THE ROAD TO

(trom TIT Clnclnnau commercial Tr1buneD
ROME extends the supple, handsome fingers Of her marvellous roads
and are 9d into civilization regions where barbarians still drank from
the skulls OF their enemies.
Good roads are the master servants OF democracy.
Feuds tribal differences and the suspicion of the stranger within the
gates. dissolve under the spell Of good roads. Good roads are. the sinews
of commerce.
A good road is a monument of its builder.
A mile of good road is a better gift than a mile of golden statutes.
The road builder is the phlanthropist par excellence. He helps peo-
pie to help themselves. He paves the way to church, market and city. He
pulls the feet Of neighboriness ut of the swamp OF sdfshness and pro-
vdes them with Mercurial sandals. A mile of good road is a n impersh-
able gift to the future.
The tendency of the time is towards monuments that breathe. Me-
MORALS ara taking the vital form of coffee houses. social settlements, hos
pitfalls, asyums. schools and colleges.
But a mile of perfect highway bestowed upon the centuries to come,
constitutes a fundamentally constructive influence certain to gather cumu-
latve force as the years sweep on.
The Lincoln Highway, Americas coasttocoast thoroughfare, greatest
of all the good roads projects the world has " felt girdling II, represents
more than a mere highway. 1t is IN instrument designed to sew up the
remaining ragged edges of American sectonalsm. 1t is paving the way
to the more perfect civilization of tomorrow.
The Lincoln Highway association, with the dual object of extending
the stmu alton of cooperative good roads effort and of impartfng furh-
er significance to the monumental memorial project has set aside 1000
miles for dedication as unit memorials to men, women and organizations.
This portion of the highway is In the west, where its prolonged mileage in
sprawlng, spaney populated states renders the completion and perfec-
ton Of the highway difficult
To tax these states for the full cost would be impossible and unfair
The enlist nent of outside help, based upon a plan to construct memorial
miles, accordingly suggested itself to the officials of the association.
A sub jcrpdon of $4,000 Establishes a memorial mile Every such
mile will be marked with an appropriate and enduring tablet now being
designed by the American Institute of Architects, a body which comprises
the most distinguished architectural minds in America. Already the
unique plan is laying hold of the interest and imagination of public
spirited citizens.
To have added the link of a perfect mile to this wonderchain of the
world, clothes the act of the phlanthrapist with all the color and tang
of romance. There is a yirne poetry, a big epic swing to this unparal-
leed highway project
Men and women of vision and imagination, who love the useful garb-
ed in the beautiful, and who above all, thrill to the thought of helping
smooth the cleaning rbboned road for generations and centuries to come,
welcome announcement of the dedication of memorial miles.

THE NEW GOVERNORS.

ONE OF the events Of the month is the Inauguration Off governors
in most of the states. 1t is commonly an occasion of some ceremony. Our
democratic republic theoretically has little use for forms and ceremonies
and symbols. Practically the American people like a splurge and demon
strauon. .aost of the lew governors go in surrounds with much gold
lace, band music, and a general environment of tail coats and high hats.
One OF the most notable aspects of this office is the frequency with
which 1t changes. Many states keep senators and representatives at
Washington year after year. Joe Cannon, Champ Clark and Cabot Lodge
have long been household words, But governors live amid the fierce
heat Of constant change.
Looking through a list OF governors dated but three years ago, the
editor was surprised to find but seven out of the 48 who were the same
at that caller period. The other Al had given way to more skilful cam
paignng, better ability OF smoother political arts.
much more intense than for that OF a congressman. The congressman
must absent himself from business interests. He must remain years at
Washington If he wishes 10 climb beyond the role of a spectator. A
governor H. the undisputed sachem of the political tribes at home. A rep
resentative drops back into private life after his term expires, and only
his intimates think to call him excongressman.
A governor of bp state is a governor until he dies and the halo of
past greatness never quite fades out The governoship is a prize that
temptS many men of brains and genius. once the prize is acquired,
the winner is soon pushed out by the climbing ambitions OF other men.
The sentiment Of the political community is that the possession of the Of
fee should rotate quickly
