Roads Commissioner After the
ThreShermep.

Exasperated because of the attempts
to secure by the ordinary channels, cor
rection Of the troubles which it has ex-
perienced in this county because of the
use OF the improved roads by traction
engines, with cleats, the Maryland Good
Roads Commission, IN court here on
Tuesday morning, through Stoner and
Weinberg. attorneys OF Frederick. filed
bill asking for an injunction restraining
II owners of traction engines in Fred
erick county, from operating such en-
gines over the improved highways of the
State. Judge Hammond Urner did not
grant the Injunction as asked, but set
Sc MEMBER 10th, as the date on or
before which the traction engine owners
must answer. and he then set September
I2th as the date for full hearing in the
case. Judge Urner expressed the belief
that the roads could not be damaged SO
greatly, until September I2th. and for
this reason stated that he did not care to
issue an Injunction or refuae one, until
after a full hearing.
The persons whom the Good Ronds
Commission allege are using the i'm
proved roads for operating engines, and
which engines contain cleats, are as
follows: Fl. c. CLAYTON, New Market;
Bowman Cashour, New London; George
Kefauver, near Burkittsville; John Ho-
rine, Knoxville; Hamilton Shafer, Bur-
kittsvile; 0. + Davis, Arthur Peddicord
and Samuel Molesworih, Mount Airy;
H. Ropp, Braddock; ]. Harry Grove,
near Frederick; Granville Wachter,
Frederick, and Z. ]. Utterback, Lewis
town.
The Good Roads Commission alleges
that the improved roads OF this county
and State were built at a cost of about
So, 600 per mile, and that it costs about
$500 per mile per year 10 oil them. and
that the traction engines break this oil
binder, and permits the road to rapidly
disintegrate and that by reason of this
the State is put to the expense of
spending large sums OF money for re-
pairs.
The Road Commission further recites
that by law of the Legislature, it is au-
thorized to make rules and regulations
for the nseof the roads by traction en-
gines, and that such rules have been
made and published. prohibiting traction
engines with cleats, from using the roads.
A violation Of these rules constitutes
mlSdemeanOf,
1t also recites that it has had num-
ber of arrests made and that grand
jury in Frederick county failed to find
any bill against traction engine owners
who damaged the roads. There are now
10 or IL traction engine owners in Fred
erick county under bail for the Septem-
Der Grand Jury here.
1t is alleged that thousands of dollars
of iniuy has been done IN Frederick
coul ty to the improved roads belonging
to the State, and if the practice coa-
tinues the roads will be ruined. The
Good Roads Commission has also been
having similar trouble in Washington
county, and the Road Commission, will.
probably resort to Injunction proceed

MeSSrS. Editors:
There have been reports th5r the FIX
position, because OF the present war in
Europe, would be postponed 1t will not
be postponed.
There have been published statements
that the war in EuEope would seriously
affect the commeseial or educational inn
portance or the financial success of the
Ex position. 'Ehev will not be SO affected
The Exposition will open on the sched
uled date--February 2osh, 1915. 1t will
be completely ready when open. II is
! more than ninety pee cent. completed to-
day, Nothing will be permitted TO inter
fere with the consammation of the plans
originally laid down.
Many friends, and parties in interest
have presented arguments In support of
postponemens' for year These have
been given anxious study and careful
analysts. Most of them are merely coun-
sells of tiiDidity, based on nothing save
general feeling of doubt and uncertainty:
These, are sufficiently answered by say
ing that there is no longer anv doubt or
uncertainty as to the success of the Ex-
position whatever the situation in Europe
may be. Other arguments for postpone
ment have some practical foundation, but
for everyone OF these there is a stronger
and better argument for proceeding with
our plans.
The Exposition WILL therefore, open as
scheduled. There is not the slightest
reason TO believe that its success, in any
phase, will be any less than that which
was SO certain three weeks ago. Not
ore of the nations at war has notified us
of an intention to withdraw her partic-
fpations. France and Italy have in fact
notified us that their plans remain un-
changed, but even if we should lose the
others, the interest and importance of
the Exposition, would still, as a whole,
surpass all precedent
As TO the domestic participation, the
effect OF the European war seems more
likely TO be advantageous than other
wise. The stimulus on exhibits is al
ready felt as the American manufact
urers become impressed with the oppor
tunity given by the Exposition for bring
ing their goods 10 the attention Of the
large distributors of Central and South
America, the Orient and Canada.
AS to the attendance, all expert opin-
ions agree that there is, nothing in the sit
nation, even if confirmed through 1915.
that will affect seriously the willingness
or ability of the people of the western
hemisphere and of the far east to visit the
Exposition.
Some opinion is ism that travel to CAL
iforna may even be increased by the
war. The decision of the Exposition.
management, has, however, been reached
without regard TO that consideration. We
consider it our duty alike to our nation,
TO the participating nations. to our exhib-
TORS and TO ourselves to carry out the
plans as originally laid down and which,
now nearly at fruition, promise the most
important, the most beautiful and the
most successful Exposition in history.

A representative crowd of Democrats
assembled to the cal! of the Chairman
of the County CeBtral Committee, last
Monday, August 3lst, on the banks of
the Monocacy, at Worthington' Spring,
and reveled in oratory and good things
to refresh the inner man. Much was
done towards promoting that unity of
purpose and harmony that is SO neces-
sary for victory this fall and next. 1t
is the duty of every Democrat who has
the interest Of his party at heart, to frown
down the petty differences which have
arisen in some quarters, and which. if
not checked, may result in too much
encouragement to the enemy. Now is
the time to get after this insiduous and
much to be regretted chronic ailment of
the party. United We can win, divided
we will lose a valuible opportunity to
help in the election of United States
Senator and Congressman who can up
hold the policies Of the present admin
istration. And next fall we must elect
or Democratic county ticket and there
must be harmony all along the line. SO
make harmony the watchword and evil
to him who casts the first stone.

II COUNTY Ticket

The Democrats of Henderson county
are expected to make a long pull. d
strong pull and a pull all together for
the splendid men they have placed
upon their ticket for representative
and the various county Offices. There
is not a man on the ticket who is IN
worthy of the. Wholehearted support Of
every loyal Democrat and all other
voters DESTROYS of seeing the affairs Of
the county more economically admins
tered. With no internal dissensions
to- plague them, the Democrats Of old
Henderson may this year give battle
to the opposition like true soldiers o.
a worthy cause. The prospects for
success appear to be fine and growing
more encouraging as the campaign
progresses.
Mr.. j. Foy Justice, the capable young
man who heads the ticket, would serve
the people in the Legislature with abil-
ity and fidelity. There is not a more
deserving young man in the county
today than Foy Justice, and the people
would cover themselves with glory by
sending him as their representative to
Raleigh next winter. He is a SOL of
Rev. A. I. Justice. a prominent Baptist
divine, and his sterling worth is at
tested by the success he has achieved
ir preparing himself for efficient pub
lie service. MIR. Justice has worked
bis way through school and stands to-.
Gay as an example of the self made
nan, which any young mar may well
afford to emulate. Honest. energetic.
aud fully capable of genuine service
end. withal. a Henderson county pro-
duct, Mr.. Justice would be an6honor
to the Office and a credit to his con-
stituency.
Mr.. Otis Powers, the nominee for
sheriff, has shown himself worthy OF
the Office by years of service in an
executive capacity. Brave, fearless
and energetic he would bring to the
Office a dignity hitherto unknown. The
record he has made as constable OF
Hendersonville township shows his
capabilities and establishes beyond
