ROAD LEGISLATION.

NOAD LLS4SLn WV
Attention has recently been directed
to the action of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania in appropriating a
large sum of money for the improve
ment of the public roads. thas been
pointed out that but few of the town
ships have asked for assistance and
this seems to be true. The next
Legislature of this State will pass
some road legislation and the trainers
Of the law should carefully look into
the defects of the statutes of other
States, so rs to avoid a similar error.
The Philadelphia Record has the
following to say appropos to the
subject:
Attorney General Carson has de-
cided that in accordance with the
provisions Of the Good Roads act it
is compulsory upon the parts of
County Commissioners to furnish
under oath to the State Highway
Commissioner a statement of the
total number of miles oftownship or
county public roads in each township.
AS the act provides that State aid in
the construction of roads must be
apportioned among the several coun-
ties upon the basis of mileage, it is
evident that this information is neccs-
sary as a preliminary step to the or
ganization of the Highway Depart
ment. Whether or not the counties
or townships exercise their option of
applying for State help, they must
furnish the data required and pay
for the expense incurred out of the
county funds.
Thus far petitions for State aid
have only been received from six or
seven counties. The lack Of public
interest in the construction Of good
roads has been a distinct disappoint-
lnent to the friends of highway inn
provement. The provision that two
thirds of the cost of construction
should be paid out of the State APP
preparation, one-sixth by the county
and one-sixth by the township, raises
two questions of difficulty-the pay
ment of county and township quotas
and the location of the desired i'm
provement. Until the law shall be
so changed as to impart some ele
ment of compulsion where road i'm
provement is obviously required its
provisions are likely to remain inert.
"In the meantime however, there is a
full-hedged new department in opera
ton at Harrisburg ready to do bust
ness if business shall turn up, and
ready to draw the salaries provided
whether roads be bad or good. There
is, beside, $6,5oO,OoO appropriated
and in the custody of favored banks
and trust companies awaiting very
gradual dispersion among the road
builders. If the law should never be-
come actively operative so much the
better for the holders of the road
fund"

sale of votes more than do the ones
for which they profess such great i'll
terest. While the result comes by in
direction, yet if these portions OF our
population wish to always remain in
a downtrodden position let the illicit
business continue Elect republic
can ticket again this fall and we have
the solemn and sacred promise, both
in their platform and on the stump,
that we will have re-enacted n law
which is capable OF bringing the cleo
tive franchise into the same state Of
disrepute as is our neighboring COM
monwealth, Delaware.
When the election law of 1901 is
assailed the voters should remember
that this extra session was made
necessary for the purpose of correct
ing frauds perpetrated upon the peo-
pie of Maryland by the republicans
themselves, and while it was in ses-
sion a measure was also passed that
that had for its object the prevention
of the sale of votes, another crime,
and its action was one of the most
direct blows this vicious practice has
ever received. The little band of
patriots" who gathered in one of
the committee rooms after the Senate
had adjourned, and issued a third
Declaration of Independence, were
something like the hypocritical
Pharisees who in Biblical times
stood upon the street corners and
thanked their God that they were
not like other men, while all the time,
in their hearts they must have felt
the overpowering conviction of the
honesty of purpose of their contem-
poraries.
We think that the republicans now
realize the unequal task of trying to
make successful onslaught on any
step of progression that is an incen-
tive for a higher order of intelligence,
and at the same time carries with it
the death warrant for corruption at
the polls.

GIVE US A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

Some of our contemporaries, and
we we fear that the infection is not
altogether general, have recently seen
fit to start controversies, that, if
continued, may soon result in person
alities; and the promise of a clean
campaign, which augured so aus
piciously for all OF us, will yet develop
into contest of mudslinging.
We regret to see that it seems
necessary for some of our brethren to
attempt the conduct of campaign
in any such manner, and hope that
they will see the error of their way in
time to let the good feeling of unity
prevail before the election. This is
or should be contest for principles
solely. So far as we know both
Messrs. Warfeld and Williams have
come out of public life with private
regulations untarnished, and even if
this was not the case, it will not be
the policy of The 4Egis to enter into
any argument of vituperation, no
matter the provocation.
Our opposition to the election of
Mr.. Williams, for the high position
he seeks, is solely on the ground that
he represents a party which nation
ally is not in accord with our views
and from State standpoint, because
we would regard it as calamity to
again have a republican administra-
ton in Maryland. 1t is not neces-
sary to recall the Lowndes days of
Annapolis or the Matter days of
Baltimore City. both events are so
fresh in our minds, that rehearsal
is not necessary. All the democrats
have to do is to ask themselves the
question "Do we want a repatition
of the past?" If not, cast your
ballot for Mr.. Warheld and his
associates on the ticket.
The election of democratic legis-
lature is as equally important as the
other State officers. Our people
should remember that the same man
who was the Presidents personal
representative on the floor of the
House, during the struggle to pass
the Force Bill, now seeks an endorse
ment from the voters of this State by
a reelection to the high position of
United States Senator. There is no
man whose public life has been more
obnoxious to the people of the South
than has Louis f. McComas, who
today stands at the head of his party
in MARYLAND, and is an issue far more
dangerous than election laws or race
supremacy. He has shown the coun-
try what he would do, and, as it is
always safe to Judge the future by
the past, his reinstatement in the
upper branch of our National Legis-
lature will give added impetus to a
record that has never been in accord

THE EXTRA SESSION AND THE BAL
LOT LAW.

In a recent speech, the republican
nominee for Governor, Mr.. Williams,
took occasion to refer to the extra
session of the Legislature of Mary
land, and call attention to the fact
that this cost over 100000, an un-
necessary expense. The people of
Maryland would like to ask Mr.. Will
liams the primary cause that led to
the calling of this extra session, the
first that this state has had in many
years. While he is perfectly familiar
with all the facts in the case, he has
been very careful not to mention the
stuffed pension returns of southern
Maryland, which gave several of the
lower counties acknowledgements
ton in the Legislature of our state,
and therefore that many additional
votes both in the caucus and on the
Joint ballot for United States Senator.
While one of the principal offenders is
now in Baltimore City Jail serving
out a sentence for his wrong-doing,
and several others have plead guilty
and been fined, yet the republican
party, through its spokesman, is not
willing to acknowledge that the
wrong-doing which had to be cor
rected, was caused by the friends, to
say the least, of one of the most
prominent republicans in the state.
In all fairness it perfectly proper to
charge the democrats with every
error that they have committed, yet
the fact cannot be gainsaid-there
would have been no extra session had
it not been for the fraudulent census
returns fixed up by members of the
republican party for the purpose of
increasing their vote in the legisla-
ture.
Acting under the orders recently
given, both the big and little republi-
cans all over the state are Industrious
ly harping upon the election law of
1901 as being most Infamous
measure, but why, they seem unable
to state, except perhaps it is in a
measure calculated to disfranchise a
certain element of their party that is
claimed by the more conservative
members to be necessary for their
existence. They profess great friend
ship for the poor and the ignorant,
vet criticise the General Assembly
that repeats a law under which
bribery hourished. Noclasses of our
population feel more the effect of the
