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

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.

All day we wait for sunset, and all night we

Friendship.
I sing of friendship. 'Tia a word
That's vary, very often heard.
Bat little understood.
One holds as friend the asefnl man
Who at the timely moment oan
Do him a deal of good.
Another says a friend is be
Who's ready with bis sympathy
And excellent advioe,
And yet another deems him one
Who joins straight in the paaaing.fna ?
And adds his share of sploe.
Again, yon hear the only friend
Is he who willing is to lend
His money at the oalL
Bat none of these, though fair, will do>
They haven't really got the trns
Descriptive touch at alL
The friends, the bona fide friends,
Are they who when good luok attends
Upon yon for a season
Do not commence to sneer and float
Aqd say the whole affair's without
The slightest rhyme or reason;
Who do not lift their eyebrows or
Deal In Barcastio metaphor,
Their lips with envy curving.
Keep them, my boy I Sach friends are ram
But, if you have thorn, know that they're
The sole ones worth preserving.
