FEDERAL AID THI The members of Congress are di vided into two classes, first the! gentlemen who represent country districts, made up mostly of far mers, the lumbermen and miners, and second, representatives from city districts. The members from 1 he country districts and especially those from the south have been working quite a while to try to get the government to furnish some fi nancial aid in maintaining and re pairing the roads over which the mail riders pass. Thomas Jefferson long since rec ognized the propriety of this as is found in his writings with refer ence to internal improvements of the country roads. Henry Clay said, "Of all the modes in which the country can employ its surplus reve nue, none is more permanent and beneficial than that of internal improvements. Fixed to the soil it becomes a durable part of the land itself diffusing comfort and activity and animation on all 6ides," and John C. Calhoun while secretary of war said' "Let it not be said that internal improvements should be left wholly to the enterprise of the state and individuals." A very im portant bill is now up before con gress, which we think will pass, in fact it has already, we understand, passed the h^use, in which it is pro posed to spend trom fifteen to twen ty-five dollars per mile per annum on all the highways in the United Kelps a Judge in a 3ad Fix. Justice Eli Cherry, of Gillis Wills, Tenn., was plainly worried. A bad sore on his leg had ba tiled several doctors and long resisted ali remedies. I thought it was a cancer, ' he wrote.

We hope that the state legislature will also follow the example and supple ment this amount with a like sum and in this way, let the money act as a sort of bait to toll the people into having good roads. Some of the gentlemen in the" city districts oppose this on the grounds of what they call legislation in favor of one class against another class, and say further that the government lias no right to pay the state and local communities for the use of their property, but as wa3 ably illustrat ed by Mr. Lever, from this state, they seem to forget the millions of dollars that the government is an nually paying to railroads, electric I and cable cars, steamships and for j the rent of post office buildings and for pneumatic tube service and house to house delivery in cities, of ' mails by carriers, and they do not seem to realize as Mr. Lever says, that "Prosperity for the farm spells prosperity for the cities, rural hap piness means city contentment, the town and country are interdepen dent, one cannot prosper while the other fails to do so. Secretary Wilson estimates that it costs each person in the United States annually three dollars and a half on account of the bad conditions of the roads" AND GOOD ROADS WILL KEEP PEOPLE OX THE FARM.
