ELLA WHEELER WILCOX i SHE PUTS IN A PLEA IFOR THE CONSTRUC- I I TION OF GOOD ROADS \ I AS AN AID TO NA- ! ! TIONAL PROGRESS. ‘•miHHHHHHHHHHIIIHIMHIHMIlHHHIHHHi A (Copyright, 1906. by Amerlcan-Jour nal-Exnmlner.) MERICA Is Just waking to Its need of good roads. When visiting the Pan-Amerl can Exposition I first learned of the great organisation which existed for the promotion of this splendid move ment. - England’s good roads are justly fa mous, and In her West Indian Island, Jamaica, they ar, a delight and benefit to native and tourist. It Is a curious fact that thousanda of >eople In the country regard the build ing of good roads by town, city or gov ernment as on extravagance for the benefit of the rich, who drive In car- rlagcs and automobiles. The real fact of the matter la that no one benefits so greatly from good hlghwaya os the farmer and the atock breeder and the country dwellers who are engaged In any kind of Industry. ' I can recall seasons In my early girl hood when there was despondency and gloom over the whole country neigh-. l;orhood because of Some sudden rise In the price of produce-when the roads, were absolutely impassable. And before they could be safely used to transport the crops to market tho price waa certain to fall progress drives through the land. The poor, the rich, the humble, the great, the people of today and the pee. pie of live hundred yeara to come will all be benefited. It Is a curious fact that of all the marvelous achievements of the Roman dynasty In surrounding countries at the time of Its greatness, nothing remains today but the good roada! Schools, temples, cities, aqueducts, Institutions of learning, buildings of state—all are gone, but the good roade remain. Let every man and woman and child In America clamor for good roads! What everybody wapts must come. CONCENTRATION. Its Effects Upon, the Socisl, Do mestic and Business Life. By LANDON CARTER. recollections discomfort and loneliness they caused that a good road seems to me a thing of such beauty. A closely shaven lawn, neatly kept, and a hard, smooth road always stir me with q peculiar sensation; some thing like to that which a sound of music or a sight of a beautiful picture or tho reading of a great poem pro duces. Life assumes new meaning and i glamour and a halo fall over the com monplace. A Great Contrast I can remember when good roads first appealed to me. My childhood home was on a Wis consin prairie, twelve miles from l town: the roods were rarely good, de pending upon long seasons of dry weather to be free from mudholes and hollows, and when dry and Smooth they were covered with Inch-deep dust. Three or four times a yeqr perhaps I drove Into town with older members of the family, and as we approached the city the good roads began and the lawnn, and all the face of the and the atmosphere of Hfe changed for me. Hope, ambition, Joy seemed to rise from those hard roads and smooth, green lawns and envelop me; the world grew larger: Imagination wait stimu lated, and when, In addition to all this, a strain of music reached me from within some house by the wayside, or from some street organ, bringing ro mance with It, then Indeed life became a thing so wonderful that It could scarcely be borne. As we drove back homeward all these emotions faded as soon as the rough roads and ragged lawns ap peared again. And to this day the same feelings, to degree, take possession of me when J pats from unkempt nature and see rood roads and lawns which show the loving care of man. I know that artists rave over tangled grasses and wild paths of nature, but to me uncut grass In a yard means tired men and women, overtaxed with du{le* for which they were not fitted by temperament, ami to which they brought only Irritability and discon tent; duties which left no time for the decorative and beautiful; the fields and barns, stablea and pens must receive care; the front yard could wait. And it did wait, loneaoma and over- frown and neglected, to typify forever n my mind, heart hunger and deso lation. Roads and Progress. Just so the country road, with Ita humps and hollows and mud and duat, typifies poverty and misfortune and dissatisfaction and lack of progress. It means Isolation from companion ship and distance from market, and waiting for letters, and discomfort In locomotion for man and beast. And In contrast tha clipped lawn and the good road mean time for pleasure and leisure, hours tor recreation and the enjoyment of life; music and laughter; communication with friends; the ability to go .and come without exhausting all time and vitality; com fort for animal and man, and benefit Individual and community. Yes, Indeed. Miss Columbia, and Uncle 8am. gtva us good roads. Give ua money to build them and money to keep them In order. Put all the unemployed upon their construction.
