THE eovbRNoR ON GOOD ROADS
Messaoe to he Leofslature


The highway division of the Geological Sur
vey is successfully handling perhaps the great
est problem which confronts the State at the
present time-that of good roads. Opposition
has appeared in some parts of the State. but
fuller investigation of the problem will be GER
tain to eliminate the criticisms which have
appeared. Since the passage of the State aid
highway act at the beginning of my admins
tration great progress has been made, as 20
counties out of the % have in greater or less
degree accepted the aid which the State has
been prepared to give them. Already rs miles
of highways have been built under this act
while the engineers of this department have
frequently advised the counties and munich
palties Of the State regarding local road and
street improvements. Although the mileage
completed 10 date may seem small compared
with the large mileage which should ultimate
ly be improved. nevertheless the educational
value of the scattered, completed sections
should not be lost sight of. The visible results
of the work already finished induced the pas
sage in 1905 of an act for independent con-
struction BY the State of modern highway
between Baltimore and Washington, which
has already been about one-third completed.
The precedent thus established for the con-
struction by the State of main lines of travel
market roads'-if pursued to the fullest ex-
tent of the States resources, would materially
hasten the improvement of the roads so we'll
begun by the counties themselves under the
State aid act. The efficiency of the present
general act might well be supplemented by the
passage from time to time of special acts au-
thorizing the construction by the State of some
of our main thoroughfares
The inauguration of such broad policy on
the part of the State would be of the highest
importance to our material prosperity, and
feel that its beginning marks an epoch in the
history of the State. The most progressive
governments of the world today recognize the
imperative need of smooth roads, with easy
sgrades, if the people are to reach their highest
economic development. II is TO be hoped that
this work so auspiciously commenced during
my administration may be fostered and en-
larged as the people of the State come to recog-
nize its vast significance.

A Dogs Friendship.
zso.,S TFyomtb paen1d


Never call man dog" unless you want to
confer compliment upon him. The dog is the
most faithful the most self sacrificing and the
most devoted friend man can have when once
the confidence of the animal has been won. Few
men exhibit these qualities under the test as
perfectly as the dog exhibits them as a matter
of course. How many men can be trusted as
implicitly as a man can trust his dog? 1t was a
brilliant French woman who said, ''The more
see of men the better think of dogs" and this
cynicism has not lost any converts by its repiti-
ton. Few men will remain constant and true
to another man through hunger. misfortune and
suffering, yet any dog will do that gladly.
The other night woman awakened in her
home in Chicago to find burglar bending over
her. Her faithful dog, attracted by the slight
sound of the movement of her awakening saw
the strange man and Immediately attacked him.
The burglar was put to fight and ran in terror
from the house with the dog in pursuit. At the
gate the thief plunged knife into the side of
the faithful animal, and there the officers found
him when they were attracted to the scene. His
mistress ran to him, and he licked her hand in
gratitude that he might die for her out of sheer
loyalty and devotion.
That one man should lay down his life for
another is counted the browning triumph of hui
manity, the consummate sacrifice of an intelli
gent creature. yet poor dog, to which is denied
the attribute of reason and intelligence, will lay
down his life as matter of course and without
any idea of sacrifice, for his master. 1t is an in
justice to use the term "dog'' as a reproach.
There are a whole lot of men who would have to
change their habits of life to attain to all of the
good qualities possessed by dog.

Warfield's Idea of a DISTINGUISHING
Amendment.
Q0Uern0r'S Message.

<xCoottJCs
Whatever amendment is proposed by this
Legislature should protect the citizen who
voted in 1869 or prior thereto, and his decend-
ants, because that was sacred privilege then
enjoyed by the white citizens of this State.
The foreign born citizen who has become
naturalized, after complying with the require
ments Of the laws of the United States and of
this State should be protected in his rights,
because he became citizen upon the express
guarantee that if he met certain requirements
he would be entitled to citizenship.
The amendment should also contain, as an
alternative right, an educational qualification
defined 10 definite, precise terms, such as abil-
ity to make out the application for registration
in writing, in English, and to write from die
tation a section of the Declaration of Iudepen-
dence, the Constitution of the United States or
the Constitution of the State of Maryland, not
exceeding in length so words.
Another class of persons should be given the
right of suffiage-those who have material
interest in the welfare of the Common wealth,
who pay taxes, and thus aid in defraying the
expenses of the State and local governments,
and whose thrift means so much to the pros
perity of the State The man who by indus
try, frugality and business judgment accumu-
lates property and acquires his home should
have voice in the management of public
affairs.
The amendment drafted on these lines would,
think, meet with the approval of the people,
certainly with my support.

Thinks He Can Cure Grip.

Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the Reformed
Episcopal Church. who announced yesterday
bis belief in the science of faith healing, will
begin his new line of work on Thursday. In
so far it lies in his power, he will try to heal
all who go to the church parlors between and
5 P. NJ. The Bishops departure from the path
of orthodoxy is. be says the result of many
years study. He calls his new faith cure
"Christian psychology which be differen-
tiates from Christian Science. taught by Mrs.
Eddy as cure for those diseases in which the
nerves play part. The grip is one of the i'll
nesses which the Bishop believes he can allie
viate greatly, if not entirely cure. The Chris
tian Scientists are denounciDg the Bishop as an
enemy of their faith. Mrs. Elizabeth Webster
and Mrs. M. M. w. Adams, two well known
Chicago healers unite in declaring him "only
an insincere imitator of the Christian Science
cult" They insist that he is moved by mo-
tives of hostility to that faith.

THE WONDERS OF INVENTION.
Laneaster lPa.l Eraminer,

. 1L0uttUe1s
The total number of patents taken out in the
world since the beginning of patent laws is found
by A. Fitch, from French statistics, to reach
100000. of which 2,2OO goo have been granted in
the last fifty years. The government fees have
amounted to SAG, 100000. of which the United
States has received s56.OOO,OOO; but publication,
legal study, etc.. bring the cost up to at
least 81, OOOO 100000. Unsuccessful inventions have
probably brought loss of $l.5O0OOO,OO0. Losses
from infringement suits, promoters, etc., are
estimated to have reached $4,000 0O0 900 in sixty
years. and 80 per cent of patentees have reaped
little profit.
Still invention will go on, as necessity is its
mother. The human mind cannot rest. 1t can
not cease to act so long as progress means any
thing and the ideal is far away. A hundred
years ago who would have thought the telegraph
would be practical possibility? Fifty years
ago who would have dreamed of trolley lines
and incandescent lights Twenty years ago
what would one have said about the possibilities
of wireless telegraphy?
United States CONSUL Covert, in a report to
the Department of Commerce and Labor, tells
of an invention announced in the French city of
Lyons by which, it is said. electrical power can
be transmitted without the use of wires. He
says: 1T may be called an extension of the
wireless use of electricity. 1t is still kept
secret and it seems that only one person in
Lyons possesses a knowledgeo Of the facts on the
subject. He is a prominent broker who has
financed the enterprise. He informs me that all
the work of perfecting the invention was car
ried on in the country at the castle of promi
nent manufacturer of Lyons, and that only two
persons were permitted to know what was going
on. Some two weeks ago the first experiments
were tried, and miniature street car was NOV
ed over fat space by electricity communicated
from distance of several yards. The invention
is being tried in Marseiles on a street car line
and applied to several different kinds of ma
chinery.'
Let no one say impossible to this In view of
what has happened within quarter of CEN
tury. If we remember correctly it was in 1882
that Philadelphia had an electrical exhibition
In the old p. r. r. depot at Thirty-second and
Market. One of the things exhibited was toy
street car that was movedfby electricity back
and FORTH say hundred feet. A few got into
the car as a matter of curiosity, but did not
dream the passing of the old horse car was then
beginning.
The spirit of invention at this moment is in
such an advanced stage, and the wonders of the
past have been so many, in spite of doubling
Thomases, that when new thing is mentioned
now wise man holds his breath and waits. 1t
is always rash to give preconceived opinion
even if it be about the possibility of talking to
the people of Mars.

A Good Plan to Tie a Horse.

OCteNJtJlc dUGeTECuH.
Horse owners are often compelled to tie their
horses rather close in the stall. for fear of acct
dent resulting by the animals becoming entan-
gled in halter strap which is too long. A
weighted hitching strap is now to be had, with
which the animal may have good deal of lib
erty without any danger of this trouble. 1t
consists of piece of pipe with means of secur-
ing it to the woodwork of the stall, and a roller
at the top over which the strap passes. A long
weight slides up and down inside the pipe, and
the end of the hitching strap is secured to it.
The weight takes up all slack, and the length of
rope which it takes care of is sufficient to allow
the animal considerably more freedom than if
tied in the ordinary manner.
