the people already own the right OF
way for the 4 800 miles of the pas
Renger and freight thoroughfares
which they, propose 10 build All
that is lacking is TO put the surface
Of this right of way in such condI
ton that vehicles may get over the
road with the least resistance. This
done. the people are beginning to
see the gasoline engine will do the
1est-and presto! marvellous
change and quickened activities
within the state.
The point is being made with sue
cess that aside from the fact that
in this new transportation oppor-
tunity the people control the right
of way and that no land grants TO
corporations are. necessary, the
new road surface or track Is to
be paid for by those who operate
motor driven vehicles Much stTesA
is laid upon the fact that to the man
who still uses animal power in
hauling the new roads will cost him

passing that On Nov. s. 1888, the
nrst engine ever seen in the Mis-
slssippi valley made its first run
from Meredosia, on the bank of the
Illinois river, in Morgan county.
The run was eight miles. as far as
the roA went at that time, towards
Springfield So anxious were the
people to see the cars run that
they bad the locomotive shipped by
water from Pittsburgh. All the
horses and oxen of the community
were required to haul the huge ma
chine up the river bank Joseph
Field was the engineer in charge
and Governor Duncan and party
of friends made up the list of pas
sengers. 1t was a great day. The
road was completed to Springfield
at a cost of 100000 and following
ayperiod of financial difficulties was
finally sold to Nicholas IL. Ridgley
of Springfield, for $21 100.
Eight months were required to
build the first eight miles of track

Events of Earlier
Days Come Back as
Pageants Are Held

Centennial celebrations through
out the state of Illinois in the form
of patriotic gatherings, pageants
and exhibitions of historic state
documents during the past several
weeks. have brought out many half
forgotten but none the less inter-
esting events of earlier days.
The proposition to begin the sec
ond hundred years of Illinois his
tory with a 4,S00-miie system of
modern roads for a type of self-prO-
PEELED vehicle that was clearly be-
yond the widest dreams when the
commonwealth was founded, adds
interest to earlier attempts to de
yelop transportation.
1t is a fact worthy of note in
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-11-22

for a limited equipment and with
no chance for cars to pass except
at sidings, located miles apart. To-
day, 20 years later, eight miles On
18-foot track for an unlimited num-
Der of Observation-Disclosures per
hitting safe and easy passage OF 500
to 5000 vehicles a day at any point
on the road, may be built in two
months.
BY curious coincidence the 10th
anniversary of the transportation
event at Meredosia falls just three
DAYS after Nov. 5, next, the day on
which the voters of Illinois will
have an opportunity to vote their
approval OF a 4,S00-mile system of
highways that will be the equal il
not the superior of the railroad for
short haul traffic. q
AS pointed out by one ofrhe high
way officials in Springfield, in dis
cussing the changes that have TAX
en- place in transportation since
that memorable event at Meredosia.

Eumoring People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring a man. sounds like u
pleasant and comfortable thing, bat
when one links humorins with the
question of who makes the money. it
does not seem very flattering to the
tiumorer or the humoree. says il writer
In the Woman's Home Companion.
Aud what a iamentable sight is thai
of the hunoree, what deep inequality
1t implies and what an absence If any
real respect or understanding between
two people In whose lives humoring
is Il part of the daily routine. When
the one to he hulnorcd is a woman il
may mean that a man has been forced
into the craven part of doing anything
for the sake of peace. There are few
concessions some men Will not inuk.
to avoid Il domestic storm. Some I'M
fortunate men there are who even
give up vital friendships, legitimate
forms of recreation, and even their
w indiriduaiities in this unworthy
cause.
