Aid for Good Roads.

While residents OF Washington have been
contributing to the fund for building six miles
OF road through Chopawamsic Swamp to provide
good highway between this city and Richmond
they have not given the support that was ex-
pected by the promoting the work
Completion of this sx-rne stretch will afford
Capital motorists an opportunity to drive south
under much more pleasant conditions and will
encourage many more visitors to tour through
this city.
The value of good roads has been strikingly
shown recently in the in which cities
have fought for designation the Lincoln High
way, and there is none who will deny that in
Vulnerable advantages accrue to a municipality
with roads attractive to the motorist
The motorist is known as a good spender
He wants the best and is willing to pay for it.
His passage through a city benefits many He
becomes advertisement for the city.
Washington is on the Lincoln Highway and
local business men appreciate the value of this
much they have had motion pictures made
for exhibition throughout the country to adver-
tise the fact
They likewise appreciate the value of good
road through Chopawamsic Swamp for It will
attract many of those tourists to the South who
now motor by way of what is known as the
northern route, through the Shenandoah Valley.
Therefore it is to be expected that contributions
to the fund for building the road will become
more liberal and increase in number.
Richmond already has contributed a large
sum and is raising more money, and the District
Automobile Club may look confidently to the
residents OF Washington for the support that is
expected.

That reminds me Of something Thur
low Weed once told me- said General
James. Weed. as you know. OF course,
was the one man who was responsible
for creating sentiment in the whig party
in ls4s which made the nomination OF
General Zachary Taylor for President
possible.
Weed said to me that after Taylor
was nominated II seemed for a time as
though the nomination had blanketed
the hopes OF the Whig party. For a few
weeks the nomination was received II not
with apathy at least with indifference.
Weed felt that something should be done
TO stimulate popular interest in Taylor,
and he had great faith in the capacity
of a good nickname for doing that He
It was who suggested that the Whig
and Ready The nickname took. and
Wings began TO be interested in the per
sonality Of Rough and Ready 1t was
Weed, too. who made popular an eX-
preston attributed TO General Taylor
in the Mexican war when he turned 70
Captain Bragg [afterward General Bragg
Of the Confederate army and said, a
little more grape, Captain Bragg. The
widespread quotation caused the public
10 ask what Taylor meant by grape and
the answer was ready. He meant grape
shot, and Captain Bragg, obeying the
command gave ~ Mexicans little more
grape and defeated them. In this way,
indifference and apathy were turned TO
excitement and enthusiasm, and these
two appellations greatly aided the Wings
in their successful campaign for General
Taylor's election

When Joseph C. Mcdonald was promi.
nently spoken Of as a highly available
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President, in 1884 some of his
Indiana friends began a search into the
early career of Mcdonald with intent TO
discover some feature Of that career
which might be turned TO account by
furnishing a taking nickname, so to
speak, which would be serviceable in
stimulating public interest In Senator
Mcdonald.
1t was learned that when he was in
his teens and before he began the study
of law in his home town in Indiana young
Mcdonald had learned the trade of sad
dler. At that time, this was a prosper
GUS business, since so many OF the citi-
zens OF Indiana travelled to and fro on
horseback.
The idea occurred to the friends that
II they called him old Saddlebags" that
name might appeal to farmers and to
men who worked with their hands.
The advent Of Grover Cleveland and
the very skillful politics which resulted
in his nomination for President ended the
attempt of Senator McDonald's friends to
secure for him the nomination for Presi-
dent.
1 was chatting with General Thomas
L. James, who was Postmaster-GeneraI
In President Garfieids Cabinet, at a
time when there seemed to be a fairly
good chance that Senator Mcdonald
might be the Democratic candidate for
President in 1884 ] told General James
that l had heard that Senator McDon-
aids friends had decided upon a sobri-
quet for him-they were going TO call
him "Old Saddlebags."

In proposed naval personnel legislation
now before Congress, new grades are
suggested in the medical corps and in the
pay corps, in order 10 carry the higher
rank Of rear admiral so that a distinc-
ton may be made between the rank Of
rear admiral and the rank Of captain.
II is suggested that medical officers Of
the rank OF rear admiral be known as
deputy surgeons general. instead OF nedl-
cal directors, and that rear sdmirals in
the pay corps shall be known as deputy
tors.
The Secretary Of the Navy regards this
change as consistent and in line with
the policy OF other navies. No such dis
tinction, however. seems contemplated for
naval constructors, civil engineers and
others. who may take the rank Of rear
admiral

M'VEYTOWN IS
BACKING WILLIAM
PENN PROJECT
Meeting of Highway Boosters
Arouses Strong Senti-
ment

McVeytown, Pa, March Inter
est in the meeting of the William
Penn Highway boosters in Harrisburg
on March 27 is increasing in this dis
trict daily and as the time for the
gathering draws near plans are being
made to send delegation of repre-
sentative citizens from this borough
to the session in the Capital City. A
meeting of the highway boosters in
this vicinity has already been held
mere and another meeting is sched-
uled. The borough council is ac-
quainting itself with the advantages
of having the town on the route and
petitions, which are being signed by
scores, are in circulation in the town
and the adjoining townships.
Recently there was some discus
sion of having the highway follow the
State road from Reedsville to Mill
Creek, through the Kishacoquillas
valley. This road would be reached
by going from Lewistown to Reeds
vile over a toll road, which at some
future time will be taken over by
the State. OF course, this route would
eliminate the Juniata Valley route
from Lewistown to Mill Creek and in
cidentally McVeytown would not find
place along the highway. The route
through McVeytown would follow the
old turnpike from PHILADELPHIA to
Pittsburgh and it is just because there
is a slight possibility of changing the
