RoosEvELT's IDEAS ON
CHURCH GOING

The late Theodore Roosevelt was a
faithful church attendant. Whether
at his country home or in the busy
press of presidential duties he made
it the practice of his life to attend
divine services. An excuse did not
keep this great American from Sunday
worship, it had to be reason of real
consequence.
These are his points on church 70
ing:
I'm this actual world, a churchless
community, a community where men
have abandoned and scoffed at or ig-
nored their religious needs, is a COM
munity on the rapid down grade.
Church work and church atten-
dance mean the cultivation of the
habit of feeling some responsibility
for others.
There are enough holidays for most
OF us. Sundays differ from other holi-
days in the fact that there are fifty
two of them every year. Therefore, on
Sunday go to church.
Yes, know all the excuses. l
know that one can worship the
Creator in grove OF trees, or by
running brook, or in a mans own
house just as we'll as In church. But
| also know, as a matter of cold fact,
that the average man does not thus
worship
He may not hear good sermon at
church. He will hear a sermon by a
good man who, with his good wife, is
engaged all the week in making hard
lives little easier.
He will listen to and take part in
reading some beautiful passages from
the Bible. And if he is not familiar
with the Bible, he has suffered loss.
He will take part in singing some
good hymns.
He will meet and nod or speak to
good, quite neighbors. He will come
away feeling little more charitably
toward all the world, even toward
those excessively foolish young men
who regard church going as a soft
performance.
Il advocate mans joing In church
work for the sake of showing his
faith by his works. Elk.

OFFICIAL PAPER INCOME COUNTY
ROADS or THE FUTURE

We see where DR.. Gray, president
OF the National Good Roads League
makes an interesting prediction, and
one which will be of interest to the
people Of McCone County. where bet
ter highways are future hope. The
doctor says, and he seems to know
what he. is talking about:
To-day the man who once held out
for twelve-foot road, just wide en-
ough for two vehicles to pass, is cry
ing the loudest for an eighteen-foot
road, and the old fellow who saw econ
omy in macadam road is now the
most enthusiastic for concrete roads.
But the day Is coming when there will
be both concrete and macadam roads,
with separate roads for trucks and
light vehicles. They will be eighteen
feet wide, too. The farmers will mark
ct their stun by motor-truck, or will
place it at the side Of the roads where
fast motor-truck freight lines will
pick it up and deliver it to any market
desired. These roads will be eventual
ly fighte by electricity, and night
travel will no longer be freighted with
dangers and dist astrious effects
A road engineer has figured that |
twenty billion dollars will be spent in
this country during the next decade |
for road construction. He doesn't at
tempt to state how it will be spent
for what kind of roads--but he knows
what all the rest of US know, that the
people of the United States are going
TO have the best roads in the world,
some day, for the best roads are the
most economical-and where there is
chance to save money there our
people will place their interest.
