The latest evidence of the influence of
the bioyole, and its modern relative, the
automobile, opon highway improve
ment, is found In a bill fathered by the
League of American Wbeeliven. This
bill proposes an appropriation of five
million dollars bv congress for the con
struction of military roads. These
roads are to run from New York to
Chicago by way of Albany, to Boston,
and to Philadelphia. Of course, every
body knows that these roads would
never be used for military purposes
the railroads would furnish more rapid
transportation but the shrewdness
of the league in taking advantage of the
present popularity, of national defense
is apparent. The lack of shrewdness in
supposing that the rest of the country
will take kindly to this proposition to
improve the roads in that section having
the best roads at present is equally ap
parent. The roads around Boston are
now the finest io the country, furnish
ing examples nf what can be so
oomplished by looal enterprise. Those
in the neighborhood of the other pro
posed bsnefloiary cities are a'most as
good. If the national government is to
expend five million dollars to construct
"military roads where tLy would serve
as ohjeot-lessons, an 1 encourage th
construction of modern highways in
localities where they do not now exist.
