Them—Improvements.
In France, where they have the best
roads of any country in tho world, the
highways are divided into sevoral classos,
but all of them aro supervised by tlie
national government, which maintains
a bureau of roads and bridges and sup
ports a school for the education of the
engineers and inspectors who are em
ployed in tho bureau.
This method of building and main
taining roads in France was started by
the first Napoleon, who appears to have
been the earliest European statesman
who clearly saw the great economic ad
vantage of proper highways, and who
at the same time had the power to carry
out what ho wished. The effect of these
good roads in France has been wonder
ful. They have brought all the various
parts of tho country nearer together,
they have made country life less lone
some and they have reduced the cost of
transportation of country produce to a
minimum. France ie the only country
in Europe whore the agricultural classes
uro not dissatisfied, and where they do
not feel that they have a harder time
than those who labor in other fields.
In America a sentiment was once
worked up as to the necessity for good
common roads. This was diverted by
tho birth of the railroad, which has now
been developed to a greater extent than
elsewhere in tho world. But the ne
cessity for good common roads is not a
whit less because we have plenty of rail
roads, and tho movement for the better
ment of tho ordinary country highways
is now very much alive in all parts of
tho country. It was started by the
League of American Wheelmen, tho
bicycle riders, and this association has
been very nctivo in its efforts to secure
legislation in favor of good road build
ing. Tho country peoplo liavo sometimes
misunderstood tlia efforts of the wheel
men, aud have pretended to think that
the only persons who would be benefited
would be tho bicyclo riders, whose sport
does not seem to the rural mind to cut
much of a liguro in the economy of the
countryside.
Such a contention as this is as wise as
it would be to maintain that cellar doors
wero made for children to slide down
and that gates wero hung for little girls
and boys to swing upon. These sports
men were selfish, of course, in starting
this movement, but if it bo kept up
until there bo something dono to make
our roads worthy of our country, they
will have accomplished so beneficial a
work that wo will bo nblo to thank them
right heartily without looking at all
into the motives which first inspired
them. Tho common roads of a country
aro at onco tho means and tho measure
of its civilization, and no American lias
any light to feel proud when lio thinks
of tho muddy and dusty ways which
servo as our interior methods of com
munication. — John Gilmer Speed In
