THE AMERICAN IDEA.

The tariff question is now being
strongly urged, by one element of
the would-be reunited Democratic
party, for the issue in the next Ma
tlonal campaign. 1t hardly seems
possible that the party will make the
tarlff reform plank again serve as the
bufwark of its hopes, but the Demo-
cratic party has been known to do
even stranger things. The fact is
that the American tariff has become
a greater and broader matter than a
mere party question. 1t is a party of
the faith OF the people. The present
prosperous condition of our country
is recognized by every thinking per
son, as solely due to protection to
American industries by wise and pru
dent legislation. Who does not re-
member the conditions that existed
IN this country, under the Democratic
reign of terror from 1885 to 1897, with
short lntermission, when Grover Cleve
land Y Co. had the power. and un-
dertook the job of demonstrating to
the people the beautiful results and
satisfactory conditions that would as
suredly come, under free trade, or
tariff for revenue only. History has
recorded the result of that fiasco. And
who does not remember the unenum-
Grated host of tramps that were every
where wanderingthrough the country
many of them good men and skilled
mechanics, but out of work at their
homes, and seeking employment.
And finally wound up their affairs by
borrowing upon the nations credit

HUNGRY FOR OFFICE.

The Democratic revival in this
state seems to have impressed nearly
all good party workers, as well MS
some whose services have not been
considered very valuable, with the
idea that now is the time to seek A
reward. 1t is evident that. from
Governor elect Warfeld down to the
official who has only one or two
places at his disposal, all dispensers

applicants for every possible vacancy.
In addition to the new applicants,
all the incumbents seem to desire
strongly to remain in their positions.
Indeed, not one instance has come to
light where any office holder. State
or municipal is not candidate.

sleging the Democratic managers to
use their influence in their behalf

United States Senatorial candidates.
Rayner and Smith, are both being
pressed for their influence, but Mr.
Wartield has declared that he will not
make use of his patronage to pro
mote the success s.of any Senatorial
candidate.

GORMAN ISSUE WILL BE MET,

The Republican leaders are pre-
pairing to meet the race issue that
was raised in the Maryland campaign
by Senator German and others. In
line with this determination Congress
man Dick, of Ohio, who is Secretary
of the Republican National Commit
tee, in order to test the inviolability
of the 18th Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, intro
duced a suffrage resolution in Con-
gress several days ago, which first re-
citing the law regarding suffrage, a
preamble then declares that it is A
matter of common information and
belief that the rights of citizens to
vote is denied and abridged in GER
tain states The succeeding resolu-
ton be referred TO the Committee on
Elections of national officials to in
quire into the validity of state cleo
ton laws and the manner of their en-
forcement.
Under the resolution the committee
would be empowered to subpoena and
examine witnesses under oath and
compel the production of records and
other evidence necessary to a full and
complete Investigation.

BRYAN is not so sure a quitter fol
the third run as he thought he was
a while ago. His visit to England and
near prospect of seeing Croker seem
to have put new splice in the main
brace of his aspirations. Should he
run again he would have the great
political advantage of deing able to
see the end from the beginning the
bottom ofthe same old ditch, growing
to look more and more like home to
him every time he tumbles into it.

the finest roads in the cOuntry-Once
declared that good roads were more
necessary than public schools, and
were quite as important a factor in
civilization. Historians tell us that
the great Roman Empire owed its
magnitude and success to its road
builders. The question in Maryland
is not whether we need good roads
but by what method shall they be
built.
One feature of the bill is the meth
Cd of selecting the roads to be i'm
proved or opened each year. 1t pro-
vides that no one county shall re-
ceive in one year from the total
amount appropriated more than the
proportion the total existing mileage
of roads in the county bears to the
total mileage of public roads in the
counties applying for improvement.
This sliding scale of the amount to
be appOrtioned to each county is
DOLll lSCnlOuS anu luSl.
With regard to the method of pay
ing for the roads, the bill enacts that
sum of 100000 be apportioned an
nually for the purpose. 1t provides
that an application for the improve
ments of any road must be accom-
panied by a petition signed by at
least two-thirds of the property-own-
ers adjoining the road, who, in writ
ing, agree to pay 10 per cent. of the
cost of the road. 1t is also provided
in another section for the protection
of the property-holde that the cost
of any road shall not exceed more
than $50 per mile. The bill requires
that the said road shall be so con-
structed that at all seasons of the
year it shall be "firm, smooth and
convenient for travel"
The bill also provides that the
roads, when improved, or any new
roads that may be opened, shall be
known as county roads, and that the
burden of keeping them in repair
shall fall upon the county. The State
is not to be liable for damage result
ing from the requiring Of any pro-
perty or damage resulting from the
construction of any road under this
act. Suitable sections are also in
serted with regard to the advertising
of bids, which are meant for a pro-
lection to the taxpayers.
Perhaps the most notable feature
of the bill is the provision that any
funds (which may hereafter be de-
rived from the sale, lease or other
disposition of the oyster grounds of
the State shall be applied to reduce
the amount hereby appropriated
A further section makes it a law that
all funds that shall be derived from
such sales, leases, etc, shall be APP
piled to the construction of highways,
regardless of the amount. These lat
ter sections are to be used to force
the bills passage, and will also, per-
haps, be the cause of most Of the OPP
position.-Baltimore News.

THE SENATORSHIP.

Governor Smith and Attorney Gen
eral Rayner are actively at work to
win the SenatOrship. Governor Smith
feels that as he did as he was told by
the Democratic managers and during
his term so restricted the right of suf-
trage as to make possible continued
Democratic supremacy in Maryland
that common gratitude as well as
good faith require that he should
reap the reward thereof.
The Governor also points to the re-
suit of the election as vindication of
his administration He apparently
overlOOks the fact that the Democrat
ic managers, after having used him at
ill,coldly ignored his administration
III the late campaign.
Mr. Rayner believes that he repre-
SCENTS the better element of the Demo
cracy and that Governor Smith ought
not to be Senator as long as such fine
Senatorial timber as Mr.. Rayner is
standing in the Democratic forest of
hickory trees.
Mr.. Rayner played strong hand
when he forced the managers to
ALLOW" nearly all of the Democratic
legislative nominees in Baltimore
City to endorse him. He caught them
when to do otherwise would probably
have caused the loss of Baltimore City.
Now that the election is over the
managers do not hesitate to show
their displeasure at this holdup and a
good many pretty close political OBJ
servers expect to see Mr.. Ravner
thrown down pretty hard.

Miss Eva Marie Miller, of Taylors-

When the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried

1t is like the penny in the

because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted

A G00D-ROADS BILL,

A bill recently formulated by a

Their meeting of the representatives
i'll Baltimore on December 3, the bill
will be presented to the General AS
sembly for passage. The bill is the
elimination of the good-roads move
ment which has been pushed with
more than usual energy within the
past six months. A perusaf of the
bill will show that the members of
the committee evidently had their
hearts in their work, and, in vo-
luminous bill of eighteen sections,
have endeavored to overcome all OBJ
stacles that might arise in the at
tempt to make Maryland's roads a
pride to the State.
The good-roads movement in this
State, while seemingly slow in NOV
ing, does at least move. While the
present bill, which will no doubt be
offered to the next General Assembly,
may not meet with the approval of
all, the time is not far distant when
something must be done in this ne
elected direction. The State has al
ready waited too long before enact

recognized that a States roads are
both a cause and an index of States
prosperity. 1t has been demonstrated
time and again that a good road
is cheaper to the State and to the
country than a poor road. If cheap.
er to State and county, it must be
cheaper to the rural taxpayer. so

learned there will be no objection on
