Fighting The Hook Worm.

Work that transforms a life
which is almost useless into one
possessing efficiency and the ca
Spacity for happiness is close APP
proach to actual life-saving. That
is what the Rockefeller Sanitary
Commission for the Eradication of
Hookworm Disease is doing.
Its third annual report shows the
8far-reaching extent of it's activity. Ii
1910, the first year it was carried
on, $4,000 persons were treated; in
1911, 100000, and last year, 240,-
900. The per capita cost of treat
.ment has been reduced from $40
10 II cents.
Nothing is more significant of
the progress of medical science than
that the world slumbered for so
many centuries in ignorance of the
frightful and widespread effects of
this disease. If, as some of the
Rockefeller physicians say, it caused
the downfall of Greece. and Rome,
We may congratulate ourselves that
it is not likely to cause the downfall
of the United States.

all rubber-tired vehicles, and very
rough and uncomfortable for teams.
Garcon confesses that he is a very
ignorant layman in the matter of
road building, yet it does seem un-
reasonable that men to whom the
matter of road building in the coun-
ty is intrusted, should so use that
power as to obstruct the public
highways for an unnecessary length
of time.
Road Roller or "Steam Roller
Which?
Let us look at the matter from
the iayman's point of view. If oys-
ter shells, after they become pack
ed and smooth, make good road,
(and all are agreed that they do)
why pile them loose on a road bed
and leave them there for months
as distractions in the road, when
little rolling at the time they
are put on the road would trans
form them Immediately into a good
road bed? That the shells piled
loose on the road do often lie as
distractions in the roads for mon
tbs was shown by a stretch of road
ever (which we passed. l was told
that the shells which we saw were
put on the road last fall. 1t so hap
pened in that case that the road
bed there was wide enough that We
hicles can pass on one side of the
shells. And so, for all these mon
tbs those shells have laid there,
little rolling last fall would have
made that a good road for the peo-
pie of that community all winter,
when they most needed a good road.
In building the State Road, | no
tice that the stone is never put
down without being rolled,and roll
ed we'll. Is there any good reason
why oyster shells should be placed
on "a road bed and not be rolled?
If the State finds it to the advant-
age of good road building to use
the roller, why should the same
rule not hold good with the coun-
ty? Will our Honorable Commits
sioners please answer?
In case our Commissioners re-
fuse to use the road roller, the peo-
pie might very suitably bring out
and, at the proper time, use their
steam roller" Garcon.

MaPbury Turns West.

William L. Marbury will make his
initial appearance in Western Mary
land as a Senatorial candidate next
Saturday at Hancock, Washington
county. He will leave Baltimore Fri
day and spend the night at the
Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, go
ing over to Hancock the next after
noon.
This trip is in line with the plan
of campaign laid out by the pro-
gressive candidate for the long
term. 1t is recognized generally
now that the election for that term
will not be held until the fall of
1914, and Mr.. Marbury aims to use
the intervening time in going out
into the counties and meeting the
bers as possible. There will be lit
tie speechmaking on these trips, but
general discussion of the issues be-
tween Wilson Democracy and the
money power in politics.
At Hancock Mr.. Marbury will be
met by a number of the progressive
Democrats of Washington county
and taken through the town to
meet the residents and voters at
their places of business and congre-
CATION. Afterward he will return to
the Woodmont Club.
Washington county has been in
creasing steadily in progressive SEN
timent for several years. For a
long time it was regarded as one OF
the counties which could be counted
upon absolutely by the machine, land
its leader, Col. Buchanani Schley, was
always in the inner circle of the
State managers. In the Gorman-Lee
fight, however, Col. Schley relaxed
his interest, and Lee made an as
topishingly strong showing. Since
that time, according to political OBJ
servers, there has been a steady
growth in tie progressive Demo
cratic sentiment, and an equally
steady diminution in the power of
the organization forces.
Mr.. Marbury plans to enter the
county from tine to time and force
the fighting there. Blair Lee, the
progressive candidate for the short
term, iG is conceded generally, will
carry the county in the primaries.
Mr. Marbury's friends hold that to
be evidence of what can be done
there and purpose to bring the is
sues of the fight for the long term
progressive Democracy as against
money politics-home to the Demo-
Gratis with all possible. energy.
About the same time that Mr..
Marbury is in Hancock and the
nearby section, Isaac Lobe Straus
will be in Frederick and other
towns in Frederick county. He will
go up from Baltimore Thursday af-
ternoon and spend that evening in
personal contact with the people of
the town Friday morning he will
so out into the county, returning
for the night to Frederick, where
he will make an address in the ev-
euing at the commencement of the

Or. Fell Returns From Wisconsin

A movement for the amalgama-

Ieges Of the State may result from
the visit of DR.. Thos. Fell, provost of
the University of Maryland, Balti-
more,to the University of Wisconsin.
DIFF made the trip with a Penn
sylvania delegation, headed by Mayor
Blankenbu burg, of Philadelphia. He
returned Monday night, primed with
ideas of school Improvement, which
he will incorporate in report to
Gov. Goldsborough.

these new ideas in the minds of the
people of the State" said DR.. Fell,

bound to come We have witnessed
the enthusiastic interest of the
people of Wisconsin in their univer-
sity and the results of the univer-
sity work on the people. Education

fore any plan of action can be la
ken. but it is sure to come
AS outlined by DR.. Fell,the idea,
as embraced at the University of
Wisconsin, would mean the combi-
nation of the more important spe-
cializing schools of the State under
one management and under the jul
risdiction of the State. An annual
endowment would be made by the
State and the people of the State
would be benefited. 1t is not the
plan to include Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in any of the suggested i'm
provements, as it is realized that
this university is in a plane by
itself But such schools as the Uni
versitv of Maryland, Maryland Agri-
cultural College, and the Baltimore
School of Technology, it is thought,
could be combined for the good of
the State. Such an institution would
be known as a State university and
would cater especially to the educa-
tional features and requirements of
the State.

Public Highway q Standard Of
Civilization.

II you want to get the gauge OF
any country's civilization, take an
inventory of that country's public
highways. There is nothing else
that registers so accurately the civ
il advancement of people as their
public roads. Only the civilized
man needs roads, and only as he
advances in civilization does he
need and demand better roads. 1t
is savage to oppose good road build
ing
There is another thing that we
have learned by experience, land that
IS, that good roads are cheap at any
cost, except that of graft. Strange,
too, that we have been so long
learning the lesson, and stranger
still, that there are many who have
not yet learned the lesson. But
strangest of all is that the farmer,
who profits most of all by good
roads. has most opposed good road
building. The idea of paying few
dollars additional tax each year
for road building nearly scares him
out of his boots He overlooks the
fact that in the wear and tear and
breakage of teams andwagons, and
in the loss of time over bad roads,
he pays many dollars more for the
use of bad roads,

This fact was forced upon Garcon's
attention during recent automobile
trip down the county.
To begin with, our party had to
drive thirty-two miles to reach
point seventeen miles from Cam
bridge. The reason for our de-
tour was that the County Commits

1 Village Barber Who Was a

In the May American Magazine
are published several letters which
have won prizes in contest en-
titled "The Wittiest Man 1 Ever
Knew" Following is one of the
letters:
HE is a peg-legged negro, intel
ligent, honest and funny. He is
known to all the community as
Peggy and Booker He has no
boed' across the continent and is
row living in remote town in
Arizona. He has worked in almost
every large city in the United States
and, being observant and alert, he
has picked up good deal of know
ledge. He relates that when he
was working around hotels and com
ing In contact with educated peo-
pie, any new word he would hear,
he would write it down in note
book and look it up in the dictio-
nary at the first opportunity.
He drifted into Springerville, Ari-
coma, driving two burros. He has
become the official wood chopper,
barber. janitor and secretary OF the
Socialist Local in the little desert
town. His greatest weaknesses are
periodic attacks of rheumatism and
a tendency to imbibe too freely at
times of safe cure for snake bite
as he calls it. He says he is trying
to run the rheumatism down in his
peg leg and throw the peg away.
He remarked while cutting a bald
headed mans hair one day,that the
man must have had water on the
brain, and his hair fell in and got
drowned, and that he would have
to charge him extra as he had to
use a microscope to find any hair
to cut. He told about cutting a
mans hair with pair of old clip
pers, and the man shouted to him
as he was going away that if he had
a mule like those clippers he would
not sell him for any price.
"Booker was walking home one
day with four boxes of crackers un-
der his arm An inquisitive person
stopped him and asked him what
was he going to do with all the
crackers. He replied that he liked

the capitalist got the profits and he
