far on the construction Of the Panama
canal-fOr our road Improvements
throughout the country. Mr.. Davis
contention is that good roads, roads
that run for thousands of miles
through state after state, are, proper
ly, not the responsibility Of the state,
but of the nation. He would have the
federal government build system of
national roads joining the West with
the East, the North and South, connect
ing every part of the country, as is
the case with the national highways
of Europe, and, as history shows, such
as was the essential equipment OF ev-
cry first-clasS power of the past. How
would such an enormous construction
be paid for and kept up? suppose"
asks this eminent engineer, "the gov
ernment built 100000 miles of prop
erly planned roads, and at the same
time purchased, say, 300 feet of land
on either side. This land would so
continually increase in value, and in
demand for leasing on long rental, that
the cost of the road and the land pur-
chase would soon be paid. A rental
rate of $685. per acre would pay the
interest on the cost of construction.
But much would rent at vastly higher
rates, in cities and towns, high enough
to give the nation an income equal to
its total annual experimentation
these national highways alone! "

SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS
We Will Soon See Necessity for Sep.
arate Systems for Freight and
Passenger Traffic.

President Rowe Of the American Au-
tOmoblle association says that in ten
years the United States will be cOY-
cred with systems of national roads.
By that time he says we will begin to
see the necessity for separate systems
for freight and passenger traffic. Pres
ent highways will be greatly mulG-
Piled and largely increased in width.
The quality will be improved as the
country begins to learn the art OF
road building. Good roads he be.
lieves, are the greatest practical step
toward national preparedness.

WHEN THE WAR is OVER.
Editor Times

Editor Times:
When the war is over there will be
a general readjustmeut OF things pOlit-
ical and religious the world over, thus
we should begin now 10 get ready for
the work. As Christians interLation-
ally we stand condemned as the great
est of Sinners. Not having intention
ally sinned, but ignOrantly we have
failed to understand Christs mission
upon earth to the end of establishing
peace. Having been overawed by the
marvellous material development OF
the Nineteenth Century. supplemented
By strange and unheard OF discover
les in the intellectual world we have
been confOunded and thereby driven
away from God and the teaching OF
Jesus Christ; thus the renaissance of
the Christian religion is the hope OF
mankind. else we are to remain only
a high type of barbarians.
Fortunately for mankind the basic
principles of the religion of Jesus
Christ have not been disprOven, but
to the contrary have by scientific in
yestigation been rediscOyered and
proven to be wholly within the prov.
ince of natural law. Happy indeed
comes the statement from Science to
mankind, tO-wit: the clarion voice that
rang out amid the hilltops of Pales-
tine nineteen hundred and seventeen
years ago, wherein Jesus our elder
brother, spake as never man spake
before, in testimony of our spiritual
Father, the Light that Lighteth Every
Man That Cometh Into the World. The
truth and verify Of the law of eternal
life as taught by Jesus the Christ
comes to us today with the two fold
witness of the experience of the Holy
Spirit and the scientific demonstra-
ton of modern psychology
Today we may grasp the strange
doctrine of three in one as taught by
Jesus with understanding and avidity,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, all
kithin the province of known law.
Ye must be born again is fact within
the province of natural law, else peace
upon earth is a myth and a thing only
for the qualification of foolish imagi-
nation.
Glory to God in the highest, Peace
on Earth and good will to man, is the
definite purpose of the Christian reli-
gion by the establishment of the King
dom of God in the minds and immort-
al souls Of men.
There are one hundred and fifty
religious seCts within the United
States. each and all would teach the
same doctrine had they cOmprehen-
sion and understanding of the doc,
trines of Jesus Christ. When these
several sects know the truth as
taught by Jesus, war will be thing
of the past.
Ultimately it is my intention to
establish a theological school at Har,
rison, Arkansas, where men will be
taught experimentally the full and
complete Gospel of Jesus Christ, dem
onstrating by Faith in God all the real
phenomena of the Christian religion.
If the weak things of this world
were once chosen to confound the
mighty, may not history repeat itself?

Thanks to the puShful, pervasive

has "got a move on" at last. There is
everywhere the cry for roads, for more
roads and for better roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination Of these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president of
the National Highways Association,
Charles Henry Davis, G. f., in a re-
cent paper, stated that we spent last

1t is probable that you can improve

supersGtious reason never battle in the
lake. Americans are not given to that
feeling and do so with. impunity.
Among the early residents there
was some dispute as to how Wilkes
came to name the lake, American. The
reason appears obvious, but some re-
counted the fact that DIR. j. p. Rich
mond, missionary in the section, de
livered the Fourth of July grafton, and
he and his wife were with Captain
Wilkes when he named the lake. Mrs.
Richmonds first name was America
and some have contcndcd the captain
gaIlautIy applied it,
Anyhow, it became American Lake
and American Prairie.
