GOOD-ROAD PIONEERS.

By an act Of the last legislature
the Highways Division of the
Maryland Geological Survey was
consolidated with the State Road
Commission, and to the latter
will be now transferred all the re-
cords, data and other possessions
of the older department, says
the Baltimore American. To
the commission will be intrusted
a broader field and wider scope.
In addition to the work of i'm
proving state highways with the
millions Of dollars provided by
the legislature for that purpose
that commission will have the
additional task of building those
roads, the cost of which is borne
in equal parts by the state and
the counties benefited by the i'm
provements. In this double
work the commission will follow
a well-defined policy, devoting
the fund for the whole payment
of road work to highways be-
tween county seats and centers
of population, while the state
aided roads will be the lateral
roads.
From the Geological Survey
the State Road Commission will
receive an inheritance which has
been gained by ceaseless labor,
desperate and discouraging fights
against what seemed to be insur-
mountable odds and the practice
of rigid economy. 1t has been
only through the industry and
practical work of the Geological
Survey that modern road-build-
ing in Maryland has been made
possible. The Baltimore-W
ington Boulevard is a monument
to its zeal. The names Of DR..
William Bullock Clark; of Mr.. A.
N. Johnson, the first expert
road-builder of Maryland; of the
late DR.. Gilman, president of
Johns Hopkins University; of
President R. W. Sylvester, of the
Agricultural College; of former
Governors John Walter Smith
and Edwin Warfeld and of Comp
troller Herring and former Comp
troller Gorden Atkinson, of Mr..
Samuel Shoemaker and of Mr.. B.
Howard Haman will go down in
to Maryland history as the men
who dared to face an adverse
public sentiment and star road
building in the state upon a sane,
sure and safe foundation.

1t is now said that the Balling-
er investigation will cost the
government $50, 900. The ap-
pointment Of Mr.. BaIlinger to a
Cabinet position was a bad days
work and has reflected no credit
upon Mr.. Taft who seems deter
mined to stand by his secretary
despite what has been brought
out in evidence against him.

and says that the Keokuk water pow
er dam will not be built and in proof
of his assertion says many Hamilton
and Keokuk business men are of the
same opinion, because travelling man
said so. He also compares the water
power dam with the Nauvoo trolley
that was to be built, after great
amount Of surveying had been done
and other work accomplished, and 30
trolley yet. The fellow ought to take
IA trip to the scene of labor and also
interview the business men In both
towns about the dam. He may return
with different opinion.
The Priscilla club will be entertained
by Mrs. J. A. Bortz next Thursday
afternoon.
Mr.. Congressman of this district will
soon send out the annual quota of

James Henry Stark Has Certainly
Stirred up the Patriotic Citizens
by His Attack on
Notables.
D. A. R. is UP IN ARMS
Do Not Like the Way the Author
Speaks. Of Ben Franklin, Pat
rick Henry, John Adams
And Others.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Just let James
vilifier Of Patrick Henry, JOIN Adams,
Samuel, too, Benjamin Franklin, John
Hancock, others of the immortal Sign
ers, and lot of their friends, poke his
head into Chicago.
Would members of the Daughters OF
THE American Revolution and the Colo
NAL Danes make him think his name
is Dennis? No; they would leave it
as it stands, just to show how mad he
is
How angry they are is revealed in
the caustic epithets they plastered all
over the new candidate for historical
honors recently Had Stark been with
in range of the sings and arrows
aimed, in his direction he might well
have wished Ben Franklin's name new
ed had been printed and John Han
cocks had faded long before it came
into his ken.
Stark has a book, THE Loyalists of
Massachusetts and the Other Side OF
the Revolution" in which he asserts
that the patriots of '76 were embez-
zlers and defaulters.
According to Stark, Patrick Henry
was nothing but bankrupt rounder.
One day when he was broke he got
in with a crowd that wanted speech,
and he just ran off on the spur OF
the moment and got fame forever that
any real historian could see wasn't
deserved.
And it was the biggest joke about
Benjamin Franklin Not many folk
knew it until Stark let it out. But
Ben lost his job in the Boston postoffice
because he would open letters. He
was sixty-seven years old when they
let him go and ought to have known
better.
John Hancock wasn't so much eth
er. Once he had SIT 1000 of Harvard
college funds in his pocket and re
fused to give it up, and after he died
his relatives nearly lost it all settling
the legal squabble
And, oh! what he knew about Sam
uel Adams. Sam was tax collector OF
Boston and once somebody started an
investigation of his accounts The up
shot of it was that mis- sureties had te
pay $4,000.
All these terrible exposures make
the accredited members of the Daugh
tiers of the American Revolution anc
the Colonial Danes direct descendants
of embezzlers and defaulters. Stant
for it? Not while canister and grape
shot of the English language are a
their disposal
Here are few of the missiles aimee
at Stark: "Ignoramus.'' "notoriet.

'ssensationalist," and 'faker"

How the buffalo sheds caught afire

Bill Extending Suffrage to Women Or
dered TO Third READING.

The bill introduced by Mr. Hunt of
New Haven extending the right OF suf-
irdse 10 women on question relating to
the sale Of intoxicating liquor brought
out the longest and most serious discus
sion IN the House At Montpelier Friday
morning. The bill was finally ordered
To third reading, but its life is not Vet
secure, as several who are opposed TO II
will make still further opposition when
the bill comes up for passage 1t was
reported from the joint committee on
temperance without recommendation
Mr.. Hunt of New Haven spoke of the
good results from allowing women to vote
in school matters, and argued an equal
advancement in public thought If they
were allowed to vote on the question
whether or not intoxicating liquor should
be sold in the towns and cities in which
they reside.
Mr.. Kennedy of Wiliston offered an
amendment which practically excluded
women from the right to vote on the
liquor question, leaving the law as IL is
at present. The debate was largely on
the amendment This amendment was
favored by Mr.. CARL OF Canaan and Mr.
Webster of Swanton. 1t was opposed bv
Mr.. Boyce of Waterbury. Mr.. Daniels OF
Warren, MIR. Williams of Peacham. Mr.
Wright of Westminster, Mr.. Bailey of
randolph. Mr.. Ives of Mount Holly and
a half dozen others. The amendment
was killed and the bill was ordered to a
third reading with a laundering yes.

Protest Against Selling the Steamers.
Brattleboro, Dec. 20. 1910
Editor OF The Phoenix

bIdlueDOTO, Dec. 20, 1910.
Editor OF The Phoenix
I notice in the advertising columns Of
a late issue OF your paper that the board
OF bailins are advertising for sale two Of
the village steamers. l would most .e-
spectfully like to inquire II this is con-
sidered sound Judgment based on practi-
cal experience of what large conflagra-
ton means, provided something might
happen to lessen the pressure or the
water system.
There has never been a practical test
OF the present system at fire where six
or eight working streams were brought
INTO US" on Main street. Do not other
cities hold steamers in reserve, no mat
the how good a water system they have?
At fire in Springfield, Mass, last Satur-
day evening the department had ten or
twelve streams Of water on the fire at a
pressure of 40 lbs, yet they called two Of
their steamers into use. 1t costs but a
trifie to store these engines, ana there
may come time when the value Of them
VIII amount to more than many times the
paltry sum they can be sold for. II was
to be expected that one of our steamers
might be sold but ! think it mistake to
sell two of them. Brattleboro has
simply played In good luck in so far as a
large and destructive fire is concerned.
but 1t does not necessarily follow that
such will always be the case Does
anyone think that If a fire had broken
out in fierce wind with the main on
Green street in the condition that IT was
Monday night that adequate pressure
could have been maintained for hours .
! am only citing contingencies that are
liable to arise. We have three engines.
Is it not better to keep at least two Of
them in reserve In case they are needed =?
Very truly,
