A GOOD ROADS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR ON THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET
About as good a way to study hu
man nature Is when you aro driving
on the public road. If a man Is
willing to observe the laws and tho
courtesies of the road, ho will duly
give his shnro of It when meeting
nnother, and show ho Is willing to
do the gentlemanly thing about It.
Hut when you meet one who takes
every advantage of those he moots,
and holds the road for his own sel
fish self, often to tho great discom
fort of those he meets, or will not !
nllow them ro pass, wo arc almost
sure to think of pork in connection
with such drivers of teams.

tV SHIP THAT SAILS ON I AN I).
A Herman nncinonr has lust in-

the Importance of the wind to the
aeronaut and the mariner, the Ger
mnn Inventor conceived the Idea that
It might be made to serve on land as

from rusting out, and the money

The feasibility of sailing easily
over tho frozen surfaces of rivers

as if the wind can render helpful
, service to some extent in connection
with locomotion over normal roads.
The sail vehicle Just Invented, Is
simple, and makes fair progress over
good roads and across sandy
stretches, such as a sea beach. The

Hon. William C. Sproul, whose

be called the father of the Good
Roads movement in Pennsylvania.
He Introduced the first bill In the
Senate to Improve Pennsylvania
roads, and last year he introduced a
bill providing for a complete system
of main highways to bo built and
maintained absolutely at the cost of
the State, also introduced a resolution
authorizing the State to Issue bonds
for "fifty million dollars ($50,000,

These suggestions met with the ap
proval of nearly all of tho leading
members of the Legislature and al
most fifty thousand signatures to pe
titions in favor of these bills were
presented to the House and Senate.
Senator Sproul has represented
Delaware county in the Senate con
tinuously since 1896 and is looked
upon ns the Republican leader of the
country members. He has yielded

he graduated from .Swarthmore Col

His business career started In the

other enterprises in Chester and in

CANNONISM IS DEAD; LONG LIVE
CANNON.
Cannonism consisted of enforcing
rules which had governed tho House
of Representatives for years and
which had been used by Democratic
and Republican speakers. These
rules wero necessary to tho making
of laws and shaping of legislation
which otherwise could be delayed
and hindered by nn irresponsible)
minority. Just as soon as theso rules
conflicted with tho personal .alms
and ambitions of a number of Con
gressmen of the dominant party, each
believing that his district was tho
"center of tho universe," and that all
legislation should ho for the benefit
of their constituents, rather than for
tho whole people, they Imitated tho
"thirty pieces of sllvor charactor" of
old, and joined forces with the enemy
to overthrow rules which onco they
were loud In their praises off.
Enough of them reponted In
time, so that tho motion to crucify
Old Undo Joo was lost. It Is to bo
hoped that their ropentnnco was sin
cere enough, to provunt their Demo
cratic friends from writing the epit
aph of "political sulcldo" over their
graves when they bury thorn next
fall.
