SEES PORK BARREL In GOOD
ROADS MOVEMENT

Have the readers OF The News paid
any attention to the working OF the
goodroads movement? This is not a
barrel, but hogshead, of so-called
pork for the rewrad OF the faithful.
The policy adopted by the State of
creating debt and increasing taxes
for the purpose OF building detached
pieces OF road i'll every county of the
State is ain absolute menace to the
welfare OF the peop.c. This practice
promises to progress until Maryland,
which should have no bonded debt,
WILL CREATE EMBARRASSING
OBLIGATIONS AND AN INTOL-
ERABLE TAX RATE. Already the
debt is mounting up, the tax rate last
year having jumped from 10 to 20
cents on the $Ioo. Good roads have
a seductive and attractive sound. The
property owner and farmer contigu
Gus to the improved road is grateful
that it runs past his gate and is in
clined to favor the politician who
bends it in his direction. SOME
DAY THEY WILL WAKE UP AND
FIND OUT THAT THEY WILL
PAY DEARLY FOR WHAT NOW
SEEMS \ BENEFACTION.
Again, the kind Of roads which are
being built-twelve inches of stone in
the center and nine inches on the
sides, with stone dust as binder, at
a COS tot Sic. 600 a mile-wil not stand
heavy hauling. Indeed, one might
suppose the roads are being built
chiefly for the use of those fortunates,
or possibly uniortunates, who own
automobiles, and already the automo
bile is tearing to pieces the roads
which have been hnished.-Baltimor

THE GOVERNOR PERTURBED

~ INCE Governor Crothers has

~ the idea seems to have become
quite popular and some very sharp
probes have been inserted into the
character of the Governors friends

ten on the Governors nerves. This
criticism of John NJ Tucker is a
damnable outrage Whoever says
there has been political influence used
in the selection of roads is a liai."

to indicate that he is somewhat per-

Roosevelt Praises Taft.

Col Theodore Roosevelt loved
william II. Taft, when the latter was
member OF his official family. He
loved him so we'll that he was instru-
mental in making him his successor.
There is every reason to believe
both from utterance and act that Col.
Roosevelt has no less estimate OF
William H. Taft as President and
loves him none the less, however
great has been the effort OF Demo-
Gratis to make it appear that Col
Roosevelt had withdrawn his support
OF Mr.. Taft. The following is one
of Roosevelt's latest utterances re-
garding Mr.. Taft and it does not
show that he does not have the
very highest estimate of and regard
for the President:
''Nor do 1 have to go only to the
statesmen of the past for precedents.
"The President of the United
States, Mr.. Taft, has served his coun-

The Difference.

an editorial bristling with hard
and sound facts, the Connellsville
Courier points out the difference OF
the erect OF Republican protection
ana Democratic free trade right in
It's own home Says the Courier:
when they have occurred under
Republican administration, the
struggles between labor and capital
have always been assumed to be the
logical result of Republican policies.
Needless to say this has been Dem
ocratfc assumption. There have not
been so many struggles between "a
Dor and capital under Democratic
rule and the enforcement of Demo
cratic policies, but the reason for
this fact is not so creditable to Dem
ocratic administration as it appears
on the surface.
Under Republican administration
the differences between labor AMI
capital have Invariably arisen from
the demands of labor for higher
wages, and not of the demand of cap
ital for reduced wages. Under Re-
publican rule there has been plenty
of employment. The demand for la
Dor has exceeded the supply. and the
inevitable trade result has been in
creased and is increasing wages. Cap
ital has sometimes thought the in
Gfeasing demands of labor were not
iustthed by industrial conditions and
has resisted them. This has led to
strikes which have been disastrous
to capital and labor and the whole
country. 1t Is worthy of note. how
ever. that these strikes have been
the exception AS a rule employers
have either acceded to the demands
OF their workmen or submitted them
70 peaceful arbitration; or, as has
been. the rule in the Connellsville
coke region for number OF years
past. they have voluntarily advanced
wages when business seemed good,
and they have not reduced them
save for palpable cause, the justice
or whichehas been recognized by the
coke workers.
The labor troubles under Demo
cratic domination have not run so
much to strikes as they have to lack
OF employment. Under Democratic
policies 1t has not been question OF
\ wages, but of work. The tariff has
been a fruitful source of Democratic
agitation. 1t is the chief topic OF
discussion in this campaign. 1t is
the stone upon which the Democrats
hope to step into power with the as
sistance OF thoughtless Republicans
