A farm on a good road five miles from market will sell for more than a farm three miles on a bad road. Roads should be built where they will serve the greatest number of people. Permanent roads cannot be obtained through patchwork and faceident.

Clubs should be formed in every village and they should be ready to spend money for the promotion of the good cause. If a road is made good and smooth for the automobilist is it not hard and smooth for the farmer too? Go fill up a hole or open a drain and set an example which your neighbors may possibly follow. A. permanent course in highway construction and mainte nance should be established in every State university. Let us build roads that will en able the producers to easily and cheaply reach the market.

The cost of living will be lowered by shortening the distance or time of travel between the producer and consumer. The improvement of your road will enable you to sell your land at a handsome profit. The southern States are aflame with better road enthusiasm. Public roads are just like other property and they need constant care. Dr.

We remembered well enough that we had set up a policy which was meant to serve the humblest as well as the most powerful, with an eye single to the standards of justice and fair play, and remembered its with pride. But we were very heed less and in a hurry to be great. "We nave come now 1.0 the sober second thought.

The scales of heedlessness have len from our eves. We have made up our minds to square every process of our national life again with the standards we SO proudly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration "We have itemized with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered and here are some of the chief items: tariff which cuts us off from our proper art in the commerce of the world, violates the just principles of taxation, and makes the government a facile instrument in the hands of priv ate interests. banking and currency sys tem based upon the necessity of the government to sell its bonds fifty years ago and perfectly "adapted to concentrating cash and restricting credits.

"A body of agricultural activi. ties never yet given the efficiency of great business undertakings or served as it should be through the instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm, or afforded the facilities of credit best suited to its practical needs; water courses undeveloped, waste places unreclaimed, forests untended, fast disappearing without plan or prospect or renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine. have studied as perhaps no other nation has the most ef fective means of production, but We have not studied cost 01' economy as we should either as organizers of industry, as statesmen, or as individuals. "Nor have we studied and per: fected the means by which government may be put at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the nation, the health of its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence.

This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of justice. There can 'be no equality of opportunity, the first essential of justice in the body politic, if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the quences of great industrial and social processes which they not alter, control, or singly cope with "Society must see to it that it does not itself crush or weaken or damage its own constituent parts. The first duty of law is to keep sound the society it serves.

Sanitary laws, pure food law, and laws determining conditions of labor which indivi duals are powerless to determine for themselves are intimate parts of the very business of justice and legal efficiency.

This is the high enterprise of the new day; to lift everything that con cerns our life as a nation to the light that shines from the hearthfire of every man's conscience and vision of the right. "It is inconceivable that we should do it in ignorance of the facts as they are or in blind haste. We shall restore, not stroy.

We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper to write upon; and step by step we shall make it what it should be, in the spirit of those who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge not shallow self satisfaction or the excitement of excursions whither they cannot tell. Justice, and only justice; shall always be our motto. 'And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn passion, stirred by the knowledge of wrong, of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an instrument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across our heart strings like some air out of God's own presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and the judge and the brother are Bert Waddle went to Osage City Monday on business.
