A PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

As n sequel Of the work done by
Governor Crothers' Commission on
good farming. he will inaugurate n
campaign for up-to.date farming at
La Plata or Upper Marlboro next
month. There are few subjects the
Governor has taken up during his
busy administration which are fuller
Of possibilities for good than is this
one. Many Of US are so used to fol,
low in our fathers footsteps that
we are not conscious of our mistakes
until we are told by an outsider
The location for the first meeting
is also opportune; Southern Mary
land has been richly endowed by
Nature but roughly handled by man,
yet the old farmers incline to resent
innovations made by incoming
strangers. No section can afford to
cling to the idols of the past without
reason for doing so, and we hope at
no distant day to see Southern
Maryland rank as she should, among
the leading agricultural sections of
the state.

ENGINEER CROSBY RE ELECTED.


The State Road Commission on
last Saturday set at rest allq Questions
OF their general system Of good road
building during the coming year by
the reelection of Chief Engineer W.
w. Crosby. We believe their action
was wise and will be generally en-.
dorsed by the public, There are those
who have waged hot, and we be-
Iieve an honest war against Mr..
Crosby's work but, apart from GER
tain details, their criticisms have not
stood analysis. In other words
certain we'll established methods Of
constructing macadam roads are
recognized world wide and when an
individual opposes these the contest
is with him against the world.
Mr.. Crosby's knowledge ofhisp pro-
iession is unquestioned. and his hrm-
ness in sticking to his convictions
sometimes is construed Is obs,inacy.
In entering upon his new term We
are frank to say that in certain res
poets we think he should more freely
adapt his views to those ofhis y Jard
and the respective communities in
which he builds. This applies with
especial force to the matter Of grad
ing. We do not wonder that an
engineers ambition prompts him to
erect monument by building a road
showing n handsome Alignment, but
the loud demand today is for more
miles, even at the expense Of easy
grades, and we trust that in this
particular there will he no further
war against the Boards worthy
Chief Engineer.

soon as possible after their arrival.
BY this arrangement. one-hnlf of the
clerical force will work alternate Sun
days to handle the incoming and out
going mails. The carriers Will not re-
port at all for work on Sunday.
This plan has been adopted In many
towns and cities throughout the coun-
try. and all reports say that the SEN
timent favoring II Is growing stead
