When Governor Dawson as Sec
Rotary of State assisted in the at
tempt to force through the Legis-
lature of 1903 new system of tax
alton which neither the people nor
the Legislators had had an oppor-
tunity to consider, he made mis-
take. That proposed system was
afterward abandoned in large part
as not only not practicable but as
impossible and in some features ac-
tuaIly absurd. When Gov. Daw-
son divided the Republican party
denominated them into two parts,
one supporting him for Governor
and one opposing him and demon
mated the one favoring him as
regular, loyal. honest and patriotic
and the one opposing him as un-
Republican, tax dodgers dishonest.
he made a mistake. When Daw-
son repudiated the Washington
tax reform agreement and made his
campaign upon the claim that he
alone represented tax reform and
that ali who opposed his nomina-
ton were opposed to tax reform, he
made a mistake. When Mr.. Daw-
son held on as chairman of the Re-
publican State committee in the
face of unanimous party protests
for the purpose of manipulating it's
affairs in tae interest of his candi-
dacY he made a mistake. When
Mr.. Dawson, through his agents at
the Wheeling convention, tramp
led upon party usage, party regul-
arity and fairness and justice to
seat in the convention delegates
elected by outrageous fraud and
corruption he made a mistake.
When Mr.. Dawson, after he was
elected, proceeded 10 bind up an
organization or machine within the
party to CONTROL its affairs and to
remove from positions all Repub-
licsns, who had not favored his
nomination for Governor, he made
a mistake. When Mr.. Dawson lays
down the princiDle that the test of
Republicanism should be made in
primary and not in the general
campaign, he makes a mistake
When Mr.. Dawson announces that
he will make peace in the party by
fighting with bare knuekles those
who oppose his machine building
plans, he makes a mistake. We
named only part of his mistakes

DR. REICHARD's ROAD.
Maoadam Bed at $500 a Nile.
A Valuable Object Lesson. In Cheap
Highway Construction.


Baltimore Sun-Dr. VIM Reich-
ard, of Fair Play, Washington
county, is doing a public work
which is worthy of attention and
the highest commentator. He is
demonstrating how good roads can
be made at small cost. The
roadmaking he is doing has the
advantage of permanency and does
not have to be done over again
after each rain according to the
methods OF the ordinary road su-
pervisor in rural Maryland.
DR.. Reiohard is one of the buei-
est and most active citizens of this
county. He has large practice,
extending over an area which would
astonish the CITY physician. But
this does not prevent him from
taking an active interest in all pub
lie sffaias and doing great deal
of public work. In addition to his
practice and the various public af-
fairs in which he takes part, he
accepted the office of road super
visor for his district. The County
Commissioners were wise enough
to let him go ahead in his own way,
and the result up to this time has
been most gratifying. Instead of
having mud and silt thrown into
the holes and rute, he went off at
once and hired a stone crusher.
Then he made an arrangement with
a farmer to haul the stone free of
charge. This he did in order to
get the stone from his field, DR.
Reiobard having the quarrying
done. The quar-, ing is lone with
little or no drilling, the dynamite
being placed in the natural orevi-
COS of the rocks. The metal" is
put on the road IL inches deep
and the roadbed is nine feet wide
Up to the present time about half
a mile of bad road between Fair
Play and townsville has been
macadamized and the total cost
has been not much over $3.50. DIR.
Reichard estimates that where
there ls no grading to be done he
can make a good road bed for about
$3.50 a mile. according to the
method mentioned above Stone
is measured by the perch. and
perch is a pile 165 feet long, II
inches wide and Is inches high
That is the way the fenoemaker
puts it. A perch, in fact, is 242
cubic feet. or q feet less than
cubic yard DR.. Reichard pays
the owner of the stone crusher 20
cents perch for obrushing. Or
dinarily he pays 10 cents a perch,
hiring men by the day, for quarry
ing, and the cost of labor at the
orusher amounts to about Is cents
a perch. This makes the ordinary
cost of crushed stone about 45 cents
a perch. This work by this intelli-
gent and public spirited citizen
should be valuable object lesson to
that part of the State where stone
is abundant.
The above article is good sound
solid sense and the same method
could be very CLOSELY applied here
in our county, where we have an
abundance of rock. We hope that
some of our supervisors will try
DR. Reichard's plan. There is no
county in the state that lie us good
roads as bad as our county.

Many Months to Count Money.

The counting of the money and
securities in the vaults of the
United States treasury at Washing

in the United States treasurers
was completed Friday. Owing to
the fact that many experts were
employed this time the work was
much facilitated. Eight years ago
when Ellis 81 Roberts came into
Office, the count extended more
than seven months. Treasurer
Treat has given to Ellis b. Roberts
the retiring treasurer, a receipt
covering the amount turned over
to him.
