THAT SILVER LINING SEEMS
 FAST TURNING BARONWARD

with Garry Hermann and Hank ODay,' stated MT. Baugh following his return yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from Cincinnati.
 we told the two what we wanted. They gave us nothing-that is they bundled up no man, saying Take him.
 But they expressed an interest in Bir- mingham and promised aid. If we can give you the two pitchers you want said Hermann. rest assured we will do so. However, it will be necessary to secure waivers It requires five days to secure waivers. I feel sure, however, that We will get the two men desired. For these two fingers as well as for the infielder we asked for, Hermann immediately tele- graphed for waivers.
 Tn the afternoon we visited the ball park and saw Cincinnati defeat St. Louis It was a peculiar game. The Reds in the first and second inning made six runs In the beginning St. Louis scored once and in the third hammered Humphreys for fair. scoring five runs.
 Humphreys was then jerlked out and Bagby sent to the hill The Cards smashed him hard, but couldn't score and Cincinnati won.
 While Humphreys was getting his bumps there was not a cry of Take him out,' There is still difference be- tween the major and the Southern league.
 
 Harry Sallee, the old Birmingham southpaw who worked here under Harry Vaughn in the balmy season of 1906, pitched for St. Louis. At the present time he is considered one of the leading soutIipaws in the nation. With Birming- ham he was fourth pitcher. Wilhelm, Ragan and Clark outpointing him Will helm is now in the New York Statt

The winter of our discomfort is fast becoming glorious summer.
 In the morning we announce that pretty soon couple of real pitchers and an in fielder will be amblng to Birmingham, and in the afternoon the Barons trounce Montgomery.
 Everything is all right. It is alleged that in Birmingham there is pessimism Birmingham is too big to be pessimistlc Birmingham is so big that we are able to say that if we can't win with these we have we will get others.
 We are going to win. There is not a man in Birmingham today who will cover sl00 waged to the end that Birmingham will not finish in the first division. You will hear 'em growl, but they don't be- lieve that Birmingham will finish in the second half.
 Hardgrove pitched for Birmingham yes terday afternoon. He gave Montgomery total of six wallops. He evidently did very well.
 Some time ago. after Chaput had been hammered from the hill. Manager Moles- worth rushed Hardgrove to the pit. He got to work and held the Bilikens safely. Yesterday afternoon he trounced them.
 Yesterday afternoon at the fair grounds Manager Molesworth praised Hardgrove. "He is smart pitcher with a slow teas Ing curve, and a fast one that has some thing on it." said the manager. He has good control and knows how to pitch. Physically. however, he appears a tri1e weak. and it may be that his health is not too good
 But Molesworth. it was evident is fond of the eccentric moundsman.
 I've had an interesting conversation

BARONS. OBTAIN
 ANOTHER FLINGER

A young man. Masters, reached Bir mingham yesterday morning. He is pitcher belonging to the Philadelphia Ma tionals. He was sent by President Horace Fogel in answer to Manager Molesworths cry for help.
 Mr. Fogel telegraphed that Masters un- der the instruction of Molesworth would develop into Christy Mathewson.
 Masters is a likely looking youngster That he has promise is unquestioned. But Manager Molesworth, in the present crisis. is looking for experienced material.
 Masters will probably be farmed.

apcal for Cleanliness in Our Town

Why can't Marlboro be well-kept
town? This is the question that we
wish to put before its best citizens who
have its interests at heart as we'll as
their own. Is it not possible to make
of our historic town whose birth dates
back over two hundred years and whose
history is we'll known, not petty lml-
tation of city, not a throng OF people
striving to become more up-to-date,
but a clean, sweet, old-fashioned town?
Those of you who know Marlboro 8
history will we'll realize that we have a
lot more in the. past of worthy nature
to look upon than we will ever have in
the future at the rate we are now
hourishing. Can we really be proud OF
a town whose very heart contains old,
torn-down and implanted buildings,
piles of trash and dilapidated fences?
Do you not think that it would be more
to the interest of our business people
to have more prosperous look on the
face of our village? Situated, as we
are, not far from washington anu on
an excellent road we are liable to WISH
tors and automobiles at any time and
if we could just pull up and make
things more attractive it is certain that
they will want to return and in this
way will bring more money here.
Right now with Spring coming and
Nature trying her best to make the
world more beautiful let US try to ex-
tend our Spring cleaning to the streets
of our home town. am sure that II
the business people of Marlboro will go
ahead and each one do some little thing
toward the improvement of our streets
with the help of outsiders who are in
terested in this good work, we will
soon have pretty and very picturesque
town.
NOT A SUFFRAGETTE.

! are absolutely essential first steps to
an Ineligible system of public high
ways. What has been done has cost
money. Is it to be thrown away by
abolishing the office of permanent En-
gineer?
Again: Compare the annual state
ment of the Highway Commissioners
of l909-10 with that of the Road Direc-
tors for 1901 and the latter with the
statement to come out this month in
the county papers for l9ll-12. Which
is of the most value to the taxpayers,
allowing them an intelligent idea of
where the money is going? Are not all
these things necessary first steps and
are they to be abolished?
The statement to come out this
month, in accordance with the present
law shows the exact amount apportion-
ed to each election district according
to its road mileage, showing the
amounts by which some districts have
overdraWn and others underdrawn.
The present law guarantees that these
amounts be equalized yet our worthy
Law-maker tells US it is not possible
under the present act.
Now Senator Wells, to whom usual
courtesy would have offered the first
opportunity to amend, and the officials
under the present law also, are we'll
aware of the inadequacy of this system
or of any system which has only such
annual resources as at present, but it
has evidently seemed best to him to go
slowly in amendment, making sure first
by thorough trial of the present law,
what amendments are needed. The
suggestion that another road district
be added was made to him some months
ago and favorably entertained and also
one for making available by bond issue,
a considerable sum for the permanent
improvement of certain roads to be
maintained under the present system
and funds redeemed also from present
levy without increase.
In judging of the effectiveness of the
present system the taxpayers should
not forget that since the passage of the
law only 20 cents of the rate have gone
to the roads and bridges where former
ly under miscellaneous charges 40 cents
was expended; and to anyone who will
fairly investigate, it can be shown that
the public receives certainly as large
return for this 20 cents as for any
taxes ever paid formerly.
For myself: am rather a stranger
in this county and my chief interest
here is in the public roads; not in the
Office hold. In this statement to the
public cannot be accused of any sell
fish purpose for it is unlikely that l
should, anyway, have held the Office
much longer. But if the people of this
county do support such an act, at var
lance with progressive road legislation
the country over, transferring the
roads from the control of specialists to
the control of non-specialists, then they
are indeed misguided, blinded by fac
tional differences and squandering a
probable ten years of needed progress.
Respectfully,
LOUIS L. DENT,
Road Engineer.

A Letter from Mr.. Marbury.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
Since the nomination by Governor
Goldsbo rough of four Republican Roao
Di, ectors: I have been besieged by peo'
nile from all sections of Prince Georges
county to try to get pasfec some amend
ment to our Road Law, which will pul
the spending of our road money in the
hands of those representing the great
majority of our tax payers and VIII
correct the manifest defects in the pres
emf law. The bill introduced by me on
March 9Th accompanies this purpose,
and 1 trust will not receive any mere
factional opposition from any one as 1t
ia both Democratic and an economical
measure.
In brief, it provides, without chang
ing the genera, system for permanent
road work, that there shall be five road
managers, one in each of i've road dis
tricts in the county, such managers t.
be elected BY the Board of County Com
missloners, who are MADE HIGHWAY
Commissioners for this purpose. Inc
Office of permanent engineer IS TO De
abolished; but the Highway Commits
sions are allowed to employ an engineer
whenever one is necessary.
The road money is to be divided &C.
cording to road mileage OF the various
election districts, thus insurlng to eacb
district some work during the year,
something not possible under the pres
ent Act.
,n u, system of permanent roac
&c is to be continued and perfected,
"a saving of $500 in salaries made
the taxpayers of the county. In al
dition. we will have an additional road
district which under the present law
would cost $40 in salary, 80 that this
bill really effects a net saving, in sal
aries alone to the taxpayers of $2140.
shall be glad to hear from the PEG
pie of the county what they think OF
the proposed measure. and for that rea
son ask you to publish this letter III
your next issue.
Yours very truly,
OGLR MARBURY.

An Open Letter to the People of
Prince Georges County.
Mr.. EDIToR:-

Mr.. EDITOR
There seems to exist in our county
some Misrepresentation as to the attitude
of the Democratic delegation in the
House of Delegates on Senator Wells
reduction bills which he has introduced
and had passed by the Senate. 1t is
with the purpose of making our posi-
ton clear that We write this open
letter.
We feel that these measures were
introduced largely with the idea OF
embaIr .ssing US, if ossible and not with
an idea that that they could or that
most of them ought to be passed. The
best evidence of this is that almost all
of them 60 into effect in 1916, before
which time two Legislatures will meet
and Senator Wells successor will have
completed his term. 1t thus becomes
apparent that their passage will have
no effect upon the tax rate for four
years, by which time entirely different
| conditions may exist in the county.
We have not, however, allowed the
purposes of their sponsor to prevent us
from giving the bills themselves fair
consideration on their merits, and our
opinion on eoch of them has been de-
terEined without political bias and
with desire to act for the best interest
of the people of the county.
We feel that for the work the States
Attorney has to do, 81 500 is not a
large salary at all, and, if reduced
would result in only the less able mem.
bers Of our bar being willing to stanc
for the office. and would inevitably
mean less effective handling Of Grim
inal prosecutions in the county. The
letter of the present States Attorney
Mr.. Roberts, published some weeks ago
fully explains this situation. We dis
approve this bill.
Senator Wells himself increased thu
salary of the clerk to the county com
missioners in 1910 on the plea that b.
was not paid enough for the W 'rk b,
had to do The work has increased
MT diminished, and it will certainly
be impossible for the clerk to do, il
addition, the work of the transfe
clerk This work is very importan
to the tax payers, as it prevents tn
assessable basis from decreasing b.
