Here Is another funny thing in this
years politics; The Republicans Of
Washington county jumped on" 20 the
Civic League. calling it a "Popuiistic
monstrOsity.' The somewhat forcibIe
resolution adopted by the Washington
county Republican convention i'm which
the league IS referred to, reads like
this: We recommend that the dele
gates elected to attend the state con
veution make IT a point to Investigate
carefully into the records Of the vari-
Gus candidates for Lieutenant governor,
secretary of state. treasurer. auditor.
and attorney general. who together
constitute the board Of railroad asses
sors, to the end that we may have a
board not under corporate control nor
dominated by the grafters unfolding
and standing sponsors for that Popu-
nstic monstrosity known as the Civic
League"

WoMEN VIC sMoKE.

In England some of the railroads
have two smoking cars. one for ladies
and the other for gentlemen. In this
country many society women smoke
but they do it rather c1andestinely. In
England, however. they seem to be
overcoming their timidity In Spanish
American countries the lower classes
of women all smoke. It is a familiar
sight to see women walking the streets
of any tropical-American town, smok-
ing cigars as men do Women Of the
upper classes, however, only smoke in
private. The American people would
be shocked if they knew the extent to
which cigarette smoking prevails
among the young society women of our
great eastern cities. Great wealth has
a tendency toward moral and social de-
generacy.-Salina Journal

Rules for a Rose Garden.

The amateur will find it advisable in
stead Of propagatfng rose plants to buy
good one or two year old plants. if he
wishes to add rose bushes to his gar
den. They may be had for low prices.
The younger ones will produce fewer
flowers the first year, but they will be
very satisfactory and in the second
year will be at their best.
They should be obtained when the
gardener Is ready to set them out in
beds, prefera bly, in April although
they may be planted later. The beds
may be of any size and form. It should
be in the open. where plenty of sun
light may reach the plants. It is an
advantage to have it protected from
high winds. as there then will be less
trouble from mildew. The soil should
be rich loan, well drained.
When the plants are set out thor
oughly water them, so as to settle the
soil we'll around the roots. Rapid
growth should follow. The only fur
Their treatment necessary is to keep the
soil well stirred around the plants. If
the summer is dry and warm a layer of
pine needles or new manure may be put
on the soil around the plants. This
would make less cultivation necessary ;
the ground would not dry out as rapid
ly. For many varieties of the rose
which are not entirely hardy an addi-
tional covering should be put around
the plants for protection in extreme
winter weather. In the spring this
erIng-cOn1pOS or manure prefer
ably-may be spa ded into the soil and
viii act as fertilizer. In covering the
plants for the winter care should be
taken not to allow the tops of the
plants to be bent down under the
weight of the protective material and
the snow which may come later.
Pruning should begin the middle of
March, all dead wood and weakly
shoots being removed. The weaker
growing plants should be cut down
so as TO leave but four or five buds on
each shoot: the stronger ones may be
left much higher.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

The people Of Carroll county are
much agitated over a proposed
change of the rural free delivery
mail system. 1t will be remembered
that the first experiments in rural
free delivery took place in Carroll
county, and now that innovations
are to be introduced, the same terri
tory has been the second time select
ed for the practical demonstrations
AS everyone knows, rural free de-
livery means the placing of the mail
Of ruralresidents in boxes convenient
~ near their houses, which does
away with the necessity of going to
the local postofice. 1t has worked
we'll in many cases, indifferently in
some and very badly in others. There
are many times when rural free de-
livery is positive misfortune to the
local community that it is supposed
to help. The Postofice Department
should not force this on any COM
fnunity. If the people do not want
the existing conditions changed,
the Department should be satisfied
with their representation, and not
rely upon local inspector, who goes
hurriedly over the ground.

THE COURT HOUSE CONFUSION.

THE COURT HOUSE COMMISSION.
Elsewhere in our columns, we pub
lish the statement of the Court House
Commission, which is report of the
stewardship of its members who were
charged withthe responsibility, under
an act of Assembly passed in 1904,
of erecting a suitable addition to the
Court House to provide for the needs
of all of the county officials.
1t gives us great pleasure to record
how well and el1ectually this work
has been done. Although over $685.
600 has been handled there has been
no breath of graft or thought of
scandal. Many times these evils will
unconsciously creep into public con-
tracts and it is with pride that we
record this statement. The members
are composed of representative men
of the community who have done
their duty in a most conscientious
and painstaking manner. 1t gives
us pleasure to honor them for their
work, which was performed without
any compensation whatever, and we
herewith publish their names, so that
our readers may be acquainted with
the credit that they so we'll deserve.

Washington, which has more ne
groes than any other city in the
country, is still suffering from negro
outrages. On Saturday night about
midnight, two ladies had escorted a
young girl home, and while return
ing were attacked by a negro, whom
the policemen afterwards caught.
One of the ladies was knocked down
and kicked and her purse snatched
by the fleeing negro, who ran several
blocks before he was arrested. Until
the brute nature can be controlled,
we fear that our humane residents
who are carrying on the work of
benevolent assimilation between the
races will have a serious job.

A SUGGESTION FOR OUR COMMLS-
,STONER,S.

1t has been decided by Governor
Warheld and State Road Engineer
Walter W. Crosby to purchase two
road rollers for the use of the State,
and the new bids for constructing
the Washington boulevard will speci-
fly that the successful bidder may use
these machines. 1t is thought that
this action by the State officials will
encourage bidding.
The Egis has several times sug-
gested that a similar course be pur-
sued by our county commissioners.
We now have two frst-class road
making outfits which cost a big sum
of money, and the taxpayers would
get much better return if in the fu-
ture these machines could be offered
as an inducement to contractors.
The great trouble in the past has
been that our commissioners cannot
get any competition on the road
work, and all of the improvements
made last year were directly under
county supervision. This created
a misunderstanding between the
Maryland Geological Survey and
our commissioners, which was un-
pleasant to all parties concerned. If
the work is put out by contract, a
much more satisfactory arrange
ment is possible, and the commits
sioners would more certainly know
just what the work is costing.
We understand that the board has
in contemplation some new road
work this year, and hope that they
will find it feasible to follow out the
course taken by the Governor and
the State road engineer.
