Three days. of travel void of any un-;

ahead compelled va wlelair ot several
hours, which fortunately for its, result
ed in a bight of our President, who,
with his party, had spent Sunday - in
this place. At S:30 the exercises be
gun with a greeting by a large numben
f traveling men who llnel up,; aiid
filed ac ross the rear -platform of the
President's car, being each granted a
handshake Your correspondent being
a traveler, for the time being, lined up
with the ref, urid since -no questions
were a?ked, had the pleasure cf a. warm
rraso of the hand from our healthv-
looklng sun-burned President. As the
parade began uptov:n our train drew
out for Omaha, where we wre com
pelled to 'a It for , the evening train
over the Wabash f&r SSL Louis. Mean
whil. the Presidential party arrived In
Omaha, and lu he midiJtof sueh .a
wind and dust storm as only Nebraska

forntna'e In bearing therriV-r -
The first address yesterday was 'by
General Miles, on "Military Roadr anrl
a National Highway." The General's
remarksrfr.vre from a practical stand
point and were well received. J Hon:
Tt. If. Jesse, president of the ITnlversity
of Missouri, spoke on the "Relations of
Good Roads an J Schools," arguing for
the consolidated country school: with
' wagonettes on geod roads to gather the
ehildrenAand showing how such a
sthnl molds the social life of a com
munity. ' V ' '
Congressman Hepburn, $f Iowa', bnd
Mayor Carter Harrison, or Chicago,
MtiK unavoidably absent.-. ex-Governor
Horif. of Texas, and Mr. Samuel

impromptu addresses. The former

political attack.;-which was manifestly
out of order, and was greeted by a good
many hlnses, though the vigor and ear
nestness of the mn mlled -forth .Ap
plause at times. He said he , did not
expect the convention to ngree- with
him. so he wis certainly- not disap

gavea plain commonTense review t of
the value and iteeessity of g'od ro.-ids,
and was warmly applauded.

Good Roads In Ohio.
Judge Scott "receive a great deal of
valuable road literature from time to
time from different enthusiasts and
road experts In the Eastern states, and
he (has also received several letters
from prominent men who are devoting
their time and energy toward the fur
thef lng of this Important movement.
Among several letters received yester
day was the following fro,m a promi
nent road enthusiast of Iowa:
"Iowa Is rapidly coming to the front
In the campaign of 'education and or
ganisation for road improvement. April
16 and 17 a state good roads convention
was held at Des Moines. The attend
ance, the enthusiasm, and the ability
and prominence of the speakers Indicat
ed the Importance of the gathering.
Among th4 speakers were President
Moore and Secretary Richardson of the
National. Good Roads Association. Mr.
M. O. Eldrldge of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, Hon. Lafe
Young of the Daily Capital, Col. J. H.
Killebrew of Nashville, and Judge A.
H-jMcVey f Iowa. The two last nem
ed .speakers devoted special attention fo
the-question af National aid, which
proved to be the most popular idea pre
sented toj the convention. (
. 7 A permanent organization was
formed and five delegates from each
Congressional district were selected to
attend the1 National Good Roads Con
vention at; St. Louis. The resolutions
adopted favor National aid in ci-oper-atlon
with states, counties and munici
palities In a general scheme for road
improvement, and Iowa's Senators and
Representatives in Congress are re
quested t work for such a law.
fOne of the arguments advanced in
favor of tlie National aid plan Is that
it will tend to equalize the distribution
of, the funds appropriated by Congress.
Itjfs pointed out that, white a large
part of: the revenues collected by the
Federal Government come directly or
indirectly from the farming population,
only i small per cent of the appropria
tions are spent In the rural districts..
The e pending, of National funds for
building and improving highways w-ould
rjpJleve this Injustice to some extent
arid would tend to stimulate the farm
ers interest in pubfk affairs more than
