GOOD ROADS COMING. THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Widespread Discussion Tins Shown the Pressing Need of Highway Improvemeet?Men From All Walks of Lif? Have Enlisted In the Cause. Thero is no doubt in the minds ol those 'who have studied the signs of the times that an era of road improve ment has dawned on this country. continued agitation has awakened the people to the necessity of action. The Cedar Rapids Gazette tells the story of progress in a conversation between an old editor and a farmer. "At last," said the old editor, who has been in the harness for nearly 40 years, "I see signs which indicate the certain approach of an era of good road building, and I look upon it as onb of ^ the best signs of the times." \ "I infer that you think it high time \ for such an era," remarked a farmer \ subscriber who had dropped in for a litV tie financial transaction. i"I surely do. In fact, I can't find ev^en the shadow of an excuse for any morte delay in its journey our way. I only ^wcu?dcr why, when advances are being made in so many other respects, some of w'jhich are of little importance compared with the roads over which many millions must pass each year, that the day of practical .planning for better roads did not begin several decades ago." "May I ask what it is that gives you encouragement that there i^ approach' ing a revolution in the matter of roads?" ' asked the farmer, adding that he was "aware that good roads mean n^ore to me and my brother farmers than to any other class," and that he was anxious to see the work go on. ^ "Agitation, sir, agitation?the practical agitation that is going on in everj* direction. Why, the ministers are' preaching about it, eduoators are lecturing on the subject, the farmers, at least all who are organized, and they are organized in nearly all the states, are awakening to its importance to them, personally?to their purses and comfort Few, if any, of the farmers' institutes k have passed without more time being I given to goed road agitation than to alr most any other question. f "The question has been taken up in f one way or another in 20 different legisk latures, and the discussion on the variB ous measures touching better roads has K been farreanhinor. the naDers Quoting rmore or less from the bills and the speeches. Debating societies in thousands of schools have discussed the good roads question. Hundreds of thousands of men and women who ride wheels have talked more or less on the same question, and the great national organization of wheelmen known as the RESULT OF NARROW TIRES, i [From Good Roads.] I League of American Wheelmen, whose membership, I understand, is fast climbing to the 100,000 mark, has done a vast amount of -work in making right public sentiment. "We must not forgot that among these . wheelmen are thousands of formers and their sons; statesmen, diplomats, merchants, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers, capitalists, mechanics, workmen?men from all walks of life?as good people as we have, patriotic, public spirited, pushing citizens, whose power is being felt more and more in many laudable directions. I used to look with suspicion upon their efforts. I do so no longer, fof I have never known them to take up any work that did not mean more for other* than it did for themselves. "I must not forget my own profession. Why, I can hardly pick up an exchange in which there is not a reference v to me gooa roaas suDjecc. jjook at cms, just clipped from a widely circulated B publication. The editor was talking about a proposed piece of good road beW tween two western cities. His closing | paragraph is worthy of close study and I is as follows: f * 'But these roads cannot all be built in one year. The county board should lay out a plan for road improvement ^ oovering a number of years. A given I number of miles might be allotted to ' be completed each year. All parts of the county might be included, and in time a system of roads would be built that would be a credit to the county and a saving to the farmers. Perhaps if the sessions of the county board were to be held in the early spring months, I instead of in the fall, when we nearly' always have good roads, we might something substantial accomplished.' "Here is a paragraph from a Minnesota paper that attribntes th<2 failure of four merchants in March to bad roads. The roads were so bad that collections could not be made: Oh, yes, my profession is doing its pars in hastening the good roads era." The conversation was encouraging, very, and indeed rather inspiring, fqr whac the old ed'itor said is true. The agitation is indeed widespread. It must result in the upbuilding of the required good roads sentiment I Massachusetts Aid For Roads, The appropriations by the state of Massachusetts for the improvement of country i roads have been $300,000 in 1894, $4to0,000 in 1895, $000,000 in 1896 and $800,000 in 1897, a grand total of $2,100,000 in fonr years. j / MAIL CLOSES.
