with a view of formulating some plan
of action by which Maryland could
contribute substantial aid to the i'm
provements ofthe public'roads. There
is no question before the people of
such great Importance as that of i'm
proving the county roads. In this
age of advancement it is about time
for Maryland to wake up and put her.
self alongside of the progressive states
of the union. An appropriation could
readily be made to the various coun-
ties for better roads, at the same time
having this money under the super
vison of competent men who have
some experience in road making. A
state board of nonpartisan character
would be worthy of consideration. In
many of the counties we have a road
system utterly at variance with the
real needs and necessities of the stu
alton. Thousands of dollars are annu-
ally spent which results in the same
old mud holes being filled up every
year. Baltimore county has taken
the proper step in the way of securing
permanentroad improvement. There,

pointed in at least one section of the
county, end wonderful results have
followed.

East Bound Freight DeraiIed Near Noun
tain Lake Park Monday Night.
An east bound freight train on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad ran into
the derailing switch east of Mountain
Lake Park last Monday night about
eleven o'clock, resulting in the over
turning of engine No. 1856 and the
wrecking of several cars of merchan-
disc. Fireman Groves, of Newburg,
West Va, was caught by the leg un-
der the falling engine which held him
fast for an hour or more notwith-
standing the efforts of the train crew
to relieve him from his precarious
position. His foot and part of his leg
was badly mashed and he suffered
other injuries. After being taken
from underneath of the locomotive he
was brought to the McComas SAM
tarium in Oakland where he was
given surgical attention. He will re-
cover. The engineer and the rest of
the train crew escaped by jumping.
This was the fireman's first trip over
the road.

mittee, President Roosevelt has dis
PLAYED political judgment in keeping
with the pronounced wisdom of his
administration.
Rumor has been rife until set at rest
by the request of the President to the
distinguished Ohio statesman and Re-
publican campaign general, that Sen
ator Hanna would step down and out
and that Senator Lodge, a close per-
sonal friend, or Senator Quay would
be chosen in his stead, the claim be-
ing urged that Senator Hanna sloyal-
ty lacked both quality and quantity.
With regard to Senator Hanna's
loyalty, both political and personal,
no rational doubt should have existed
after the endorsement of President
Roosevelt's candidacy by the Ohio
convention, which was brought about
solely through the approval and in
fluence of Senator Hanna.
While the fact that Senator Hanna
is an astute politician and exceed
ingly practical in his methods, cannot
be gainsaid, it is equally true that he
is honest and straightforward and his
loyalty, when once avowed, cannot
be shaken. He is frank even to the
degree of bluntness and those who
heard him declare for President
Roosevelt at the Ohio convention
knew intuitively and to an absolute
certainty that President Roosevelt
would have no more consistent, able
and loyal supporter than Senator
Hanna. Unlike many other politi-
clans, Senator Hanna fights in the
open. He disdains to assault an op-
ponent from the rear, but his blows
when dealt are none the less frequent
and effective.
