Good Road In Iowa.

about well balanced political condi-
tons; one is as much needed as the
other.
Since the road supervisors at their
Rst annual meeting took the stand
they were not in favor Of paving coun-
try roads at the present at least, they
have been rather severely censured
by the daily press and told that they
are behind the times, trailing in the
dust That hard roads Of some kind
will be built throughout the country
some time cannot be questioned, and
the supervisors recognized that fact
when they said that they were not in
favor of loading the counties down
with road debts at the present time.
We are inclined to commend the SUI
pervisors for the stand they took, be-
cause there Is danger Of going too fast
with expensive methods of construc-
ton until the different kinds of roads
that are practicable for different To-
calities have been more fully tested,
says Farmer and Breeder. Mistakes
made in permanent road construction
are liable to be rather expensive.
Iowa has made rapid progress in
road improvement during the past two
years, and while no permanent roads
have been built the work of grading
and draining at least two principal
roads through each county and the
construction Of cement culverts and
bridges is something that will have to
be done everywhere before permanent
roads can possibly be built. Then, too,
in many sections at least, when our
roads are brought to a grade, are we'll
drained, and then properly cared for
with the road drag, they become very
passable indeed. We believe that it is
not a bad plan to use them for few
years in that condition and give the
drag a good chance to show what it
will do for them when used as fire.

lures for Highways and Con-
struction of Bridges.

"There has been an enormous in
crease in the total expenditures for
road building and bridge construction
marking the development of highway
work in the United States during the
past - months" said J. A. ROuntree,
secretary of the United States Good
Roads association.
"Statistics compiled and reports re-
ceived at the headquarters of the Unit
ed States Good Roads association show
that the expenditures for the building
of good roads and bridges for the year
1915 were $3.50, 100000, or an increase
of $50 per cent over the amount spent
for similar purposes in 1914. In ad-
dition, more than $27O00,0OO of local
funds were spent under state super
vision in 1915, bringing the total road
and bridge expenditures managed by
the states to $50, $685. This amount
Is greater than the total expenditures
for roads and bridges from all sources
in 1904"

ness of Portrait of Himself Execut-
ed by an American Painter.

Pope Benedict is known to have a
keen sense of humOr. 1t has lately
been expended upon an American resi-
dent in Rome who thinks himself a
portrait painter, says a Rome CORE
Spondent.
This gentleman, with the best inten-
lions, asked the pope for permission
to paint his portrait, which would
later grace the walls of the Vatican,
alongside of the masterpieces of the
universe.
The pope granted the request, but
stipulated that he should give only
one sitting, and that the portrait
should be finished by help OF photo
graphs.
The portrait was finished recently.
The artist found it so good that he
lOnged to have it shown first in Amer
lea, lest his fellow citizens should re-
prOach him for hiding such a work of
art in Italy, without giving them a
chance of admiring his genius. To this
the pope graciously agreed. But the
artist went further.
AS there are so many spurious por-
traits Of the pope, would his holiness
write a few lines to prove to skeptical
Americans that the artist had really
painted the masterpiece? The pope
promised few words in few days.
They arrived. To the painters aston
ishment-and chagrin-they proved to
be from the Gospel of st. Matthew,
chapter IA :27. They ran: TT is 1 ; be
not afraid"

Five great organizations of the
state Of Wisconsin will participate in
the drive inaugurated for War Saw
ings during the week Of February 3,
which will be known throughout
Wisconsin as "War Savings Week."
and during which every effort will be
made to secure not less than one mil
lion investors in Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps. 1t is roughly estimated
that not less than 10000 workers will
engage in this campaign, and that
every man, woman and child in every
village and hamlet will be personally
solicited for at least a 25 cent Thrift
stamp. 1t is claimed that this cam
paign will be the greatest educational
thrift movement ever inaugurated in
any state in the union and that once
again Wisconsin will have evidenced
its sincere loyalty to the government.

Intolerance.

The truth is, the notion that an in
tellectual recognition of certain dog
mas is the essential condition of saliva
ton lies at the bottom Of all intoler-
ance in matters Of religion. Under this
impression, men are too apt to forget
that the great end of Christianity is
love, and that charity is it's browning
virtue; they overlook the beautiful sig
nificance of the parable of the hereto
Samaritan and the orthodox Pharisee !;
and thus, by suffering theirispeculative
opinions of the next world to make
them uncharitable and cruel in this,
they are really the worse for them,
even admitting them to be true.-Whit-
tier.
