Tor the House of Delegates and would
like, through your columns, to announce
to the voters of Prince Georges
County my position ON the several
Questions which will De be ore them at
that time.
The most insiStent question which
will be asked Ill the coming campaign
will be the stand of the candidate on

~ in the Democratic Principe OF direct
government, as far DIS possible, by the
people, | am therefore in favor of the
passaac Of bill at the next legislature
that Will submit the sale of liquor to
the people, and now pledge myself, if
elected to do my utm It to have bill
passed that will allow all of the voters
Prince Georges County to say at
the polls whether or not liqnor shall be
sold within the County. The passage
of this bih will not only allowtthe people
to leglsiate directly upon the sub ject,
but will also allow them TO clear their
vision of this questi when consider

have for too long been partisans upon
this question al NE and thereby proven

qualifications Of the candidates.
Being SO thoroughly in accord with
the policies advocated by President

times being towards a more direct con-

Cribs for Baby Travellers.

Among the Injuries. comforts and
conveniences nowadays provided by
the great hotel are cribs for the baby
guests. Even in the finest hotels
these are a comparatively recent ad'
,dition to the house equipment. UP to
about five years ago, when a separate
bed was required for baby's use, a
cot was put into the room, and many
persons travelling for the first time
with a baby still ask for cot. They
are agreeably surprised when inform
ed that a crib can be supplied If de-
sired. In big hotel there may now
be kept ready for use a dozen cribs
in the care of the housekeeper; cribs
simple but of the latest style Of con.
struction, ready to be sent whenever
they are wanted.

Jackson Has Road Bill.

Senator William P. Jackson, Of
Maryland, has introduced bill in the
, Senate making an appropriation q
$40. OOO. 900 annual from the Fedora
treasury for good roads.
In taking this step. the Marylandel
allies himself strongly with the division
of the House and Senate that is lead
ing the general fight for Government
improvement of highways to the same
extent that the Government is now i'm.
proving rivers and harbors.
In his measure however, the Mary
lander proposes that the local commun'
ity shall pay half the cost of the roao
building, whereas at present the Gov,
eminent pays all the cost of any water
ways project that it may appropriate
for.
Senator Jackson's good roads plan il
perhaps the most advanced that has
yet been offered in the House or Sen.
ate. He makes it constitutional by
providing that the road to be built OF
improved shall be post road. He in
sists that the State assume half of the
burden of cost.
The Government is not to pay any
of it's share of the cost until the road
shall have been constructed and ap-
proved by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The specifications are to be available
to all. ami if they are lived up to, then
the Government will pay one-half of
the price.
Senator Jackson issued a statement
in which he explained the plan he pro-
poses and his reasons for offering it.
The two weeks short course in hor-
ticulture commenced at the Maryland
Agricultural College Wednesday with
large attendance of people from all
parts of this state, as we'll as from
seAeral adjoining states. The first
lecture was by Professor C. P. Close,
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, on Apple Soils and Apple
Varieties for Maryland. Professor
Close was followed by Orlando Harri-
son, of Berlin, Md; on The Propagation
of Fruit Trees and General Nursery
Practice. In the afternoon E. P. Cohil,
of Hancock, gave lecture on Orchard
Management. Mr.. Cohill's lecture
was followed by one by Professor Nor
ton on Plant Hygiene and Disease Pre-
vention.

are listed: leather casque, a cows

Cat Crisis,

The cats of London are faced with
a crisis unparalleled in feline history.
There is a famine in cats meat A
dead horse is as rare nowadays as a
dead donkey. Horses are getting
scarce because of motor cars, and
when one does get too old to work
1t is sent to a home. They do not
get killed in London street accidents
with anything like the former fire.
quency When a smash occurs it is
generally a motor omnibus that suf-
fers, and not even the hungriest cat
can make a decent meal of torn tires
and broken spark plugs.

EXAMPLE IN ENTERPRISE.

The Louisville CONVERSATIONAL calls
attention TO device which may well
he adopted by the merchants who
fear the effect OF the parcels post,
which is to go into effect within few
weeks:
Away down in Carlisle county, in
the extreme western part Of tho
State, hardware firm in the good
village of Bardwell, takes space in
the local paper to announce that it
has issued a catalogue. The public
is also Informed that the firm is
making prices lower than the mail
order houses in the big cities and Is
preparing TO supply its customers BY
parcels post with anything in its
line that is mailable.
This is an example Of enterprise
that is worthy OF emulation by coun'
try merchants. The big mail order
houses will not take any great
amount OF business away from a
firm which manirests so much inter.
est in the extension OF its trade. One
reason why many Of the rural stores
gre suffering from mail order com.
petition is because their proprietors
are too hopelessly behind the times to
recognize the advantage Of using up
to-date methods in holding onto their
old customers and in getting new ones.
The wide-awake merchant is the
man who lets the community know
what he has 10 sell, who uses newspa-
per space judclously and consistent
~, and who devotes Thought to ways
and means OF building up his business
that he may not be outclassed by COM
petitors at home or disturbed by CON-
petitors abroad. This applies TO the
country dealer as well as to the city
merchant, for the man who does not
make some intelligent effort 10 keep
his business going forward will IN
evittabiy find ii going backward.

1t now looks as II we are TO nave
very little legislation at the coming
session OF the legislature. The prob.
ability of deadlock din the Senate
aud the Overwhelming interest in the
senatorial fight will Jbe Tmuch in the
way of the work OF the session. Both
parties in their platforms are on rec

ed reform legislation and these pledges
should be redeemed. The Republican
party being in the majority will SUI
fer most II these pledges are not full
filled. Ordinarily we have too much
Legislation for the good OF the State
but at this time there are matters OF a
progressive nature that need atten'
ton If the State is TO keep up with the
advanced spirit Of the times. II would
seem TO be incumbent upon our Gov.

the important bills on which public
sentiment Is in almost unanimous &C.

.T4E PARCEL POST

The question now conironts us. TO
what use can the parcel post be put?
There has been good deal of opti'
mistic talk about It's reducing the cost
of living. The possibility of having a
dozen eggs delivered TO sou by it d.
rectly from the farmer has been a foy-
sorite subject for pleasing discussion.
Undoubtedly eggs can be bought and
transported in this way. Whether they
will or not is another question.
The best way Of judging the value
OF the service, perhaps, is to note how
1T is used elsewhere. In Germany and
England this use is very common,

The coming to Fairmont Of the New

out doubt, the most important musi-
| cal event in the history OF the city
land doubtless marks the beginning OF
q new epoch in its musical life. Fair
mGnt has long boosted Of her commer-
cial standing but has been content to
let her citizens go to Morgantown and
Pittsburgh to hear the best music.
But that is no longer necessary. Meth.
@" of the above cities will offer better
attractions than may be heard here
this winter, and it is a cause for no
little satisfaction that the New York
symphony Orchestra goes from Fair
mont direct to Pittsburgh and that the
Chicago Grand Opera Company comes
J from Pittsburgh direct to Fairmont,--
rather significant fact. 1t may also
be said, in passing, that fine musical
attractions have direct bearing on
the commercial life Of city for peo-
ple of culture desire to live where
they may be associated with fine
things at small cost. 1t would seem.
then, that those public spirited citi.
zens, who by their guarantee. have
made these things possible, should
have the undivided support OF all per-
sons in any way interested in Great
