Practical Results of Scientific
Road Building

Port Huron township, Michi-
gan. offers a practical object les
sou of experience in the building
of macadam roads which should
be the greatest encouragement
to the residents of MARYLAND
counties in their determination
to take advantage of the liberal
provisions Of the new State aid
road law. While it is generally
admitted that the construction of
modern roads throughout the
State must necessarily he grad
ual, the results at Port Huron
show that with the presence of a
good sample road as an incentive
to progress, the building of a
complete system of such roads
follows in a comparatively short
time as the economy, superiority
and greater satisfaction of the
new roads are recognized.
Port Huron tells its own lesson.
In 1900. there was not rod of
macadam road in Port Huron
AS a result of sample road
built in that year, 1901, found
the township in possession of
nearly four miles of good maca
dam roads. All these roads, it
should however, be noted, were
in one road district where the
road tax was employed each year
toVrrd building piece of maca
dam. The rest of the township
had nothing for large tax which
had been frittered away on tenn
porary and wastelul repairs upon
earth roads.
The good macadam roads. how
ever, i'll the one fortunate dis
tIict, had become by 1904, a
striking object lesson on a large
scale, and other parts of the
township wanted the macadam
roads so badly that at last
springs election they voted to
double the road tax, and Al miles
of substantial roads have now
been built in the other districts.
The sample road which is re.
s2Onsible for this wonderful i'm
provement was only half a mile
in length, but as soon as finishe d
it took all of the travel, and
other roads grew up in weeds
until they were macadamized
also. AS to economy, for four
years this sample road has had
heavy traffic but has needed
only slight repairs, thirty cubic
yards of stone being liberal
estimate of the amount of new
material required, more than one.
half of which was used in
trenches which have been cut
across the road in making water
connections.
Port Huron's experience is
proof that no county of Mary
land can neglect the opportunity
offered by the State aid for the
building of modern stone roads
unless its future welfare is en-.
tirely disregarded. The counties
which take advantage of the law
have at their disposal the appOr-
tionment of those which do not
want State roads, and the coun
ties which are thus callous in the
matter will in a few years see
other counties which were wise
enough to secure macadam roads
when the opportunity offered,
Outstrip them in all its financial
and social advantages which a
good road system brings. Mac.
adam roads once built are cheaper
in the end, as repairs have to be
made only at long intervals.
Some of the Massachusetts, roads
have been repaired for ten or
twelve years with only a few
loads of stone, and they are still
as good as when first built. And
little by little such system can
undoubtedly be secured.

Henry G. Davis Thinks Re
publicans Will not Remain
Long in Power.

A dispatch from Charleston,
West Virginia, says: Elk Senator
Henry g. Davis is expected to
be given the complimentary vote
for Senator to he cast by the Dem
ocratic members of the West
Virginia Legislature.
An interview with Senator
Davis was given out in which he
reviews the result of a number
of Presidential contests, aud
hopefully says:
'The last election produced
some very unexpected results,
but similar political surprises
have occurred before. 1t has
often happened, where a political
party has met with p onOunced
success at Presidential election,
that it was IN turn defeated at
the next election by the same
party, and sometimes by the
same candidate, over which it
had before been successful.
during the "a years from 1872
to 1899 there were six national
elections, at which the Demo.
Gratis and Republicans were alter
nately successful. History is apt
to repeat itself, and circumstances
now unforeseen may bring Demo
cratic success at the next cleo
ton. Democratic principles are
the same now that they were in
the days of Jefferson aud Jack
son. They prevailed then aud
good government resulted. They
will prevail again if the party
applies them fearleSSlv and intel
ligcntly TO public questions as
they arise.
"The Republican party cannot
hope to remain with its present
large majority of the voters of
the country. In a government
of the people like ours. it is to
the welfare OF all that the two
parties should be nearly equally
balanced. When this is the case
the party in power is held to
strlcter accounta ility, abuses
are more easily corrected and the
will of the people more carefully
observed"
Discussing West Virginia af
fairs, he urges the enactment of
registration law, pointing out
that in 1902 the voters of West
Virginia, 10y large majority.
adopted a Constitutional Amend
ment, requiring the Legislature
to pass IA registration law, but
the Republicans have steadily
refused to enact such a law.
Only three other States-Indi
ana, New Hampshire and Arkan
Sas-are without regiStra ion
laws, he says, but even Arkansas
has poll tax qualification. In
West Virginia, he states, 26.lO
per cent. of the population voted,
as compared with 2l.23 per.
cent. of the States of New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Con
necticut. Vermont, Ohio, Penn
Sylvania and Illinois. He con
sidered that this proves that
many fraudulent votes were cast,
which a registration law would
have prevented
1.-The result wonld have been
$3.50 less votes cast, and the
chances are that West Virginia
would have gone Democratic"
he says. "According to the
census of 1900. West Virginia
has 247.970 male population over
II years of age. There were cast
at the recent election 240 275
votes, which is 81 per cent. of the
voting population. On the same
basis of calculation the vote in
Pennsylvania was 6S per cent.
aud i'll Ohio 50 per cent. of the
population"

Three times during the Civil
War Washington was in grave
peril, and three times it was
saved to the Union The first
was at the beginning Of hoStil-
tiles, when the militia of the
District of Columbia came to the
rescue of the small body of ma
rines and artillery, before the
arrival in the Capitol of the
troops from Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts. New York and other
Union States.
The second was Immediately
after the battle of Bull Run,
(July q, 1861, when it could
have been captured 10y the Con
tederates had they not been more
demoralized by victory than the
Union troops by defeat.
The third was in July, 1864,
over forty years ago, when Gen.
Jubal Farley made his campaign
against Washington. The i'm
portant battle at Monocacy,
Maryland, on July 9th, 1864, was
the first days fight 10 save the
Nations Capitol And General
Earley's army was victorious. So
unexpected and so rapid were the
Confederate Generals movements
that he was in sight of the dome
of the Capitol before his cleverly
conceived plans were fully real
lied. When the roar of Earley's
guns were heard and the tele-
graph announced that he had
defeated Lew Wallace at Monoc
acy Bridge. the North quivered
with emotion when it contemplate
ed the deienSelessneSs of Wash
ingtou, stripped OF men and guns
for the campaign against Rich
mOnd.
The campaign against Wash
ingtOn and its Skillful execution
caused ID rude awakening in the
North, impatiently waiting for
Grant to take Richmond. Both
Washington and Baltimore were
in state of panic, while gold
went up to the highest point.
The capture of Washington meant
diplomatic complications Of a
most serious nature. with foreign
powers awaiting only for a plaus-
ible pretext for dismemberment.
Never was there a time when
more was at stake for the Union.
''Wallace defeated at Monocacy
after a stubborn fghtr were the
words contained in the message
received in the war department.
But that stubborn fight was as
valuable as a victory for the
Union, for days time had been
gained, so necessary for the
safety of the Capitol.
During these exciting days
there was one calm man, and he
was no other than President
Lincoln. He was then living at
the Soldiers Home, a mile and a
quarter from Fort Stephens, and
in addition to his Herculean du-
ties he daily visited the camps,
forts and hospitals. 1t was dur.
ing his visits to the hospitals that
the writer had the pleasure of
meeting the kind old man. His
custom was to enter the ward and
press through the aisle and take
the hand of each inmate as he
approached the cot of the
wounded occupant. The expires.
sion in his face reflected sorrow
and the words that he spoke to
each one were the expressions of
the sorrowful face. He seemed
devoid of fear and his chief con-
Germ was the capture of Earley's
army.

newspaper published at the Capt.
tol at that date, and paper de.

inmates of the hospitals; contain

WAGE EARNING WIVES
LEISURE GLASS OF WOMEN LIKE
LY TO RESULT IN RACIAL DE-
TERIORATION.

New York, Jan. 31.-In an address
before the league for education here,
economy of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania has advocated that women should
marry early, and when married they
should work, in order to have economic
independence.
Professor Patten deplored the fact
that SO many married women are in the
leisure class. He argued that if the
ideal which is held by so many men in
regard to the support of their wives
is Eearried on: much further, it will re-
suit in deterioration of the race and
a real danger to society. In order to
carry out this plan of economic indie
pendence, Professor Patten stated that
the standard of life of the family
should never fall below. that created
at marriage by the joint income of hus-
band and wife, and under no condition
should the wife think Of allowing the
burden Of her support to fall upon her
husband until the earning power of the
husband has been so enlarged as to ad:
NIT such action. .'....s E..
"Lack Of income" he concluded, els
reason often advanced against early
marriage. While I. realize that this
kind Of a condition offers disadvan-
tages, I believe that where both the
man and woman set out in industrial
development, they will, at the same
time, develop in character also.' -.

WILL STUDY POTTERY
Arts and Crafts Society Takes Up Prac
=. tical Work In Modelling.

The arts and crafts society will de-
vote the rest of the year to the practi.
cal study Of pottery under the direc-
ton of Miss Grace Kiese. The work
was begun last night at a meeting held
at the Handicraft guild shop in the
Dayton block. The fundamental pro-
cesses of clay modelling were explained
by Miss Kiese, director of the guild,
who, also talked on pottery clay with
special reference to the Red Wing clay
which is being used in the guild classes
and for the public school work.
This clay which is mined twelve
Of Goodhue, is a superficial bed about
forty feet thick stratifed in layers Of
varying degrees Of purity and thickness.
t is an unusually good d. natural It al. body bod
as much 50 as English ball clay. It is
vitrifed at moderate heat and I'M
doubtedly is one Of the best clays in the
country for the manufacture Of COM
mon stoneware. The bed covers an
area Of about 200 acres and is the only
place where the clay is found in suff-
GENTLY pure condition for use, altho the
stratum is found over nearly all Of
southern Minnesota.
The club members all experimental
with simple bit Of modelling as an
Illustration Of the instruction.
