Yet 1t is worth while to plan and schems to make the present it's very best. If we do this we have solved the problem of life even if the cost remains the same After all, what we make and what we save counts for little. It is the way we live and how we help others to live that gives the best credit to our account. The industries may not all be practical or profitable, but some will be, and those who have invested time, giving employ ment to mind and muscle and lived a peaceful life, have made the most valu- able foTtune after all. The crop Is worth the planting, if that sowing Is work-for Satan surely finds some mischief still for idle hands to do"

said to be held by a majority OF Demo-
cratic senators of Maryland
] would point to the very great
unrest in Maryland over road con-
struction; the belief that the roads

belief of the absolute lack until quite
recently of systematic business
methods in handling the funds OF the

people of this state. for complete.

II Was a Campaign Issue.
During my campaign for the
governorship OF this state ] visited
every one Of the % counties Of Mary
land and almost every hamlet and
village in those counties, and in pub
lie addresses from the stump, when
ever the road gu stion was referred
TO and discussed. promised the
people that If elected. a thorough in
vestigation Of road matters should be
made, and they responded with great
applause to that statement and DC
clared by their manner, and subse-
quently after adjournment of the
meeting by private conversation that
they would stand by me IN such
determination to the very end
Thus IT Is that do not believe that
the taxpayers Of Maryland want good

under so-called Democratic rule"
In the recent state campaign the
issue was distinctly drawn. Senator

of Maryland that ] ought not TO be

that the General Assembly of Mary
land would be Democratic. in that
the hOldover members Of that party
we're numerous i'm the Senate. and
hence there was no probability Of the
Republican party having majority I'm
that body. and therefore would be un-
able to fulfill any Of the promises
made the people of this state for
remedial legislation. Second. that I
ought not to be elected to the COVER
norship Of this state, because, fo--
sooth n 7 should be. I would have
the appointment of the vast body of
public officials as provided by the
laws and Constitution OF this state
that this power ought not to be placed
in my hands, for IL would include
appointments OF election officers.
school commissioners. Justices Of the
peace. notaries public. the Good Roads
Commission and various other general
offices.

Thus IL was that the issue before
the people was clearly defined. and
the people rendered a verdict that

that verdict was that the Democratic
party should be intrusted with the

General Assembly of MARYLAND
