A COMMENDABLE STEP.

No more important step has been
taken in years by the Board of
County Commissioners than that
embodied in the following resolu-
tions passed by them after mature
elaboration on Monday last.
WHEREAS. at the recent session of the
General Assembly of Maryland certain
legislation was enacted looking to the
harmonious working of the offices of the
Board of County Commissioners and the
County Treasurer of Hartford county,
and
WHEREAS this Board is DESTROYS of pro-
noting the same, therefore
1t is ordered that John S. Holt be and
he is hereby employed by this Board,
with full authority to act in conjunction
with A. H. Strasbaugh and w. H. Har-
Ian.
First-To formulate and open the neces-
sary books of account for the purpose, as
of the first day of May, 1906.
Second-To formally close the books of
this Board in use up to said date, and to
render said Board a full and complete
statement of the finances of the county
atsaid date.
Third-And to so systematic and ar
range the clerical department of this of.
flee as to facilitate the accurate and
speedy conduct of its business in the fu-
ture.
Resolved, That the County Treasurer
be and he hereby is requested to make
any changes which may be necessary in
the system of book keeping of his office
to fully carry out the letter and spirit of
said Act.
Ever since the passage of law
providing for a county treasurer, it
has been felt that these two offices,
in virtue of their Importance and
natural affinity should be closely
harmonized and unifed,-the one
levying and disbursing the public
funds of the county, the other collect
ing and paying out the same on the
order of the former, just as our state
funds are handled by a comptroller
and treasurer.
With such a system, the Commits
sioners are relieved of handling all
monies, the whole system of county
finance is simplifed, and the two of
fees provide valuable checks and bal
ances against errors which might
arise in either one.
But tbs provided that at the same
time the new books are opened, the
old ones shall be closed and the result
laid before the public in a report so
clear and plain that it may be fully
understood by any and every reader.
We assume that the personnel Of the
expert accountant and the commit
tee under whose auspices he is to
work is of such a character that
when result shall have been reached
it will be guarantee against criti-
cism as to its accuracy, fullness and
fairness.
The Egis in its last issue recon-
mended change in certain methods
of accounting by the Board, and that
no hasty judgment as toits financial
condition should be formed, pending
a clear full statement; it now desires
to congratulate alike the Board and
the public, the former because the
members have met without timidity
or delay public duty, the latter be-
cause they are to be. taken into the
full confidence of the Board relative
to their past acts.

On Friday, Governor Warheld
appointed ex-senator William Pink
ney Whyte to the position made va
cant by the death of Senator Cor
man. Governor Whyte entered upon
his duties on Monday, when he was
introduced by Senator Isidor Rayner,
who is now the senior senator of this
State. Governor Whyte is an old
warhorse of Democracy, and has
filled every position in the gift of the
people. He ranked among the pow
ers of Democracy in the bygone days,
and at his present age. 80 years,
maintains his vigor and intelligence
to a remarkable degree. His ap-
pointment meets with favor, as I'M
der no circumstances will he be a
candidate before the next Legislature
and this will leave an open field for
all aspirants.

At WORK ON TIE SEWER
Snpt. Peyton Started his Force to
Work this Morning

Supt. Ed Peyton began with a
force of men this morning on the
job Of cleaning out the sewer main
below the lake southeast Of town.
The sewer has been in fairly good
working orker for the past few
months but large amount Of work
will be necessary before it is in per-
manent good order. The excava-
tions made last fall have been left
open. Sewer rods will be passed
through the main and all obstruc-
tions removed. Where ever brok-
en- joint is fonnd, it will be remov-
ed or repaired. It is impossible to
tell how much repairing will be re-
CURED until thorough examin
alton is made. Mr.. Peyton is a
thoroughly experienced and compe-
tent man and he is going about his
task in business like way.

To the Chiekasha Man Gilksys Interest

Washington, D. c. Feb. A.
Statehood seems to have relapsed
into innocuous desuetnde. 1t has
been consigned to the tender mer-
cies of the Senate which prides it.
self on its dignity, and "poke-easy"
way Of doing things. 1t will pro-
baby consider the bill when it gets
good and ready. and there is little
doubt that it will amend it. If so,
it will probably be returned to the
House and from there to confer
ence committee and there smother

very strenuous in taking in more

sentative Humphrey Of Seattle
Washington, the friend Of my boy
hood, is invaluable. A note from
him, which he is very anxious to
give me, is the Sesame open to
Covernoment buildings. He went
with me this morning TO the assist

foreign Jail. ! had passport from
the State Department. which any
loyal American may procure, but
this letter Of introduction to for
eign counsuls, can only be pro-
cured by personal application and
recommendation Of friends in high
official position. As dishonest
travellers often barrow money from
consuls and otherwise impose on
them, much caution and discretion
is used in granting them.

GENERAL
OPINION
OUR STATEHOOD PROSPECTS As
VIEWED BY THE DALLAS NEWS
WASHINGTON CORES
PONDENT.
WILL PASS LATE IN SESSION
No lime Fixed For Senate TO Take
Up The Bill.

The following staff special to the
Dallas News perhaps expresses the
statehood situation pretty accur-
ately:
The senate reached the state
hood bill this morning while con-
sidering the calendar, but upon
objection Of Mr.. Lodge its reading
was not permitted. Mr.. Lodge is
friend to the bill, sohis objection
signifies nothing more than that
the Senate is not yet ready to fix
a time for its consideration. The
subsidy bill is unfinished business.
There is no likelihood of its being
brought to vote for several
weeks, and its advocates will prob
ably give way to the statehood
bill when Mr.. Beveridge can get
the Senate in a humor to accede to
his opportunities. When this will
be not even Mr.. Beveridge knows,
though he has expressed the hope
that within ten days he will be
able to have time fixed for its
consideration.
The most significant statement,
when the bill was reached, was
that of Mr.. Foraker, who took oc-
casion to say that he had no inten-
tion of filibustering on the mea-
sure. He declared he was ready
to vote on it at any time. This
is taken to mean that Mr.. Foraker
is sure that majority of the Sen
ate are opposed to the measure
as it came from the House. He
had frequently asserted as much,
and it is now admitted by num-
Der of the bills supporters that the
effort to inhict statehood on Ari-
zona will not be sanctioned by the
Senate,
The general opinion is that
rather late in the session the bill
will be sent back to the House
short of the provision respecting
New Mexico and Arizona. and
that the House will concur in
the amendment. The president,
it is said on good authority, has
foftihed himself for defeat on this
part of the white house program.

CITY ENGINEER At WORK
Busy Preparing Plans for Water
works and Sewer Extensions

An Express reporter dropped in
to City Engineer Colby's Office
oyer Morgan & Cribs yesterday
and found him busy over his desk
with blue prints, mysterious draw
ing instruments and other tools,
nameless to landsman. Mr.. Colby
is preparing plans and specifications
for the waterworks and sewer ex-
tensions. He hopes 10 have them
completed in a week or ten days,
or in time TO present to the con-
tractors and call for bids by March
Ist.
Mr.. Colby will also make close
estimate on the cost of the propos-
ed exsensions for the information
of the council He is of the opin-
ion that as asruIe more satisfactory
results can be obtained by having
the plans and specifications made
by the city engineer, the city makes
substantial saving since it would
cost at least three per cent of the
amount of the contract to have it
done by special engineer. This
would amount to about $500.
The city will also save the cost
of superintendent on the contract
amounting to about $Ioo per month
With premium of $1,000 on the
bonds and the sum thus saved the
council ought to have sufficient
funds TO amply care for all the ex-
pense of making the proposed ex-
tensions.

Monument which by the way is

there's guard who won't hurt you

these uniformed fellows. We met
a group of Senators including Mr..
Beveridge of Indiana. Several
men were in the hallway and on
the veranda and we passed down
the hall and turned to the left and
entered the Cabinet room, where
about twenty gentlemen and on-
lady were seated or standing. 1t

between the Presidents Office and
the Cabinet room rolled open and,
he stepped nimbly forward to the
first man on the right, a Senator
from Pennsylvania, whom he took
into his Office and they were seated
for three minutes conversation.
Then the President was back to
the Cabinet room in his brisk
Strenuous way. Here he met

man OF our time. Ono never knows
