LETTERS SHOW UP
 EARLY CHARACTER
Rooseyelt's Birthday Will Be Celebrated Tomorrow

New York, Oct. 27.-Three letters in the handwriting of Theodore Roosevelt, presented recently to the Roosevelt light on the early character of the fu- ture president, whose birthday will be celebrated tomorrow throughout the country.
 The great Americans modesty as a young man, verging nearly on timidity, IS disclosed in a note accepting the of- fer of a trusteeship of the New York Infant asylum. The letter was written to pr. Henry D. Nicoll, then head of the asylum, in 1881, the year when Roosevelt, then 23 years old, took his seat in the state assembly, His absolute inexperience," Roose- welt wrote, would prevent his 'being of much use," but with determina- ton also evidenced in another letter to pr. Nicoll, he promised to 'try my best.''
 Ten months later, in 1882, he wrote pr. Nicoll again, expressing pleasure in accepting the position as trustee, but adding:
 T only fear that will by no means come up to your expectations. But I shall do my best.''
 Roosevelt's early love for outdoor life, l characteristic which had much to do with the molding of his later life, and his admiration for picturesque charac- ters in frontier history, come to the front in the third letter, written in 1890 l to Richard Watson Glider editor of Century magazine.
 l The letter is in a nervous, nasty script and was written from Washing ton, where Roosevelt was holding his
 first federal office, that of civil service
 commissioner. I missioner.
 l In it he appealed to MT. Glider to
 have biography or sketch of Kit Car
 sons life written and pointed out that l Carson and his comrades were linen of real mark and their work 'of ut
 most consequence and should not be al-
 lowed to be forgotten''-the same ap- l peal now being sent out broadcast by
 the Roosevelt Memorial association for | contributions to perpetuate the memory of Theodore Roosevelt.
 He suggested that Mr. Glider obtain
 an article on civil service reform from
 Cabot Lodge" who, he said, was "a man of note and a rising one in his
 party''
 At that time Senator Lodge was z representative in congress. At Roose ,velt's suggestion the articles were writ. ten by MT. Lodge in the magazine dur
 ing that and the following year. In 1890, Roosevelt was prolific
 writer of stories of hunting and of wilt
 animal life and he concluded his. letter in the spirit of the literary freelance keen to sell his stories 1T will buckle down to the, ;nrs' hunting articles for bear, moose. pan , ther, etc., and I will bring in th Turk story,' he wrote. and added tn suggestion, My bear scrape would,
 think, make 9 good picture, if yo' thought it worth while; also the deatl of the mountain bison, and of the bul
 moose.'
 The two Nicoll letters were presente to the Roosevelt Memorial Association
 by Mrs Henry D. Nicoll and the Glide
 letter by the publishers of. Centur
 Magazine.

FACTORS IN PLANNING ROAD
Location, Construction and Mainte-
nance Must Be Taken Into
Serious Consideration.

The three principal divisions Of ac-
tual road making are location, con-
structlon and maintenance. In plan
ming a road it Is necessary that we
take into consideration all three Of
these steps, since proper location af-
fects the cost Of construction and
may materially reduce cost of main
tenance.
Some Of the things to be considered
in locating a road are easy grades
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number of farms
to be served for a given length Of
road. Whenever possible to avoid it,
good location should not be rejected
merely because certain roadway has
been in use for some time.

ROADS
FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
President Harding Insists That States
\ and Communities Keep Roads
In Repair. 1--WE

4 President Harding has touched up
on q subject which 1t Is to be hoped
he win develop in his communications
to congress, and that is the subject OF
federal participation in the building
OF good roads. The government Is
committed to the policy Of co-operat-
ing with the states in road construc-
ton, and there is no disposition to
depart from it, but the President Is
emphatic in his insistence that the
states and communities shall assume
the responsibility Of keeping their
roads in repair, which Is only just
and fair proposition, says Washington
Post. If the government Is to pay
out millions Of the taxpayers money
to help pay for the construction OF
roads, only to see within few years
these highways deteriorate into dis
use and decay, that money is wasted.
The value of good roads is now gen.
orally recognized and the larger and
more progressive states have proved
that they are good investments. I'M
proved highways mean not only good
automobile roads, they mean cheaper
and better food, greater values in the
land, better opportunities for the
rural population. And they also pay
good dividends in the huge sums col
lected in license fees for motor We
hicles, enough in most instances to
pay the cost Of repairs and improve
ments.
The policy of the government CO.
operating with the states in the cost
Of road building has been great In
centive in the construction of better
highways and there Is no doubt that
many thousands Of miles Of roads have
been built under this plan, which
otherwise would not have been under
taken. It should and doubtless will
be continued, but there should be an
expressed guarantee that roads built
under this cooperative plan are to be
maintained and kept in good repair.
This preeminently is the duty Of the
