liberal and the payments q great
deal easier to meet than those of
his home organization. And they
produced figures to prove it too.
But practical experience has proved
to the investor that figures will lie
on some occasions.
These national concerns are man
aged by high salaried officers who
are housed in elegant quarters.
They advertise in costly periodicals
and deluge the country with circu-
lars and pamphlets printed in the
most expensive manner. A local
agent in almost every town receives
Il liberal compensation for soliciting
mem bership, and vet many I'M
thinking people allow themselves
to be convinced that they are able
to proftably make larger returns
for their investment than the home
association, the entire expense OF
which is less per annum than the
salary of the janitor who cares fo1
the offices of the national concern.
Hundreds of these corporations
have gone to the wall in the past
few years, entailing the loss Of
thousands of dollars to those who
could i'll afford to stand it. Yet
there are still many more in exist
ence, some of them financially
sound, it is true, which are annu
ally taking thousands of dollars Out
of the community where it belongs
and wasting it elsewhere. Thest
companies have been well nance
rich mems companies. They
are promoted and fostered by CAPT
talists, who use the monthly stipend
of the workingman and man O
moderate means to augment thei1
own bank account.
Saying nothing of the local pride
and the advantage to be gained b,
keeping ones sayings IN ms owr
community, business sense should
teach any one that these expensivel,
! conducted companies. with thei
costly payroll, cannot honestly offe
he inducements for safe invest
ment that the local association
with its economical methods o
management, can.

The county worked under these
systems until 1888, when the legis-
lature passed law providing for
county treasurer, and new method
of collection. Experience has dem
onstrated the wisdom of the new
law. The system has worked ad-
mirably.
Since the appointment of a trea-
surer the county's liabilities have
always been paid at maturity and
many of them before maturity. Nc
suit has been entered against the
county for claim which had been
levied so far as | know. No suits
have been made upon the treasurer's
bond and the credit of the County
is frst-class. Her standing at the
comptroller's office in Annapolis,
as shown by the comptroller report
is frst-class. Many of the counties
are adopting the treasury system
and their experience will doubtless
be similar to that of Garrett county.
The people know where and when
to pay taxes and the creditors of
the county know where to 90 for
their money.

Justice White,

W WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 49,
Edward Douglass White. who was
to-day nominated to fill the vacancy
IN the Supreme bench caused by
the death of Justice Blatchford. is
one Of the best known and most
popular men the State of Louisiana
'ver sent to Congress. He has
been member Of the United States
Senate for three years, and had nc
expectation Of being anything else
but a Senator for the remainder OF
his slxyear term until he was asked
to accept the important judicial 20
sltion for which ne has been nomi-
mated.
Senator White is a native of the
parish of Lafourche, having been
corn there in November, 1915. His
earlier education was received at
Mount st. Mary's, near Emmits-
burg, Md. and the Jesuit College
IN New Orleans. The finishing

College. He served in the confed
crate army and at the close of the
war took up the study of law. Three
years later he was licensed to prac-
tice by the supreme court of Louis
lana. Interested in political affairs
he achieved the distinction CT seat
IN the State Senate in 1874; was
appointed associate justice of the
supreme court Of Louisiana in 1873,
and when Senator Eustis was retired
was elected to the United States
Senate.
PROMPTLY CONFIRMED.
There was no opposition to the
appointment Of Judge White, and
after speech of explanation from
Senator Hill, in which he eulogizod
the appointee, the Senate confirmed
the nomination without referring
it to the usual committee.

A Good Word for the Newspaper.


At a recent business convention
Governor Francis, of Missouri, who
is in a position to know whereof he
speaks, paid tribute to the local
newspaper as follows:
each year the local paper gives
from $500 to s., 900 in free lines to
the community in which it is loca-
ted. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, IN proportion
to his means, does more for his
town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness with men he ought to
be supported-not because you like
him or admire his writings, but
because the local paper is the best
investment community can make.
1t may not be brilliantly edited or
crowded With thought, bat finan-
cially it is Of more benefit to the
community than the teacher or
preacher. Understand me. | do
not mean mentally or morally, bur
municipality, and vet on the moral
question You will find most of the
local papers on the right side. To-
daV the editors Of the home papers
do the most for the least money of
any people on the face of the earth.

THU RSDAY, FEB. p, 1894.

THE election in Pennsylvania
Tuesday for Congressman-at-large
resulted in the defeat of the Demo
cratic candidate by nearly 1G5, 900.
This is the first time in the history
of the State that the Republicans
carried it by such a tremendous
majority, but is only foretaste OF
the battle royal to be fought in 1896,
when the whole country will be il

The Senatorial Yoke,

The defeat Of the administration
on the Peckham appointment is
not particularly impressive, since
1t was really done by Republican
votes. Twcnty-seyen Republican
Senators gave their support to Hill
and two did not vote. Only eight
Republican Senator's voted for con-
firmation. With al this Republi-
can support Hill was able to defeat
the nomination by a majority of
nine votes, so that while he has
achieved a personal victory, he sus-
tains a party defeat.

Building and Loan Associations.

ouuCllIlS ana Loan ASSOCIATIONS
Building and loan associations
have become very popular in lat,
years and have been the means of
teaching people of moderate means
lessons in economy and enabling
them to become owners of their
homes instead of paying rent. Di-
rected and managed with business
prudence, they are great factors in
promoting the growth and adding
to the wealth of a town or city. No
sooner were their usefulness and
popularity demonstrated than their
idea was seized upon by SPECTATORS
throughout the country, and so
called national associations
sprang up thicker than mushrooms
after an autumn ram.
The conservative and safe meth
DDS OF the local associations were
improved upon to such an extent
that, according to prospectuses of

The Penalty of Bad Roads

Western soil is especially adapted
to raising farm products. For thls
reason good roads must be the
work of art rather than of nature.
And the greater the crops the more
necessity there is for easy transpor-
tatioD from the farm to the eleva-
tors.
1t has been estimated that good
roads would increase the value Of
two-thirds Of the good farms in the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys $40
an acre. In addition to the differ
ence in the cost of hauling should
be considered the great amount OF
vegetables, garden and dairy pro-
duets which are shipped by rail
from long distances.
Under our present system of dirt
roads it is not profitable to make
garden very far from the city
market. Farmers living or 10
miles from the city find it difficult
to supply customers regularly. AS
a result they raise only enough to
sup their own wants and trnst to
thu eral market for the disposal
of er and eggs when they come
to town.
But conditions are such that O
great many reach market at the
same time, and after few DAYS Of
scarcity in fresh goods carry an
abundance which breaks the market.
With gravel or macadam roads far
mers would find gardens profitable,
and they could make daily or tri-
weekly trips with regularity which
would benefit themselves and Their
customers alike.
In large cities the trade has been
forced to keep a good supply Of
fresh articles constantly on hand,
and having learned that the home
gardeners are not reliably regular
they have arranged for receipts
from other sections, frequently
from other states, at an extraordi-
nary expense. Thus the farmer
not only lOOses a near market, but
consumers pay for transportation,
packing and losses, besides getting
staler food.
When local conditions ale favor
able, the city dealer dares not trans
fer his trade to the market gardens
near home, but must continue TO
trade abroad at greater cost because
his correspondents will not submit
to irregularity. 1t is plain that
both town and country suffer for
lack of reliable ds.-Kansas City
