From the general support and
confidence the people are giving
.-M |
President Wilson, it is quite evident ■
that the oldtime political prejudice t
is rapidly disappearing. The»people I
have at last found oubthat+because
a man is a democrat or a republi
can, that he may be either a good
or. a bad «man; fore very body knows
that there are both good and bad
mem in all political parties. '■ More/
over, they have ascertained that”
when good men are elected to office-,
good government generally results,,
and vice versa when bad. men are
elected. For this reason the great
masses of the republican party are
giving President ‘ Wilson’ and the
democratic congress a cordial sup* |
port. Congress and the President I
are doing the things the people have
long wanthd done and which Presi
dent Taft and a republican congres^
refused to do. President Wilson
and congress has won the confidence
of the people. Let us hope that no
act, during the’ three years to corné,
shall disturb that confidence.
A bill is now before congress,
which proposes to appropriate $25,K
000,000 to assist the Various states,
in building highways. Well,^ whys
not? Why may not' thé government,
build wagon roads1« as well as to
assist in and build railroads, build;
canals and improve rivers and har
bors? Certainly the government
cannot spend money in a way which
will advantage the masses; of the
people more, than to assist the
states in developing their system of
highways. The bill proposes th
divide the money among the states
in some just and equi table , manner,
providing each state will provide a
sum equal to that given it by thé
general government. ' The govern
ment has charge of the mail-service,
rural routes included. It is, there
fore, merely a matter of good
business for the government to en
courage thè building of good roads,
for the benefit of rural carriers, if
for no other purpose. But, if good
hard surface roads are furnished
for rural carriers, other and all
people will benefit as well. This is
another straw indicating the purpose
of the Wilson administration to
benefit the people.
