ton of cost which has deferred road
builders from meeting this difficulty.
But the problem must be met and
solved, and it is to be assumed that
Maryland's good roads commission, now
entering upon the expenditure of mil
lions, is giving due attention to it in
its plans for the important improve
ments now under way in our neighbor
State
When the trunk line is completed
from the Pennsy lvania line to Wash
ington there is every reason to expect
that it will draw automobilists from all
parts of the North and East to the
Capital Automobiles swarm to a
good road as bees swarm to honey, and
Maryland should welcome them. The
only thing is that in building the road
which they will use it ought not TO be
forgotten that they are destructive OF
Old-style roads. II is unsafe to go on
the assumption that roads will not be
used extensively by automobiles. But
the enterprising State will be that
which hopes TO be popular with them.

APPOINT THE MUNICIPAL AR
CHITECT ON HIS MERITS.

Congress has allowed the District
Commissioners a salary of $4,000 year
for the new post of municipal architect.
OF course no eminent architect can be
obtained for any such sum. Of course
the Commissioners must do their best
with the sum at hand. But the people
of the District have a right to expect
of the Commissioners that they will
make the appointment TO this office in
the light of these manifest needs:
That the municipal architect shall
have training to do well the special
work which viii constitute 90 per cent
of his designing planning of school
buildings.
That he shall be, if possible, of such
size as to merit the larger salary, not
less than $1,000, which ought to be al
lotted to his post.
That he shall be appointed solely on
his merits.

THE CASE FOR A MERIT SYS.
TEN IN FIVE WORDS.

Grand juries are not muck rakers
The uplift rarely makes its head
quarters in the room with a uniformed
marshal at the door. But here is testi-
mony as TO the merit system which
comes from that source and will no
doubt make a deep dent in the public
opinion Of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
1--WE also find that the heads of de-
partments are harassed and badly
handicapped by persistent and greedy
aldermanic politicians insisting and en-
forcing incompetent help upon them
presumably to pay their political
debts. If the heads of the departments
had absolute control of their offices and
employees, and under civil service, it
would be a godsend for the taxpayers

DO GIRLS WHO WORK MAKE
THE BEST WIVESs

The president of Holyoke College for
Girls, who makes a business of know
ing what is best for women, has come
to the conclusion that girls who have
to go out into the world and make their
own living, when married, are better
wives than girls who have had nothing
to do except to prepare for matrimony.
The head of this college believes that
work makes girls more sppreeiative of
a home and better able to take care of
it. She says thai she used to have
different idea, but study of the question
has convinced Eer that she was wrong
1t is difficult to lay down a hard
and fast rule about marriages. They
turn out TO be successes and failures in
the most surprising way. Some of them
which seem to have been celestially
planned wind up in the divorce courts
before one would think the participants
had had time 10 get thoroughly ac-
quainted. While others, for which a
stormy and tempestuous voyage is
freely predicted by sympathizing
friends, sail along as peacefully as if
marital infelicity were unknown. One
trouble is many people marry because
they think they have to marry. Girls
accept men for whom they have no
particular affection, but because they
are ashamed not TO marry. When
pty-headed people of this kind hap
pen to hit it of together the knot is
without a particle of sanetity and any
excuse is grasped to sunder it.
1t can be understood why the mar
riage of girl who works for living
does not wind up in the divorce courts
so often. For one thing, she does not
have to marry for a home, and for that
reason is not apt to take the first man
who comes along and asks her. She
has learned TO be independent and is
not afraid of the future She has also
learned enough of the world to tell
something about the character of men.
She can tell the genuine from the
counterfeit. No doubt this faculty more
than anything else keeps her from
making the mistake that her sister in
society so frequently makes. Still an
other reason is that the experience of
the girl who has had some sort of bust
ness training makes her in many cases
a better companion for her husband. She
understands and knows about things
outside of the house that interest him.
She knows all about him and his affairs.
He could not conceal them from her if
he would. Finally she is under no de-
fusion about man-even the one man
being an angel without wings. Observa-
ton has taught her that he is human.
She knows he will err and she can dis
count his foibles and frailties. When
they appear romance does not 90 out of
her life-she knew he was not perfect.
Il is possible for women who do not
have TO earn their own living to acquire
all these characteristics. But possession
of them may have considerable to do
with the success of the married life OF
girls who are not so fortunate.

ARE WE PREPARING FOR THE
AUTOMOBILISTi

As another evidence Of the serious
ness of the automobile problem, the
statement is made by the New York
Times that the good roads commission
of that State has decided not to build
any more trunk lines until some ma
terial has been found that the State
can afford 10 use which viii Withstand
the wear and tear of the automobile.
The Times says:
u is not the fault Of the automo-
bilists or OF their machines that the
roads are in their present plight. but
the fault OF the road builders. They
have stupidity persisted in dressing
their surfaces with a finely comminut-
ed material which they well knew

TRANSpLANTING AN INDUS
Try TO AMERICA.

The whole problem of whether a tar
fl should be for protection or merely
for revenue, with all its complications
and economic phases, is raised in CON
nection with the discussion of the duty
on lemons, which the Aldrich bill pro-
poses approximately to double.
There is strong objection to advanc-
ing this duty from so cents TO Sl.5O
per box of twenty-five dozens 1t is
said that this will add at least 10 cents
per dozen TO the selling price. The in
crease is asked by the California lemon
growers, who are now producing about
oRe-third the country's consumption
of lemons, and have extensive groves
planted which have not vet come into
bearing. 1t is declared that if they
have an even chance in the home mar
kets, the California people will in an
other decade or two furnish all the
lemons the country uses.
The country imports about 100000
worth of lemons year; that is, s3,OOO,-
600 worth at the price in Sicily, whence
most of them come. The duty on them
is about sl.4OO,OOO. They cost about
cents per dozen in the foreign mar
ket,
There Is no serious question that
California could produce all the lemons
the country uses. But California is 5000
miles from the greatest market of the
country-that of the Eastern cities.
The Californisns at present practically
monopolize the Western markets, be
cause the freight rates favor them
They are unable to do much business
in the Eastern market, because of the
high freight charge. But they will
need that market when their new groves
come into production.
Now, the theory of the protective
tariff is to encourage business and pro-
duction at home. To encourage Cali
fornis to produce all the lemons the
country uses, win make business, not
only for the people who raise the lem
ons, but also for the transportation
companies which haul them to the
market. If the Sicilisn lemon is to
furnish the Eastern cities, it will be
raised in Sicily and hauled to America
in foreign owned ships. If those lemons
are raised in California, both the pro-
duction and transportation will be add
ed TO the business Of this country.
1t is charged that lemons viii cost
more II the tariff is raised. But ex-
perience shows that lemons have be
come cheaper as the tariff has from
time to time been raised and the home
production has increased. That raises
the question whether the foreigner pays
the tax. Of course he doesn't; but
home production has in many industries
done away with the necessity of any
body paying it.
The case of the lemon is a fine ex-
ample Of the whole problem involved
In tariff revision.
