A SUDDEN SILENCE.

When charged by tie friends OF
Mr.. Taft with having arbitrarily put
a stop to the proposed prosecution ct
the haryeste" trust, Theodore ROose-
Ielt replied Ilat at. the cabinet meet
ing in which the matter was dicuSsed
Mr.. Taft aquiesced in the presidents
plan and gave it support. Going fur
fher into details Mr.. Roosevelt gave
the date of the cabinet meeting and
mentioned other subjects that were
discussed. Then came the informa-
ton that not only did Mr.. Taft not
acquieSce in the plan, and did not
commend the stand taken by the
president, but was, in fact, not even
in Washington on the date mentioned
nor during several weeks before and
after:

THEIR INDIAN SUMMER.

His girth is ample and his hair
Is frosted and becoming thin;
An Adams apple once was where
He now displays a second chin.
He liked to hear, in former days,
The praise that pretty women gave
But he has turned from worldly ways,
No longer Beauty's eager slave.
She used to primp and fuss and frizz,
And pinch her waist and camp
her feet,
And once for other eyes than his
She struggled to look young and
sweet;
But all her gswgaws put aside,
Her fondest glances turn to him,
And she has ceased to try to hide
The fact that she is far from slim.
Long since deprived of .ecstacies
Reserved for youth, they sit alone.
Contented with the welLearned ease,
That has at last become their own.
Though short Of breath and bald, he
seems
To her the courtly, handsome lad,
And smiling back at her he dreams
And smiling back at her, he dreams
His old dreams over and is glad.

The Shackleford bill, voted on favor
ably by the House. provides subsidies for
roads used by rural mail carriers. That
is It gives government aid for the keeping
of these roads in repair. Improved high
ways get S25 per mile annually; sand
clay roads gao per mile, and class c. or
unimproved roads SIC per mile, annually.
Maryland would benefit greatly by the
Law, as the $1,000, 900 being expended
for improved highways in this State, is
mostly along rural mail routes.
Money expended on road improvement
Is good investment for any section, as
nothing pays better than good roads.
They are the arteries which connect
with the centers of civilization, along
which the current Of rural trade flows
Bad roads mean loss of time, wear and
tear on team, vehicle and temper. Good
roads spell comfort as well as a great
saving in numerous ways. Money in.
telligently expended on the roads is thus
an investment sure to realize future
results.

An automobile toll road with specially
constructed automobile bridges is one of
the latest novelties encountered in
touring.
Two college men who recently made a
tour of the southwest have reported,
among their many other experiences, a
run of over one hundred miles OH road
of this kind The highway connects the
towns of Roswell and Vaughn in New
Mexico and as the other roadways of this
district run through stretches Of almost
impossible sand this toll road, in spite of
the fee of FIVE cents per mile, is very
popular with tourists.
The bridges along the route are most
peculiar, being suitable only for
automobiles. Over the ravines two
troughs are built about four feet apart at
their inside edges. In these troughs the
wheels of a crossing automobile are
guided and the sides Of the troughs pre-.
vent the car from sliding off into the
ravine. There is no plankiug between
the two runaway for the wheels, thus the
middle of the bridge is open the entire
length and horse-drawn vehicles canuot
cross over.
Such toll roads and bridges are being
constructed in other parts of the west.

Il seems that Postmaster-general Hitch.
cock is q little afraid that Clark will get
tie nomination on the Democratic ticket,
says the Hampstead Enterprise, and do
up either of the belligerent candidates
that are now making the air sulphureous
In the Republican camp. To silence
some Of Clark batteries, Hitchcock has
put ban on the use of stickers that the
Clark managers are using on literature
that is sent through the mails Hitch.
cock claims that these stickers look too
much like postage stamps, and confuse
the postal clerks, but we imagine the
stickers are confusing the Postmaster
general more than they are the postal
clerks. He may conclude that the
Democratic ticket this fall will look too
much like dollar bill, and try to put a
ban on it, but the great masses of Amer
lean citizens are taking it for granted
that what Teddy and Taft are saying
about each other is about the truth and
that in that case it is wisest and best TO
vote the Democratic ticket.

William Howard Taft will in one way
or another secure enough delegates to
control the Chicago convention and be
will receive the regular Republican nomi-
nation in that gathering. Theodore
Roosevelt will cry fraud, his supporters
will organize convention of their own,
the former President will be nominated
by il and be will run for third term in
the White House as an Independent Re-
publican on radical progressive platform.
Both Taft and Roosevelt will be beaten at
the polls in November by the candidate
of the United Democracy, who will be
none other than William Jennings Bryan,
is the opinion of leading regular Republic
cans in Congress.
They realize that the election of Taft is
practically impossible under the condi-
tions that now prevail in the party. But
/ they are determined that he shall receive
the regular nomination of the party at
Chicago, and they will see to it that
enough delegates committed to Taft are
seated in the convention to bring this re.
suit about. regardless of the howls and
protests of the followers of the former
President. The steam roller will be
driven ruthlessly over the Roosevelt con-
testants tor seats. and the bolt that is re-
garded as certain TO follow will be
welcomed rather than deprecated or dis
couraged by at least portion of the re-
gulars. They want to humble the pride
Of Roosevelt and they want to purge the
party Of him.
Among the regular Republicans whose
forecast of the outcome of the present
struggle for control of the Chicago Con.
vention is here given, the belief is strong
thai Bryan will be the nominee Of the
BALTIMORE Convention. They believe,
however, that none of the present avowed
Democratic candidates will go into the
Baltimore convention with even
majority of delegates to his credit, and
that as result there will be prolonged
struggle. drifting into sort Of deadlock.
Sooner or later, the Republicans figure,
the name of Bryan will be sprung on the
convention an he will be nominated.
Among Democrats in Congress there is
also an element that seems to regard
Bryan's nomination as far from impro.
bable, especially if Roosevelt gets the re-.
gular Republican nomination or runs as
an independent after Taft has been nomi-
mated by the regu lars. But the men in
Congress who are closest to Bryan assert
tina, thu latter will mol permit himself to
be named and will take the necessary
steps 10 prevent il. regardless of wha, the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Aspectacie which should sicken, sad
den and possibly frighten the American
people was presented last week in connec-
ton with the investigation Of the charges
against Judge Archibald Of the commerce
court, before the House judiciary COM
mittee. 1t was presented when George
F. Browneil, vice president and general
solicitor of the Erie railroad, appeared as
a witness.
With clustering threats he made it OBJ
vious that he was seeking not to enlighten
the'committee. but TO intimidate w. p.
Boland, who has brought the charges
against Archibald aud is chiefly respon-
sible for the present proceedings
1t was not only therefore the fact that
Brownell, appearing before the Judiciary
committee as the personal representative
|ofthe power of great railroad corpora
tion and the great financial interests be
hind the allied with that corporation,
should have made clear by cheap ex-
hibition his purpose to intimidate, if pos
sible, a witness who has not yet appeared
before the committee. but that before the
power which Brownell represents the
judiciary committee should have been
more deferential to Brownell than
Brownell was to the committee, and
should have permitted conduct by him
clearly in contempt of the committee,
even if it is one of those greatcommittees
of the congress.
