G00D-R0ADS LAW VALID
State Appropriation Held To Be Con-
stitutional.

StttutlOnai.
Judge Burke. sitting in the Circuit
Court at Towson, decided this MORN
ing that there is nothing in the Con-
stitution of the state to nr)hibit the
Legislature appropriating a sum of
money annually for the purpose of
aiding the various counties in build
ing good-roads. Notice of an appeal
from Judge Burke's decision to the
Court of Appeals was immediately
entered, and the case will be taken up
at once.
As the result OF "A long crusade in
favor of better highways the Iegisla-
ture last winter passed abillappropri-
ating 5000, 900 annually for good roads,
the money to be divided among the
counties in proportion 10 the mileage
of their road systems whenever such
counties by proper action decide that
they would bear one-half the cost of
improving the roads The State Geo
logical Survey Commission was
authorized to survey the roads to be
improved and to have general super
vision of the work. Over $50 miles of
good roadways have so for been peti-
toned for
Baltimore county was among the
first counties to apply for part of the
appropriation, which does not become
available until January I, 1905, and
already surveys have been made of
Az miles, the county's limit under the
bill. Mr.. Frank Bonsal recently filed
suit in the Circuit Court for injunc-
ton to prevent the County Commiss-
sioners, acting as highway commits
sioners, from accepting and using any
Of the State appropriation on the
ground that the Legislative act was
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Redmond G. Stewart argued
the case this morning, for Mr.. Bonsal,
baslng his plea as TO the unconstitu-
tionality of the act entirely on the
section of the Constitution of 1867
which prohibits the lending of the
States credit to private individuals
or the appropriating of money for
works of internal improvement.
Judge Burke, in deciding against Mr..
Stewards contention, took the ground
that the prohibition was intended to
apply to appropriations for such pur-
poses as railroad and canal construc-
ton work, and not to road word. He
denied the injunction without even
asking Messrs. John J. Donaldson
and Osborne |. Iellot, who represent
ed the County Commissioners to make
their arguments.
Because of a doubt that existed last
winter as to the constitutionality of
direct appropriations for good roads,
the Legislature passed constitution
al amendment submitting the good
roads question to the people This,
like the Poe DISTINGUISHING amend
ment, was not signed by Governor
Warfield. and the question whether
or not these two amendments shall 60
on the official ballots next fall is now
before the AnneArundel county court.
Should the Court of Appeals sustain
Judge Burke's decision, there will
| then be no necessity for the adoption
of the good-roads constitutional
| amendment, but if the same court
holds that the amendment was le-
gally passed without the Governors
signature, the amendment will have
to go on the ballots anyhow, and be
voted upon.-Baltimore News.

WHY THE BICYCLE PERSISTS
It Is the Poor Mans Automobile and
Is Used for Various
Purposes.

Prophets are the great Spectators
in futures" and in that sort Of gam
bling the "bears." who see calamities
ahead, are usually losers. Nothing
has been the subject Of more pessimis-
tic forebodings during the last few
years than the bicycle, yet this spring
the wheel comes out again, almost as
numerous and as popular as ever, says
Youths Companion of recent date:
Automobiles, it is true, have greatly
increased in numbers, and they have
been looked upon as the supplanter
and successor Of the bicycle. Amer
leans like to travel FAST" said a man,
recently, "but they don't want to work
for it. That is why the automobile ap-
peals to them" There is some truth
in the remark. but the fact remains
that most of us must work for 1t"
The bicycle is the poor mans auto
mobile, and good one. It does not
bother him about starting or stopping.
does not often get out Of repair, re-
quires no outlay for fuel; yet it makes
him master of wider circle of coun-
try than he could possibly command
without it, and pays him handsome
dividends in health and strength for
every pound of energy he spends in
propelling it.
The time of the "scorcher" and the
century run" is past, and the era Of
sensible wheeling has come in. Those
who own and buy bicycles now are
those who use their wheels for exer-
else, for recreation and as practical
vehicles. They would cling to their
hobby tenaciously even il their own
experience had. not been reinforced by
medical approval, which is now over
whelmingly with them. The bicyclists
for years to come will continue to
outnumber, as they have in the past,
the devotees of every other pastime.i

MAN AND HIS MISSION.

ACROSS the field the farmer goes
Behind his plodding mare;
He streaks the soil with crooked rows.
And he IL bent by care.
The blackbirds gossip in the trees
Perhaps in their opinion he's
But serving them out there
His yellow trousers sag because
OF service they have done;
Ills whiskers tumble DER his jaws.
Much faded by the sun.
Upon the fence two chipmunks play,
And who can tell how useful they
May think him as they run?
His muddy boots are coarse and hard
And all run down behind;
By toll his hands are sadly SCARED,
His brow is deeply lined.
Two beetles where he lately passed
May think his toiling, first and last,
Is for their peace of mind.
Men think the world was set aside
For their especial need:
The boundaries that they provide
Are fixed through strength and greed;
But in the trees and meath the sod
The notion may prevail that God
Sent men to furnish feed,
And only that, indeed.

MEDICAL JUDGMENT OF JAPs
Plenty Of Water and Unlimited Fresh
Air Depended Upon for
Strength.

The Japanese have taught Europeans
and Americans lesson and quenched
in some degree the conceit Of the eau
castan in his superior capacity to do
all things. Even in the matter of
diet. our long cherished theory that
the energy and vitality of the white
man Is largely due to the amount of
animal food consumed, must undergo
revision. says the Medical Record.
The japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on
the earth. They are strong mentally
and physically, and yet practically they
eat no meat at all. The diet which
enables them to develop such hardy
frames and such well-balanced and
keen brains, consists almost wholly Of
rice. steamed or boiled, while the bet
ter-to-do add to this Spartan fare fish,
eggs, vegetables and fruit. For bev-
erages they use weak tea without sugar
or milk, and pure water, alcoholic
stimulants being but rarely INDUCED
In. Water is imbibed in what we
should consider prodigious quantities
to an Englfshman, indeed, the drink
ing Of SO much water would be re-
garded as madness. The average Jap
anese individual swallows about gal
lon daily In divided doses.
The Japanese recognize the benef1-
cial effect Of flushing the system
through the medium of the kidneys,
and they cleanse the exterior of their
bodies to an extent undreamed of in
Europe or America.
Another perhaps this is the
usage on which the Japanese lay the
greatest stress-is that deep, habitual,
forcible inhalation of fresh air is an
essential for the acquisition of
strength. and this method is sedulous-
ly practiced until it becomes q part of
their nature.
The japanese have proved that
frugal manner Of living is consistent
with great bodily strength-indeed, is
perhaps more SO than the meat diet
of the white man. AS to the water
drinking habit, which is so distinctive
custom with them, it is probably an
aid to keeping the system free from
blood impurities, and might be fol-
lowed with advantage In European
countries, to far greater extent than
is at present the case Hydropathy
and exercise seem to be the sheet an
chors of the Japanese training regi-
men, and, judging from results, have
been eminently satisfactory.
