Old Timss at the Capital.

In recalling the lively and pictur-
esque incidents which the old timers
enjoyed In Washington one Isl moved
almost to tears over the commonplace
nature Of his own times. John Adams
used to bathe in the Potomac every
morning at daylight because he Ind no
bathtub in the White House. and no
oneeyer pulled a camera on him. ?Presi-
dent Taylor used to walk about the
town and stop and chat with every one
he met. like a policeman. A reception
in the White House in these days is
relieved of monotony only by the great
crush Of guests. who trample the
clothes OF one another'si backs. Anoth-
er president set up in the east room a
COO pound cheese and invited the mul-
titude to come in and help itself. which
the multitude proceeded to do.

GOOD ROADS

The Importance of good roads to
,ized in the last few years. In fact,
il is claimed by many that good roads
have only become appreciated since
the advent of the automobile, and
largely responsible for this agitation
which is undisputed throughout the
country in favor of improved high
ways.
/ Be this it may. there is no ques-
tion as to The Importance OF good
roads from a commercial or other
viewpoint. The remarkable showing
of these last few years in all parts
OF the country in the building. i'm
provement and maintenance of roads
is prima facie evidence of the i'm
,portance OF the subject.
The fact that the business men
respective of states. are taking a
vital interest through their CONNER
col bodies in bettering roads lead
ing into the cities is another evil
dence of not only the Importance but
the real necessity OF good roads for
the proper development and prog
ress of both the rural districts and
the cities.
To have good roads has become
so important a question that nearly
all of the states have passed con
stitutional amendments allowing
their counties to vote bonds for the
building of roads. Many states have
voted state bonds for this purpose.
Roads constitute the primitive
mode Of transportation. 1t is by
this method that the principal
amount of interchange of goods and
farm products and intercourse be-
tween city and country is to-day car
ried on, and this method will con-
tinue in first place forever, even
with the development of steam and
electric service OF the highest point
Of efficiency
Because this is true. the awaken
ing of the country to the necessity
OF improving roads is not unreason-
able. The retailer has realized that
practical impossibility of roads du-
ring the winter months is the cause
of the great falling off OF his sales
during that period. In like manner
the condition OF the roads have an
effect upon prices. impossible roads
soar because the demand is beyond
the immediate supply. When the
roads become passable again these
products are rushed to the market in
such quantities in the effort to sell in
the high market that the supply far
exceeds the demand and consequently
prices seek low level Both these
conditions do not tend to make good
business.
With improved roads such condi-
tions are minimized, for in nearly
any sort of weather the farmer can
reach the city without great incon-
venience. He can haul more either
In or out Of the market, therefore, |
his transportation cost is lessened.
With improved roads the business
channels are kept more evenly filled |
with commodities throughou. all sea
sons of the year than where the
roads are not improved
