Japanese Qeoeral It Advancing

Toklo, July 11. Late telegrams
from Gonor.il Kurokl's headquarters at

cso plans, either in tho interior of
Manchuria or at Port Arthur. Tho

to bo very near, although there is
much work to be done In the wav of

Will the Farmers Accept Their Aid or
Treat Them aa Meddlers.
Among thoso interested in road im
provement, tho farmers of coures stand
first. Tho character and condition of
tho roads aro of vital interest to them
every day of tho year. Tho farmorB,
until recontly, havo been compelled to
strugglo with tho road problem without
much help or oncouragoracnt from any
other class. Now, however, Bomo strong
olemonts of tho city population aro
rallying to thoir support. Among
those may bo named tho manufacturers
of road building machinery; tho nnk
ors and users of bicycles and automo
biles; and tho moneyed mon of the
cities who havo money invested In tho
country. Thcso people aro entering
into tho work for tho road improve
ment with oven moro enthusiasm and
zeal than tho farmers.
Just now tho farmers who want bet
ter roads aro brought faco to faco with
a most Important question: Will ho
accept tho assistance of thoso city ol
llos? Will ho wolcomo the aid of the
machinory man, tho capitalist, tho bi
cyclist and the nutomobtllst? Or, will
ho treat them as schemers who are try
ing to mcddlo with his affairs?
Tho answer to thoso questions ought
to dopond on what thoso city friends of
good roadB aro proposing to do, If I hoy
proposo to havo tho country roads Im
proved in .order lo incroaso their busi
ness and enhanco thoir pleasure-,
wholly at tho oxponso of tho farmor,
thon ho should spurn tho profford al
liance If on tho contrary thoy aro
proposing, through state and national
taxation to lift a large part of the bur
don off tho farmer and placo It on tho
taxpayers of tho cities, ho ought to bid
thorn wolcomo, and extend to thorn tho
glad hand.
This Is a live question for tho farmor
to ronsldor and answer. Already tho
opponents of tho state and national aid
are at work trying to sow seeds of sus
picion in the minds of the farmers, and
thoy will do their best to prevent any
co-operation between the country and
tho city friends of good roads.
As a matter of fact state and national
aid offer tho only hopo of general road
improvement, and such aid can novor
bo secured if tho city peoplo array
thomsolvos against it. Unless tho
farmers aro wholly blind to thoir own
interests, thoy will welcome aid from
evory sourco, and will make ovoiy of
fort to Hccuro tho powerful aid of tho
state and fed oral g ivernmonts.
