Let U.s. Have Plenty of Money for the
Roads.-One of the most important questions
which will come up before the next session of
the Legislature will be as to an increased APP
preparation for State roads to be built under
the State Aid roads law of 1904. The success
which has attended this work and the demand
throughout the State for its continuance will
feature in the discussions in Annapolis Every
effort will be made to bring the great import
ance of the matter squarely before the legisla-
tors and the people they represent. The work
has, in the success it has already met with,
been raised above the question of petty jealou-
sizes between the counties. 1t is now State
question, in which every man IN Maryland
has an equal interest.
Much of this work has already been ad-
vanced, notably in the construction of the ar
tery between Baltimore and Washington, and
the people of the State, who have been able to
see the benefits accruing from good highway
exempt from tolls. in the matter of easier
transportation and increased value in abut-
ting property, will be behind the State Survey
in its request for more money with which to
pursue the work.
1t is indeed noteworthy that the sentiment
in regard to State road construction, at first
bitterly hostile on the part of the counties, has
given place to cooperation, earnest and effec-
tive. The counties have been brought to u
realization of the importance Of having the
work done under a competent supervision.
Where but few years ago the very name of
an engineer in connection with road construc-
ton was scarcely considered, today, accordin g
to Mr.. A. N Johnson, one of the Highways
Engineers, there are four county road eng-
neers appointed under the new county road
laws and corps of engineers engaged under
the State aid road law.
Other evidences of this change of sentiment
are the special meetings which have been held
throughout the counties to discuss the question
of better county road administration.

What Caused This Mans Death ?-Jus-
tice w. 0. B. Wright, of Fork, 18th district, on
the Goth instant summoned a jury of inquest
toinvestigate the death flames Kyle OF Reck-
ord, on the Hartford road, who died from the
effects of injuries. DR.. Charles Bagley, who
made a post mortem examination of the body,
testified at the inquest that several of Kyles
ribs bad been broken and his lungs punctured,
causing pneumonia, which resulted in death.
The jury rendered verdict that the injuries
had caused death, but how they had been re-
ceived was not disclosed. States Attorney
Bussey said that he would institute rigid in
vestigation of the case. He said that informa-
ton had reached him that Kyle had driven
through Perry Hall about month ago with
dead horse in a wagon that he became intoxi-
Gated and drove upon certain premises and as
the result of said intrusion he had been beaten
and received the injuries which are claimed to
have caused his death.
Mr. Bussey, who has since investigated the
matter, has decided that Kyle's injuries were
the result of an accident that occurred some
where on the road.

An Old Cemetery Endowed.-The Bel
air Democrat of last week said "Mr George
K McGaw, of Baltimore, formerly of Hartford,
is regarded as one of the leading business men
of the city and is prominent in financial circles,
being a director in several banks and trust
companies. He is at present head of the large
grocery firm of Hopper, McGaw d Company,
of North Charles street, which occupies its new
and handsome home. Mr.. McGaw was born in
Hartford and spent his early life in the second
district and attended Grove Presbyterian
Church. A congregational meeting of his old
church was recently held and it was announced
that Mr.. McGaw had offered to endow the
cemetery to the extent of IS, 900 and that the
trustees of the church should turn over the
cemetery to a board of trustees who should
have charge and manage the property, which
was consented to. The cemetery is to be in
corporated and governed and managed by seven
trustees-John A. Mitchell. Morgan MITCHELL
c. II. Johnson, H. II. Mitchell. John NJ.
Michael, J. T. Baldwin and George K. McGaw.
The incorporation will insure lasting care to
the cemetery property, graves will be looked
after and the grounds beautified and kept in
good condition"

Of Interest to R. F. D. Carriers.-The
following order has been issued by the Post
master General: "Postmasters at rural deliv
cry offices will inform rural carriers under their
supervision that they are required to present
neat appearance, that the vehicle used by them
must be suited to the service, kept in good
order and presentable that the animals used
by the carriers in serving their routes must be
fit to work and such as not to cast discredit
upon the service. Laxity in these matters by
the rural carriers will be Immediately reported
to this department by the postmasters.'

Tariff cordons are no longer able

economics. Tariff cordons are no longer able
to protect people in its exclusiveness.
The financial terror of October was simply
reaffirmation of the fact that man is afraid OF
himself. His vast schemes have grown so fast
that they give him the nightmare. He wakes
ND occasiOnly with an uncomfortable impulse
to draw in his tentacles and content himself
with less far reaching purposes. 1t was a
Babel tower that scattered original CIVILIZATION.
Put into modern language, the result was go
ing back to Nature. The great town builders
got tired of their scheming and building sought
for cottages and suburbanism. and so the coun-
try grew upon the city. Today the same
happy cry goes up, and the tide is away from
congestion, toward liberty.
No, we are not glad to say good-by to 1907.
We shall hold some of its achievements, as we
shall some of its lessons and warnings, as in
valuable. As whole the nation has faced
about in more ways than one. Spectacular
perhaps yet noby impulsive, and struggling
ever for the public good, we have had new
worldly wise, we have been generous to our
dependents, and have won their good will. We
have not disgraced the name of republic, nor
have we increased in the militant spirit. The
American home is growing more homeful, ana
the American character has lost none OF its
strength, while it has added to its gentleness.
From a literary standpoint our achievements
have not been remarkable, but this is notable
that the American people is fast becoming
free thinking folk, with line art OF expression.
Yet all hail 1908! All hail the love that
over all, and in all, points forward, and for
ever repeats, On earth peace, good will to man.
All hail the political life that is more truly
democratic as the years roll by. All hail the
Christian life that is more and more that OF the
simple Jesus. All hail the new school OF in
dustrialism. All hail the years that lead on to
an alliance of hands and brain, in constructing
a character of self-surety and society of mu--
tual helpfulness-a humanity of love and
faith, as we'll as hope.

Wants the Town Incorporated.-The Ca.
louisville Argus of last week said: Zone of
the best and most convincing arguments in
favor of incorporation for Gainesville is the
present condition of the sidewalks, which, in
some places are vertible mud holes and it is a
difficult matter for the pedestrian to pick bis
way through them, even if he is shod with
rubbers. With incorporation other improve.
ments of a substantial nature in the way of
cleaner streets and throughfares are bound to
follow as natural result"

Filston Farm Not Bankrupt.-The petit
ton of the creditors of the Filston Farm Com
pany, an organization of the late Henry D.
Perky, who founded Dread Institute in Balti-
more county, to have the concern adiudged a
bankrupt, was heard few days ago by Judge
Norris in the U. s. District Court, and dis
missed. The court ruled, from the testimony
adduced, that the company was not corpora
ton engaged principally in manufacturing or
mercantile pursuits and could not therefore,
be declared an involuntary bankrupt. The
fact that the Filston Company was engaged
chiefly in farming and was known as farm
ing enterprise, rendered it exempt.

Perry Hall, 18th District.-Plenty Of poul.

markets but the weather of the early part of

poultry.
The farmers of this neighborhood are becom-
ing thoroughly walked up on the road question
and this is not to be wondered at when the
condition of the Belair road is considered. And
some of the county roads are very little better.
Some of the latter have had nothing done to
them this season and this seems difficult to
understand. Something should be done as
soon as conditions will permit.

The Collection of. Toll Stopped by the
Court-Judge Duncan has signed an order
forbidding the Baltimore and Jerusalem Turn
pike Company to charge tolls on any part of
its turnpike road within the limits of Balti-
more county.
An order was passed by the court on April
9th, 1906, confirming the inquisition of sher-
ifs jury and FORGETTING the right of the COM
pany to collect tolls on that section of its road
extending from Putty Hill to the Hartford
county line, a distance of about 81 miles.
The company having failed to repair the
upper section of its road within the time pre-
scribed by law, the petitioners in the case asked
the court to sign the order forbidding the COM
pany from collecting tolls on the lower section
of its road, as well as the upper section. This
virtually means that the company can now
collect tools only on that section of its road ly-
ing within the city limits.
The petitioners in the case were Messrs. Van
Brant Rittenhouse, E. ]. Bell, William Ankart,
Joseph Kraft, Peter Gerst and August R.
Schroeder. Mr.. Elmer R. Halle represented
the petitioners.
