FARMERS OF THE STATE AND
GOOD-ROADS BUILDING.

We hope the report is true that the
farmers of the State are going to in
terest themselves in good-roads build
ing and do their share to see that the
work is done well and economically.
They can do something to keep the
public mind on the amount of money
which the improvement costs and on
the absolute necessity of having the ex-
penditure wisely directed
But, after all, good-roads building is
business which requires expert know
ledge backed by experience. 1t is alto
gether likely that a contractor can fool
ninety out of hundred farmers who
have not made a study not only of the
various methods of road building but of
the materials used on improved high
ways. Stone which looks alike to the
inexperienced eye may tell different
and vitality important story to the man
who knows. Nevertheless, it is I'M
doubtedly true that local knowledge is
helpful to the road engineer in many
ways, and this the farmer can contrib
ute.
For the proper expenditure of the
$5,OOO,OO0 fund appropriated for good
roads, however, we must look to the
knowledge, skill, experience and hon
esty of the men directly in charge of
the work. The Commission to be ap-
pointed by the Governor can help to
obtain good results, but it is idle to ex-
pect the Commissioners to spend their
whole time watching the actual work of
construction. This must be left to the
engineers, who draw up the specifca-
tons and who pass upon the work as it
is done by the contractors. That is the
reason why it is so important to have
engineers who thoroughly understand
the work Of building good roads and
who are familiar with conditions and
materials in this State.

have an organization which has, or
which ought to haye, both the knowl-
edge and the practical experience so
much needed. If it has these qualities,
it will be great pity if the Survey 5
organization is not made use of by the
new Commission. If it hasn't these
qualities after its ten years existence,
then we are forced to the conclusion
that the SURVEY as body is not proper
ly carrying out the work it is expected
to do and should be radically changed.

BUSINESS RECOVERY

The progress toward complete re-
sumption of high-pressure activity in all
branches ofindustrialismh has been steady
during the four months of the present
year. That quickly responsive barome-
ter-pubGc condolences beginning to
act normally again. This. is clearly in
dlcated by the fact that many railroad
and other stocks last week advanced to
newlhigh-record prices for the year.
The.big Pennsylvania Railroad loan of
sac, 100000 has been favorably received
IN European money centers. Gold has
recently been sent abroad in large guam
titles and there is more to follow, but
this is not causing any special uneasi-
ness. The outward movement of gold
IS not generally attributed to any adj
verse situation in our foreign trade
balances. While exports haye fallen
off from last years records, so also
have imports Unlike proportions. The
simplest and most likely explanation of
the.outward movement of the yellow
metal is that money is now easier in
this country than in Europe
The resumption of industrial enter
prlses, employing labor in large force,
is yet more hopeful sign that the
country is getting back again to the
good times status. The recent an
nouncement of preparations for resump-
ton ofifull activity in the coal-mining
industries in certain of the Western
Maryland and West Virginia fields is
only Eone among numerous important
startlng-up events to be noted in the
industrial record of the past thirty days.
During last week the cheering news
was given out that the cotton duck
mills. are assured of orders that will
keep them running to full capacity for
perhapsItwelve months or even longer.
AS eleven of the twenty cotton duck
mills of the United States are located
in the immediate industrial sphere of
Baltimore, this latter resumption of full
working capacity possesses a much
more than ordinary local interest.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
recently given out settlement, has de-
clared that the growing crop situation
IS of splendid promise, Cotton, wheat,
rye, oats, barley-all the great staple
agricultural crops that are in the plant
stage are doing well. Grasshoppers,
drouth, army worms, greenbugs, boil
weevils, frosts-there has been no wall
concerning any of these promoters of
evil from Kansas, Texas, the Dakotas
or any other of the agricultural areas
which usually send our crop alarm mes
sages. The price of cotton has receded
greatly from the scare prices that were
reached during the summer of last year.
The prices of wheat, corn and agricul-
tural products generally are at figures
far above the last ten-year average of
prices, however. The agricultural
situation, taking the country over, was
never more satisfactory. Business of
all kinds is tending to a condition of
high-pressure activity, and there is an
abundance of underlying and contribu-
tory reasons why this tendency should
be steady and of unimpeded progress.

At Warsaw, Ind, it is said that a
citizen has achieved wonderful success
in teaching his dog to talk. He :an al
ready pronounce several words of the
English language. His phenomenal in
telligence is also strikingly manifested
in the fact that he feeds the horses.
Of course, this may well be true. In
time this canine genius should not only
speak English, but French and German.
He may balk at Sanskrit, Chinese and
Choctaw, as, indeed, some human be-
ings do. No doubt, in due season, he
will learn to cook breakfast for the
family, cut the stove wood and do the
weekly washing, besides playing the
piano after supper. He ought to be
able to render "Old Dog Tray" with
great effect. But there is one thing
the dog canInever learn, and that is to
be first-class, able-boded Indiana liar.

FRIVOLOUS MADRID.
Spanish Capital a Spendthrift
Town and Devoted to Gossip.
London Times.

London Times.
The note of Madrid is frivolity.
1t is a spendthrift town. No
where do so many people Of
modest means keep carriages, or
at least hire them. The automobile
has supplied a new outlet to an
old passion.
Nowhere do so many people
who cannot afford to have a
motor driver, or to buy regular
supplies of petrol (which, to be
sure, is both dear and bad in
SPAIN, keep an automobile.
Therefore they turn out now and
again for a short run at high
speed to their own glorifcation
and the danger Of the public. AS
for that public, it lives in the
streets and in a perpetual state
of brisk talk.
What London or Paris news
comes through to Madrid, except
kilograms, is mostly gossip.
Important matters appear to in
terest the Madrileno little. What
did interest him was when a
young person appeared On horse
back in Hyde Park in a direc-
toire costume. Feather-headed
and light-heeled, the Madrilenc
is, on the other hand, good ma.
tured and easy to live with.
Madrid women dress we'll, even
very we'll, and the charm of the
Spanish woman is never denied
Modern Madrid is sometimes
supposed to be modelled on mod
ern Paris, but the writer's view
is that there is nothing Parisial
about Madrid, except the skin.
Paris works desperately hard
is intensely interested in seriou
things and producers, thinker
and men Of intellectual an
scientific eminence. Madri
, certainly does not work hare
, does not appear to be muc
! interested in anything bU
r frivolity, and few of her great
, est men, even statesmen, al
much more than names.

A Note From Bethesda in Re-
ply to ''Phil."
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

ISODSSOnlan:
Some noble person has said,
Better shun that fellow who al
ways NEEDLES into others peoples
business, but seldom attends to
his own," and it seems that these
words apply directly to Phil"
We are sorry he thinks that the
majority of our Bethesda friends
are young men. We are glad
that we have some young lady
friends in this community and
wish to say to him that one of
them is priced more highly than
all the young men would be if
''PhiI' be a good type of the
young men around here.
Phil" is an astonishing
character to US. He is really bold
enough to claim a friendship with
US when we have never met him
or if we have met him we shall not
own it, since he is ashamed to
tell his name. AS for the rules
'Phlp' mentioned, he knows
nothing whatever about them,
but they might prove to be more
strict than he now thinks if he
had them to contend with.
"Phil', we don't mean to dis
courage you, but we think it will
pay you to wait next time fol
big Foot" to write the news, o.
if ''Phil'' and big Foot" are th'
same person, wait till you ge
something to write.
Perhaps you have the wfonl
name-the reason you can't d
better. We have a name in min,
that would suit you much bette
than Phil the Fiddler. :" 1t i
this Phil the Meddler. "
Now "Phip, a gentleman wi.
stop meddling; a meddler wi
meddle on.
