PUBLIC INTEREST In PUBLIC
QUESTIONS.

The meeting at Odd elbows Hall last
Saturday was largely attended. Every
precinct and district in the county was
represented, except one, and all had
accredited representatives, except two.
Such an awakening D. the heretofore
sleeping public, Is y most promising
and encouraging sign for the better
ment of public conditions.
This is not the time to discuss the
advisability of bonding the County or
not; it is a subject for careful con-
sideration and proper deliberation.
The decision to have a bill prepared
to submit this question to the voters
at subsequent date however, cannot
help but meet with the appreciation OF
all people.
Nothing is better for the public than
a lively interest in local affairs. Let
the work in this line continue.

THE INDECENT NEGRO INSANE.

In a bill now pending before the
Legislature, there is a provision for
the purchase OF ground and the err
ection OF suitable buildings to care
for the INDECENT insane negroes and
we have no doubt that the bill will
pass, as it ought to.
There il at. this time no provision
at all i'm our State for this class and
the present Democratic Legislature
will meet this need and show, as we
have always shown, that the real
friends OF the negroes, both sane and
insane, are the Southern white people,
including those of Maryland.
For purely partisan purposes, the
Republican party has always endeav-
ored to make the colored people be-
lieve that the Democrats are their
rankest enemies and they vote at
every election against the Democratic
party. We would like to see this
proper provision made for the indig-
emit insane negroes and have no doubt
that it will be done. These unfortu-
mates must be taken care of and It Of
fers a fine opportunity to give an OBJ
iect lesson to our Republican friends
cor fair and humane dealing with the
colored people on the part OF the Dem
ocratic party.

h WHY THIS APATHY z

Six weeks ago committee informed
the County Commissioners that the
people desired them to act as agent for
the State Roads Commission in build
ing the roads under its system. Three
days later they saw the Road Commits
sion, and its president stated ne
thought IL would allow the county TO
build the roads and requested them to
pass a resolution expressing their
Willingness to undertake this work.
Since then no action has been
taken in reference to It. The
daily papers now state that the Road
Commission is preparing to 60 ahead
and will build from Sykesville to
Westminster, neglecting the rest OF
the county. This is not right; the
work should begin on each road Sc
lected and built out from Westmin-
ster, by which means the people 10
every section would equally get some
benefit from the improved roads. Do
the County Commissioners intend to
allow the Road Commission to build
the roads or will they undertake the
work for them?
Spring is rapidly approaching
plans should be made now, and the
work mapped out if VIC are to get the
benefit of our share of the State Road
Loan. If the Commissioners intend
to spend our money for the State, why
this apathy?

Every community is interested in
this bill. 1t was prepared by COM
mission appointed by the Governor,
and is a great improvement over our
present law. Senator Linthicum in
troduced 1t and it is known as Senate
Bill No. 10.
III il impossible to call attention to
all its features, as it consists of eigh-
teen printed pages, but we were chief
ly struck by the fact that it does not
attempt to fix the rate of speed at
which car must he driven, SO that
it be reasonable, which IS wise; and
that 1t does not provide a very heavy
penalty for the man who runs away
after an accident, which il unTise.
TIE man who runs away after an
accident should be visited with a
severe penalty. In tine first place,
the law should declare that such act
ion raises a presumption OF his guilt,
a fine Ct from one cent 20 live hundred
dollars (Which tie law provides) is
not adequate punishment for the
heartless brute, who does not stop and
try to remedy the injury he has done
to another; that man should Do jailed.
And in this connection why shouldn't
the law make it murder, at least in the
second degree, if by recklessly driving
a car pedestrian is killed We want
the automobiles to use the road, but
we would like the doors Of the peni-
Tertiary or rope to wait the one who
kills M i'm our lawful use OF them. OF
course we would not then helped, but
the hanging might afford some enter
tainment to our friends.
And there are two cther provisions
in this bill. which-we observed in the
cursory reading We gave it, that re-
quire consideration. One is section
40 N, which limits the amount OF toll
collected to that charged for vehicle
drawn by two horses, this Il unjust to
the pike owner, and unfair to the man
who has horses, and possibly, it il al
80 unconstitutional. The other is Sec
ton 15O +, which prohibits any city,
town, village or county from passing
any ordinance or resolution respecting

TAFT A TRUST BUSTER.
"Just put your faith in Dollinge

"Just put your faith in Dollinger,
For he will bring you through
Attorney General Wade Fl. Ellis adj
vises Ohio Republicans to shake off
corroding care and rest perfect faith
in President Taft, disregarding the ex-
listing situation, forgetting Cannonism,
Aldrichism, Ballingerism and the
House instruction.
The advice recalls that offered in a
we1l-remembered poem by Mark
Twain. But there is a difference. The
passengers under the care of Dollinger
were in a canal boat with land all
around about, and then Dollinger was
entirely reliable. The Baltimore Sun
says
1T is the advice that members Of
the Administration have been giving
ever since the tariff revision began.
Just trust Taft and me- says Secre-
tary Ballinger. Leave it all to Taft
and myself echoes Attorney General
Wickersham. Taft and I will wipe
the insurgents off the face of the
earth = exclaims Speaker Cannon.
THE people expressed their conf
dence in Mr. Taft by the large major
ity they gave him for President. They
emphasized it by their enthusiasm at
his Inauguration. They took his prom
Uses as the tariff revision downward
and they got in return the present
Payne-Aldrich bill. They believed the
Roosevelt policies OF conservation and
control of corporations would be car
ried out by him, and they were sur
prised when it was alleged that the
new Secretary of the Interior was
mixed up as attorney in apparently
questionable deals involving Govern
ment lands of great value. They did
not like the sound of Mr.. Taft's de-
tense Of Senator Aldrich, and failed to
share his enthusiasm over the new
tariff law. They believe in fairness to
corporations, but they do not expect
President to 60 to the extent Of reas-
surfing the thrusts.'
And the Sun continues, lamenting
the fact that the President was expect
ed to carry out the Roosevelt conser-
walton policies, but adopted course
which led to the mutiny Of the real
conservationists, and to their elimi-
nation.
President Taft was nominated to
carry out my policies" 1T was "my
proclaimed policy" to bust trusts. In
a way the President has been per-
fectly corking trust buster. He enter
ed upon the duties of his high Office
