The Position OF Our Delegates On
Price Road Bill.


Annapolis, Md, March "a. 1914.
Mr.. Editor: We would like to MAKE
known to the people of our county the
reasons for voting against the Price bill.
Yours very truly,
A. j. CUMMINGS.
We are opposed to the Price bill because
the State Roads Commission has furnished
no data to show
O That the amounts named for the
various counties are equitably adjusted
according to the incompleted roads which
have been mapped out as part of the State
Road System.
(2) That no road data has been fur
nished to show what gaps in the system
the Commission regards as primary and
what it regards as secondary gaps.
60 That no statement has been fur
nished to the Legislature showing what
primary gaps the Commission proposes to
complete with the money carried by the
Price bill.
(4) The map recently published by the
Commission shows in red lines the roads
completed and in blue lines the roads Sc
lected for Improvement as State roads but
which remain incomplete, from which it
appears that the amounts carried in the
Price bill are more than sufficient to COM
plete the entire system in some counties
and far from enough to complete the sys-
TEN in other counties. such as Mont
gomery.
(5) That this delegation has made every
effort to secure from the State Roads Com
mission the information which would en-
able us to pass intelligently upon this great
public question. This information has been
denied us by the Chairman of the Commits
sion under the pretext that such informa-
ton would be confusing to the Legislature.
We hold that if the Legislature has suffi-
cient intelligence to appropriate the peo-
pies money it should be credited with
enough intelligence to understand the Com
missions figures. and be given an oppor-
tunity to sustain them If they are right,
and reject them if wrong. We think that
an appropriation of $2.5OO.OOO. with the
unexpended balance now in the hands of
the Commission will be sufficient to carry
forward the work in the various counties
on road-mileage basis as in the past,
will meet the present needs and prevent a
raise in the State tax rate. which latter we
are sure our people do not want. We
therefore hope that an opportunity will be
afforded us to vote for such proposition.
In the meantime. we propose to vote for
any such proposition as may be presented in
opposition to the Price bill which may
tend to defeat that measure. and, there
fore. at this time support the Wilkinson
bill

Mr.. Editor In a recent article you quote
Mrs I. l.. A. Greve as showing by census
figures and other records that woman suf-
frage is failure in those States where il
has been tried. Mrs. Greve's argument
seems to be that if women in few years
have not made the places where they vote
the most perfectly governed. orderly and
moral in the world they are practically in
competent. Without commenting on this
reasoning, some of her statements bear in
vestigatiOn
She hOrrifies us by saying that in an
election in Denver $4,000 was paid to
women for their influence. The authority
for this is one Richard Barry, who wrote
an article on suffrage in Colorado for the
Ladies Homes Journal in 1910. That every
statement of that famous article has been
shown over and over again by competent
witnesses to be pure fabrication, does not
seem to discourage our anti-suffrage friends
from quoting it. But on this subject the
word of Judge Linsey, who certainly knows
about election frauds in Colorado, is in
point. He says. Ninety nine per cent of
our election frauds have been committed
by men, without any assistance. direct or
indirect. from women.
Mrs. Greve gives statistics to show that
the proportion Of liquor dealers to the
population is greater in the States of Wy
oming. California and Colorado. where
women now vote. than in Arkansas, Vir-
ginia and Kentucky where they do not
vote. She draws the conclusion that sa-
looms fare well in those places, presumably
aided by the votes of women.
cannot deny Mrs Greve's figures be-
cause ! do not know where she gets them.
dot not find them in the reports of the
cen sus of 1910, for the volume on "Occupa-
iions" which should give the number of
liquor dealers is not yet published. From
the census reports Of 1900 can be obtained
figures that confirm those of Mrs. Greve.
but they prove too much. They show that
this high proportion Of saloons is equally
true in Montana and Nevada. where wom-
en- have never voted. as also in Arizona
and California, cited by Mrs. Greve, where
they did not vote until long after either the
census of 1900 or 1910.
These figures simply show. il they show
anything. characteristic Of pioneer popu-
lations in mining regions. To prove that
woman suffrage had anything to do with
the condition one should give figures for
one place before and after women voted
This Mrs. Greve does not try to do for
very good reason. These figures would
prove just what she is trying to conceal,
that the liquor influence is diminishing not
increasing in the suffrage States. In Idaho,
for instance, where women have voted a
good while, they have. under local option
law, almost State wide prohibition. far bet e
ter enforced than in any sO-called prOhi-
bition States. and in all suffrage States the
dry" areas are increasing at every cleo
! ton.
But does anyone in Montgomery county
really believe that women. II they could
vote, would help the saloons

For INDECENT Sick $4,000.


Mr.. Editor After considerable effort
made in the joint meeting Of the Ways
and Means and Finance Committees Of the
Legislature. have finally gotten into the
Appropriation Bill the sum Of five thousand
dollars $4,000 for the year Of 1915 and
the same for 1916, to be used for the care
Of our INDECENT sick in Montgomery county.
This amendment TO the bill provides that
the County Commissioners Of Montgomery
county be directed to enter into contracts
with the hospitals Of Washington for the
care Of our sick at cost not to exceed
$l25 per day. The County Commissioners
are further directed to appoint physician
in each Of the legislative districts, whose
certificate will be honored at said hospitals
consider this much more economical
way Of taking care Of our sick than il
would be to have built a hospital. VIZ
have. therefore. abandoned the bill calling
for $4,000 for a new hospital.
Yours truly,
ANDREW J. CUMMINGS.

Our Public School system.

We hear and read great deal thes
days as to what is the trouble with ou
public school system. Some say it is sicl
but fail to prescribe a remedy to cure tn
i'll Others advocate an educational sur
vey" to diagnose the trouble, while other,
advance lot Of theories for the better
ment of our public school system which
are found highly impracticabIe when tested
Now, why don't we view the school ques
ton in a commonsense way. and be frank
to admit that the one great and only trou-
BILE in our public school system is that SO
much .foolishness is taught in the public
schools today that it is almost impossible
for graduates to solve an ordinary prob
lem in arithmetic or write an intelligent
letter after they receive their diplomas at
our High Schools. The students minds are
so confused by mere smattering of con-
glomeration of studies that must be COM
pleted in order to round out High School
course that many of the students and nearly
all Of the teachers are nervous wrecks, and
scarcely student has laid the foundation
upon which to erect the superstructure of a
good. sound, commonsense, business edu-
cation We have been a student and we
have been teacher, and when we sit
quietly and compare the days of the three
RS, reading, writing and arithmetic, with
the foolishness which comprises much
Of our school curriculum today, we cannot
help exclaiming, "Oh for return to the
days of teaching reading. writing and
arithmetic" We are perfectly free to ad-
init that in many instances the school sys-
TEN is sick. 1t has suffered so long with
'pOliticitis" that il has become chronic, and
the disease will never be remedied until
the influence of the large text book pub
fishing firms is curtailed to great degree.
In our judgment the textbook publishing
house is more largely responsible for the
"faddy" condition of our school system than
any other influence, and the sooner the
State Board Of Education realizes this fact
the better and more effective will our school
system be. Let us get back to the meth
DDS of I'VE district school," Let us read
just our present curriculum so as to pro-
vide sensible education for our boys and
girls rather than to make nervous wrecks
of both pupils and teachers in their efforts
to acquire smattering of a multiplicity
of studies and to accomplish so much I'M
der compulsion in given period of time.
Let us apply the system of commonsense
to our school system, and demand increased
efficiency in our teaching force. and in our
judgment the school question will be greatly
simplifled. Chestertown (Md.) Transcript.

EASY TO LOAD A BIG HOG
With a eottomless Crate No Lifting
or Chute 10 Needed and the
Matter 10 Simple

The farmer who has never used a
bottomless hog crate has treat COM
ing to him. The man who under
takes to load a 30O-pound hog with
out help and with no regular loading
chute has a big proposition on his
hands. He can do enough lifting,
tugging and pulling to insure a good
view of the whole solar system. The
crate without o bottom does away
with all this,
The plan is simple. The crate
should be made of strong, light Stats
and large enough to cover full
grown hog. Sides, ends and top
should be Slated. There is no end
gate, no sliding boards-nothing but
a plain, light crate with no bottom.
Put down a few boards, about ten
feet long, for a 'bridge" from the
rear end of the wagon bed to the
ground.
Now we are ready to load the hog.
Stand the crate on end and throw
little feed down close to the crate.
Do not try to rush things, but allow
the hog to get accustomed to the
crate. AS soon as the hog is in good
position drop the crate over him
quickly and carefully to prevent him
from running out backward, All
there is to do now is simply "walk"
the hog up the bridge and into the
wagon.-Farm and Fireside.
