No Proclamation Needed

Former Attorney-G e nera |
William Sheppard Bryan, when
asked for his opinion, emphat-
ically declared that the Seven
teenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution providing for
the direct election of United
States Senators, does not have
to be proclaimed after its ratifi-
cation by the necessary number
of States in order to become
effective.
Mr.. Bry an thinks there is not
the slightest doubt that the
amendment is now in full force
and effect, and the proclamation
will add nothing to it. In Civ
ing his opinion he said
ARTICLE V of the Federal
Constitution provides that
whenever two-thirds of both
houses Of Congress shall deem
it necessary Congress shall pro-
pose an amendment to the Con-
stitution which shall be valid
to all intents and purposes when
ratified by the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the several
States.
Therefore an amendment of
the Constitution goes into effect
as soon as three-fourths of the
States ratify it.
1T is not necessary to wait
until it is proclaimed.
"Otherwise the failure of the
officials to proclaim an amend
ment, from either negligence
or design, would defeat or delay
the will of the people,"

rlarbury Still At 1t.

Mr.. Marbury still continues to
weep for progressiveness. He
still harps on his desire to have
the people select him for Sen
ator to help Mr. Wilson carry
out his policies. If Mr.. Marbury
would be honest with himself
and honest with the people he
would admit that Mr.. Wilson's
policies will have been carried
out by the time William l..
Marbury could possibly get his
nose into the United States Sen
ate. Senator Smith has declar-
ed that he will support the poll
cies of the President, and he is
in the Senate to demonstrate
that he is the kind of man who
does what he says he is going
to do. He never thought of
doing anything else. There is
one thing, however, which Mr..
Marbury is worrying about-his
own political record. Like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down
He sees it everywhere he turns
He says nothing about his OPP
position to Senator Rayner, to
William Pinckney White. to
Frank Brown and other Demo
Gratis. He lodges that part of
the indictment and falls back
upon the plea that he was fol-
lowing the late John X. Cowen
and his ilk. Cowen left the
Democratic party, and became

can. Did Mr.. Marbury have a
narrow squeek from following
in his footsteps:

TO SPREAD OIL
ON STATE ROADS
Every Foot viii Receive A Coat
The Cost Will Be
100000.

The State Roads Commission is pre-
pairing TO spread oil on every foot Of
highways improved by the commission.
The work will begin as soon as the
weather settles. II is proposed to have
it completed before the beginning of
the hot term. The cost will be in the
neighborhood Of 500. 900.
On roads which were oiled last year
the application will be one-third Of that
to be applied on roads recently built and
without former application. Not only
is the oil serviceable in laying dust, but
it is also a preservative.
AS far as is possible the State Roads
Commission will substitute bituminous
construction for macadam and other
methods thus far employed. The com
mission is convinced by experiments
elsewhere that this construction is the
most economical in the long run. 1t will
not require an annual application of oil.
Among the contracts awarded last year
were several for bituminous construc-
ton. On almost all the suburban roads
leading into Baltimore, which have not
yet been improved. bitumen will be
used.
1t is fact no longer open to contro-
versy that water bound macadam roads
of stone. gravel or oyster shells will
ravel. rut and deteriorate rapidly under
motor traffic. At the same time no
thoroughly demonstrated substitute at
a reasonable cost is at hand for maca-
dam. A large amount Of experimental
ton is going on throughout the United
States to develop not too expensive
road which will withstand the wear and
tear Of heavy traffic without excessive
reconstruction and maintenance charges.
Concrete roads are being tried out IN
several States. and very extensively in
Wayne County. Mich. in which the city
of Detroit is located Careful study
and investigation of this subject have
been made by Chairman Weller and
Chief Engineer Shirley, with the result
that in this State five roads Of this kind
are now being started, three short
stretches on the Washington Boulevard,
namely at Bladensburg. at Paint Branch,
and IN the village of Laurel, and five
miles in Charles County, from Rock
Point to Tompkinsville. and on the worst
Of the clay sections on the Old Post
road, from North East to Elkton. in
Cecil County.
The State has nearly 275 miles Of road
constructed. and has taken over 1870
miles of turnpikes, making i65 miles of
road in operation, and il is estimated
that this will be increased to 500 miles
with the money already appropriated.
The Roads Commission is anxiously
awaiting decision by the Court Of APP
peals to determine whether il can ex-
coed in its expenditures the sum allotted
TO each county under the mileage plan.
Ii the decision is adverse to the COM
mission work which has been projected
in several counties will have to be great
" curtailed or abandoned. II the deci-
sion is favorable the commission will
exceed the allotted expenditures in sew
eral counties. trusting to future appro-
priations to make good the DEFICIENCIES.
