mARYLAnp,s GOOD ROADS SCHEME.

Chesapeake bay. once the head and
front of oyster production, is losing its
prestige with it's oyster beds Long
Island sound now produces more oys-
| tiers than the Chesapeake. The oyster
packing industry of Baltimore, which
once employed fleets of oyster boats
| and a multitude of men and women
on board and IN the packing houses, has
fallen away nearly two-thirds from the
| flush times when self-soWn oysters
covered the bay bottom and offered
/ remuneratiye field of operations The
unwise and wasteful methods of the
Chesapeake oystermen have depleted
these natural beds and threaten In
time to completely exhaust the sup
ply. If matters continue as under pres
ent conditions the prospects are for the
eventual humiliation of an industry
important to the country as it is vital
to the interests of it's immediate loca-
ton.
1t seems long way between the
bottom of the bay and the good roads
problem. but the Maryland legislators
propose to connect the two to mutual
Improvement. A bin which is receiv-
ing strong support from the country
members especially proposes that the
wi
value, so far as the oyster industry is
concerned, to anybody, should be taken
in by the state, leased in lots ranging
from thirty to 100 acres to citizens OF
| MARYLAND who desire to engage in oys-
ter planting and cultivation. and thus
be made a source Of wealth to the
whole state. Then, when the natural
beds have been depleted, If they are
rot saved from destruction by ade-
ouate protective measures in the fu-
ture. there will be an unfailing supply
of oysters in the area once unproduct-
| i've, but made productive by system
attic and comprehensive plan of culti-
walton. The revenue derived from
leasing the barren bottoms OF the
Chesapeake will be divided among the
counties of the state for the improve
ment of their public highways. With
out additional taxation the farmers
will have every year substantial sum
to spend upon the Improvement OF
county roads. From an outside stand
point it seems to offer an opportunity
to kill two birds with one stone.
Granting that the plan is feasible ana
that the bottoms may be readily leased
Maryland should profit both going and
coming from its adoption and the
country at large share in the benefits
OF an increased production of lus-
cious sea food at present scarce and
high priced

road for delegate at-large and oppose
A. b. Funk, one of the leading repub-
Iieans Of Uncle Georges district. We
didn't want to think that our venerable
uncle would knife a man who repre-
sents Eleventh district sentiment and
advocate his defeat by the Iowa rep
resentative of the Northern Securities
Company. AS between Blythe and
Funk, we didn't think Uncle George
would hesitate. He knew that Blythe
was against Roosevelt two months aSo
and Topped when he found his OPPOSE
ton powerless to accomplish the pres
ident's defeat. He knew also that
Senator Funk was enthusiastic in ms
support of Roosevelt's nomination.
Therefore we hoped that Uncle George
would abandon his Irritation with the
railroads and the standpatters anu
fall into line with the republicans ol
his district; and so we read the SlonN
City Journal with more care than any
other.
We regret to say that our hopes have
not been realized. Uncle George mas
gone back on the platform of 1903
which he had a hand in framing. he
is opposing A. b. Funk and the re-
publicans of the Eleventh district ana
supporting j. w. Blythe and the Nor
thern Securities Company. He is try
ing to defeat friend of President
Roosevelt and put an enemy on the
delegation.
There are people unkind enough TO
say that Uncle Georges ambition to
be governor is responsible for his Pc
euiar attitude. We do not say that
this surmise is correct; but We do
not hesitate to express the opinion
that an Eleventh district candidate for
governor who opposes Abe Funk for
delegate large and supports j.. w.
Blythe will duplicate the experience
of the Egyptians in their journey to
the promised land.

A story from Port Arthur which
states that nihilists are poisoning the
food of the Russian soldiers, uncovers
one of the serious fears of the Rus
sian government. While the story is
not likely to have any foundation, in
actual truth, it reveals an internal
factor of which Russia and the world
are taking note as one to be reckoned
With in the progress of the war. The
nihilistc forces of Russia are to be
reckoned against its government as
certainly as are the Japanese.

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis

himself, altho he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an
attack of the grippe, and that by CIV

threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off. This remedy is also

WHY FARMERS MOVE.
TMapleton Press.1


T. c. Watson sold his farm in Iowa
at big price and then went to Frank
lin county, Kansas and bought another
one at less than half the cost. In dis
cussing his change of residence with
the ottawa Republic, Mr.. Watson
said:
i've been studying over this presto
change business with farmers for the
last few years and l can't account for
it nationally. Men in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have gone jumping out to Iowa
with craze to possess farms there
and tempted the old settlers with ex-
travagant prices lin turn the Iowa men
have pranced into Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and Kansas and doomed prices
there to the extent that the native sells
to them and moves elsewhere.
"And it's all because of the con-
founded real estate agents. They're
the chaps. They have stirred up I'M
rest, got the moveon fever started and
are reaping commissions at both ends of
the line. 1t is owing to them that
there are so many new faces in every
neighborhood all over the west.
"But the fever is dying. The craze
to sell out and go somewhere-any-
where else--is about over. And you
will find land prices getting back to a
more reasonable basis. and that very
quickly. don't say that any of us
have paid any too much for our Kan
sas farms, but don't believe prices
will go any higher for few years to
