session Ialk.
A correspondent of the Baltimore
Meas writing under date of January
Goth. thus treats the much talked-of
call of the Governor for an extra ses-
sion of the Maryland Legislature
The interview with Governor Smith
recently reported in a morning paper
appears to be an apology in advance
for the extraordinary session of the
Legislature he proposes to call. The
reasons he advances and the manner
of stating them reveal our Executive
as a pronounced weakling, apparent
ly under the control of a stronger and
perhaps unseen hand.
His first excuse is desire to abolish
bribery. This crime has existed for
more than a score of years, largely in
Worcester county, his own home, and
few men in the State have had more
or better opportunities than he has
had to know the full extent of this
lawless practice; and perhaps a por-
tion of his princely contributions to
the campaign fund of 1899 that assist
ed in his own election may have been
expended by some of his wicked po-
litical partners to bride the voters of
the Eastern Shore, for it is a fact that
the peerless Bryan secured nearly
1000 less votes in this portion of the
State in 1890 than the sage of Wor-
cester received in 1899. The other
counties of the State where vote buy
ing is not largely known as political
accomplishment show no such rela-
tive fluctuation. 1t was currently re-
ported during last fall that the Dem
otratic party had no election funds
east of the bay, as it had spent all of
its available cash in 1899
No one doubts the natural affilia-
ton of the colored vote. Those who
can read. as well as the illiterate, are
with the Republican party; hence
the buying of any part of the vote
must of necessity commence with the
party that has not got it, but wants
it. And this is Governor Smiths par
ty. The conditions now existing are
not new. Why did not our Jealous
Governor use his great influence with
the last Legislature, which has been
away from the Capital less than 1C
months, not long enough for its NAL
Odorous record to be forgotten Did
not the Sun say editorially on April
., 1900: THE Legislature of Mary
land adjourns at midnight tonight.
If it had never met, the people of Ma
ryland and the Democratic party
would have been better off. The
Democratic Legislature of 1900 takes
the cake as a body utterly out OF
touch with the people and conspicu,
ously Indifferent to public interests
Besides taking the cake it might
just as well have taken everything
else in sight, including the State
House, which seems to have become
of no further use to the people. The
result of this legislative session may
be grand inquest by the people OIL
the Democratic party at the next
State election" This body, so forci
bly, described by the Sun, was succep
tible to the Governors influence

of the corrupt-practices act 1t would
have become law had he so desired

the expenditure of the road funds to
comply with the modern requirements
for road improvement. There has
been no decided rush to extend the
roads of the counties, but the idea of
making the best use of the public
moneys available for road improve
ment has been adopted, and it is like
ly that in the future the roads of the
State will become what they ought
to be-safe, solid, substantial high
ways for the traffic of the farmers,
and procured at cost certainly not
greater, and in some instances less,
than they have involved for years
past under the old system.
In Allegany county, the Commits
sioners have received a letter from
Congressman Pearre Offering to pro-
cure for them through the Agricultu-
raj Department the services of one of
its agents to instruct the people in
the method and superintend the max
ing of model highways. 1t is pro-
posed to construct under their super
vision a sample of roadway from a
quarter of mile to a mile in length
over the most travelled portion of the
county, in order that the people may
see the advantages of properly con-
structed roads and have the idea of
construction followed out in all road
building in the county hereafter. The
county is to bear the expense of con-
structing the sample road, but the
services of the Government experts
are to be given free to the Allegany
countians. In this way the county
will secure the benefits of the scien-
tific knowledge these men have of
road-making. The awakening to the
good-roads movement has been slow
in this State, but there has always
been strong sentiment in favor of
better highways among the enterpris-
ing farmers. Not until the present
time has it been possible to secure
State and Government aid in the fur
therance of good bodybuilding. 1t is
creditable to the public spirit of the
men controlling these interests in the
counties that they have been prompt
in their recognition of the opportu-
nifty that presents itself for bringing
the roads of their districts up to the
very best standard baltic. NeaCS.

THE GOVERNMENT WILL AID.
Representative Pearre is Anxious That AL
legany Have Good Roads.

IL FiHhlOus liidt Al
legany Have Good Roads.
Representative George A. Pearre of
the Sixth Maryland district, has writ
ten the members of the board of Allie
gany county commissioners to lay
before them suggestion, which he
thinks will be of great benefit to the
county. Under an existing law there
is a division of road inquiries attached
to the Agricultural Department. The
purpose of the establishment of this
division is to ascertain the best meth
DDS of making roads in the various
states, and to lend such aid as may
be in it's power and within the appro-
priations of Congress to the various
states in model road making. This
branch of the inquiry and work in
connection with the Agricultural De-
partment is new, and Col. Pearre is
anxious that the people of Allegany
county should have the benefit of
the scientific knowledge, which the
experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment possess.
Col. Pearre believes that he can ar
range, through the Agricultural De-
partment, to send one of its agents to
Allegany county to instruct the peo-
pie in this work, and to superintend
the making of sample piece of road,
say a quarter of mile. a half mile
or a mile in length. The expense of
providing material and labor. of
course, must be borne by the county,
but the government sends its men
and pays their expenses. If the county
commissioners are now engaged in
improving any portion of the county
roads, it might be well to arrange to
have a sample road constructed in
some portion of the public highways
in the coming spring.
Col. Pearre suggests that the board
take some action looking to this re-
suit and communicate with him in
order that he may have definite
basis upon which to work at the De-
partment of Agriculture. The benefit
of this work will arise from the fact
that while it is being done, the people
may be, present and learn the best
methods of road making. which in the
future they can follow.

The Improvement of Public Roads.


The avidity with which the boards
of commissioners of the various coun-
ties of the State are taking advantage
of the opportunity offered by the
Highway Division of the Maryland
Geological Survey to obtain the assist
ance of the officers of that department
in planning for the remodeling of the
public highways is a credit to their
good sense and public spirit. The
other day in Frederick, the Commits
sioners agreed to invite the co-opera-
ton of the Highway Division in lay
ing out considerable street CHI of road
in that county, and Monday the Har-
ford County Commissioners passed a
resolution accepting the proffer of the
department to assist in the prelimi-
nary work of laying out a section of
model road provided for under the
Woolsey bequest for good roads to
Hartford county.
1t has taken some time to arouse
the Commissioners to the fact that
scientific bodybuilding is as impor-
tant to the farmer and the tax-pay-
ers interests as scientific farming or
scientific dairying, but with the
awakening has come an abundance
of zeal for the benefits to be derived
from the modern system of road con-
struction. 1t will be some years, per-
haps before Maryland has the number
and kind of highways she ought to
have to give her distinction in this
direction, but with county after coun-
ty falling into the spirit of the move
ment the future of the public high
ways is undoubtedly assured. Much
of the awakening in this direction is
due to the missionary work that has
been done by the Geological Survey,
fact which the farmers and the
County Commissioners are manifest
ing very great willingness to admit.
The result has already proved the
wisdom of the creation of the survey,
=
the money expended upon which is
being returned to the taxpayers in
benefits that they might otherwise
have waited years to acquire. The
counties are beginning to realize that
it is just as easy, and hardly any more
expensive in the end, to have good
roads as bad ones. This point reach
ed, the remainder of the work of con-
verting the highways of the State
into fine roadways ought to be COM
paratively easy to accomplish. The
counties that have taken the iniatory
step in the matter have set an excel
lent example for the rest of the State
to Observation-Disclosures Meas.
