GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
The subject of the improve
me.it of the public roads has
been for some lime under con
sideration in different parts of
v'iio Uit:S It has been
discussed iu most of the popular
magazines and has occupied
much space in the newspapers
It cannot be doubted that tb
construction and maintenance
of good public highways is both
an evidence and au assuiauce
of progressive civilisation.
While the railroads and water
ways of the country facilitate
transportation aud ate the
means of bringing people into
quick communication, the public
roads must be in a condition for
easy travel, or traffic and tran
sit will be impeded.
The permanent highways of
old England are objects of ad
miration to travelers. They
should be as good in this coun
try as in tlmt.
The subject is a matter of
national aoncern and many
States of the Union have taken
it up in earnest.
A National Qood Il iads As
sociation has been form s i aud
a special train under the aus
pices of this association will go
from Chicago to Portland where
a convention will be held June
22-23-24. June 24 has beeu
set aside by the directors of the
Lewis aud Clark Exposition as
"Good Roads Day."
In bis address at the unveil
ing of the statue of General
Slocum the president spoke in
part us follows.
After referring briefly to Me
morial day as oommemorating
the great victory, the triumph
of union aud liberty, the Pre
sident referred to his recent trip
iuto Texas and the comradeship
that he Raw there between the
veterans of the blue and the gray
and added:
'Think of it my fellow coun
trymen! Think of what thrice
blessed fortune bus been ours,
that the greatest war that the
nineteenth century saw, aftei
the close of the Napoleonic
struggles, should have left, not
as most w x. in-vitably do and
must le u -e, nit unit ies of bitter
ness, dishonor aud shatue to off
set the memories of glory, mem
ories which make the men on
oue side hang their heads, but
which have not left that, but
have left to the victors and van
quished aliwe, after the tempor
ary soreness is over the same
right to feel the proudest satis-
faction in the fact that the
Union was saved and the great
est pride in the honor, the gal
lantry, the devotion to the right
as etch side had given it the
right to see the right, done alike
by those who overcame as vic
tors and those who fiaully went
down in defeat." (Applause)
Tben after speaking at some
length in praue of the life aud
character of General Slocum.
bo h in war and in the pursuits
of peace, the president spoke of
the position of tht United States
iu the family ot cations saying:
OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD
l "More and more as we in
crease it strength I hope to see
a corresponding increase in the
view pftuste "f reRnotifibility
which shall preveut us either
injuring or insulting auy other
people. You may notice that I
said "insulting as well as injur
ing.' If there is one quality!
sometimes shown among us'
which is not commendable, it is
s habit of speaking loosely about
foreign powers aud foreign races
You do not ueed any of you be
told that iu private lite you wil
resent an insult quite as much
as an injury, and our public
writers need to steadily keep
before their micds the thought
that no possible good can come
to us by speaking; offeusively ot
anyone else (applause) and trou
ble may come.
"The surest way for a nation
to invite disaster is to be opu
lent, aggressive and '.inarmed
(laughter and applause). Now
we are opulent an d I hope we
will remamso. l trust that we
shall never be aggressive unless
aggression is uot merely justi
fied but demanded (applause) .
Demanded either by our own
selfrespect or by the interests of
mankiud, and dually, remember
that to be aggreaivo, above all to
be aggressive in speech, and not
be armed invites not merely
disaster, but contempt of man
kind (applause).
