people of highest civilization and there is no advancement in production and exchange until there are highways to facilitate the transportation involved. We shall notably enhance the advant- ages of American production when we add to the convenience of transporta- ton through the construction of high ways suited to the use of modern motor vehicles. It is the one agency of put ting every community in the republic on the map of commercial relation ship
 Warren c. Harding.
 "The arguments for good roads need no reiteration. What is needed is or ganization to secure them. Much of this must depend upon purely local effort and it is by the creation of or ganization to build up such activities that our country makes its best pro- gress.
 Herbert Hoover.
 seThe good roads movement meets with my warmest approval. nave advocated good roads from the begin ming of my public career. The i'm provement of the public highways will undoubtedly be of great economic value as well as clear up the congestion which now exists on other transporta- ton facilities making distribution of the nations commodities easier and cheaper. We have had a great object lesson of the value of good roads in the paved highway of my own state of California. They have been a tremen- dous factor in it's development"
 Hiram Johnson.
 ''The failure of the railroads TO keep pace with the growth of the country has developed a transportation problem which seriously menaces our economic development and prosperity. It will be many years before the railroads can be brought up to the required stan dard Meanwhile, our best chance of immediate relief is great systems of state highways so laid out and con structed as to supply through the auto mobile and motor truck the additional transportation facilities the country inperatively needs. I strongly favor the construction of good roads every where through both state and national aid After we build them we must

maintain them by an intelligent sys- tenn of superintendence.
 William G. McAdoo. "The economic welfare of the coun- try is dependent upon the adequacy and efficiency of the national system of transportation and distribution. 1t is so essential that every possible ia cility must be provided to encourage producers of food commodities and merchandise to increase production. The improvement and use of the pub lie highways in addition to airways, railways and waterways as avenues or conveyance is vital to the progress and prosperity of the people"
 A. Mitchell Palmer. Good roads mean greatly lessened transportation costs. They increase the value of the farms. They make consolidated rural schools possible. With good roads life becomes easy and agreeable in the country and the flow of our young men and women from the country to the city is checked"
 Frank o. Lowden.
 "An adequate good roads system is the commercial Iiaison which makes for the proper ordination of the require ments of producer, manufactures and consumer The need for such a sys- tenn was strikingly demonstrated dur ing the war, and it is as great now as it ever was. Good roads mean better and more productive farms, bringing remote rural sections into close touch with the markets. By providing some thing which makes possible the devel- opnent of farms we perform a service of inestimable value to the country as

the state. But we need a better manned field and more cooperation from the Christian public. We need an aggres- sive evangelism that should include teaching, singing and preaching; and personal work of propaganda done by consecrated men and women and kin dred spirits of our own blood and tongue This, I think, is the solution
 of the whole Mexican problem. And

The following are the expressions of the presidential candidates for the need of good roads in this country:
 The time has come for the syste- matic development of national high ways and the conclusion of peace gives an opportunity to celebrate the end ing of the greatest of world wars by the building of memorial peace way, reaching into every state and forming commercial bond Of unit between the commonwealths of the nation. It would greatly relieve the railroads by furnishing a roadway for both pas senger and freight traffic"
 William J. Bryan
 The establishment and maintenance of a good roads system throughout the country is as essential to the life of the nation as proper circulation of the glood is essential to the life of the in dividual. With a perfect system open highway there can be no stagnation of transportation at any time Normal needs properly met will prevent emergencies"

In the wilderness of Phoenix and other cities and villages of Arizona, there are thousands upon thousands of MeNicans trying in their own way to by those who care and know better. At the head of all the pathfinders is the church of Jesus Christ. The crag- gy ground will be evident after we take a look and see the people.
 The field of our church in Arizona includes Spanish- Americans, Mex Americans and MeXicans. These people are not alike, as many think, although both come from the same stock. The former are, either by birth or assimi lation, citizens of this country, with the American spirit. but the latter are old Mexicans, with the mystic spirit of Old Spain
 In this article desire to call the readers attention especially toward newcomers, and the opportunities that we have here in Arizona to give the the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 This frugal, hardy and, at times, re- rocious people, that come into the United States looking for refuge and bread, form an immense mass of the mobile population of our state. Each train proceeding out from Mexico brings in carloads of this human freight, They come out because they are tired of the conditions in Mexico. After long and perilous journey across the wilderness of hatred of fratricidal war which lies beyond the bordering line, they have come into the wilderness of mis- understandings in the land of promise.
 Here they feel free to move to and fro, like the waves by the shore. have watched them quite often as they go up an down, shifting and drifting, along the borderland. You will fino them way up on the tops of the hills. digging for copper and gold: or down in the plains, smelting the ore; on the Gna banks, blowing the fields, or talk ing care of the stocks; and on the streets of our cities and villages, learn ing our customs.
 But we started out to consider this people from the religious point of view did we not? Let us see what we find on this brambled ground. The religious people of Mexico are also the well-to- do people of that country. The great

majority of them contented themselves with eating, working and sleeping. or course, you must not call Mexico bar barous. or pagan. No, sir. They like to be called Christians; Roman Cath olics and few Protestants at that So. you see, dear reader, they come from a Roman Catholic environment, but most of them are indifferent, gloomy and ignorant, in their attitude toward religion. Something else is up permost in their minds as they cross the line. They are ilIumined by a strong hope of freedom in this country. Yet they are slow to accept the liberal principles of our faith because their ancestors had and artificial thinking power which did their thinking for them to such an extent that they can hardly think for themselves now when it comes to personal decision at the crossroads This attitude is well de- picted in the following verse taken from one of their popular frontier bal lads:
 Soy como el ave que va de paso.
 Sin rumbo fijo nj direction;
 Busco el Oriente y halo el Ocaso,
 Busco la Dicha halo el Dolor"
 "I am like a bird that passes by, With neither bound nor direction;
 Looking for East the West find I, Seeking Happiness [ find Derision."
 They sing it, over and over again, at the station, on the train, in their work, and elsewhere The accompa- niment of a dusty guitar gives to it a certain air of sadness, which by con stant repetition becomes melanchoHc.
 Now what do we find here?
 By these simple words they reveal unto us their prejudices and lack or consciousness of something higher than the material pleasures of life. I find no difference between the relt- gious man and the love hunter when they both sing it to the tune of the same guitar. Their whim sical attitude clearly shows us that they indeed ig- nore the real source of happiness. The worst of all is that some of them even return to the old country. after several weeks, months, or, perhaps years or wandering up here without having heard the preaching or truth through personality, for there was on such a thing in the wilderness where they were. For, under the existing circum stances, only those can hear who learn to say, Hello, MT. Shakespeare" and those who prefer our bread and butter to their traditional "tortillas' and "chile con carne." These are those who like to stay here for ever, or at least, long enough to be reached by some man of God who feeds them with the Bread of Life. But real friends, who may take pains to win their con fidence and clear out misunderstood ings are very few. and the situation I, for one, am willing to do my part in the big enterprise: and have been, in fact, trying my very best to instill the American ideals of Christianity in these peoples heart. And so are others. in our own city and throughout
