LET THE PEOPLE DEMAND
GOOD ROADS.

The Eastern Shore is also awake to
the necessity of good roads and Queen
Annes0ounty invites her farmers to be
present at the new system of road max
ing. Why will our Board of Commits.
sioners be silent on this great question
Surely our roads are in most disgrace
full condition and our system is rotten
to the very core. 1t is the system we
must change if we wish to secure bet
ter roads in this rich and prosperous
county. Let the men and women who
go from home and visit other sections,
see other communities, tell of the need
of shaking up our authorities and unit
ing for better roads and for better inn
provements about the home and on the
farm. Beautify your homes, improve
the surroundings on your farm, don't
say you can't afford it or that it is too
expensive, go to work and do some
thing. Show some taste in identifying
your homes and insist upon having
better roads in every section of the
county. We should do away with every
turnpike in the county and have the
stock taken up by the county OF State
at some fair valuation and thus get rid
of the barbarous toll gates now the
relic of the bygone ages. We are
behind our neighbors and should strive
to bring about an era of general i'm
provement in our beautiful county. If
our commissioners had any spirit of
liberality they would take the lead and
show that they were the proper repre-
sentatives of rich and prosperous peo-
pie. For years and years we have
urged our people to improve the roads
in their own localities, but they prefer
to, drive through the same old mud
holes each year rather than unite with
their neighbors through the winter in
building few miles of good road in
their district Let us all unite upon
some better road system than the mis-
cradle one we have at present.

he will travel about the country

While the railway presidents may
have donated the use of the car,
as is most probable in view of
their own large interests, it is
not likely that they will transport
it free and the other great inter-
ests will have the privilege of
paying for the luxury in which
the Speaker will travel Further
details in regard to the car, state
that it will be stocked with the
finest wines and liquors so that
the Speaker will be able to enter

The Democrats at headquarters
are observing with qualification
the extraordinary resemblance of
the platform adopted by the Idaho
Republicans to the one adopted
by the Illinois Democrats. What
the Idaho Republicans can hope
to gain by demanding from their
own party a revision of the tariff
so as to abrogate the special pro-
lection afforded the trusts it is
difficult to see. Past experience
should have taught them that
such a reform can be looked for
only from the Democratic party;
however, the Idaho platform CO.
incides with the definition of the
Iowa platform given by Secretary
Wilson on his return from the
west. 1t will be noted, however,
that Secretary Wilson has re
Trained from expressing any more
views on the tariff question since
he gave out his first interview and
1t is more than probable that he
received peremptory instructions
from the Republican leaders to be
more guarded in his published
statements.

On The other hand the American
Steel Trust bidder with his character
istic shrewdness, figures in this way:

that have shipped my share of $685.

charged the English buyer only $23
per ton for il, after paying the freight

the people of that town have been
charged net profit of SIS on a ton of
steel that according to the report of the
United States Industrial Commission
cost $l2 to produce. The consumer is
held up by the tariff and deliberately
robbed No wonder the Steel Trust is
able TO declare a Sl4O 600, 900 dividend,
even after paying their Schwabs million
dollar salaries. The conditions in steel
are prevail ut in every trust controlled
industry. They are growing richer
every day aud more powerful. Shall
they continue to fitch the money out
of the pockets of the people and grow
immeasurably richer at the expense of
the people?

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
INTERESTING THREE DAY
SESSION.
Every Teacher Present and

Dutrow Makes Address of
Welcome-Colored Teachers
in Session.

The Frederick County Teachers
Institute began it's. three day ses-
sion at Masonic Temple last Mon
day and closed at 8 O'Clock We'd
nesday afternoon.
All the teachers in the county,
about two hundred and fifty in
mum bel, were present at the open
ing session at 10 80 O'Clock. Rev.
Eugene l. Mclean, pastor of
Grace REFORMED church, offered
the opening prayer. This was
followed by a roll call of the
teachers.
Mr.. Samuel Dutrow, president
of the Board of School Commits
sioners, welcomed the teachers in
a well-timed and substantial ad-
dress. He referred to the many
advantages accruing from the
annual meeting of the teachers of
the county and their exchange of
ideas. Despite the law requiring
the presence of the teachers, the
institute has become a cherished
and popular institution. 1t pro-
notes friendship, harmony and
unity and is great factor in the
promotion of education in this
county.
His remarks on the subject of
teachers salaries were most inter
esting and his deductions and
illustrations quite surprise to
many who had labored under the
impression that Frederick county
paid lower salaries to its teachers
than many of the other counties.
Mr.. 'Dutrow said that last year a
petition signed by over one hun
dred teachers was presented to
the board, asking an increase of
salary. The board passed favor
ably upon it; later it was with T..
drawn to he presented per
sonally to the County Commits
sioners but nothing was done with
it. The school board has always
been favorable to an increase in
the scholastic term from u to 8
months but parents of chill
dren do not cooperate with them
i'll their efforts. He cited cases
where children were taken from
school in the early spring and
not sent back until late in the
fall Ofthe year, only getting about
four or five months instruction.
Such parental indifference to the
necessity of education for the
children made it difficult for the
board to make arrangements to
extend the term. Mr.. DutrOw
furnished statistics to prove that
Frederick county pays as much, if
not more, money to it's teachers
in proportion to its taxable basis
and length of school term as any
other county in the State:

OarreIt, months tefmi Somerset, 5
months term.
There are eight counties which
pay less than Frederick. OF those
one has an 8 months term, three
9 months and four y months, the
same as Frederick. Baltimore
county, with an assessment of
about $4,000, 900, pays S464. SO
for a ten months term. That
would make S34S.6O for a II
months term, but when it is con-
sidered that Baltimore county has
nearly four times the amount of
money to draw on than Frederick
1t would make the fact apparent
that our teachers get more in pro-
portion than the ones in Balti-
more county. About S64, 900 was
paid out last year in teachers
salaries, which is 23.O3 cents of
the entire tax rate of the county,
about q times that of any other
item. The tax rate of Frederick
county is 81 cents and that of
Baltimore county about 65 cents.
SO it will be seen that Frederick
county is doing about all it can
for the teachers, and whilst the
board is strongly with them in
their wishes to better themselves
financially, it can do nothing at
the present time in the premises.
The afternoon session was
opened at two o'clock. The time
OF the session was chiefly devoted
to a round table discussion on the
subject "Thoroughness,' under

erature Now on the Market.
A Strong Presentation Of the
Party's Greed.

The Democratic Congressional
campaign book, which made it's
appearance Tuesday is a volume
of 3S4 pages, the major portion of
which is devoted to the discussion
of Imperialism and Trusts, 24O
pages having been given to
these two topics. l15 to the for
mer and 125 to the latter. Then
follows an extended criticism of
the Republican campaign book,
many of he statements contained
therein being challenged as to
accuracy, especially those deal
ing with the Trust question.

ism there is long general review
Of the Philippine policy under

CHAPTERS OF INTEREST.
The chapters on the tariff and
Trusts are crowded with statistics
and figures, much attention being
devoted to an attempt to show
that protected Trusts and manu-
facturers get the benefit of all the
tariff in our markets and sell in
foreign markets at greatly re-
duced prices. Facsimiles of ex-
port price lists are given and CON-
parsons are made with domestic
prices of like articles.
EVILS OF PROTECTED TRUSTS.
A number of big Trusts are dis
cussed in detail to show that they
sell their products abroad much
cheaper than at home, and the
whole question is summarized in
a chapter on the "Evils of Pro.
tected Trusts" which is sub-di-
vided as follows:
Political corruption.
2-Watered stock.
3-Concealment of expOr
prices.
EJuggled and manufactured
statistics.
The records of the two parties
on the Trust question are con-
trasted. Reciprocity generally Is
denounced as "humbug." The
remainder of the volume is de.
voted to variety of subjects, in
Guiding government by injunction,
the Ship Subsidy bill, Chinese ex.
clusion, foreign affairs and the

HOW THE TARIFF WORK ).

Just now while the Republica are
getting ready to flood the country with
speeches from the lips of flap do lie
orators, the people will do well to lake
a plain, common sense, bu>inesslike
view of the tariff question. They will
do well TO reduce it to business prop
ositiou with dollars and cents as the
basis. They will thin get more real
insight into the question than a the
speel-binding speeches The Republican
party eau mtnufact"re in years.
No industry will better illustrate the
workings of the tuiff than the steel

rails
A town in Western Pennsylvania
wishes to build IA street railway. They
ask for bids from the Steel Trust, and
also from the English iron masters.
Let us see how the two bidders make
their figures
In the first place it costs the Amer
lean manufacturer less than it cost the
English ir"n master to produce a ton
OF steel. THIS is IN wn by the fact that
last year Americ n steel manufacturers
sold 500. 600 900 worth of steel in Eng
fish markets. and in dir ct competition
with the English iron masters. When
manufactured had to pay fright of
$475 per ton and still urdersell The
Englishmen in his own marke, that
proposition will need no argument
But, giving he Republicans the hene-
fit of every doubt, we will grant that
the cost of pro iucriOn of ton If steel
hire and in England is the same
Sworn statements hy iron manufacture
ers themselves before the United States
Industrial Commission show that the
cost of producing ton Of steel here is
twelve dollars PER ton. 1t is as much
in England, if rot more, hence, when
the f gllsh iron mast figures his bid,
he will have to begin with So as cost
of production TO deliver that ton of
steel he finds that it will cost him
81 - or thereabouts This too is shown
by the evidence before the United
States Industrial Commission Then
when this ton of rail reaches the port
of entry at New York, he has to pay a
tariff duty of $7.S4 before he can land
his rails Therefore when he figures
up what he can deliver his steel on the
ground for il looks like this:
