AS taxpayer Of this county, / Tlsh
to earnestly protest against the manner
in which the Board Of County Com
missioners Of this County are using the
road system established by law II this
County. in the efforts Of The members
of said Board known to be prou1inen5
among the anti-organization insurgents
IN the Democratic party, to play P9.jl'"a
for The benefit of said ants G&9 Ac-a
Of 1908, Chapter III, Se1LI-n 2e- aay.
at shall be duty Of the dibsvay -yn,-
mission to have "a far 80 pgacLios ..t~'
ell roads, constructed. reconstructed -
repaired IL said County, to be dome by
contract, under sealed bids, to be vNe1
ed publicly. after due advertisement"
Is there any good reason Why road
work should not have been given out
under contract before this as above
provided for By law, and yet it is well
known that in June 1903 the County
Commissioners acting as Highway Com
missiOners, without making any al
te,npt TO have the road WORK Gone IN
der contract, divided up said road work
in the different districts, with from
one to three men, and who u most
cases, were and are now prominent
anti-orgauization political workers
and this year although the At Of 1903,
Chapter III, Section 49,, provides 81:
shall be unlawful for sai5 Highway
Commissioners to cause any public
road to be plowed or stirred between
the first Of October and the fgst Of Apri!
except in case of washout CT ether
emergency" yet the little that IS being
done on the public roads to- day is only
for the purpose of allaying the indigna
ton of the public, and road work which
during this month should be done for the
benefit of the taxpayers and OF those
who travel over the roadssy is to be
postponed until after the Primaries SO
that promises of same can be made, !
which may or may not be carried cut,
because they fear that their broken
will suffer at the primaries OF that ac-
count If there is one thing more th&n
any other in which the people Of thjs
County are interested it IS our roads, |
and, anxious as the ants are to !
win, they should, still. refrain from |
such fragrant politics in regard 70 the !
roads.
I ask as 2 taxpayer, why dou't the |
County Commissioners publish at once |
the names Of all those who are to do |
work on the public roads. They are |
the servants of tho people, and yet re
fuse to let the people know in whose |
hands they intend to place public
money,

Food AduIteratlOn.

The national pure food law prohibite
the use of any adulterant or substitute
that is rot plainly stated on the label
For instance, firm was prohibited from
using pure cocoanut oil in the manufac
ture of chocolate because the product
was sold under the name of chocolate.
1t is not claimed that cocoanut oil is any
detriment to the chocolate, but the idea
is that the purchaser is entitled to known
what he is getting for his money. The
seller can count of the cents il dollai
and know exactly the worth of the pay
ments he is getting. The Government
takes the stand that the purchaser OF
any product should be able to count W
the deterrent ingredients and check
them off in regard to value. Cocoanut
is not worth so much as chocolate, ano
it is not fair that the purchaser should
paw chocolate prices and not get whaI
he pays for.

The impression is sought to be made
by the the Laurel Democrat" that the

and contrary to law and precedent.
In order to correct that impression

The sharp competition Of the Locust
Point Warehouse made it necessary for
the warehouses to adopt the same
methods Locust Point was using to con
troll the trade>and we feel satisfied that
it is necessary for the sustenance Of
the present warehouse system and that
Messrs. Smith, Robinson and I have
adopted it for the benefit of the ware
house and what we conceive to be right
and our duty under the circumstances
If the people would send their to-
bacco to the State " areh0use instead
If Locust Point, the necessity for
the appointment of solicitors would be
avoided The persistency of the to-
bacco growers in sending their crops
to Locust Point has made it impera-
tive that we meet this competitor in
Legitimate way, by the employment Of
those who can increase the tobacco trade

To successfully preserve and jelly
fruit is a fine art and wholly satisfying
to womans love of the aesthetic ane
beautiful. No woman could boil po-
tatoes or onions from other than de-
sire to secure nutrition, but the ex
quisite coloring, the gemlike trans
parancy of jellied fruits, bring an ele
ment of artistic feeling into the process
that appeals to the imagl-
nation. The concentrated fragrance
of midsummer is borne upon the all
that watts upon heated wings the odors
of boiling blackberries. There is an
element of scientific skill-also of ex-
citement-in knowing the critical mo-
ment that dividss liquil syrup from a
firmly fixed jelly; that fires its possesso1
with proud exultation equaled only
by the sense of wisdom and superiority
that accompanies the attainment Of a
modal for excellence in the fine arts
One cardinal principle in relation to
preserving and jeilying should be borne
in mind-neve1 wash your fruit, and,
second, never let the sugar stand upon
the fruit before cooking it.

r. LEE MANNING, ESQ,
DEAR SIR:-MY attention has been
called to an article published in re-
cent issue of the Laurel Democrat,
purporting to give list of employees
carried upon your pay roll as Inspector
1t gives me pleasure to say that, act
ing under authority of the building
committee, for repairs to Nos. 8
and warehouses, that I employed, a.
times, five men Of the number named in
the published list, TO repair the # ,ors,
doors and windows shutters, many of
which were in very bad condition In
addition they removed the prizes form
erly in number to number 5 and as
sisted in re-erecting the gas elevator
from number 4 to 5 warehouse We
also empoyed the men tC tear out what
timber was required from the houses to
be raised and thereby saved the State
hundreds Of dollars, besides giving
them employment during the winter
months when was slack and they would
have been laid off without pay. We
arranged with Mr.. Manning to pay the
men weekly until the completion of the
epairs, as we had been instructed that
the State would only pay bills of this
nature when tie work had been COM
pleted The record book which I pei
sonaily kept shows that the men worked
total of 1886 days and Mr.. Blaming re-
ceived voucher for $672, to be paid
out of the Tobacco Warehouse fund to
reimburse him for advancing the money
| needed to pay the men each week.
l was much surprised to notice a
critisism of young Charles CIa gett
which is so unjust that ask the priyi-
legc of adding my testimony to his tlde!-
ity and efficiency as a clerk He could
be found at his post Of his duty each
| day until late in the afternoons, and
his uniform courtesy and gcntlemanly
department, won the friendship and
confidence Of all who had business viii
the office of the inspector.
1t is not an unusual occurrence fol-
bright, young men to work in our ware
house during the day and study al
niSht for professor. Prince Georges
county can show a comlnoudab.e RECORD
on this line.
Respectfully yours.
