If t here is any on class 0 four people deserving of Hpccial favor at thc hands of the government it is the agricultural class , or ! ltricUy spcaking , the farmcrs. No class of peoplc ha ever done so much for the United States as the farming people. 'l'he farlll- ers talllcd the continet from a wilderness and made our country the \'ery garden of fhe world , au- nually furnishing about 70 per cent of our national exports , In respect of what they have done for the govcrumcnt theV , nced no herald ; in respect of what they desen'e at the hat1h of the g v- ernmcnt cvery patriotic citizen in public as well as private life , should be thl'ir advocate. 'l'he farmers of the United States , pallent and determined , have made no demands , though beu- iug the heaviest burdens of life since the Hepublic was instituted. 'l'he time has co l1e when they mU3t have relict. UlJder present highway conditions most e\'ery- where the American farmer is practically imprisoned at home' through alleast the half of cach year. . 'l'hat half of the year i the tuue when he could he best sparcd from the farm , and whell , with good roads , he could market Ius products at a profit for l toil. Now , however , he must leave the farm in summer or ear.l ) ' fall-the only time when the roads arc passable-to market his products , amI then always on a congested market , or take the chances ou a hub-deep haul that kills his stock , breaks wagc.n and harness , wears out the man and eats up the fruit of his sweat. 1'he good-roads season for the American farmer is the very season when his whole time anll attention should be given to his farm operations , it is the crop Iteason which waits for lIO man , and which , neglected , charges if up to the man behind the plo\'v We all know what that means. With good roads , the farmer could do his town-going in rain or snow , or when the ground is too wet to plow ; with bad roads as they are now , as they havc been from the beginning and as they will be until the government of the Unitcd States extcnds it aid aR su"gestcd " in the Brown' 10w-I-4atimcr bill , he must be the great national suffercr. It ha : been calculated b.\ ' the Depart , ment of Agriculture that ever. ) time the sun Rets the bad rotuI ! of the United States cost tlH American farmers $1,500.000 r 'l'hcse arc governmcnt figures How any public man can refust . to support legislation that wil - stop this dreadful drain passc : tlte ttlutcrstanding of the averagl mind. Can the National Con science uUll the National 'l'hough be unmoved at face with such ; condition ? Are the people them seh'es asleep to their own mater ial salv < &tion ? How long cal this sapping of farm life ani farm vitality " 0 on before th4 American farm home is destroyed And how long , pray tell , can th l elfUblic stand after the des trnction of the American fartl home ? We hope to see the suggestel t good-roads legislation go t hrougl Congress the coming winter. I will. if the people get togethe and dell1and it. 14et neighbOl hood and county meetings be hel everywhere and petitions go 1'01 ward to Senators and Represeu tatives.

" " ' M' ' ' ' ' ' 'W' systcnt of improved highways in I ' tbe country. Its editor knows that no systematic highway iUt- { Jrovement can be had except by a great national movement , such as has been ou t-lincd in the Brownlow-Latimer bilJs tit Con- gress. The p ople of this State have an interest in the highwa's ' of its sister States , Highway 'travel docs not &top at State lines Bnv morc than r'er transportation - tation stops where the water- Wa\yR \ pass from one State to an. othcJ' , or railroad trallsportation w.here the railroads. cross State lines. Highway improvement is sooner or latrr to be' recognized as it function of the government. 'l'hc Government comprises a \ union of States of mutual inter- eRts , and interdependent , each obligated to thc other in a compact - pact for the general national wel- fare. We do liLt believe any question , prcsent or prohlem , is more pregnallt with importtlnce to all the peopte than that of na- ionat aid to good roads , and we want to suggest to our readers thlt the only way this 1 d ' can e secured iR for the people to demand it. ' 1'he Senate Commit - mit tee on Agriculture a year ago favora1Jly reported on the Lati- mer bilJ , it being substantially a covy of the Brownlow bill which was earlier offered in the House. ' [ 'he bi1Js will bc rc-i n trod uced on the assembling of the 59th Con- gress. If the people who f avdr national aid will write to thcir SenatorB and Hepresentative ! ! , insisting upon the measure , the titt.e , diffcrence in the two bills will be e iminated and the 01 e thus agreed upon will be passed. It iA ! all with the people them- selves. One citizeu is as much obligated as another in the mat- ter. No citizen is so humble but that he has the right of petition. Ev ry citizen can afford the time to write. He can attend th'e couuty meetings that should be held everywhere to emphasize the demand for government help 'to better roads. lIe can sign a petition - tition with his neighbors asking Congrcss to give this relict. He can write to his Senator for Senate - ate Document No. 204 , study of which will enable him to talle good roads to others. Sino 'flw IIIggclt ! ' 1'f.t\I ! 'l'he New York Sun timely sa's that thc congress , under the direct - rect stimulus of President Hoose- Y J.t , has taken comprehensive nd expensive measurcs for the increase of the forcst area. Areas measuring m re square miles.'thau ' many a principaJity have been d dicated to the growth of tim- ber. Scientific forestry has been brought into bcing in order to preserve the r.treams which ma ) ' water the semi-arid reg ons np leg : than to provide a "supply of timber which under well regu- I lated systems of cutting may , maintain the lumb r industry , which , left to itself and the die'- , lates of selfishness , has committed - ' ted suicide with its own broad axes. For these purposes the e - , penditure of many mil1ions of dQlars ) has been authorized. t Cpugress , however , has. neglected - glected to provide a pittance for the prescf\'ation of such a monument - ment of Go 's OW11 forestry as I m3n's puny care can never hope to reproduce. Th is n glect has continued so pointedly thrpugh- out the last ( h'c years that it may I almost be reg-arlled as neglect : no longer , but positi\'e refusal.
