity. Coaling
plants and repair stations will be es-
tablished at the various ports of the
island for the use of ships running be-
tween Europe and the "big ditch.''
