A Penalty for Bad Roads.

Mrs. Moulden has just recovered against
the Commissioners of Montgomery county a
verdict for $4,000 damages for personal in
juries received by reason of a bad road in
that county. The award and costs will
swell the bill to about $4,000. The Sun, in
noticing this case, says:
Here, as elsewhere in Maryland, will be
found the need for skilled experts to super
wise both the making and the preservation of
roads. The interests of Montgomery county
would seem to coincide well with the views
lately expressed by large and intelligent
meeting of Hartford county farmers, which
demanded the appointment of State engin-
eer OF roads, to be supported by staff of one
engineer in every county, to make the roads
solid in the first place, and to keep them in
good repair all the year round. 1t is not
alone in Montgomery, or Hartford, or Balti-
more county that more intelligent and sys-
tematic attention should be given to this i'm
portant matter, but in every county of Mary
land. Whether the plan suggested by the
Hartford farmers should be followed remains
for the Legislature to determine, but it may
be claimed that Maryland farmers will more
surely consult their interests and the COM
mon good by voting for Delegates and Sena-
tors properly imbued with sense of the i'm
portance of the road question than for men
interested simply in promoting the personal
interests of political aspirants to places with
in the gift of the Legislature. Good re ads
are of more Importance than politics, such as
we sometimes see influencing voters against
their best interests, local and general.

Romance.

The magazine which contains the tales of the
famous New York Story Club has at once
achieved remarkable success. The first num-
Der was the number for February, and the full
edition was sold out before the March number
was issued. The original plans for the conduct
ing of the magazine have been broadened, its
number of pages has been increased, and for
once at least, a magazine has sprung into full
life with its first number.
The March number contains twenty short
stories, all of the character that the Story Club
was organized to emphasize, namely, stories
full of action-stories that really tell something
and not stories that are in any way morbid or
namby-pamby. The writers for the March
number are Maurice Thompson, Rudyard Kip
ling, Guy de Maupassant, Richard York, NJ.
Betham Edwards, Edith Sessions Upper and
other writers of equal force and popularity.
The initial story in this number by the famous
California story writer, Mr.. w. c. Morrow, is
one of the most dramatic short stories that has
appeared in popular literature since the days of
Poe.
The price of Romance is only % cents a num-
Der, and specimen number will be sent on ap-
