The Old National Road GndianapOliS News

All kinds of conventions come to Indianapolis, but none should be more welcome than that scheduled for May z, and g, to commem crate the forefathers that built the old na- tional road. A distinguished com- pany is promised for this convention and it should be an important period of reminiscence and of re-dedication to the cause of good roads. Along the national road for many years tide of immigrants flowed. Conestoga wagons, OK teams, troops of men and women on horseback, and all the inn homes in the great west, rolled over this highway. It was better than an Indian trail, but there were long sec- tions of corduroy, and travel over it would not now be regarded as a pleasant journey; yet for it's time it served a great purpose Over'hills and through swamps it led to the new world in the west. Overhead from either side the boughs of the trees touched and in the summer time the traveller passed through a shady lane broken only here and there with patches of prairie or the clearings of the first settlers.
 In time in those regions where there was gravel or stone the road was macadamized; but it was not the ma- cadam of modern times. It was a road combined. Its like will never

RIVER OF DOUBT.v

It is regrettable- indeed that such an eminent gentleman as Colonel Roose- welt should be so grossly misunder- stood It is impossible for him to do anything or say anything out8of the ordinary without his verac1 being questioned. lie has been tafting g va cation in the wilds of Brazil, he has discovered river, been in it. paddled. swam and fished in it. and as soon as he emerged from the jungle he told about his find, about his boils and .how much he lost in weight. lit was a Jacksonian democrat or hard shell republican who doubted his word the antipathy might be understood, but for a geographer in London to say that the River of Doubt, which the colonel christened his discovery, is Tapajos river which empties into the Amazon, is impertinent to say the least. How does any one in London know what the colonel discovered? |? He SlIINply IIldu0 UIlcl SIdCOulcHl when he hit civilization to the effect that he discovered a river and told where it is. The London critic might as well doubt the existence of the colonel's boils as to say that he did not locate a new river.
 The United States will stand by the co1onel's discovery; he is a geogra pher himself, knows whereof he speaks and the average American will object to his being turned into a Dr. Cook What curiosity he will be when he takes the stump for the progressives in New York this fall. His platform will be new one and. no matter who will be chosen to run against him no one can meet him on the river question. ~..

He said he was an electrician, and held Rockefeller responsible for the deaths in the Colorado strike because of the reports he read in the news papers.
 It must be annoying to the occu pants of the Rockefeller house to see this parade in front of their home and not be able to put a stop to it. annoy the Rockefeller family and to block traffic on the street, people being attracted by the strange figures pacing up and down on the walk, each wear ing band of crepe on which are the words Thou shalt not kill.'' This is the most peculiar campaign New York has ever seen, but the police are now likely to put stop to it. The per- formance is so strange as to be in reality nuisance
 No organization can hope to gain ticipants are likely to cause the en- actment of legislation which will pro- vide such a punishment for similar offenses as to be so severe that those convicted under it will pay dearly for their actions. It is unfortunate that people who profess to be friendly to the cause of labor cannot find any better method of remedying industrial wrongs than to practice the acts of those who have been parading up and down in front of the Rockefeller house. They are proving conclusively that they are not fit to be trusted with any work which carries with it any responsibility.

'BOrrOys What Brains He Can. ,"

(Spokane Spokesman RevleW.)
 The wise man seeks the wisdom of others, but, if also strong, decides for himself and acts on his own judg- ment. The unwise man relies first and last on others, for even if he seeks wisdom in a multiple of coun- selors, he is the plaything of the lat est adviser and does what this man says. no matter if it 1atly contra diets what was first advised.
 There exists confusion of thought between taking counsel and relying on oneself. It appears to be thought that asking Information about ones course from those who have informa- tion that he has not is leaving the decision to them. But the two things are not the same. An intelligent or sensible man knows that his judgment may be biased by looking at matters only from his own point of view or from having insufficient data for forming judgment. But when he has consulted friends and increased his information, then, if strong and wise, he thinks for himself and steers his own course.
 This is the method of such men as Socrates and Lincoln, Napoleon, Roosevelt and Wilson. Socrates did not believe he was the wisest of the Greeks, but he questioned his fel- lows everlastingly until he became convinced perforce that he was less unwise than they. Lincoln discussed emancipation for years with. every 1 man who wished to urge it, but he | did not grant it until he himself had | persuaded Abraham Lincoln that it was right and wise. Napoleon held l a council of war with his field mar shals before every great battle and heard and weighed their every argu- ment, but the final decision was made l by himself. Roosevelt took his cabi- net freely into his counsel and gave weight to their judgment, but it was he himself who decided the course | of President Roosevelt. MT. Wilson, in his own picturesque phrase, "bor- rows all the brains he can," but the man has yet to be discovered who de termines his judgment as to what the i president should do.
 The wise man knows his own limi- tations and tries to enlarge himself through the wisdom and counsel of others. Then, if also strong, he takes
 the tiller himself and steers the ship. -s.

Vincent Astor, who married Miss Hell

Vincent Astor, who married Miss Hell en Huntington a few days ago. is but twenty-two years of age. His bride is only twenty. It is almost a, boy and girl marriage. How it sounds like old fashioned life, or chapter out of the Waverly novels! To peo- pie whose future is assured. like the Astors, such a. union at this early age involves no sacrifices and no heroisms. To the ordinary fellow and girl of twenty-two and twenty, in city life at least, it means renting an apart ment on some unfashionable or even sordid street. Many former social comradeships have to be given up. The bridegroom may have to drop his clubs, and the bride must be cleaning house while her former associates are playing bridge.-Bridgeport Farmer.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office.
The Old Open Street Car.
(NeW York TimeS.)

The past winter having been one of unusual severity, it had been hoped that the open surface cars of the old type had all been split up and burned for fuel. Yet with the coming of warmer weather cars of this type have reappeared in no small number, espe- cially on the Broadway line Like the men of Bunker Hill, these vener- able vehicles, with their transverse seats built like church pews and the running board on the off-side, have come down to us from a former gen. eration.
 We condemn as an exaggeration and out of place the statement that it is almost as hard to get aboard one of these cars as it is to climb Mount Me- Kinley. The ascent of the mountain is much more difficult, of course, yet it does require great physical exer- tion to get into one of these old cars To alight from them is in some re- srects like jumping off the Palisades. The sheer drop is not so great but the risk is considerable, especially for the aged or the obese. They are undoubt- adly the most inconvenient type of street cars ever devised.
 But the crowning outrage is the
 
 pels standing passengers to tread, re- cline, and wallow upon those who are seated. There is no room for stand ing passengers, yet passengers will get or board, and are permitted to get on beard, after all the seats are taken. They at once become an object of hatred and profanity to the seated passengers upon whose rights and per- sons they WantOnly trespass. Over crowding in this kind of surface car is so offensive and infuriating that we can readily believe the report that the deplorable increase among the clergy of the habit of carrying firearms is due to it. There are other types of the open car not open to these objec- ticns, and the contrast between these ancient structures and the stepless cars of tthe new torpedo-boat-de- stroyer type is really too great to be tolerated. The old open bucket and the old open car have no proper use in these days save as museum pieces.

So have those of Winsted, Southington and Farm ington. which held their elections Monday All of the straws point one way. They indicate a steady wind blowing away from anything that could be constructed as an indorse- ment of radical democratic policies It is natural that the republicans in view of recent election happenings look forward to the fall congressional elections with confidence and that the democrats shiver, when they think of the trouble about to overtake them.- AnsOnia Sentinel.

It is now about time the author ities in the small towns got busy and Reinforced the law regarding carrying lights upon vehicles. Those who go North into the night on the roads aout of the city realize that little or no attempt is made to comply with the new law. It is time something was done.

MINISTRIES
PLEASES AMERICUS

Coburn and his minstrel boys play
ed to packed houses at both matinee
and night performances yesterday. AS
usual, the audience was pleased with
the sweet singing, amused with the
funny jokes and comical antics of the
minstrel mokes; in fact delighted with
the entire performance.
Nick Glynn has won home in Amer
icus. He is the whole show and then
some. Every single movement he I'M
corks brings a smile, and every time
he opens his mouth he proyokes a
laugh. His song They Wanted Ne u
Take His Place" is a scream, and his
musical act is a headliner.
Gov. Bowen and Tom Post also pleas
ed the audience with their songs and
capers, Chas. Vermont, and his Whoa
Name" made a decided hit.
Lester Lucas, the smiling basso, and
Arthur Sampson helped complete the
bill of good singing. Harry Ford dem
.onstrated that he knows enough about
dancing to hold his job against any
competition.
All in all the program pleased, and
the Americas theatregoers will re-
member Coburn's show as a clean govd
mixture of harmony and fun.
