MUCH INTEREST IN ROAD IMPROVEMENT Shown in the Middle West, C. P..Light Reports, After Extensive Tour.
(Palladium Special.) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 17. That such states as Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska are more stirred up over the nation-wide movement for the betterment of public roads than they are over the Presidential Political situation was the assertion of Charles P. Light, field secretary for the American Association for Highway Improvement, after returning from the most extensive trip ever made in the interest of the road movement. Mr., Light visited large and small cities in the west, aiding in the work of organizing associations to be affiliated with the American Association for Highway Improvement. He insists -that the West is far more excited about outdistancing the east in the , matter of improved public roads than it is about the personalities of the candidates for the Presidency. "I mingled with all kinds of people," said Mr. Light, and found them all talk
road movement, which they consider the most' important campaign ever undertaken with a view to increasing the property of the whole country. The people in the west realize that prosperity must be increased and they believe that the way to increase it is not artificially by legislation, but ' fundamentally by improving the roads of the country and thus enabling the farmer to ship his products at all season of the year, reducing the cost of hauling, and eventually bringing the cost of living down to normal. "The one thing that we are urging In the. west now is skilled supervision of the highways and the elimination of politics. If the west will employ none but skilled engineers and eliminate politics from the supervision of the roads, a bigger return will be obtained from the millions that are being invested."

EXAGGERATION. Exaggeration is neither thoughtful, wise nor safe. It is a proof of the weakness of the understanding or the want of discernment of him that utters it, so that, even when he speaks the truth, he soon finds it is received with suspicion or utter unbelief.
