MARYLAND ROADLAW
MAY Be REPEALED
At COMING SESSION
Opponents Of State Supervision
in Prince George County to
Begin Fight.

HYATTSvILLE, Nd, Feb 1s.-Ths
present road law for Prince George
county. known as the Wells road bill.
Will In all probability be repealed at the
coming session Of the general assembly
of the State. This law was passed at
the 1910 session Of the legislature. It
was introduced by State Senator Charles
A. Wells, Of this town, and took the
power Of caring for the county roads
out OF the hands of the county COM
missioners and placed them under the
supervision Of board Of road directors
to be appointed by the governor.
1t was claimed at the time by the
friends Of the bill that 1T took the Inn
portant question of roads out OF poll
tics; but those who were opposed to II
could not be convinced that this was 30,
and have waged bitter fight against
1t ever since.
Certain sections of the county claim
that majority OF the road. which have
been fixed are located in one section
and that none in their neighborhood
have been touched.
Anti-saloon League for Prince George
county. held IN Brentwood, much grati-
fcation was expressed over the pas
sage by both Houses Of Congress Of the
bill making liquor shipped into States
subject to local laws. The league
unanimously voted that those members
from Maryland who voted for the bill
were "ail right" President Frank Met
zerott occupied the chair and the meet
ing was well attended.
The board of county commissioners
will meet next Tuesday, February Is,
at the court house in Upper Marlboro.
At this meeting all out pensioners Of the
county must have their applications,
and the verified statement Of all facts,
filed, or their pension will not be
granted.

National Highways.
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter
The popularity of good roads in the
United States is constantly inceasing and
while there may be delays here and there
in their construction, the good roads will
finally surely come. A propaganda is now
in operation in Washington to endeavor to
facilitate national highways in the United
States. France is one of the European
countries having first-class national road
ways, laid out in long lines and put in ex
cellent condition at the national expense.
From these national highways the various
provinces have branch highways into their
own localities, and so the entire country
becomes covered with a first class road
system.
We in Louisiana need the roadways and
need them badly. Our people generally
are convinced of that fact and stand ready
to tax themselves and to cooperate heartily
with the State and National Governments
in the development of any large roadway
scheme. Our own State Government at
the present is doing all that it can to facil-
itate road construction, and we believe that
a very few years will develop a vast i'm
provement in Louisiana in this respect.
From sugar planters point of view, good
roads are imperative. Many crop has
been lost in the fields because of the ina =
bility to transport the cane to the factory
over the impossible roads, and with better
roads Louisiana's roads will increase by
leaps and bounds.

THE PASSING OF TURKEY.

After having played the diplomatic game
of deception to the limit, and with depict
ed treasury and defeated army, Turkey
unreservedly has placed herself in the
hands of the European powers, with re-
quest to conclude peace as advantageously
as possible for her.
The downfall of Turkey as world power
occurred long before the present war with
the Balkan States, which, from present
appearances, will result in the early thrust
ING back of the Ottoman Empire into Asia.
1t began with the rising of Russia and
Austria into great nations, and for the last
one hundred years or so the Moslems have
remained in Europe under sufferance only.
Originally the Turks were Tartar tribe,
living near the borders of Persia, from
which they imbibed the Mohammedan re-
ligion. They conquered Constantinople in
1853 and made it their capital, and for
time held all Europe in awe. They were
the first to introduce standing armies into
modern Europe, re- emboding the princi-
pies of the Roman Legion and the Mace
DOMAIN Phalanx.
One of the most famous Turkish military
organizations was the corps of the Janiza-
ries, which was made up of the youths of
the conquered Christian countries, the male
children being taken from their families
and trained to arms and instructed in the
Moslem faith Transported to foreign lands
and deprived of all family connection, this
peculiar body of soldiers became most
formidable instrument of military ambition
and played a conspicuous part in the ex-
ton of Turkish conquests.
But, gradually, Turkey has seen her
wide domain taken away from her. The
loss of Tripoli took her out of North Africa,
and now the loss of all Europe, outside a
narrow strip surrounding Constantinople,
sends her back again to Asia Minor.
European rule, once powerfulin Europe,
is about to be driven from that continent.
Constantinople will be retained for while,
on account of European jealousies, but
the Turk, once menance in Europe, never
will be so again.
Turkey has been famous only in war,
and her fame in that has sustained a rude
shock. She has contributed practically
nothing to the literature, art or science oil
the world and little to its craftsmanship
All the Turkish art and literature, like its
religion, was derived from the Arabians
The world has been the richer for the
contribution of the Arabians, but Turkey
has left nothing but bloody record o.
warfare. Nothing will be lost by her pass

Last Thursdays Cyclone.

Heavy property damage and loss of life
marked the path of a cyclone which swept
over the South early last Thursday morn
ing. The loss in the Sour Lake, Texas,
oil region aggregates $4,000. The lum-
Der interests of Calcasieu Parish, in this
State, suffered a loss of $4,000. Much
timber was blown down and many houses
were unroofed and others entirely wreck
ed. One person was severely injured.
Many building were blown down and
large damage was sustained in Central
Alabama.
At Milledgeville, Ca, many buildings
were demolished and twelve women and
one child were injured.
One man was killed in Alabama, and
three negroes were killed in Georgia.

Education and Good Roads.

Louisville COuref-JOuTnal.i
It is estimated that there are 25,OOO,O GOO
children Of school age in the United States,
but only about Is, 900, 600 of these children
attend school.
Doubtless there are many reasons why
100000 of the children of the United
States do not go to school. A writer in the
Farm and Fireside believes the great ma
iority of them are out of school because OF
bad roads. Some figures are presented by
this writer which bear out the contention.
In the five good road States of Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio
and Indiana, where there is an average
improved highway mileage Of nearly 80
per cent, more than II per cent of the
children are in school.
In the five bad roads States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, South Dakota and
Georgia, with an average improved high
way mileage of 1.5 per cent, less than 6O
cent of the children are attending school.
In the four bad roads States of Arkansas,
Missouri, Mississippi and North Carolina,
with total population OF nearly o,OOO,OOO,
there are about 375, 900 illiterate men and
women, native born white.
In the four good roads States Of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Rhode Island, with total population up
ward of 100000, there are but 10000 IL
literate men and women, native born, white.
"In other Words" says the writer, in Farm
and Preside, Education goes hand in
hand with the hard road-as roads improve,
illiteracy decreases" Many children, he
continues, have no schools to attend be-
cause ''the roads are so bad there is NO
profit in farming, no money for schools, nc
progress, no growth, no ambition
This is an argument that is worth think
| ing about in communities where bad roads
are retarding progress.

Referring to the march of the suffragettes
to Washington, the Nashville Christian
Advocate says: ut will require a thick
mantle to hide the foolish sentimentalism
of the marching sufiragettes from the gaze
of the world. The present hike may be
very pleasant to the mixers, but it is dead
ly to the cause ITSELF" Then let the mixers
hike to their hearts content, for anything
that is deadly to the misguided cause is a
blessing not only to the noble womanhood
of the world, but to all humanity.

The Man Who Made Money Out Of 1t.

The Man Who Made Money Out Of 1t.
Golfers Weekly
On Christmas night negro in Washing
ton, d. c., committed the most hideous
crime in the world under circumstances so
revolving that mere allusion to it is painful.
When the prisoner was arraigned the next
day, and the court made the formal de-
mand that he plead, he replied, according
to the account in the Washington Times:
81 just don't know to plead"
''Did you do this act or not?" inquired
Clerk Sebring, severely.
81 drunk so much liquor that night |
don't remember replied the prisoner,
covering before the gaze of the court and
those about him.
Our idea of effective journalism would
be for the Times to have its reporters in
vestigate just what brand of liquor this
negro drank, find out the manufacturer
and print his photograph and his name,
with the simple legend: "This is the man
who profited by the crime" The man, of
course, would turn out to be highly re-
spectacle citizen of Louisville or Baltimore
or some other of the great whisky manu-
| featuring centers; at the very moment
when the tragedy that he stimulated was
blighting family in Washington he was
sitting smugly and happily at the head OF
his Christmas table, surrounded by has
family whom he keeps secure from crime
with all the safeguards that money can
provide. In Louisville and Baltimore to be
manufacturer of whisky carries no odium
wealth clenses all.

Thibodaux Commercial Journal: Deeds

smart talk and Dragging count for nothing.
Actions always speak louder than words,

Jena Times: The citizens of ward five

he had family of five children and he just
couldn't provide for them. He harped a
great deal on the high cost of meat. He
talked more on the cost of meat than any,
thing else. We agreed with him on every
thing. We always do agree with bigger
men than we are. But we were certainly
astonished shortly afterwards when we
heard him ask the drayman if there was a
case of whisky at the depot for him. The
drayman said he thought not, whereupon
the man said: "That beats thunder!

He left US, and as he did so he took ter
