GOOD ROADS MEAN PHO- ORESS AND PROSPERITY THE FOLLOWING is the sum mary of an address delivered at the last session of Congress by Representative Sulzer of New York, and makes particularly inter esting reading to Coos county people at the present time: "My purpose In taking the floor at this time is to say a few words on a topic of much moment good roads. I am now, always have been, and al ways expect to be In favor of good road building. There is no subject at the present time of more Import ance to all the people than the prop osition to construct good roads by governmental aid along economic and constitutional lines. "The plain people of the land are familiar with the truths of history. They know tho past. They realize that often tho difference between good roads and bad roads is the dif ference between profit and loss. Good roads have a money value far beyond our ordinary conception. Bad roads constitute our greatest drawback to internal development and material progress. Good roads mean prosperous farmers; bad roads mean abandoned farms, sparsely set tled country districts, and congested populated cities, where tho poor are destined 'to become poorer. Good roads mean more cultivated farms and cheaper food products for tho toilers in tho towns; bad roads mean poor transportation, lack of commu nication high prices for tho neces saries of life, the loss of untold mil lions of wealth, and Idle workmen seeking employment. Good roads will help those who cultlvato tho soil and feed the multitude, and whutovor aids the producers of our country will increase our wealth aud our greatness and benefit all the people. Wo canuot destroy our farms without final decay. They are today tho heart of our national life and the chief source of our material greatness. Tear down every edifice in our cities aud labor will rebuild thorn, but abandon the farms and our cities will disappear forever. "Now, Mr. Chairman, I want to sny again that 1 take an abiding In terest In this all-absorbing question for bettor highways by some plan of governmental assistance. I know It can bo done honestly, economically, nnd constitutionally. 1 am not com mitted to nny pot scheme. I hnvo no vanity In tho matter. I caro not who gots tho glory so long as the people got tho results. "I am for tho cause, and In the light to stay. Good roads mean pro gress nnd prosperity, a benefit to tho peoplo who live in tho country, and it will help every section of our vast domain. Good roads, llko good stroets, make habitation along them most deslrnble; they onhance tho value of farm lands, facilitate trans portation and add untold wealth to tho producers aud consumers of the country: they aro tho mllostonos marking tho advanco of civilization; they oconoml7o time, glvo labor a lift, and make millions In money; thoy snvo wear and tear and worry i.nd waste; they beautify the coun t j, bring it In touch with the city; t .w aid the social and the religious and the educational and the Indus trial progress of the people; they make better homes and happier hearth sides; they are the avenues of trade, the highways of commerce, the mail routes of Information, and the agencies of speedy communica tion; they mean the economical transportation of marketable prod ucts the maximum burden at the minimum cost; they are the liga ments that bind the country together In thrift and Industry and lntehl gonce and patriotism; they promote social Intercourse; prevent intellec tual stagnation, and increase the happiness and the prosperity of our producing masses; they contribute to the glory of the country, give em ployment to our idle workmen, dis tribute the necessaries of life the products of the fields and the for ests and tho factories encourage energy and husbandry, inculcate love for our scenic wonders, and make mankind better and greater and grander and broader. "Good roads, sir, are the arteries of the Industrial life of a great and wonderful people. Good roads make a good country. In a government such as ours all sorts and conditions of men and women are more or less absolutely dependent upon the best and speediest means of communica tion and transportation. If you say that good roads will only help the farmers, I deny It. The farmers who produce the necessaries of life are less dependent than the millions and millions of people who live In our cities. The very lives of the latter depend on the farmers the produc ers of the necessaries of -life. The most superficial Investigation of this subject will clearly prove that good roads are more Important to the con sumers than they are to the produc ers of the country. -. "But the burdens of life fall thick est and hardest on the farmer; and he gets less for the taxes ho pays than any other class of people In the land. The least the government can do for him Is to help him get decent highways. I am with the farmers In this fight for good roads. I am with tlie rural districts of our land In their struggle for better transporta tion facilities, and in congress, or out of congress, I shall do all In my power to hasten the consummation they desire the ability to go and to come along good roads without ex hausting the time and the effort and the utility of man and beast. "Tho fathers of the republic wise ly recognized the importance of this question. Washington and Jefferson advocated good roads and projected tho construction of a great highway from the capital to the Mississippi valley. The far-seeing statesmen of the early days of our national ex istence championed and passed meas ures to better the means of trans portation. They knew that of all human ngoncles the one which has done most for civilization has been tho building of good roads the abridgment of distance, the shorten ing of time In the facilities of communication. They realized the necessity of good roads, how Impor tant they woro to the country, to Its growth and development; and to mankind, morally, physically, intel lectually, and Industrially; removing national nnd provincial antipathies, and binding together all sorts and conditions of peoplo in the brother hood of man. "Tho farslghtod wisdom of Julius Caesar built from tho Imperial ex-' chequer the magnificent roads that led In all directions to eternal Rome. Tho great Napoleon Caesar like built tho roads of Franco that center In Paris from tho general fund of tho government; and these French roads have dono more than any oth er single agency to oncourago tho thrift and Increase tho Industry and lnsuro the contentment of the peoplo of France. Caesar and Napoleon woro tho great road builders of nn ctent and modern times, and their foresight and their Judgment demon strated tho beneflclent results that follow llko tho night, tho day, the building of great governmental high ways." TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Annie- Resant has given it as her oplnlou that tho Ideal man will ap pear on earth In the year 230S. Let us hopo Annie will bo here long enough to see her prediction verified. Speaking of rank quitters, we be llove tho modal should go to tho party mentioned In this motor car Item from tho Atchison Globo: "Ed. Underwood of Good Intent, bought an' nutomobllo last week. In run- nlng It he had a slight accident and lost his nerve to such an extent that he now wants to sell his machine." Shame on you, Ed! A Cincinnati widow claiming to have a church attendance record of 22,000 times died last week. As yet no one has announced a determina tion to break her record. The White Mountain, N. H., Echo reports that "J. F. Grouch and fam ily are spending a few weeks at Mount Pleasant." At the end of that time the Grouches may feel like changing their name. Don't accept every opportunity to tell a "funny story." Maybe you do not tell funny stories well; and bear In mind that many people dislike them as much as they dislike chil dren playing exercises on the piano. A Portland man is preparing to lecture on "Grouchlness In Phycho logy." We don't know where he could learn more about grouchlness than In Portland unless It Is around some editorial sanctums In Southern Oregon. C. F.
