According to the writer of the letter signed ‘“Interested’ in another col- umn efforts to overcome bad roads jand rutted roads are nothing new, ibut If it was impossible to overcome tat that time the deep tracked roads | made by a few but imposed upon the many, some degree of relief was ob- tained in the way of legislation snme) | years later for by a law which went into effect July first 1903, the width of tires were regulated in accordancej with the size of axle and that of] sourse governed the load that could be carried, It is with the same idea of proteet- ing the many users of the highway| whose vehicles are not of such weight! as to break down the structure under normal conditions that the limiting of londs is resorted to by the highway| commissioner. In the same way are bridges protected. It is a case of ex- cluding the few who may or may not be numbered among the highly taxed automobolists from destroying that which was never intended for such londs as are put upon freight cars. There is no more reason to expect| that heavily loaded trucks can be op- erated over improved roads without serious damage, any more than it could be oxpected that a heavy rail- road train could be run on a trolley track without raising havoc. It cannot be maintained that all highway construction is perfect, or that imnroved roads will stand the loads and use given permanent roads, or that what is now figured as péerma- nent roads can carry unlimited loads without showing the effects. Roads; unquestionably can be built that willj stand the ravages of heavy loads and the wear and tear provided the funds are provided to -builg them with, It! might mean money saved In the long| run but until that time comes it is to the adventage of users of present highways that they should be kept in the best possible state for the uses| of the many, Our roads haven’t worse the past winter neighboring states and they stand up quite as be expected when they are rated to- day as being the best in New Eag- land. That ig recson enough for In- terested to take his hat off to the| highway commissioner, suffered any than those in as a whole well as might MR. HOOVER SHEDS LIGHT. Ever gince the name of Herbert C.

UNDERGROUND MAIL SERVICE. By the action taken In the senate it is quite evident that the end of the (postal tubes has not been definitely reached. It has apparently gotten to the point, however, where a final de- \clslon must be made and without ab- {ruptly eliminating all possibility of utilising again what has been out of comumission for some time another ef- fort is to be made to determine whether the system should be allowed to go to the scrap heap or not. ‘There was an investigation preced- Ang the previous vote that denied the for the maintenance of such service.

This part of the country has suf- fered severely from the inability to get coal. It has suffered from the strike, from idle miners, the lack of means to move the coal, heavy weather which hag handicap- ped transportation. We have been: too much inclined in the past to delay getting our stock of coal and expect- ing to have it rushed in at a mo- ment's notice.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bible Proving ‘the Soul Immortal. Mr. Editor: While in Connecticut recently I saw your issue of March 3, containing statements by Mr. Urchtman of Westerly which are not at all warranted by Scripture, and of- fering “$100 for every text of Scrip- ture proving the’ soul immortal” I then began a note of disproof of his statements, but time would not per- mit its conclusion until now. First—I would say that hi ment that “tartarus” means or atmosphere of the earth” is utterly without facts behind it. I have just examined both the classic and Biblical use of the word, in se lexicons, and they .agree that word meant in both usages the place below Hades, as the Greeks used it and here to cast down to such a place. Second—Any rational use of the Bible or any other book bears in mind that the proof of a teaching in such book does not at all depend on its having abstract statements that = given thing is true. TFor instance, every time words llke “day” or “day- light” occur, sunrise is shown, to be believed, though not one statement like “the sun rises every morning” may occur. Plain implications are as strong proof of belief as such & eat- reason, is beyond me. I do mot wish to rob Mr. Urchman, but think his offer fairly met; and If he wishes to do as he said, his gift will go to our missionary work to reclaim the Mor- morns, as that is my work. REV.

Every implication of tmmortality in Biblical statements is proof to the contrary of Mr. U’s erroneous position. I pre- sume that there are at least many thousands of such passages. To note a few of the somewhat indirect pas- sages: There are over 4,000 verses, 1 believe, which use the word “God,” and over 2,000 using the words “man” or “woman,” (not to mention other terms denoting human nature); and since humanity was made in the spir- itual ‘image of God” (Gen. 1:28, 27 ), and He is immortal, it would be strictly true to make every occurrence of such words indirect proof of the immortality of the soul, would it not? But there are multitudes of other pas- sages with more direct impiications of the same fundamental truth. The Word of God is literally full of them. Opening my Bible at random, here are two out of perhaps a dozen on the two pages: “* * "hegotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurree- | tion from the dead. to antinheritance incorruptible '* * reserved inheav-| en for you,” (I Peter 1:33, “Let him know, that he which coverteth a sin- | ner from his error of his way shall| save a soul from death LRI (James 5:20). Let my friend look up the passages under Heaven, Ressur- rection, Salvation, Soul Immortal, ctc., in Inglis' Bible Text Cyclopedia, or some similar book, and he will find literally overwhelming abundance of texts in point, both of these indirect, Limiting Loads on Highways. Mr.. Editor: Your first editorial, on closing highways to heavy truel in this morning’s issue is very in - ing anq right in line with present day practice of “passing the buck.” What excuse have you or anyone else to offer for closing a highway when less than half of one per cent. of the road fails? When within less than 150 feet of the failure the high- way is sound and firm? Some 30 years ago the writer was interested in the matter of Iumber teams ruiting and tearing up the roads. Among the “cures” offered at that time was limiting the load to the width ef tires, but nothing came of it and it was about as sensible as the present proposal to limit the load to be carried. The only sane conclusion regarding the limiting of-loads to be carried by motor trucks or any other vehicle is that it is a comfortable way to “eat crow.” John Quincy was defiant even of the convention of dress. Notwithstanding he grew up in the courts of Europe, he was the most shabbily dressed man who has sat in the presidential chair. ‘wore the same hat 10 years. the Involuntary exclamation stranger who called on him at Quincy in vacation time and found him in a short jacket, striped jeans and an oid straw bhat.

Having also furnished the Kast room, the Jack- sonians held him up as a spendthrift, and the credulous folks out on the trontler were made to believe that this most ascetic man was squander- ing their morniey in a life of regal splendor. * ‘When he came up for re-election he was easily defeated by Jackson, and he remained the worst beaten president until Mr. Taft touched a new low-water mark more than 80 years afterward.

Within the present limits of the Massachusetts city of Quincy, the vis- itor may see what connot be seen = where else, the birthpl and the raves of two presidents, side by side. The chieftainship of every great nu- tion siil! passed from father to son uu- ti! the presidency of the United States wis created, when the first free-for-all race and an even start for the highest prize was opened to the sons of men rezardiess of the accidents of birth, In this fair test, new blood has won every time with only two exceptions in a century and a quarter. The result would be the same every- wiere. Not a monarch in Europe to- day conld have gained his throne in fair ccmpeition. Nature is a democrat. Even John Quincy Adams did not win the race, but wag outrun at the polls by Andrew Jackson, the som of &n immigrant. In bitter disappoin:- ment that he skould not have been elected by the pecple rather than' by coagress, he deciaréd that he would rafuse the office it hie could only bring about a new election. Surely no other president eves step; into the White House with sc )m gladness in his heart. 3 FPolitical parties baving disa; which we now will notice. Third—Direct proofs of immortali- ty. 1 wonder if my friend has ever noticed the wonderful passage IT Tim. 1:10, ** * & Jesus Christ, wha hath abolished death *56 (for His saved children), “and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel?”’ An in Rev. 20:13, 16, who are writien in “the book of life” ‘wer® not subject to the second death of the sinner, and hence had eternal life? And Christ's own words “ever- lasting fire,” and “everlasting destruc- tion,” show that the “death” of sin- ners is not extinction of existence, but continuance in ‘eternal sin,” or rebellion, by their free choice. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life etefnal”. (Matt. 25:46), is com- plete proof in itself, and from the lips of the Eternal, that both evil and good souls continue life forever—are immortal. David knew it: “I shall be_ satisfied, when I awake, with thy rightousness.” (Ps. 1M:15). “Neither can they die any more, for they are eual anqgels; and are the children of God. * * * (Luke 20:33); “I give spent is life. melancholy, he left Washington, as he said, “to go into the deepest retire- ment and withdraw from all connec- tlon with public affairs.” Yet these stretched unseen before this man of 62 the most useful and brilliant years of his career.
