SENATOR BuSH'S
 WIFE IS DEAD

Some weeks ago Mrs. c. F.. Bush, being very ill, tainted, and as Mir. Bush was in the hospital in Little Rock his children sup posed she was dead and so tele- phoned this information to the Senator. He got up out of his bed for the first time in sixteen days and went home, and much to his joy he found that the report was erroneous. Though Mrs. Bush rallied and lived some time, the Grim Reaper came ln reality on Friday, May 28, 1909. Some months ago Senator Bush carried his companion to the hospital and the surgeons, after a thorough diagnosis of her case told him that they could do her no good, so he carried her home to await an in- evitable result. For I2 months she was patient invalid, and being a devoted christian she was resign ed to the will of her master. Her remains were laid to rest in Griz-

Easily winning an erratlc game by the score of s to ?, the State Normal yesterday, pushed Hendrix into the fifth place in the inter collegiate standing, taking fourth place themselves. This makes the third straight game for peda gogues against their local rivals, the best Hendrix has done so far being to hold the Normal to B inning tie Monday.
 Stevenson outpitched Jackson and was given better support by his team. While the Hendrix fielders made some bad errors on easy chances, accounting for more than half of the Normal scores, yet several sensational plays saved nits being recorded against Jack son. The Normal fielding was also Al, and the game was much more interesting than the score would indicate.

THE EXPENDITURE OF CARROLL
? COUNTY'S SHARE OF THE
GOOD ROAD LOAN.

Two weeks ago we called attention
to the admirable example set by Caro-
line county in building its State Roads
with the money allowed it by the
Roads Commission, and suggested
that Carroll county should consider
the advisability of doing like wise.
More mature consideration convin-
ces rs, that this question should be
seriously considered by our county.
Have you also given it some thought
and appreciated the advantages we
can gain by it.
In the first place, of the S., 900, 900 90
loan, Carroll county is entitled to have
spent its share within it, or ON its ac-
count. The law provides: .That the
commission shall appropriate and use
in the several counties of the State of
Maryland so much or the funds aris-
ing from the bond issue herein pro-
vided for, as is available for actual
construction work, in proportion to
the now existing road mileage of said
county respectively; the term
road mileage" herein used,

have more miles, and would therefore
be entitled to larger proportion, but
even this would g;ra us, roughly
speaking, a right to .O4SS per cent of
the fund, which would amount to
$249, 100000 Yet, by everyone, we have

THE NEW YEAR.

The opening day of the New Year
has always been regarded with special
interest by all people, ancient and
modern, and the general observance
of it in one way or another shows the
Importance which has universally at
tached to it.
But the particular day to be fixed
upon as the beginning of the New
Year, was for a long time very fndef-
mite and subject to much change.
The Romans, among whom the year
anciently began in March, were the
first to fix upon January as the begin
ming of the New Year. But it was not
until the close of the sixteenth cen
tury that this period appears to have
been generally adopted.
The Roman year originally consist
ed of ten months, January having I29
days. Nuna Pompillius, one of the old
Roman Kings, transferred the begin
ming of the year from March to the
first day of January, naming the
month for, and dedicatingit it to Janus !;
their double-faced God, who with one
face looked back upon. the year just
closed and with the other face looked
upon the opening year.
May the New Year be happy, was
the form of congratulation under the
old Scottish custom, as the morning
dawned upon the opening year. And
these words are repeated as the wish
of the. ADVOCATE for all its readers.

THE MERCHANTS AND MAUNFACT.
URERS' ASSOCIATION.

This body will hold a meeting at
7.30 o'colck, p M, next Monday night,
at the Wantz Building. 1t is the first
meeting of these public-spirited men
for long time. and 10 doubt will take
up and discuss many questions that
are of vital local interest.
Among the many matters, which
should receive attention, is the neces-
sary changes to be made in the char
ter of Westminster. Practical busi-
ness men know what they are. And
then, ought it not to consider some
means for having the to1l-gates taken
off of the pixies included in the States
system of roads leading into West
minister?
The prosperity of a community, such
as ours, depends upon it's trade, it's
commerce, Commerce rests upon the
exchange of commodities, and it is
either good or bad according to trans
portation facilities Westminster is
notably deficient in this respect. Can
not some way be devised to improve our
present conditions? Of course, Fred
erick is much richer than we, but the
way it is going ahead with it's electric
roads makes one wonder whether
Westminster could not do the same,
on a smaller scale, if a united effort
was made in that dirnotion Go VIC
hope, the meeting will be we'll attend
ed by all interested in civic advance
ment, and that much good to our COM
munity will be the result.

share of this loan would be about
$3.50. 900 90 after the costs of the Com
mission were taken out. Is not this a
rather expensive Commission, or has
it made a mistake in the calcula-
ton We ought to know.
Then, the County Commissioners are
at hand; we can go into their once
and see what they are doing; they
will show you the books, but the Roads
Commissions secretary is either aD-
sent. or the minutes haven't been re-
corded, when you, tax payer, ap-
proach it for information. Again, the
County. Commissioners view, will be
considered, we feel assured OF
this as their wishes have been
observed in the past by the Road Com
mission, not only in the selection Oh
roads, but in all information concern
ing them. Is it not their duty 20
find out why we have not been allotted
more money, and see that we are
given our fair share.
You can readily see what Will re-
suit if the County spends this money
1t means the purchasing of road ma
chinery, and securing the services OF
road engineer. When the work is
completed we will own the machinery
instead of some private individual, and
in the meantime we will have had the
advantage of the services of an engi-
neer in repairing our dirt roads. Our
present local road law authorizes the
Commissioners to employ an engineer.
And in this connection we think
also. it would be advisable for the
County to employ road engineer
whether they build the roads or not,
altho the County Commissioners have
never deemed it wise to do so. In
this they have apparently made mis-
take, for Baltimore co. has for ten yrs.
employed one, Caroline, Allegheny and
Wicomico have done the same, and not
one of them are dissatisfied. Caro-
line County's action has even been in
yestigated by a Grand Jury, but it
stood the trial successfully. At pres
ent Queen Anne's County is getting
ready to adopt and follow the Caro-
line method, and Hartford and Prince
George Counties want law passed
by the next legislature authorizing
them to do so. Carroll County already
has the authority; should it not use
it +?
= Why don't you other local papers in
the County take up the question!
It is of vital Importance. Speak
out and say what you think,
whether for or against the plan, as
by so doing we will arouse public in
terest and solve the question rightly
We think that the interest of the peo-
pie will be best protected by the
County Commissioners handling our
share of the road money. What's
your views
BY initiating Caroline County we
can eliminate the middlemans profits
and build thereby more miles of road
for the same money. Should not this
