The following, concerning the road
in question, is from the Cecil Democrat I:
Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear upon the County Commissioners
to have them appropriate some $40, 600
toward the improvement of the EIkton-
Perryvil1e road. 1t has been pointed out
that this section of road is part of direct.
natural and convenient route from NORTH
ern cities to Southern points and that its
condition is snch that auto tourists are
compelled to avoid il. The claim is
made that if this road be put in good
condition that the incidental benefits to.
be derived from the through travel that
will pass over l., will more than compen-
safe the county for the outlay that is
requested.
While we admit the condition of the
road is bad, and that its improvement is
desirable, we do not think the County
Commissioners would be justified in ex.
pending any considerable sum upon it to
the deprivation of other more deserving
and more important roads. This par
ticular road for its entire length is paral-
led by the Pennsylvania Railroad with
six stations within the fifteen miles. This
gives rapid and satisfactory local travel.
ing facilities between all the points upon
it, SO that as local highway it is but
little used. Further, as it happens, the
road passes through section, the
rural part of which contributes but
small amount of tax to the county
treasurer.
Therefore to appropriate large sum
OF money toward the permanent improve
ment of this road would be manifestly
unjust to other sections of the county and
scarcely proper use of the money raised
by taxation upon the whole county for
road purposes.
Personally we would Ike to see this
road improved. As it is, it is disgrace
to the county and State that has been
widely advertised But as the benefit to
the county by its improvement would be
only incidental. it seems to us that the
cost of the improvement should be assum-
ed by the State Road Commission sup-
plemeuted by such financial assistance as
the people who are so anxious to have it
built, might be willing to give. together
with small appropriation by the County
Commissioners We admire the zeal that
is being exhibited in this matter by those
interested. hut it seems to us that the APP
LEGATION for relief is being made to the
wrong tribunal.

THAT ELKToN-- pERRYvrLLE
ROAD.

The Cecil County News has the follow
ing to say concerning the Improvement
of the Elkton-Perryville road, which is
being urged SO strongly by the Auto
mobile Club of America:
Great pressure is being brought to bear
upon the County Commissioners to secure
the building of a permanent road he
tween Elkton and Perryyille. and largely
signed petitions have been filed from the
towns along the route.
The question is one that should not be
decided hastily. In the first place, the
demand for the road comes mostly from
the outside, and when outsiders become
greatly interested in ones affairs there is
generally colored gentleman lurking in
the woodpile somewhere. In the second
place, the estimates on building proper
road are entirely too low. and once
pledged to the movement it would be
found TO be more of an undertaking than
It is represented to be. In the third
place, road money should be spent first
in sections that are most productive and
most capable of higher Development
And lastly, we believe that if it can re
shown that this is the last link in great
international highway, the road will be
built by the State. the Federal Govern.
ment, or by the automobilists them
selves.
We are not "knocking' good roads.
We believe in them thoroughly; but we
also believe that Cecirs road money
should be spent where it will be Of the
greatest benefit to Cecil County and
Cecil Conntians.

the. Exposition, an army Of mensis now
employed planting palms, ferns and rare
trees and shrubs, in order that the setting
for the magically beautiful Exposition

already accomplished have impressed
some Of the original doubters as almost
marvellous. Terracing and road building
have begun Trees Of various kinds are
being set ont along the borders of the

V the condition Of a
patient, he feels his pulse or
applies the stethoscope.
When a business man in any
line wishes to know the con-
dition of a town or city to
which he proposes moving,
he acquaints himself first
with the condition Of her
banks. Banks are the barom-
eters Of commerce, Through
banks, money-the life
blood of trade-poms. AS
the banks are, 50 is the COM
mercial life Of the city.
To ascertain the real con-
dition-financially-of Tul-
sa, all one has to do is to feel
her pulse; find out the condi-
ton Of her banks.
Tulsa has eight strong
banks and every one Of them
is in good shape. These
banks since their organiza-
ton have been closely identi-
fed with the best interests Of
the city, and have assisted in
every way, consistent with
good business principles, to
push her to the front and
keep her there.
Of one thing Tulsa is just
ly proud: There never has
been a stain or blemish on
the name Of any bank doing
business here. No disgrace
attaches to any Of them be-
cause Of fraud, roguery or
speculation on the part Of Of
fcials or employees.
Tulsa's bankers always
have been, and are today, her
leading and best citizens.
They have been foremost in
all matters Of development,
physical and moral. All, or
nearly all, are members Of
the Commercial Club, and
have spoken and acted for
the best interests of the city
on all occasions. In school
matters many of them have
played prominent parts, and
have helped nightly in CIV
ing Tulsa the enviable prest-
ige she enjoys as an educa-
tional center. They are near
ly all identified with other
important industrial enter
prises, and have brought the
same honest business primo
pies to bear on these that
have distinguished them in
their banks.
While saying a good word
for Tulsa's bank officials, it
is due the employees of these
banks to say a good word for
them also. The best and
shortest way to do this is to
say that they only differ
from those above them in
