! DIRECT INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE.
! Inan address at a Virginia good
i road convention. United States Sen
i ator Daniel epoke on the economy
j and benefits of good highway, iart
' of which we. reproduce, as It furnish
j es Pome nouud thought for ourfiran
i ville people to eonpider:
i "A good road is a universal public
j benefaction. There is not a single
! member of the community who does
' not receive advantage and pleasure
froni it. Jt is the most domestic of
all public institutions. A court house
is for litigants, an asylum is for the
infirm, a jail for criminals, a theatre
for entertainment, a park for recrea
tion, a school for instruction, a
cliuich for worhipers, a hotel for
wayfarers: but a good road is for
evervbody aint and dinner, man,
woman anil child, maid and matron,
young and old, rich and poor,
healthy and sick, the lame, the halt
I and the blind all get a share of ben
: efit from a good road.
"A good road is a mark of the
I progress of the community in which
it is located. Show me a good road
! and I will confidently say of the peo
ple of the community, 'They are up
' and doing: they are going forward
A good road is no transient and fickle
i satisfaction. It is a stayer. Night
' and day, winter or summer, autumn
; or spring, it is the general public ser
i vant, 'a friend that stlcketh closer
I than a brother.'
"A good road is a generator and a
i radiator of benefit to ail who live
upon it. A man likes to locate in a
' land of good roads. They are the
; lightning rods to attract intelligent
! settlers. A good road Is a laitfiiui
friend and a cheerful companion. It
is the best investment and the best
of advertisements. Jt is a poster
that nobody wants to deface and
that vou caat pull down.
"This is a country in which you
have got to build roads after the old
Koinan fashion or after the fashion
of the good roads train build th-m
to Htay built. In a country of this
kind there is no economy in building
what you might call a 'tolerable
road' unless you are on the top of a
fair plateau where nature has given
you a good grade. In Prince Kd
ward county the enterprising people
of Farmville and vicinity have built
a good road according to modern
ideas from Farmviile out to old
Harapden-Sidney college. At any
time you go there you can find the
farmers, witn their four-horse and
-ix horse teams carrying their tobac
co and other products to this road.
As -oon as they st rike this good road
they take out all but two horses and
go merrily jogging on to town, send
ing the rest of the horses back to the
plantation. There is an object les
son for you and one which illustrates
the economy of good roads.
"What will a road save? First, it
will save time. That is the most im
portant thiug in your life that you
ought to save, because a little slice
of time is all that the Creator has al
lowed any of us here out of the great
eternity. Whoever can save time
prolongs, his life on earth to that ex
tent. In the next place, you can save
material by having a good road.
This is a department of the matter
which the statistician haw never thor
oughly investigated nor the historian
recounted. Put your experience tells
you this: A stretch of muddy road
means the breakage of harness, the
straining of vehicles, ruined paint
and varnish on your buggies and
many other petty losses, which
amount to a great deal In the aggre-
ga te. Then there is a great saving
of animal life resulting from good
roads. It ruliJH a good horse to work !
him hard on a bad road. Look at
the horses that are strained. Think
of the Increased number of horses
you have to use on a bad road. Then
think of the difference between bad
and good roads to man himself. If
he starts with hi produce to town,
ten, fifteen or twenty miles away
over a bad road, he cannot get there
and sell it before breakfast. Put on
a good road he can bring his produce
with the dew of the morning upon it
ten or even fifteen miles to town and
get it to market while it is most val- :
uable." j
Think for a moment of the effect i
upon the man himself. Pet him have 1
a rickety wagon and a bad horse and i
twenty miles to go to town through
such mud as we have up lnthlscoun- j
try and he will be ready by the time
lie gets th re to appreciate the legend
written on a dial In Spain with re-
fere rice to the Hying mornentH, "Pach
one wounds, the last kills." Put U
In; Is journeying upon a. good road
pleasant thoughts come to him. He
has opportunity to tal e In whatever
1h pleasant around him. lie will en
joy conversation with his compan- ;
Ions, and when he gets to town he is j
a rational, contented man, ready to '
face the next duty In life, whatever It
may be. j
"Put it is not only in saying that ,
good rondHnreeconomical. See what'
they produce increasing popula tlon, j
better, society, better sciioolnand In- ! (
! creased value of property. Just as j
soon as you get a good road In your i
neighborhood the value of your'land ' (
upon each side of it will more than i
pay for Its building. There iH not a
single tiling that you can suggest, In
the way of public, enterprise which
onVrs a more immediate, arid more
certain return for your investment
than good road.
