The deep undertone of this world is
sadness; a solemn bass occurring at
measured intervals. and heard through
all other tones. Ultimately, all the
strains of this worlds music resolve
themselves into that tone; and / believe
that, rightly felt the Cross, and tho
Cross alone, interprets the mournfm
mystery of lifc-the sorrow of the High.
est, the Lord of life-the result of error
and sin, but ultimately remedial, purify
ing and exalting.
The life of Christ and His death.
after all, are the only true solution OF
the mystery of human life; TO that, after
all. all the discords of this worlds wild
music must be attUncd at last, The deep,
deep conviction has never failed me in
the darkest moods, that Christ had the
key to the mysteries of Life and that
they are not insoluble; also that the
Spirit of the Cross is the condition which
will put anyone in possession of the
same key. 'From w. of W."

PROPOSED ROAD
 LAW PROGRESSIVE Under Plan of Alexander Measure Formation of
 Road Districts Easy.
COUNTY COURTS ACT
Proposed Law Gives County Courts Right to Create Districts Gn Petition of Majority of Values, Acreage
 or Owners.

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-Defects in act Nc. 3, complained of by good roads advocates, are remedied in bill ln- .troduced in the house this afternoon by Representative E. D. Alexander of Mississippi county. The bill bears the approval of the legislative committee of the Arkansas Good Roads and Drainage association, and the County Judges association as we'll as of the state highway department. 1t was thoroughly gone over by the joint committee Tuesday afternoon and was approved in all it's details.
 Under the provisions of the bill road districts may be created by the coun- ty court upon the submission of a pe- tition representing a majority in land values, acreage or number of land owners. These districts may, after commissioners and assessors have been appointed, issue bonds for an amount, exclusive of interest, not tc exceed 30 per cent of the assessed real property in the district. Tae bonds are limited to thirty years and may be made payable either ill yearly sums with interest or at maturity.
 IHe rate OI IHtGiSSl IS HASu GU pci
 cent The 3-mill tax fund collected from land in the district may supple
 ment the funds of the district.
 Commissioners of the district are
 required to receive sealed bids fer all
 work which exceeds $1 coo in cost, and
 any attempt to prevent competition in bidding is made contempt of court. Individual property owners may ap- peal from the decision of the county judge forming the district within 30 days, but the appeal affects the ap- Dellant's property only and does not delay the work of the district.
 Commissioners of the district are to receive $5 a day for the actual time the board is in session The board of assessors is empowered to assess damages to property in the right of way. subject to review by the county judge.
 Under the proposed law contractors may only be paid S5 per cent of work actually completed the remaining 15 per cent being held up until it is shown that sub-contractors, laborers land material companies have been fully satisfied. No special road inn provement district laws would be re- pealed by the bill, but conflicting gen. eral laws would be repealed as would conflicting sections of act No. 302.

JUDGE TOWNS BY
 TREATMENT 0F "
President Says Performance and Not Promise Is Real
 Test of Man.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Praise for men who fulfill their promises and admiration for unselfishness were voiced by President Wilson in an ad- dress here opening membership cam paign of the. District of Columbia Young Mems Christian association. The president said that the social mo- tive in the last analysis was the Chris ton motive, and that he could "al- most assess the character of com munity by the manner in which it supports or does not support the Y. M. c. A."
 "I have long ago learned to receive with suitability, 1 hope, the profes- sions of all sorts and conditions of men," he said, but after 1 have heard their professions 1 wait patiently to see their performance, and 1 do not pass judgment until that performance. If man wishes me to consider him loyal, for example, l must really trou- ble him to show his quality when he is put to the test; and if he can not show his quality when put to the test, 1 may not say anything the next time he comes around and professes his loyalty, but I will do lot of think ing. I wonder within my own head if he really thinks that am deceived, if he really thinks am as innocent as I look. y,sy
 That is the rigid and stern stand ard to which we hold each other, whether we realize it or not You know the slang expression, He is a bad actor You are not speaking of the stage. You mean he does not do what he says then it is all up so far as your trustfulness and admiration and willing dealings with him are concerned"
 Speaking Of the danger of men be- coming egotists, the president said that eff you make yourself the cen- ter of the universe. all your perspec- tive is skewed. There is only one moral center of the universe and that is God"
 "The only men who serve the world now,' the president concluded, "are young men and women who never grow old, men in whose system the steam goes strong all the time and who do not get so stiff that their whole machinery buckles up."
