USEFUL REFORMS
The state of Maryland has a gov,
ernor who is doing things; he is NOT
content to follow the old ruts, but is
intent on the improvement of the
material and political conditions of
all the people. With that end in
view, Governor Crothers organized a
Farmers Commission to meet with
the farmers clubs and other farmers
organizations in various sections OF
the state to assist in urging forward
all improvements for up-to-date farm
ing and fruit-growing and to dispose
of agricultural products to the best
advantage. Through the efforts of
Governor Crothers and the Commits
sion, the most eminent and practical
agriculturalists will be present at the
series Of meetings arranged for, and
will lecture on all improved methods
of agriculture and horticulture. The
new plan of cooperative selling of
farm products, which is largely in
creasing the price Of products to the
farmers where organized, will be ex-
planned and all farmers will be urged
to follow it. Governor Crothers will
address these meetings on such sub
jects as THE Needs of Maryland, Z"
which are no doubt many in that
state and in every state in the Union.
This practical work to discover
the needs Of the farmers and thus
add to the productive energy of The
state is worthy to be followed by the
executives Of other Commonwealth.
When farming is profitable, other in
terests participate in the wealth Gre
ated; therefore, the statesman's first
should be the welfare of the
agrieultarists.

# the government report of enor-
nous crops is correct, why do prices
keep up? Evidently the spectators
do not believe that the crop reports
are reliable. The truth probably is
that the crops already gathered are
reasonably good; the prospect for a
large crop of corn depends on frost
keeping off in September in the
Northern portion Of the corn belt,
and the cotton crop viii be a little
below the average.

A POLITICAL CERTAINTY

1t may not be a bad guess that the
Colonel has stirred up all the Repub-
lican rumpus to force President Taft
to carry out my policies" and the
new policy Of making 8 goat Of Can
non as a peace-offering to the In
surgents is one Of the results. But
during the hot weather, the silly sea-
son is predominant and most any
thing goes that a smart correspond
ent can invent or allow someone to
stuff him with. The only thing GER
tain up to date is that the victorious
Insurgents have forced the minds of
the Republican leaders into the be-
lief that something must be done in
the way Of a change Of policy from
the old rut.
Both Beverly and Oyster Bay
statesmen show strong indications
that they are scared at the evident
trend away from Republieanism.
Both seem willing to make a scape-
goat Of Cannon, but he won't stay
put" in tee wilderness. Son-in-laW
Longworth, after a long interview
with President Taft, tries to bind the
sins of omission and commission upon
that old goat Cannon, which he
would hardly have done without a
trip from the President and the ap-
proval Of the Colonel. Thus far, it
is possible that Beverly and Oyster
Bay are in unison. But the Beverly
statesman is reported to be hugging
the standpat Vice-President Sherman
to his bosom, while reports from
Oyster Bay strongly Indicate that
Colonel Roosevelt has relegated him
to the goat class, or even worse.

NEGLIGENCE Ar CRossINe.

NEGLIGENCE AT CROSSING
Haven't we had nearly enough
narrow escapes at the Smith stree
crossing?
There have been several instances
of late when the gates have beer
raised and trolley cars and other We.
hicles have been allowed to pass
onto the tracks in front of a rapidly
approaching train. Perhaps the
closest shave occurred Wednesday
night when the f1agman again raised
the gates in front of a train and a
trolley car, filed with passengers
was saved only by the prompt work
of the motorman reversing his cal
and backing it off the track in time
to avoid a crash.
The fact that such close calls have
occurred so often here makes this
last escape a serious one. If the
railroad company refuses to put ca
pable men in charge of its gates at
the crossings there ought to be
some action taken whereby the lives
of the people can be protected. 1t
is a notorious fact that men are put
in charge of the gates who are
usually incapacitated for other serv-
ice.
When we realize that peoples
lives are at stake, it is readily seen
that tending the gates at a cross
ing, especially the one at the main
street in a city Of this size, is a very
important duty. We do not believe
the railroad company wants to face
an accident In which scores Of lives
are wiped out through the negli-
gence of one of it's employees any
more than the community wants to
experience the horror of such an
event.
Wednesday night a freight train
was passing in n direction and as
soon as 1t had gone by the gate
tender lifted the gates without no.
ticing the rapid approach of a pas
senger train from the opposite direc-
ton. Had the accident occurred the
railroad company would be entirely
to blame.
We have had enough warnings at
this particular crossing of late, and
1t is the duty Of the railroad com
pany to see that a competent man is
placed in charge of the crossing I'M
til such a time as the death trap
can be abolished.
