To Cuild (iuoil l'.uaitf.
SENATOR SPROUL. of Dela- '
ware County. has been putting
to "031I rse the interval of
legislative Inaetivi'.v in Pennsylvania
l>y preparing a aoo.l reads j
bill for later consideration, lie pro- (
poses to pat public ropd intiidin;; in tiio
State under the control of a State
Highway. .Commission, to consist of
three men. who shall appoint a State
Highway Engineer with supervisory |
powers. The State is to appropriate
$1,000,000 annually: the Highway l>epartniout
is- to contribute and require
scientific methods of construction, and
whatever amount may be expended in
any township is to l>e borne in equal
proportions by the township, the county
and the State. This would necessitate
a yearly expenditure of Stt.ono.ooo
for road betterment. The bill contains
other suitable provisions for adjusting
the old system of road supervision to
the new method proposed.
Tlte object of this bill is altogether
meritorious. It would be bettered,
however, by vrrding out of it the opportunity
for political 'engineering. It
would be an improvement, for example.
if the three State Highway Commissioners
should all be competent
engineers, and if the counties of the
State should be so divided as to give
oil o tint,! rtf invivlii'tion nnil
employment. This would make it unueeessarv
to appoint another man to do
the work while the three Ooinissioners
should look on. and would secure cumulative
official service.
Three million dollars could hardly he
spent to better advantage in Pennsylvania
than in building good roads.
Money so used would bring instant advantage
to the tax-paying contributor.
It would so cheapen transportation as
to add to the profit of production, and
so contribute to the comfort of movement
as to add length of life and happiness
to living. .
Senator Sproul is on the right track
If he can ouly so shape his bill that
the money contributed shall go straight ;
and whole into scientific road-making J
without diversion to the machine grab- |
bag.?Philadelphia Record.
Goml R*vmd? la Folitim.
The good roads movementjins made
such progress in New York State and
has won the approval of the people so
thoroughly that there is a constant
rivalry between the Republican and
Democratic parties iu that State as to
which shall present the most satisfactory
good roads plank In its platform.
This zeal for good roads does
not die with the election. Now York
State has a very goou roans iaw,
though doubtless, as the Democrats
claim, it is opeu to improvement, so as
to give more good roads. ?
The criticism is made that the improved
roads in New York State are
too much in unconnnectcd sections.
They are not continuous, so that iu
traveling considerable distances the '
enjoyment of the hard bottomed im- J
proved roads is marred by the lieoes- !
sity of traversing occasional sections
of the old stye road of dust or mini.
It is a happy condition when there is
iro longer the need of a demand for the
construction of good roads generally. I
but merely the complaint that there
are gaps remaining of the old discredited
dirt roads.
Good roads halt in Pennsylvania, the
demand being met by a law full of
promises, which, being unsupported
by appropriations, have never lieeu
realized iu performance. New York.
New Jersey and Massachusetts are
each making progress in road reconstruction.
while Pennsylvania stands
still. Perhaps when good roads are
made a party issue, as in New York,
something will be done. We have had
road commissions and legislation on
the subject. The opposition to road

actual building: of improved roads in
Pennsylvania on a largo scale lias not
yet commenced.
Philadelphia in its suburbs and two
of its adjoining townships have some
improved roads of the first quality, j
They show what good roads are and 1
what they can do for a neighborhood. '
It is possible, however. that for this
State good roads must wait until the |
politicians see that there are votes !
to be had here for good roads as well I
as in New York State.?Philadelphia
Press.
A Good Omen.
Perhaps it is a good omen that the
first bill introduced In the House of i
Representatives was one to appropriate
money for the establishment in the Department-of
Agriculture of a bureau of
good roads. Hood roads would do good
to all men. The United States, instead
of having tile worst roads within the
limits of civilization, should have the I
best. It is a curious contradiction that
Americans insist on fast railroad trains.
fast ships, fast mails, fast horses and
fast autos. hut also apparently insist
on slow roads. As a city should have
good streets, so should tlie country
have good roads. Roads heavy with
mud or dust or rough with ruts and
liflls are not only an evidence of unthrift.
but a bar to progress. Ruts and
hills are almost as much of a check on
intercourse as tollgates.
But the good roads movement has
struck deep in men's minds, and will
grow till bad roads shall have been
made good. Cood roads are a paying
investment. They promote neighborhood
intercourse, bring the school,
church and farm house nearer to each
other, reduce the distance between the
market and the farm, increase the longevity
of wagons and economize horse
power.

The Oldest Man in America Attributes
His Long Life and Good

Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan County.
Texas, has at wined the great age of 114
years. He is an ardent friend ot 1'ertma,
and speaks of it in the following terms.
Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world as

a great many things by experience. 1 think
I nave done so. t
"One of the things I have found out to

hayg withstood the;
" changeable climate
of the United States. During my long life
I have known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. 1
had always supposed these affections to be
different diseases. For the last ten or
fifteen years I have hcen reading Dr. Hartman's
books, and have learned from them
one thing in particular. That these af-;
feetions are tiie same, and that they are
properly called catarrh.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy. Pcruna,
I have found it to he the best. if not the
only, reliable remedy for these affections.
It has been my stand-by /or many
years a nd I attribute m y good health

the growing nower of the Peruua plant
from its incipience in the little log cabin,
