8 OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906. GOOD ROADS GREAT NATIONS. - la an article on "Good Roads Makes Great Nations," Hon. W. P. Brownlow, congressman from Tennessee and au thor of the "Brownlow Bill" which provides for Government subsidy in road construction, writes the follow ing for Collier's Weekly: "National aid to highway construc tion as a plain, practical business proposition is, in my opinion, para mount to any question that now pre sents or that can possibly be suggest ed, because good roads would do more betterment of mankind.. The rural church-house is the birthplace of Christian character, of high ideals of life, and of patriotic purpose. Neither rural church nor1 school can flourish where impassable roads abound, and if these cannot prosper the American home can not long survive, because the American home can only be per petuated in its present glory through the uninterrupted progress of civiliza tion and the wholesome growth of Christianity and the spread of educa tion in the land. "There is a - feature of this ques tion which persons accustomed to for the country than any other thing that can be named, or any dozen or . thoroughness in every other line of more things combined. The question I thought seem to entirely overlook, es- is outsiae oi ana aDove party pontics, pecially dwellers in towns and cities. its entire constitutionality is now al most universally admitted, and the necessity for it is present in every household in the land. It is import ant to every calling and condition; to every trade and profession; to ev ery toiler in whatever field of human endeavor ; to every manufacturing in terest and industrial concern; to ev ery church and school, and to the sta bility of the Government itself. "I am aware that many people in cities and towns regard the road ques tion as one affecting the farming in terests alone. If this were true, it would yet be simple injustice and only a recognition of the existence of reciprocal obligation between the Gov ernment and the people for the Gen eral Government to extend its aid, for the reason that all wealth and all prosperity depend upon agriculture. The farmers are the only real produc ers; all others are consumers. The farmers preserve the balance of trade in American favor year by year. Strike down agriculture, and chaos would quickly follow; cripple agricul ture, and every 'interest in the land would suffer. But it is not true that the farmers alone are interested In this great question. It is pregnant with interest to the consuming pop ulation pf towns and cities, and to -railroads, manufacturers, and trades men as well. Furthermore, church and school interests must inevitably be retarded while road conditions re main as they are today, "The rural schools are the schools of the masses in which are laid the deep and lasting foundations for com ing lives of usefulness and for the 1 C.

It is the universal interest involved, and upon this I desire to speak with especial emphasis. Aside from church, school ,and social economy, there is meat in the question for every man to digest. If the common roads of the country were brought to a condition that would enable farmers to market their products at all seasons of the year, the cost of living in town and city would be greatly lessened and discontent among laboring people and the operatives of industrial concerns would largely decrease, if it did not entirely disappear. Why and how? "Present road conditions compel farmers to rush their products to mar ket as soon as harvested, when the roads are at their best, since by wait ing a convenient time they may not get there at all because of bad roads. This naturally congests the market. forcing low prices, to the great detri ment of the producer and without ap preciable benefit to the consumer, be cause the average family in town or city buys only in small quantity at one time, say a day's or a week's sup ply. What is the result? The specu lator, finding prices low and knowing that in a little while the bad-roads season will be on, when competing products will be kept from the trade centers, buys up the surplus and stores it away for the day of neces sity when he can demand and receive his own price for his holdings the stuff for which men toil, which they are compelled to nave at wnatever cost. And when the citizen in towns the mechanic and operative of shops and factories is forced in winter and spring to pay exhorbitant prices for those articles of household necessi ty which went begging for buyers at lov prices the preceding fall, he fig ures the increased cost of living in comparison, and grows restless and discontented, and is easily led into strikes and other labor disturbances that are so disastrous to the business of the country and so prolific of oth er hurtful consequences. This, of course, is not all that enters into strike causes, but it contributes a full share. "It is a perfectly plain proposition that the continuous, orderly operation of industrial business - depends on measurably contented employees; that of food stuffs from the farm would be always at a decent living level to all concerned if the country- had sys tematically Improved highways over which farmers could travel to market any day in the year. These farmers would then realize better prices for their products than they do now, at less cost for marketing, and still be able to sell to all classes of consumers at lowers prices than are forced by speculators at the bad roads season. "Again: The farmer, the mainstay and dependence of the Republic in every emergency, feels that his sub stance is annually swallowed up in the unhappy conditions that deny him reasonable market communication at his best time to sell. He is discon tented when remembering that he pays about sixty-eight per cent of all the taxes, and yet receives no direct consideration at the hands of the Gov ernment, while unnumbered millions have been given from the national treasury to better conditions every where except upon the farm. "The man who digs out of the soil that which sustains all progress and prosperity knows that while Govern ment aid has been lavished upon rail roads and ocean-going commerce, not one dollar, since the construction of the old Cumberland road, has been ex pended by the United States to facili tate commerce between the farm and the market. The more than four hun dred million dollars which have been given to river and harbor improvement went out of the Treasury on the theory that the improvement of transporta tion facilities is a matter of vital pub lic concern. The ' theory is correct, and it carries with it the indorsement of Government aid in the improvement of wagon roads, because these are the primary and therefore the most import ant lines' in our system. While it is undeniable that the influence of pub lic schools, the press, the pulpit, and other institutions marks the progress of civilization, yet all these are more or less dependent upon the facilities of intercourse between the people. Good roads through the country would do much to relieve the congestion of population in great cities, and thus the social fabric would be strengthened, because rural life is conducive to the highest moral standards, whereas in crowded city tenements vice runs riot with its malign influence. "The proposition to have the Gov ernment aid the States in the improve ment of highways, as embodied m the bills now before Congress, means only to discharge a national obligation. The Government belongs to the people. In its control there- is a community of interest Involved. The necessity for Government aid to good roads is so plainly apparent that it is outside the domain of controversy. Bad roads in the United States cost the produc ing people $1,500,000 every twenty four hours. This drain is fearful; it is deadening the national life, and is a national disgrace.

RATES REASONABLE Whatever mar be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published iu some journals of more or less mliuencs, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject. It has," in a considerable measure, resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus pected of containing the injurious ingre dients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as it were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi cines are composed. Thus he has com pletely forestalled all harping critics and all opposition that mi-iht otherwise be urged against, his medicines, because they are now of knows compositiox. - Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotic or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the depths of our American forests and of well recognized curative virtues. Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objec tionable from its tendency to produce a craving for stimulants. Dr. Pierce em ploys chemically pure, triple refined glycerine, which of itself is a valuable remedy in many casus of chronic disease, being a superior demulcent, anti-septic, anti-ferment and supporting nutritive. It enhances the curative action of the Golden .Seal root. Stone root. Black Cherry bark and Bloodroot. contained in "Golden Medical Discovery." in all bronchial. throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. As will bo seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover Coe, of New York: Bartholow, of Jefferson Medie:il College. Phila,.: Scudder, of Cin cinnati: Ellinwood. of Chicago: Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of prac tice. The foregoing agents are the very best .ingredients that Dr. Pierce could have chosen to nuke up his famous " Discovery " for the cure of not only bronchial, throat and lung affections, but also of chronic catarrh in all its various forms in whatever part of the system located. By reading the writings of these emi nent medic! men contained in the little booklet recently compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Hu.-falo. N. Y.. which will he sent free, on request by postal card orl letter, aunressej to mm, as above, the reader will find that all the several native, medicinal roots entering into the "Golden Medical Discovery." as also into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for woman's weaknesses and peculiar ail ments, are very highly recommended and praised as cures for diseases for which Dr Pierce advises these famous medi cines of his preparation. Dr. Ellingwood says of Golden Seal root, which is an important ingredient in both " Favorite . Prescription" and "Golden Medical Discovery," "it is an Important remedy .in disorders of the womb." He continues: " In all catarrhal conditions. es-ocia!iy in flabbv. muscular relaxation and general enfeeblement it is useful."

He continues: "It is a good remedy for the rehex ( side achesi of unmarried women." He aho recom mends it for uterine leucorrhoea. also for sterility. He further says, "its action is slow, but ii efiect are pernuimnit." He also recommends this agent for ,M Vitua's dance, also for many rbi i p u.ic conditions, as does alo Ilol urt L. H;.:e.. M.

They may be taken conjointly in alternate doses with great advantage. The most intelligent people are fast coming to the conclusion that it does not pay and is not sa fe to resort to medicines of doubtful ion. position when there are those in the n-trket every ingredient of which is published on their wrappers and which, are so strongly praised and en dorsed by scores of those most eminent in the medical profet-sion. Secret medi cines can, of course, have, no such pro fesvioiuU endorsement. In favor of Tr. Pierce's medicines is the frank, confidirg. open, honest state ment of their lull composition, giving every ingredient in plain Etigl-Uh, with out fear of succewiful criticism and with confidence thsit the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appreciate this honorable manner of confiding to them what they are taking into their stomachs when making use of these medicines. Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medi cines freely lfnre them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers of all the several school: of practice as cures for the diseases for w hich these medicines are recommended.

Rural Free Delivery in our Postal Service is doing much to awaken our Congressmen to the needs of the country roads: and the development of the touring automobile is bringing the urban population to better under stand the highway needs of the nation. Every interest of our people demands good roads, and we can only have them through a great national move ment, the Government of the United States leading the way. "In conclusion: About one-third of our' people bear the total cost of the construction and improvement of the common roads. The people of the cities and towns, equally interested in these roads, pay nothing to keep up betterments, but they do pay an enor mous cost annually for the presence of bad roads, as I have pointed out. The problem of the age is yet to be solved. Shall . we have Government aid and a system of scientifically con structed roads, blazing the way - to such prosperity, such peace and con tentment as the country never yet has known, or are we to go on in the old century-ridden ruts laid along the trail of the bison and the deer by the fathers of the Republic? Will the people let their Senators and Congress menn sleep upon a bill which provides for their paramount need? Good roads may become law during the life of the Fifty-ninth Congress if the people themselves demand it. But without the demand from the people, Congress will not act." ' ' ture of beer.
