Even the administration organs are
kicking at the way "trust busting" prom
ises are being carried out by the Roose-
welt regime, as witness the Washington
Posts complaint, and it an administration
mouthpiece : Congress has provided
laws, money and machinery. Yet the
greatest trust in the country has not been
prosecuted. 1t is this great fact which is
disappointing to friends of the admins
tration. The message and the report con-
firm the general impression that the
Standard Oil company is violating the
law. While waiting upon congress to
perfect a law correcting railroad rate
evils, it will be difficult to convince the
public that the department of justice
could not wisely employ its time and re-
sources in prosecuting the big trusts
under the laws already in existence. If
the Standard is lawbreaker, it should be
and lift is not it should not
be prosecuted"

The Mall-HauIlng Graft.

The distance from Washington, D. c.,
to New Orleans, by rail, is 1896 miles;
the time of mail trains is 90 hours. The
scale for carrying the mail on trains,
arranged by collision thirty years ago,
and which they are still drawing, gave
them last year $e47. go. 90 for this haul.
This did not satisfy the greed of the rail-
road barons, SO they had their servile
congress give them bonus of $I42,I75
more, making a total of $1,000, OBS. o2-
or the enormous sum of s., e86 so per day
This is not all; they drew an additional
sum of $222. $40. so for the use of the mail
cars, sum sufficient to build the cars
twice every year This makes the sum
daily of $3.Se7.II for handling the mail
on this one line
The railroads get twenty times as much
as they should for hauling the mails. Is
there any good reason that the public
should continue to pay enough for haul
ing the mail to build and equip railroad
and pay the interest on the whole sum,
and still not own the road? They are
beginning to think there is not, and when
they send men TO Congress who are not
owned by these big corporations the rail-
roads will be placed under government
control and operated at aa immense saw
ing to the public.

Agricultural High School.

Cecil countyis to have an Agricultural
High School, the School Board at its last
meeting having arranged for the estab-
lishment of school of this nature at Cal
vert, made possible by the leasing of the
building and grounds OF the Friends
school at that place, for nomural sum.
Commissioner Carey says Of this inno-
walton:
1.-THE Board recognizing the claims of
the people of the upper part of the county
for higher graded school, took the
matter under consideration, and proposed
to the trustees of the Friends school, that
they lease to the County School Board for
a nominal consideration the valuable
property belonging to the Society that
poses, but now nn used; that if this were
done, it would make easier the way of
the Board to meet the wishes of the peo-
pie of the neighborhood for high school.
To this the Friends agreed.
"The location being in the midst of a
fine farming section, the idea uppermost
was to establish school that would come
nearest to meeting the needs of that class
of citizens, and school having agricul-
ture as its dominant idea was therefore
given consideration. The people of the
neighborhood accepted this idea with
pleasure, State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Stephens and Assistant Ganbrill
gave their approval, and will personally
aid in planning details. President R. W.
Sylvester of the Maryland Agricultural
College is enthusiastically cooperating.
and the assistance of the Department of
Agricultural at Washington through
Assistant Secretary Hays has been en-
listed in getting the proposed school start
ed along lines that will assure success.
"The school is to be high school
having agriculture as its dominant idea.
1t will work in connection with the pres
ent public school located at Calvert, and
will draw the more advanced pupils from
this and the surrounding schools. A
trained special teacher will be made prin-
cipal To keep the boy on the farm; to
teach that success is insured by intelligent
farming; to bring up the child in the be-
lief that contentment. happiness and
prosperity to the individual, aud the
safety and stability of the State and
Nation, are best assured when the people
look to the soil for their support; that
country life and not city life is the natural
life for man; that Mother Earth is the
most sympathetic and responsive of
mothers; that the power that made the
country with its beautiful hills and fertile
plains, its life giving streams and its syl-
van retreats, is infinitely superior to the
power that builds cities by merely multi
plying houses; and that there is deep
and mighty truth in the expression that
Man made the city, but God made the
country"

The State of Iowa is the first to put it.
self on record as officially recognizing the
practical value Of the King road drag in
improving the condition of the ordinary
dirt road. Our readers will doubtless re-
call The article published in the MIDLAND
some months ago relative to the road
drag. which has come to be used SO
largely and withs wonderful results in
the improvement of the dirt roads. in the
middle west. 1t would not be amiss for
our CecillFarmers' Club. whose influence
has been SO Instrumental in the adoption
of the rural free delivery system in our
county, the building of the macadam
roads recently constructed, the projection
of telephone system, and the agitation
of other subjects which have proven a
benefit not only to the members of the
club but the farmers generally in this
section, to agitate the road drag and do
some experimenting along this line.
In Iowa law has been passed recog-
nizing the utility of the road drag and
offering inducements for its use in the
making of good roads. The law gives
the township trustees authority to have
work done on the roads by the use of a
road drag. All work is done under sup
ervision OF the road supervisor, who in
selecting persons to prosecute it, gives
preference to the occupants of lands abut-
ting on the road at the point where the
work is to be done. Reasonable compen-
sation is allowed for service rendered.
but in no case shall it exceed fifty cents
per mile for each time the road is dragged.
The act stipulates that not more than five
dollars per mile may be expended upon
any road during the year. The new law
is already bearing wonderful fruit in the
improvement of the dirt roads of the
State.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

In the closing days of the session it is
hard to tell what will happen. But it is
safe guess to say that the Pure Food
Bill will be defeated. The forces opposed
to it are made up of food manufacturers
all over the country and the owners of
patent medicines of various sorts all
grouped under the standard of the Pro-
prietary Association. They have all
made dead set at the Pure Food Bill and
the chances are that they will succeed in
killing it.
+ But there was powerful object lesson
on the subject offered by Mr.. Mann of
Illinois in the House last week. Mr.
Mann had table placed near his desk
and spread out upon it we're the greatest
assortment of prepared food imaginable.
They were all furnished by the Agricul-
tural Department, DR.. Wiley. the chief
chemist being an ardent champion of the
Pure Food Bill and being cordially hated
by all the purveyors of adulterated foods
anu ACOiNAhCS AZ ehC 4AAt i.
Mann's assortment included various
drugs and proprietary medicines, notably
opium cures" containing enough opium
to establish the habit in healthy indi-
vidual. Beside this there were samples
of coffee made of parched wheat aud saw
dust sold as "Old Government lava" and
"pure Mocha" There were Marischino
cherries, picked green and dyed SO as to
be both firm and the right color. There
were pepper corns made of corn meal and
lamp black, the finest olive oil made
from cotton seed, and short weight cans
and packages of all sorts purporting to be
the real thing but all of them several
ounces shy Of their supposed weight.

A suggestion was made nv Mr.
shelton that before the proposi-
llon ofshe Rhinelander Paper Co
was accepted that an arrangement
should be made with the Eagle
Rlver Light & Water Co., where-
Dy the town would be able to buv
the plant and pay for same with
powed created by the dam for a
period of years.
It, the town accepted the prop
osltion OF the Paper Co.. we would
Of be in the following position as Mr..
shelton puts the matter. By ex-
pending a sum not to exceed
$4,000 the town would become
the absolute owner of a dam, dam
site, wheels, electric line, light and
power plant at the expiration OF
the present contract.
The above proposition has been
discussed on our streets the past
week, and in most every instance
the citizens want the dam built by
the town and not by outside part
les. A another meeting will be
held at the Court house tomorrow
Saturday night and everyone in
terested in the building OF a dam,
SHOULD attend the meeting and
speak their thoughts and discuss

THE DAM PROPOSITION.
A. W. Shelton Shows Benefits, and
Gives Figures for the Cost of
Building the Dam-Meet-
ing Well Attended.
ing Well Attended.

About Is citizens attended the
meeting at the Court house last
Friday night and after few op-
ening remarks by Attorney Hig-
gins, Mr.. A. w. Shelton OF Rhine
lander, spoke at length on the
dam question. He spoke OF the
benefits the town would derive. if
the dam was built. and he also
told OF the approximate cost OF
building the dam, power llne and
machinery. etc. He spoke in a
general way, of the proposition
which the Rhinelander Paper Co.
would make to this town provld-
ing the citizens wanted it.
Mr.. Shelton was not here to
make proposition to our citizens
but to pave the way, and to en-
tighten the people on the subject.
The pre- position as we take It, IS
as follows: The Rhinelander Co.
would purchase the dam site at
Otto Rapids, build a 1917 loot
dam and turn over the same to the
town, for which this town would
give them the control Of III feet
of the water for term OF 20 years
but the Rhinelander Paper Co,
would guarantee to this town At
all times 400 horse power, anc
that they would at no time OF the
year, draw the water down below
a II foot head, in fact it would
give to the town the same power
as al foot dam would.
The estimates as given by MI
Shelton which he based on MS own
experiences, as We understand
them. are as follows: The cost o.
building dam 1871 feet high, soild
concrete at Otter Rapids win
wheel pits for developing 400 morse
power, $4,000 to SIS 900. -
Cost of transmitting goo morse
power from the dam to Eagle NV
er. including wheels, dynamos,'
switch board. $4,000. Cost Q. o.
two new pumps and dynamos -
operate the pumps about $4,000
