How to Secure Trade.

The trade territory of town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighboring trading points. The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents of
the town. If a town does not reach af-
ter the trade it will come only as fast
as it, has to, and it will grow as it is
forced to. But if the merchants go af-
ter business in the surrounding country,
advertising in every possible way and
making good every word of their adver-
Using, trade will come from an eyer in
creasing radius; the town will gain a
reputation for being awake and it will
forge to the front 1t is the men in the

ing within a certain number of miles

THE MESSAGE.

President Taft has won universal
praise for his inaugural address. The
message to the people has been hailed
as the keynote of his administration. 1t
has been commended for its modesty
and clearness, for its precise views of
subjects admitting of exact statement
and its frank and satisfactory discus
sion of matters less defined The coun-
try has no doubt as to the future under
the President. The factors of prosperity
are all here, and disposition to exploit
them is strong, in word, capital stands
at the side of Mr.. Taft ready to carry
his commission out into the workday
world.
The effect of the message upon the
money market will be increasingly
gratifying, and the signs Of prosperity,
promoted in a multitude of ways, will
bear testimony to the fact that the peo-
pie are prepared to take the new Presi-
dent at his word. Mr.. Mckinley was
hailed as the advance agent of prosper
ity. Mr.. Taft is hkewi its courier,
only the latter has the announcement of
that which is already strongly active
The short session will settle the tariff
matter and give the country a tariff for
taxation and revenue that will be the
chart and compass of the business
world. The newspapers have flattering
commentator for the inaugural utter
ance and even those who were most
vigorous in opposition to his predecessor
invites Mr.. Taft to have confidence IN
their sincere support of his administra-
ton in the directions he has outlined.

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SHOE.
MAKER ROADS.

Numerous complaints have been made
by the gentlemen at various road meet
ings with regard to the roads con-
structed under the Shoemaker law. 1t
is asserted that the socalled Shoemaker
roads are less durable than the turn
pixies, and that they rapidly deteriorate
under the heavy use. The turnpike
roads in Western Maryland are nearly
all made with broken limestone. Lime
stone is too soft to stand very heavy
and continuous traffic without constant
attention, and the only way the turn
pixies have been kept in good order
and the on y way they can be kept in
good order is by continuous repairing.
1t is fact, we believe, that every we'll
conducted turnpike company keeps men
at work on its roads all the time break
ing stone and spreading it where there
IS a hole or low place, or where the
stone is wearing thin. Unless this is
done water will settle IN the ruts and
depressions caused by the wear of the
wear of wheels, and as soon as water
soaks through to the bed or freezes the
rOadbed is impaired. 1t is SAID that af-
for the company which owned the road
from the Conococheague creek west
ward to Cumberland, known as the
Western pike, abandoned 1t to the
County Commissioners of Washington
and Allegany it quickly deteriorated.
The old National, or Cumberland. road.
which was made by the United States
Government in the most approved and
substantial manner, almost regardless of
cost, became very bad and rough road
very shortly after the United States
abandoned it. The Shoemaker roads
have, it is claimed, been neglected by
the county authorities, and if after neg
lect, the surface is not as smooth as
turnpikes that have been kept in con-
slant repair it seems to be assumed
that the construction of the roads is
faulty. Macadam roads, says Mr.. Shir-
ley, the Road Engineer of Baltimore
county, in his latest report, ''should be
divided into sections and a man kept
constantly on each section with such
tools and materials as may be necessary
to repair break in the macadam as
soon as it appears, and to keep clean all
bitches and drains. He should go over
his section at least twice a week and
after each rain " The county Commits
sioners, it is asserted, do not take such
care as this of the Shoemaker roads,
and, therefore, have no right to expect
them to keep in good condition. 1t is
only fair to the roads constructed under
the Shoemaker law to judge them by
the same tests and under the same con-
ditions by which other roads are judged.
The road in question is not question

GENERAL WISH FOR A CHANGE
OF INAUGURATION DATE.

There is practically unanimous de-
mand on the press of the country for a
change in the time of the Inauguration
of President, making it April 80 instead
of March 4, so that in will fall in with
the historic date of which Washington
took the oath of office and at the same
time be late enough to insure that
the weather will be more settled than it
is in the early part of March. or at
least, that it will be warm There is
no reason why the date should not be
postponed 1t will only be necessary
to amend the Constitution and lengthen
Mr. Taft's term of office about eight
weeks. There would be no objection
to this, and we are quite certain that
Thursdays experience will convince
the people of this country that there is
good argument for doing 1t.
After a similarly bad experience in
1893 Senator Hoar secured the consent
of the Senate to bill to submit Con-
stitutional amendment postponing the
date until April so, but the House defeat
ed the measure. SO far as we have
seen, but one newspaper has found OBJ
lection to the proposition. The New
York Sun thinks the sort of celebration
the people hold in Washington oyer the
installation of new President is an I'M
necessary display and that it would be
folly to amend the Constitution in order
that they might haye better weather in
which to hold it. The fact remains
that the Peep e, right or wrong. are 60
ing to insist upon making a holiday oc-
/ caSiOn of the inauguration. They are
going to continue piling into Washing
ton and they are going to march its
streets and shout themselves hoarse.
We would think a great deal less OF
them if they didn't. All peoples love
pageantry and display, and we are nc
exception to the rule. Our contempt
rary's suggestion that we swear in the
| President quietly on March and then
whoop things up to our hearts content
at some later and more filing day Mt
do at all Take it's case at this very
moment. 1t is celebrating the deliver
ance of the country from the Roosevelt
regime. What fun could it get out OF
it three months hence? Nothing il
could do or say, we are certain, two OF
three months later would express the
sentiments that now swells its breast.
The jubilation must be when the
change in administration takes place,
and there is no good reason why that
cannot be fixed later, when there is
much less danger from the inclemency
of the weather to the thousands who
gather in Washington to celebrate the
event

JOURNALISM.

The first editorial article from the
pen of ex-President Roosevelt, which
appears in the Outlook, deals with
Journalism. 1t says in part:
Every owner. editor or reporter of a
conscientious newspaper is an asset of
real value TO the community. We have
many newspapers, big and little, of
this kind. But we also have many that
are emphatIcally not of this kind.
During the last few years it has be-
come evident that certain newspapers
are controlled by men who have gained
wealth in evil fashion, who desire to
stifle honest public opinion and who find
an instrument in the purchased menda-
city of those who edit and write for
such papers.
Mr.. Roosevelt then pays his respects
to the apostles of that hideous yellow
journalism which defies the cult of the
mendacious, the sensational and the in
sane. In conclusion he refers to IAN
other type of temptation which has
much fascination for men of cultivation
and which is quite as fatal to their use
fulness as yellow journalism. He
says of these:
A newspaper which avoids vulgar SEN
sationalsm, which appeals to people of
taste and intelligence, may neverthe-
less do them gave harm and be within
its own rather narrow limits an ele-
ment of serious mischief, for it may
habitually and consistently practice a
malign and slanderous untruthfulness
which, though more refined, is as i'm
moral as a sensationalism.
A cultivated man of good intelligence
who has acquired the knack of saying
bitter things but who lacks the robust
ness to feel at ease among men of ac-
ton is apt, if his nature has anything
of meanness or untruthfulness, to sit in
clustered aloofness and to endeavor by
an unceasing output of SANDER to bolster
up his own uneasy desire to be consi ler
superior.
Now a paper edited by men of this
stamp does not have much popular infu-
ence, but it may exert a real influence
for evil by the way in which it teaches
young men of good education that de-
cent and upright men are as properly
the subjects for foul attack as the most
debased corruptionists; that efficiency
and wickedness are interchangeable,
and that the correct attitude to adopt
in facing the problems OF our time is
one of sneering and supercilious I'M
truthfulness.

when ! Kind Act Returned Home.

A Cleveland paper tells Of a tramp
who came to the back door Of a residence
and begged her for shoes. The mistress
OF the house gave him good pair and
said to him: There, put these on, and
If you want to show your gratitude, Just
happen around here some morning after
a snowstorm and clean Of our side
walk"
Some time after, the lady was awak-
ened early one morning by someone
scraping the sidewalk in front Of the
house. Looking out, she found that
there had been quite a heavy fall on
snow, and there she beheld the tramp to
whom she had given the shoes, clearing
away the snow from the sidewalk with
an old broken shovel. When he caught
sight OF his benefactress at the window
he raised his tattered hat to her, and,
bis self.imposed task finished, went away
without saying word or even asking for
anything To eat Three times the same
thing happened during the winter but
the man never asked for compensation
or food, repeats Orison SWEET Marden
in Success Magazine.
A New York woman once invited a
ragged, dirty beggar into her house, and,
after he had had comfortable meal
and some clean clothing, she sent him
away with words Of encouragement, tell
ing him that he was made for something
better than tramping; that Il was a
shame for man Of his apparent intelli-
gence and good health to be getting a
living in such disnaceful way.
This lady became embarrassed finan-
cially and was IN sore need Of money.
She asked friend where she could Dor
row five hundred dollars, but be could
not accommodate her, nor did he knew
Of anyone who could. Next day, to
her great establishment, man. total
stranger, as she thought. called at her
house and told her that he had heard
she was pressed for money, and that
he had come to lend her the amount she
needed With growing surprise, she
asked how II was that a complete stranV-
CT, whom she had never seen, was willing
to trust her The man then explained
that he was the tramp whom, year be-
fore, she had taken to her home and
treated like brother; that her Kindness
on that occasion had been the turning
point in his career, had made a man Of
him again; that he had prospcred beyond
his deserts. and that ever since he had
gotten on his feet he had been wishing
for an opportunity to show his apprecia.
ton Of what she had done for him.
