A RICH COUNTRY.

The bee, humble worker as he is,
last year paid the interest on the ma
tional debt Of the United States,
s24,S10,326, and had a surplus re-
naming of nearly 100000. This is
almost as much as the s2S,000,0OO
which was the value Of raw cane SUI
gar produced in the country. Yet
compared with the chicken the bee
sinks into insignificance. Poultry
products last year were worth $780,
100000, more than any crop in the
country except corn.
These figures give better idea Of
the enormous size Of the nation than
the statement that we number So
100000 of people. They also tend
to destroy the idea, so comm only
held, that Rockefeller and Morgan
and other multi-millionaires control
the country's wealth. The real
wealth is in the hands of the people,
the farmers and those who handle
the products of the soil. If the poul-
try crop is worth s6OO,OOO,OO0 for a
single year, what is the value of the
farms from which it came?
There will never be a revolution,
such as is so often predicted by
wild-eyed orators of the slums,
among so prosperous as those Of the
United States. The cities, great as
they are, are insignificant in the mass.
Through the rich and fertile land
the people can produce enough to
support a population many times
larger than now exists. Not until
every available inch of soil is cult
waited and there is not food to fill all
mouths need Americans regard the
future with foreboding.

DEMOCRAT ON AMENDMENT.

A Democrat, writing of the pro-
posed DISTINGUISHING Amendment,
has this to say:
"Among the measures scheduled
to come up before the Legislature is
the proposed franchise amendment.
On account of the consideration of
this measure the present session
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant in recent years. As Dem
oerat / would like to say a word
aneht this particular matter. l voted
for the Democratic candidates be-
cause | believed they we're better
fitted to carry on the affairs Of the
State government than any of the
candidates opposed to them, but it
looks to me like every good Demo
crat who voted conscientiously will
have cause to regret his act. In the
first place, we do not need any Con
stitutional Amendment. ANY man
who is intelligent enough to meet the
requirements of our present ballot
law is entitled to vote and ought to
be allowed to do so. We have in
our Stats number of good and suD-
stantial citizens who will be disfran-
chised if the grandfather clause is
put into effect. This is not right.
Besides, such a clanse would violate
the Constitution of the United States,
and the time spent in passing such a
measure would be time wasted. We
send our representatives to Annapo-
lis to pass such measures as are real
ly needed for the proper conduct OF
the affairs of the State, and we pay
them for that. When they fail to do
this very thing the State is paying
for something it does not get"

FOR BETTER ROADS.

Il is with the greatest delight that
we note that the movement has come
into life in active sense for better
public highways. The question has
been agitated for some years, and the
Shoemaker law was a step in that
direction, but that measure is not Of
the practical character the people
want. What is wanted is a general,
enforceable law covering the whole
State under the management of a
duly constituted Road Commission,
to permanently build and repair the
highways, and not law optional in
its execution upon some condition to
be accepted by an individual, or in
dividuals or a County. Next TO
public education, in the line Of prog
ress comes good public roads, and we
can conceive of but one reason why
such an improvement should have
been so long DELAYED, and that is the
expense. The State has been in
debt, and the taxpayers. fearful,
doubtless, of heavier burdens, were
10th to embark into new ventures
lest in doing so they would incur
pecuniary liabilities too weighty to
bear. Conditions now, however,
have changed. The State is practi-
cally out of debt and, therefore, a
reasonable tax for building and re-
pairing public roads cannot and will
not be burden, and the taxpayers
instead of resenting will welcome its
imposition.
OF course the law providing for
of the improvement must
not be a makeshift. It should not |
be measure to make fat places for
office seekers. The law should be
one to charm public confidence and /
retain its unqualified endorsement.
We have no suggestions to make in
that respect now and may not have
any. We rather think the Governor,
who has been far-sighted enough and
feels so deeply interested in the sub
ject as to make it a matter to be
treated in his inaugural address, and
the Legislature can cope with the
situation. Already two members of
the Legislature-two practical far
mers, one from Baltimore County
and one from Frederick County
have offered a resolution in the Leg
stature approving the Governors ac-
ion and requesting the appointment
)I committee TO obtain his views on
the plan, that a proper law may be
enacted. The Governor may be a
practical politician, but he i likewise
a practical business man, and in this
matter all the people of the State are
behind him.
