ORIGIN or GOOD ROADS
“.Jolt the Man Who Has the
Means,” the Historical Be
ginning of All Im
provement.
(Bv A. Y. Smith, author of the
State Highway Layv.)
It is a mistake to suppose that
good roads come with civiliza
tion or follow after civilization.
Neither does wealth and intelli
gence spell good roads every
time. I have preserved photo
graphs of roads taken by me in
different countries which dis
prove any such beliefs as that.
Leaving out of consideration
those roads which are built for
military or national purposes, it
is an intesting question just
what is the most potent factor in
bringing about road improve
ment.
It seems there is- only one
thing which will surely bring
good roads and that is serious
personal discomfort brought
home to the people who have the
means or the influence to have
the roads improved. So long as
any people, civilized, or unciv
ilized, can drive some animal, or
some serf or slave, through mud
and sand and get there without
too much trouble to themselves,
they will never build any reals
The wear and tear and financial
losses are not given much
thought, even in this country
where we pride ourselves on
good business methods. So it
is in England, which is civilized
and wealthy, yet many of their
rural roads are almost impass
able. The tenants who have to
use them are unable to help
themselves and the landlords
who ride about on horseback, ac
not suffer enough inconvenience
from the existing conditions to
cause them to take any interest
in the matter.
But in some towns in half civ
ilized China, they push the pas
sengers about in wheelbarrows
and there the roads are good be
cause a rough road would jolt
the man who has the money and
power and he sees the need of
good roads. And, in Japan, they
pull the passengers in little vehi
cles called “jinrickshas” anc
bad roads is nearly as hard or
passengers as it is on the mar
who pulls it- The result is th<
man who has the means get:
jolted on the rough places am
he helps to build good roads.
In Arabia, they are as w'el
civilized as in China. The peo
pie are quite as wealthy, but ii
! Arabia they have the wonderfu
camel to depend upon- and thej
have no roads at all. But, ii
Switzerland, w'here a farme:
walks beside his horse or o:
A _ 1. 1111 4-V»r\ l/\orl
ClliU Ui ICII
they build themselves the bes
of roads.
In this country, there is m
particular class to look to foi
road improvement or any othei
public undertaking and al
thinking people have more 01
less influence in the direction oi
public affairs. Our trouble lie
in the fact that the country k
new and that in its settlemerh
and development we have had tc
put up with many things whicf
| could not be helped and wen
! not therefore considered hard
ships. Lack of roads was one o:
them.,
Only in recent years have th
great masses of people been tak
jing advantage of many improve
i ments which conduce to person?

NOSE
and THROAT
in favor of good roads is grow
ing exactly as the desire of the :
people for more personal com- ]
fort and convenience in their i
homes, in their dress and in ev- !
erything else.
Me hear and read a lot about ||
the cost of bad roads and thejj
saving to business, i.uc.. by hav- j
ing good roads, but a few hours
of hard iotling, or a breakdown '
in the mud, will go further to ^
make a good roads advocate |
than all the facts and figures j]
you could compile in a year, j
Jolt the man who has the means. J
has been ‘he beginning of good j
roads all over the world, wheth- 5
er the country was rich or poor, J
civilized or uncivilized. J
The clamor for good roads now 5
in Arkansas is the working of I
the universal rule. The coun- I
try folk is going to town more I
and the town folk is coming out I
into the country more. \
The more the people travel. I
the more they get .jolted on our j
bad roads and the better boost- j
er- they become- And let us
hope that thinking people of
this state, who hold the power
and have the means within their
grasp, will soon get enough jolt
ing to start them to work with
whatever facilities we now have
to build some roads and stop
some leaks in our private ac
counts, as well as in the public
treasury.

I had been doing my housework.
I had pains in my loins which
came on suddenly. My back ach

most frantic. I had Heard so

This one box cured me and I
