KEEP THE SIDEWALKS CLEAN

In a great many sections Of Fred
ericksburg and on some streets not
far from the heart Of the town bad
impression Is gathered from the APP
pearance of the sidewalks, grass and
weeds having been allowed to accu-
mulate by the abutting property
owners. This should not be. Prop
erty owners should take enough
pride in the town to SEE to 1t that
the sidewalks fronting their land are
kept clean of these things and Il
they haven't pride enough in the APP
pearance Of their town and homes To
do so. the law should require them
to act. 1t is perhaps not well Tor
the Ladies Civic League to attempt
too many things. but the matter we
are discussing is one peculiarly with
in the province of the league and we
hone its members will try to bring
about some improvement along the
line mentioned. Unsightly sidewalks
and streets are the worst of all bad
advertisements for a town and moth
ing gives a stranger worse impress
sion than the sight of sidewalks over
grown with grass and weeds. The
time has arrived when these matters.
though to some they may appear
trivial, should no longer be neglect
ed and We hope for the sake of Fred
ericksburg that those property own
ers to whom this article applies viii
take steps to r,ctify conditions.

CHIEF ENGINEER CROSBY ON GOOD
ROADS.
His Address Before Interstate Good
Roads Conference.

Maj w. W. Crosby, chief engineer
for the State Roads Commission, ac-
cording to whose plans an expenditure
of $4,000, 900 is being made to improve
and rebuild the highways of Maryland,
was a visitor in Mountain Lake Park
recently and delivered the following adj
dress before the Interstate Good Roads
Conference
Someone has said, in effect, that he
who improved the means Of intercom-
municatiOn was one of mankind great
est benefactors. The speaker presumes
it is entirely unnecessary for him to
argue to this audience concerning the
benefits of, and the necessities nowadays
for. Good Roads He will. therefore,
simply try to tell you what the State of
MARYLAND is doing to classify her as
benefactor Of at least that portion Of
mankind resident within her limits.
The State has authorized loans Of
Sc, 600, 900, in addition to the annual APP
propriations of 5000, 600 for the State
Aided Roads and of $50, 600 for the Bal
timore-W Washington Road, for the estab-
lishment, improvement and maintenance
of a system Of main roads in and through
all the counties of the state, including
the construction of several large inter-
county bridges on the line of these
roads.
The State-Aid Act has been in force
since 1905 and under it, at the joint eX
pense of the state and the several coun-
ties, about 1872 miles of modern road
have been built with about "a miles ad-
ditional now under contract and in a
state of partial completion. The cost
of this State-Aided work has averaged
around So, 900 per mile. Of the thirty
miles of the Baltimore Washington
Road in the states hands 20 miles are
completed The average cost per mile

FEAR OF BRYAN faint.

Democrats have professed to find a
good deal of comfort because of differ
ences among leaders in the Republican
camp. and it must be admitted that said
Republican leaders are not altogether
in accord upon economic problems. On
the other hand, signs of discord are not
wanting in the Democratic camp. The
New York World which is the leading
Democratic paper of the country, but
which casts its lot with the independents
at times, says: The World Yields to
none in admiration Of Gov. Wilson $
political genius. Intellectually he is,
perhaps the best-equipped Democratic
leader since Tilden. He is the greatest
living American artist in the use Of
words He is a master phrase-maker.
He has courage. We hope to be able
to support him for the Presidency"
But this leading exponent of Demo
cratic doctrine takes exception to Mr..
Wilson, Harrisburg speech in which he
denounced what he termed The money
or credit MONOPOLY which he believes
is the greatest and most dangerous
monopoly of the country. The World
fears the position taken by Governor
Wilson on the money question savOrs Of
a Bryan faint and it can have nothing
to do with a candidate who has d faint
of Organism about him. 1t Will not tol-
crate such a candidate. 1t quotes other
journals Of Independent tendencies
which take the same views of candi-
dates And so it looks as if there may
be a division among the opponents Of
keuublicanism on the money question as
there was in 1896, if Governor Wilson
has courage" as he will probably be
the nominee of his party. The money
question may not be the paramount
issue in the next campaign as it was in
1896, but it will always be an issue in
every campaign in which Colonel Bryan
IS concerned and he promises to be a
large part of the campaign of 1912, no
matter who may be his party's candi-
date. In the event that Colonel Bryan
dominates his.party's convention, plat

final plans, seemed to many to be high,
being for the section of ). 50 miles, APP
proXimately SOC, 900. A contract was
finally let, which aggregated $57, 700
made up or so, 500 for grading; IS. 800
for bridges and drains; and Sal, 800 for
surfacing
This cost is found not to be excessive
when it is compared with the cost of
similar work elsewhere. AS for the
quality and value of the completed
work, the audience is probably in a
better position to decide more fairly
than the speaker.
The speaker wishes to state his be-
lief that the States money is being eX-
pended in a wise investment, the appre-
citation of which is growing and will
surely be incpntrOvertible in a short
time. He fully understands and SYM
pathizes with the desires and necessities
for rigid economy and has personally
done his best to keep ''up with the
times" for this purpose as well as with
the idea of securing greater general
satisfaction with the physical results
and he sincerely trusts that the results
finally secured will have the approval OF
at least the majority of the taxpayers.
There is just one more thought and
one in his opinion of too great impor-
lance to bear the omission of at least a
reference to it-that the speaker wishes
to make.
The construction or improvement of
any road is but the beginning of the
problem. All earthly things require
attention and care to offset their nat
ural tendencies to deteriorate, and this
particularly true with roads.
Maintenance-careful, prompt, suffic-
lent and efficient-is the only solution
and such maintenance they must have.
The speaker believes that those. like
the audience, so interested as you have
shown yourselves to be for Road I'M
provement, will be also leaders for
proper Road Maintenance

seems probable, any loss that results to
the Republican ticket through the de-
lection Of insurgents, will be made more
than good by Democrats who will flock

| Habit, is styled by the Marysville
Advocate. as the greatest tyrant of all.
| Miss Anna Carlson has discovered
that some people treat their friends as
| badly as they do their stomachs.
The Blue Mound Sun sized it up
| about right when it said: A bushel of
potatoes is worth more than a ton of
sympathy.
Little girls soon get too old to play
with the boys, says the Blue Mound
Sun. but usually the older they get the
better they like it.
AS the Jewell County Republican
says: A woman measures the value of
her spring hat by what she pays, not
| by what she gets.
They are forehanded folk at La
Fontaine, Wilson county. Already have
they preparations under way for a
Fourth of July celebration.
A confession from Bert Walker who
ever was noted for his modesty: at
am not daffy enough to think can
win the affections OF any lady on the
ball room floor And then Brother
Walker explains: "I weigh 21S.'
Says Miss Anna Carlson in the
fondly believed that she would be per-
fectly happy in a cottage where love
held sway, finds happiness crawling
out Of the back window when to the
walls of the baby are added the dis
NAL how1s of the wolf at the front
door.
Another boost for the q.lail from the
Anthony Republican,: Experiments
have shown that quails prefer potato
bugs, cut worms and grasshoppers
Quails have been examined that had
100 potato bugs in their crops at one
time. Other quail examine ed in winter
have had $50 smart weed seeds. 500
red sorrel seeds and 1900 rag weed
seeds in one crop and this was just
one meal Looks like a quail was
about as good. friend as the farmer
had.
One Of the ways of women as de-
tailed in the Minneapolis Messenger:
''The other day." Emor went on, after
assuring the crowd his opinions were
personal and not political, "a woman
telephoned three times for hack be-
to the Santa Fe passenger early. I
and knocked on the door. The woman
opened it, Oh. the hack already?
she says 'I'll be right OUT I
stamped my feet to keep warm while
she put on her hat, coat and gloves
and locked the doors of the house.
Then she called up three separate
friends on the telephone and told 'em
goodby In eleven minutes she came
out and we started. When the team
had started about six steps she scream
ed out, nearly scarin' me off the seat.
'I've forgot my pocketbook," she says:
s'Ill have to run in and get it, =.
By running the team down the hill we
made the train.
