The object of the convention is one
which appeals to the interest of every
citizen of Maryland. The situation of
our State with reference to the Ma
tional capital and the large cities of
the eastern scabOard ought to make
our land more valuable than it is,
and Il system of good roads would
doubtless have II wonderful effect
upon the price of farm lands and
greatly stimulate general prosperity.
The attention now given to the road
question in Hartford is an evidence
that the people of the county are
awakening to the necessity of decided
action on the subject, and for this rea-
son we hope Hartford will be represent
ed at this State convention by many
of her foremost and best citizens.
The Baltimore american, in an ar
ticle setting forth the advantage to
the farmer of good roads and speak
ing favorably of the proposed State
Road Convention says:
at is this Importance of good roads
to the farmer which the January con
vention should especially have in
view when the full realization of the
effects of the reform have been
brought home to those most interested.
The first great step i'll the direction
of the reform has been taken, and the
improvement ought to follow us Il mat
ter of course. The next, we imagine.
should be to show the farmer how
easy it is to secure better roads when
once he has made up his mind that
they are absolutely necessary. \
community cannot by II wave of the
magical wand create at once mag
nificent system of thoroughfares
such as they have in some of the
countries of Europe which it took Il
thousand years to perfect, but it can
have very much better roads than are
now to be found in the agricultural
districts of Maryland by spending
judiciously and Systematically the
money which is ordinarily levied for
the roads. To do this men must be
put in charge of the roads because
they know how to build or repair
roads and not because they or t cir
friends control SO many votes or have
done some political service to a party

The Deer Creek Farmers Club


The Deer Creek Farmers Club
held pleasant and satisfactory COS
ference, last Monday, at Walker $
Eagle Hotel, Bel Air, with the County
Commissioners and General Road
Supervisors of the county with refer
ence to changes in the administration
of road funds So as to get better results
from the amount expended. The
plan, "a outlined at the meeting on
Saturday contemplateS no changes in
the existing law, but merely the intro
duction of business methods in con
nection with road-mendin2. 1t was
stated at the meeting that a method
similar to the one proposed has been
pursued for several years, in the sec
ond district of our county, with most
excellent results The experience of
the Darlington Road League, which
has also been in the line of improve
inent proposed, demonstrates its add
visibility. 1t was shown at the meet
ing that neither the County Commits
sionerS nor the General Road Super
visors are responsible for the large in
crease of taxation for road purposes,
and it is only sought to fix the respon-
sibility for road expenditures where it
ought belong. We are convinced
that if the change, which can be made
without legislative action, We're insti-
tuted the result would be as good
roads, ut least, as we now have and at
Il lower cost to taxpayers. The meet
ing on Monday was Il large and repre-
sentative one and the sentiment was
clearly in favor of trying the expert
ment

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

We like the idea of the New York
Academy of Medicine, to petition Con-
gress to establish a National Health
Bureau within the jurisdiction of the
Treasury Department.
According to report in the New York
Times, the plan is ''to divide the country
into nine sanitary DISTRICTS and to place
the bureau in charge of q commission of
fifteen mem bers, of whom eleven would
be appointed by the President, one from
each sanitary district and two from the
country at large. The other four would
be the SUPERINTENDENT of the army, the
navy and the Marine Hospital Service
and AN officer learned in the law de-
tailed by the Attorney-General from the
Department of Justice The only hint
as to the general jurisdiction of the
bureau is contained in the declaration
that the commission shall establish all
rules and regulations for the govern
ment of national sanitation in all its for
eign and interstate relations and special
departments in the enforcement of the
provisions of this Act"
OF course the action of the bureau as to
other matters, or of sanitation in general,
would not be jurisdictional over the
States-but only advisory, precisely as
the case with the Educational Bureau
the Weather Signal Service, and other
matters in which the National Govern
ment makes the common welfare a mat
ter of concern. But when it came to
the matter Of the introduction of conta-
gious and infectious diseases from abroad
the bureau would have constitutions
jurisdiction, and it is right at that point
where it would prove most useful,
though its high value in educating the
public mind on the subject of prevent
able disease, and in the proper sanitation
of towns. cities and houses, would not
only never be denied, but its advice
would be received by the States CRATE
fully-the question of jurisdiction would
indeed never be raised, because it 10 not
proposed that the bureau shall attempt to
enforce its DEGREES.
All the people of America need to put
them into the right path in any direction
is information. After that in due time
comes conviction and then action is a
matter Of course. So that infringement

per cent. and the Constitution now
gives her forty years instead of twenty
in which to pay up. That is to say, she
must put aside one-fortieth each year in
stead OF one-twentieth as heretofore. So
that if she chooses to correct her error,
this fine Southern California county
which boasts that she has the best soil,
raises the finest oranges, the best semi
tropical fruits, some of the best grapes
and much grain, and in all resources is
God-blessed, can rid herself of two-thirds
OF that terrible road tax, and still have
the best of roads and all the benefits that
flow from them-they suggest themselves
to every reader.
But it is perfectly safe to say that she
will not do it. That county has not certi-
ned delegates to the State Road Conven-
ton. She will not pay the expenses of
her County Surveyor to come to that i'm
portant convocation. She does not, evil

ideas about good roads. She prefers her

burrs, and her sand and dirt, her sweat
ing teams, dust, loss of time, and all the
sins. evils and retrogression of the old
system.

The Boston Journal has reopened the
debate concerning the use of the words
female. woman, lady" Why should
there be any confusion about it? "Fe-
male" term applicable to half of ami
mai creation, should not be employed
when speaking of woman-that is evil
dent to any fairly intelligent person.
Woman is the word to use, with few
rare exceptions under conventionality.
Thus, speaker properly addresses a
mixed audience Ladies' and Gentle
men," But here the word lady is used in
a general sense, as is the word gentle
men," and Is meant to indicate respectful
and complimentary address. But it was
our fortune to hear one of the most brill
liant and accomplished of orators, Colo
mel E. D. Baker, begin an Grafton "Men
and Women of California"
Some people consider the word lady,
says our contemporary, as others do Jew
elry or fine clothing, and the use of the
WOTu WOudu as coarse ana I6Velllng.
The supposed roughness of the latter
word, however, appears to be wholly lost
when related to a qualifier, as young
woman" The absurdity in the uses of
these words is sometimes ludicrous
Bishop Warren tells of seeing on wall
in house, diploma from Female
Academy" and in the library volume
entitled Female Holiness" as if an
academy can be of sex, or holiness
either. But while convention may palli-
ate, and even does excuse and Justify
some such cases. nothing can excuse the
reporter of meeting who spoke of the
presiding officer as "chsirlady." The
simple truth is that female cannot be
properly used as Synonymous with
woman. What is the matter with the
latter word? There is no better word
than man, why should there be any fear
about using that other noble word woman?
While convention encourages the use of
the word lady in the same complimentary
sense that gentleman is used. yet as the
Journal well says, it is something that is
reserved rather for social usage, and has
not the sturdy strength and nobility of
woman"

There have been few other instances

Just possible, too, that in this case the

good memory and has been taught to
memorize a great many things, sayings
and writings. Such things have been
done. When we come to the statement,
however, that the child wrote thesis on
a subject given by the examiners we are
staggered. Either the report is greatly
exaggerated, the examiners false, or the
child is marvel of the age.

A PLAIN BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Among the arguments used by the an
tagonists of the pure, clear water PROPOSE
ton is one that is grounded in a false as
sumption-that the driven-well water
will create scale in boilers. In the first
place this is statement without sufficient
proof; in the second place the negative is
based upon proof positive. For there are
boilers in use in the city and it's vicinity
that have been supplied for years with
the driven we'll water of the east side, and
have occasioned no trouble because of
scale. Nevertheless, the few opponents
OF the clear water proposition continue to
repeat the charge. Does it not occur to
these citizens that they would hold it
most unjust, were a charge laid at their
door, to have people assume that they are
guilty without an iota of testimony being
advanced in support?
Another charge is that the clear water
will not make malt liquors. This is
equally untrue. Malt liquors have been
made of the east-side water for many
years. and their excellence has never
been even challenged.
Another charge of the fast diminishing
number of opponents is that the city's
water pipes cost her 81, 0Oo, 900 and now it
is proposed to turn them over to out
siders to use and control. This latter
statement is a flat talsity; it can be classed
in no other category.
Still another invention of the enemies
of the clear water experiment is that it
will increase taxation, raise water rates,
and lessen payments on the city debt.
This is also mere assumption. The buy
ing of water at Thirty first street in no
respect changes, varies or affects the
water-rate system in any detail, except
that instead of buying at the river as now,
remain as it is, except that we are to get
pressure enough to satisfy the fire
department. No one NEEDLES with or
can interfere with the city economies
even if SO minded the laws prevent them.
Sacramento will surrender no right, part
with no privileges, create no debt, in
crease no tax by making the proposed
experiment.
In all this matter there is no occasion
for heat, nothing to excuse misrepresent-
alton or untairness. 1t is not political
question; it is not one at all affecting faith
of any kind. 1t should be considered as
business proposition with calmness
and becoming gravity. No one should
want anything but the truth concerning
it advanced on either side.
The RECoRD-UNIoN believes it wise,
progressive and economic to vote for the
experiment. 1t believes it to be unwse
and detrimental to the best interests of
all the people to vote against it. That's
the whole field of our contention.

upon the police powers of the States is
not contemplated by the establishment
of the proposed bureau. But the function
of the bureau would be so much wider
and greater than could any set up by the
State, that the resultant benefits would
be proportionately greater. The Federal
Government through it's foreign agencies
and its intercourse with other Govern
ments, and by reason of the fact that it is
recognized everywhere, whereas States
OF the union are not officially known
abroad, could command information that
could be had through no other channel so
well. Then, too, there is something
about the dignity of the Federal Govern
ment that gives to its Investigations
greater weight and Importance.

agement of art, in the furthering of edu-

to perform in gathering and disseminat-
ing information regarding house drain
age, distinction, the destruction of ma

denies, the clearance of streams and the
sanitation of water-courses, the proper
kinds OF water for domestic uses and the
best means of conveying it, and so Oh
through long chapter of titles which
suggest themselves to usS In reply to the
Times we concede that such bureau as
is suggested would have no jurisdiction
in law over any of the States, but we do
not believe that it would be less practical
for that reason. The same objection would
apply to any one of half dozen import
ant bureaus now maintained by the Fed
eral Government. but with not one Of
which the people would now dispense.
