not only been given the opportunity,
but developed a greater desire to
travel to-day than ever before. More
over, he has seen good roads and
now appreciates the absolute necessi-
ty for them, and for their further ex-
tension in his community.
One of the most recent proofs of
why we should have better roads
comes from Ohio, where highway en-
thusiasts point to the fact that these
counties where roads have not been
improved have lost population, while
on the other hand, counties that have
modernized their roads have grown
in population and land values have
risen.
The U. S. Department of Agrioul-
ture has found that in Spottsylvania
County, Virginia, from an investment
$780, 900 to improve 40 miles of road
the results were most surprising.
Two years after completing this road
the railroad shipped from Fredericks-

personal contact with one another,
each gives the other an impetus in life
which minimizes selfishness and mag
nifes good will among men. And
thus it is that highways and transpor-
tation no longer separate farms and
neighbors, they connect them. A
road is a tie that binds and the longer
the road the more far-reaching is its
binding and brother-making power. "
The time has come when we must
have good roads whether we want
them or not. If we do not want them
we will be left far behind in the march
of progress. The dilapidated looking
farm with good road passing it will
soon be thing of the past. Such
farms will soon be found only in the
back hills, remote from good roads.

burg, the county seat, during a period
of twelve months, 1900 tons of pro-
ducts of the soil, hauled over the i'm
proved highway to that town. Be-
fore the Improvement had been made
the total was only $4,000 tons annual
ly-the result of a better highway to
the railroad.
Transportation means commerce;
commerce means better understand
ing among people, the more people
trade with one another, the more they
appreciate their interdependence up
on one another and interdependence
in the end breeds neighborhood and
closer fellowship. People living ten
miles apart without any means of
transportation connecting their re-
spective communities are strangers,
though they are citizens of the same
county, whereas, people living twen-
ty-five miles apart with their respect

portation are friends, and by their

When Bobby climbed tree in his
back yard to get glimpse of foreign
lands beyond the hill, he unconsci-
ously answered the call of the road
He wanted to travel. Later, the lure
of the road still pulling, he sailed
forth like a valiant knight Of old, rid
inc stick horse, made a gallant dash
of many leagues across the pasture,
took mental notes on the new land,
put the lash to his steed, and was
back at the kitchen door in time for
supper, travel worn, and hungry. He
tracked up the kitchen with his mud
dy boots and got spanked, and there
by learned his first lesson on the adj
vantages of travelling on good road.
Not every one of course is inter-
ested in Bobby and his earlier travels,
but we thought that perhaps you
might be interested, so we have used
in an Illustrative way, this incident
from a little boys life-an incident
which you can match in your own
life-to lure you on to reading the
answer to the question:
do we need good roads?'
1t should be unnecessary to ask
question like this in any community
in the United States to-day. We
should be so far ahead of that stage in
community building, that to ask such
a question would at once mark our
own position far back in the ranks of
citizenship. However that may be,
we must ask the question, because
bad roads are still with us and our
community life will not speed up UNI
til our community machinery is elm
bered up" Our roads are the belts
and pulleys to this machinery. They
transmit our social, educational and
agricultural power If these belts
and pulleys are "gummed up" they
pull slowly and irregularly and our
social, educational and agricultural
life is "gummed up" in like proper
ton. Their. is no escaping this truth.
We know that travel educates, but
too often we use the word travel in
the sense that we must get way off
yonder somewhere before the educa-
ton begins to "seep in," when as a
matter of fact the need for travel is
right here at home. We need closer
communication-need to know each
other better; and there is nothing in
this world which will more quickly
break down the barriers of isolation
and monotony of the farm than easy
and smooth travelling.
We do need good roads.
There is really no reason to argue
on this subject among ourselves.
This need is fact as hard and as
solid as a concrete road. But we
need to have impressed upon our
minds the intensity of this need for
better highways and to have this need
impressed so deeply that we will act
instead of talk, and thus put our COM
munity on the basis, as fnanciers
would say, of a going concern. If we
continue to talk without action, good
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1916-04-13

roads in our community will be as
indein and distant as the milky
way.
The history Of man is the record of
mans struggle against nature. Slow
" he has loOsed the bonds that have
held him at the mercy of his foes.
But we who are yet living on bad
roads are bound hand and foot while
the elements play about us. When
the rains come we are stuck fast in
the mud, blocked from the profits
which would be ours but for our own
stupidity.
If we are not going TO build modern
highways, get out of the mud and
connect up with the outside world on
hard-surface roads, we would display
wisdom by turning back to cave days
and "hold up, not for the winter,
but for eternity, so far as our COM
munity and life is concerned.
But we start out, you say, to hang
this discussion on a peg:
Do we need good goads?"
Yes, we do.
We need good roads if we are 90
ing to add interest to life in this COM
munity. To add interest, make the
most profit from Cur farms, and hold
our young people, we must keep in
line with other communities. This is
not mere talk, repeated so many
times that you may throw it aside as
amounting to nothing. It is import
ant enough to warrant sending corps
OF bell-ringers through the skies, if
we could, to wake up TO a realization
of the fact that our work on our par
ticular patch of the earth's surface, is
how to get the most out of life-social,
educational and agricultural. And
the only way to do that effectively is
to build good roads.
The evolution of highways paral-
lels the evolution of the whole
scheme of transportation. Early
methods OF transportation depended
upon ox-teams and horses. Better
vehicles demanded better roaGs and
the automobile has been the greatest
factor in compelling the permanent
paved highway. Both have made the
office, store and factory so accessible
to the rural home that people have
moved still farther away from the
congested districts of the city, necess-
itating still greater development of
the rural highway.
A hundred years have passed since
the National Pike demonstrate that a
better road is a stimulus to bstter
fences, better barns, better houses,
better people and better land values
along its course. Corresponding con-
ditions rule to-day, even though mod
ern traffic conditions have made it
necessary to rehabilitate the National
Pike in part by the use of concrete
pavement.
Statistics show that at least 20 per
cent of the automobiles manufactured
recently have found their way to the
country, hence the rural dweller has
