GOOD ROADS COMING.
THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
"Widespread Discussion Has
Shown the Pressing Need of
Highway Improvement?Men
From Ali Walks of Life Have
Enlisted In the Cause.
There is no doubt in the minds
of those who have studied the
signs of the times that an era of
road improvement 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 had 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 one of the beat
signs of the times."
"1 infer that you think it high
time for such an era," remarked
a farmer subscriber who had
dropped in for a few financial
transaction.
"I purely do. In fact, I can't
fin 1 even the shadow of an excuse
for any more delay m ."fs journey
our way. I only wonder why,
when advances are being made
in so many other respects, some
of which are of little importance
compared with the roads over
which manv 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
von encouragement that there is
. approaching a revolution in the
matter of roads?" asked the farm-.
er, adding that he was "aware
that good roads mean more to me
and my brother farmers than to
any other class," and that ho was
anxious to see his work go on.
"Agitation, sir, agitation? the
practical agitation that is going
on in every direction. Why, the
ministers are preaching about if,
educators aro lecturing on the*
subject, the farmers, at least aii
who aro organized, and thoy are
orgmized in nearly all tlm stati are
awakening to its importance
to them, personal]}*?to their
purses and comfort. Few, if any,
of the farmers' institutes have
passed without more time being!
Kiven to Rood road agitation than
to almost aii3T other qut stion.
"The question has heen taken j
up in 0110 way or an other in 20
different legislatures, and the discussion
on the various measures :
touching hotter roads has been
far-reaching, tin* papers quoting
more or less from the hills and:
the speeches. Debating societies i
in thousand of] schools have (lis- '
cu 1 the good road* question, j
Hundreds of thousands of men
and women who ride wheels have
talked more or less on the samel
question, and the great national
organization of wheelmen known
as the League of American
Wheelmen, whose membership, I
understand, is fast climbing to
to the 100,000 mark, has done a
vast amount of work in making
right public sentiment.
"Wo must not forgot that among
those wlieelmon are thousands of
farmers and tlieir Hons; stateslnon,
diplomats, merchants, lawyers,
doctors, manufacturers, capitalists
mechanics, workmen ?
men from all walks of life?as
good people as we have, patriotic,,
public spirited, pushintr citizens,
whoso power is being felt more'
and more in many laudable directions.
I used to look wirh sus- '
picion upon thoir efforts. 1 do so |
] mo longer, for I have never known
I them to take up any work that
;jdid not tueau more for others;
than it did for themselves.
"I must not forget my own profession.
Why, 1 can hardly pick [
up an exchange in which thei"
'is not a reference to the good
I roads subject. Look at this, just
clipped from a widely circulated
publication. The editor was talking
about a proposed piece of
good road between two western
cities. His closing paragraph is
worthy of close study and is as
f o 11 o w 8:
"'Ilut these roads cannot all
bo built in one year. The county
board should lay out a plan for
road improvement covering a
number of years. A given number
of miles might be allotted to be
complete each year. All parts of
the county might be included,
and in timo a system of roads
would be built that would he a
credit to the country and a saving
to the farmers. Perhaps if
the sessions of tho county board
were to be held in tho early spring
months, instead of in the fall,
when we nearly always have good
roads, we might see something,
substantial accomplished.'
''Here is a paragraph from a.
I Minnesota paper that attributes!
the failure of four merchants in !
I 1
; March to bad roads. The roads
were so bad that collections could
not be made. Oh, yes, my pro j
fession is doing its part in lias-.
II >ning the good roads era."
The conversation was encour-;
I aging, very, and indeed rather}
| inspiring, for what the old editor j
said is true. The agitation is in-j
deed widespread. It must result

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder v.aa created for
one purpose, nainoly, a receptacle
for the urine, and as such it is j
| not liable to any form of diseaso
: except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action i1
of the kidneys. The second way J'
is from careless local treatment''
i of other diseases.

English Cotton Mills.
V,Te 1 avo been talking, for
years, at the South of New Eng.
Intul cotton mills moving to this
,=o 'ion, but now there in a report
that English factories will he en*
tabllshed here. Tho Boston Transcript
says this would bo an undertaking
that would make old
Lancastrians turn in their graves,
cause every mule frame in Oldham
to run out of gear and every
loom in Manchester to lose picks.
Our Boston contemporary adds :
"But what better alternative
presents itself? In our Southern
States, in close proximity to the
staple and with other advantages

"The contemplation of such a
possibility as tho removal of Knglish
cotton mills here, naturally
mggests tho British policy relating
to cotton manufacture in facer
in the last century. Then,
Nimuel Slate r, Arkwriglit's young
4 .prentice, . tole secretly out of
England with las head full of tho
letails of spinning machinery,
btit with never a lino or model,
;he lindir : of which would betray
ii- secret and give liirn a turn in
jail for the hotter protection of
Kngli-h spinners against colonial
competition. Thanks to his retentive
memory, the foundations
>f American cotton manufacture
were laid de ep and sure, and what
the superstructure is to-day we
ill kno v. It would bo k strange

Loos, Stutt iiml Ilargreaves ao;opt
the hospitality of his country,
which, in spite of embargo
"itxi repression, has made its mlustrial
power felt throughout
tlio v.'urld, and now magnanimously
holds out a glad hand to tho
ioscondants of its old oppressors.'1
"When 1 got to ho a man,"
said a hoy to his father, "I am going

the father. "How aro you

some of the ground which they
have lost through one cause and
another, we have room and to
spare for all buch, and their coming
here together with their workers,
would be a boon to whatever
section they settled in. In the
present crisis in the cotton industry
throughout the world, Kngland
is tho most unfortunate of the
countries engaged in the manufacture.
The trade otica compact
is being broken up as new factors
are coming to tho front, and
she sees her old customers supplying
their own needs, as well as
catering to the trade of others.
"Tlie part America is taking in
this Mi of the cotton goods
trade, has been commented upon
before. There is no pood reason
why we should not hold fast what
we have acquired in this line
aboard, or why we should not ourselves
from time to time of new
territory in the commercial world,
and whether such acqusition be
the result of natural conditions
or of the native enerpy of Northern
or Southern manufacturers,
the plory and the advantape accuring
from it will be shared by
the country as a whole.
