What difference between the mail
carrying privileges by railroads in the
United States and some of the countries
of Europe. In this country the govern
nent pays the railroads $4,000, 900 for
carrying the mails, while IN France the
railroads carry them free, where there is
pouch mail from town to town, and pays
I cent mile for every mile a government
mail car is hauled. The free carriage Of
the mails is consideration for their
franchises. Franchises in this country
are obtained on easier terms-free gratis
for nothing, generally-and are not fig
ured on to any great extent by the tax
payers to tighten their burden. In Italy,
Belgium, Austria, Germany and Swtzer-
land the transportation of the mails by
the railroads is small item of expense to
the government. Under government
ownership of railroads what an item of
saving each year would this one feature
prove. not to mention the many others
which would accrue to the benft of the
people under governmental control.

Road Improvement.

MESSRS. EDITORS Il note with inter
est the proceedings of the road meeting
at Elkton, but was disappointed in the
actions in not putting more suggestions
before the people that is way to raise
the money 10 improve the roads of Cecil
county The suggestion for the County
Commissioners to build mile of stone
road and one of gravel is a little old
fashioned, as the experiment age in road
building is over in this country.
We have good material and know
where to find it, good machinery and
know how to handle it and good con-
tractors waiting for job.
How about that appointment by the
County Commissioners of road engineer
and corps of helpers A good way TO
have plenty of politics and the roads be
the same. Now don't,-as the old SAYING
is-let this good road movement turn out
to be political hen laying an egg with
out even cackle, to hatch more ROSTERS
TO scratch on the farmers duughills.
This is enough of criticism. How will
this do Tor a suggestion For the roads to
he sold out by the District to the lowest
bidder, as contract company can do
fifty or a hundred miles less, proportion
ately, than they can ten.
There is jealousy among the tax pay
ers, and justly so, when you make a road
good that does not benefit them, and
they are compelled to pay their full share
They are bound to kick. Let it be under
stood when the roads are sold that any
tax payer may haul the material from the
nearest place of manufacture or shipping
station, for his own benefit, and to be
paid fixed price for the same.
Mr.. Reid tells us that it will cost three
to four thousand dollars to stone o mile
of road. l know of a company that
brushes stone at a cost of FIVE cents a
perch. aud why cannot Cecil county do
abe same. Stone can be hauled distance
of three miles for one dollar and twenty
five cents a perch, so do your own
counting. Sixth DISTRICT.

Tor Better Roads.

The movement for better highways i'll
our county, inaugurated by the meeting
at Elkton last week, is in accord with the
progress of the times, and the betterment
of our miserable roadways would be all
investment whose returns would be many
fold. While the direct results of the
meeting last week may not be great, yet
is it at least beginning, and should it
lead, as was the intention, to placing the
supervision and construction of our roads
in the hands of men who are familiar
with this work from practical and scien-
tihc standpoint and the building of short
sections of permanent ways, then may we
indeed hope for much improvement.
Even should the work be carried forward
ever so slowly, so that we get but small
portion of permanent road at a time, still
would it be vastly superior method to
the spending of the apportionment sllot-
sed for the maintenance of the highways
in little dribblets, making it reach over as
large an area as possible in tinkering and
patching. A small stretch of permanent
road built each year will in time grow to
conspicuous length, and besides proving
saving in the long run and valuable OBJ
ject lesson of practical methods, it will be
source of great public good, not alone to
the travelling public, but the county, ell
HANGING the value of property and saving
many dollars OH the wear and tear of
teams and vehicles driven over them.
Slow as this method would be yet is it
better by far than the one in vogue, as
what have we at present in the shape of
good substantial roadways to show for the
thousands of dollars which have been
expended on them in our county.
Let the citizens of the county keep
everlastingly at it until some such scheme
is evolved whereby there will be a steady
improvement in our roadside it ever so
gradual-and not fall back into the lax
methods which have so long held sway
over our road system, which iE fact is no
system at all but mere drifting along in
ruts worn as deep as those 10 be found in
several of our. main thoroughfares here
abouts at the present time.

Delmar, Del, has refused to
grant a building permit to the bas-
ket factory and saw mill, which
were recently destroyed by fire in
that town, compelling those indus
tries to locate elsewhere. The
reason ascribed for this progrs-
sive {? step of Delmar is that the
business portion of the town has
twice been destroyed by fire which
originated in factories and the
people fear their homes will be en-
dangered if the factories are
allowed to rebuild on the same
sites.

1t is serious question whether the
Hague treaty promotes the ends desired.
1t is favored by many humane persons
because they hope it will make war less
terrible. Others equally humane contend
that the more terrible war is, the more
care nations will take to avoid it, but
there is no doubt that the most humane
motives prompted the senators TO ratify
the treaty.
