Good Roads.

What is known as the Biddison bill
is grounded upon the current system of
State aid, under which the Geologic and
Economic Survey "has," as the Balti-
more Ne,rs says, demonstrated its
ability to build good roads,
Continuing, the News asks
Wouldn't it be better to turn over the
business of inspecting and guarding against
contractors Sinking their work to engineers
or superintendent who know something
about road building?
So il would seem, but an aStOnlshingly
large number of people believe that eX-
pert work should be relegated to mex
pert workers.
The example of steam and electric
road people in the matter of expert
grading and keeping road-beds i'll order
ought to furnish ample and continuous
suggestion to I'll other users and owners
of roads.
This bill, enacted into law, would re-
lieve Allegany county of the expense of
caring for about forty miles of road.

DANIEL ScALLY. Died Friday, Feb. !, 1905
The oak, deep-rootcd and sturdy,
Bows to the tempest at last
The pinnacle, highest to'ardS Heaven,
Crumbles before the fierce blast
SO man in his might and his glory
Falls into the ranks of the past.
This earth is land of keen sorrow
a world of care and of Woe
Tho our days may sometimes be sunny,
Dark clouds will often hang low.
And p rhaps on the very next morrow
Death brings us the message to go.
We grieve when a dear one Is summoned;
We mourn for a father to-day
The fond heart with sorrow is breaking,
And nothing there is to allay
When life S partner, 50 long loved and
cherished,
Is stricken and taken away.
o miss we the comrade, kind hearted
HIS memory e er keep IN view
0 long by the Eagles, lamented,
Will be their own brother so true;
While pray RS by his kindred shall ever
Go up to high Heaven anew.
Lo. It's the decree of God only,
And unto 1t must we all bend,
For our life is like to a battle
And each has his duty to tend
lis only the lOyal and valiant
Great glory attain at the end.

The highly amusing comedy drama,
"Side Tracked" will be presented for
one evening at the Frostburg Opera
House this Saturday evening, and
judging from the splendid reception the
play and the company presenting it have
been given by press and public through
out the country, it should prove strong
drawing card here. The plot is well
constructed, and affords opportunities to
display in natural manner the light
and dark sides Of life on the rail.
There is enough interest i'll the develop
ment of the story to attract every class
to the theatre, as is evidenced by the
applause from every portion of the
house. Several specialties are intro.
duced into the action of the play. and
the special scenery carried by the COM
pany is new and appropriate.

The Baltimore NewS prints some fine
cartoons, but makes miss now and then.
When it represents the rural deestricts'
as the tail-end of the city dog the picture
is an anomaly, Moreover, the man
who defines "deestricts" at all is not
likely to use the term, rural"
The Cumberland .lmcrjcan contends
that when Hon d. E. Dick, of Balti-
more, representing Allegany county in
the House of Delegates, criticises the
President he "does not speak for work
ingmen." This may or may not be
correct, but one thing is sure-it was
workingmen of Allegany who, $ympa-
Hi:jng with the msfortunes of Mr..
Dick, of Baltimore, made him both their
spokesman and representative.

Fact.
One saying of Lincoln is Otter

One saying of Lincoln is often quoted:
No man is good enough to govern another
man without that others consent.
A fine sentiment, but sentiment
only.
There isn't a so.called free-born citi-
zen of the United States to-day who is
not i'll more or less degree governed
against his own consent.
Some are governed by the majority,
many by a minority, but all-in some
national, State or municipal respect, are
subject to unchosen and unwelcome
control.
At this moment there are rival move
ments ripening in Frostburg by com
peting parties, each to govern the other,
individually as well as collectively, with
out that others consent

Isn't it about time to cut out politics

judgment and who can't be used by
cheap politicians?
Citizens, we can run this town decent

Let's have Citizens meeting, so that
