The Ballot An Efficient Weapon For
Women To Weld.

Mr. Editor;-I have read in your last
issue the interesting paper on Efficiency,
by a member of the Rockville Inquiry Club
The writer's suggestions as to practical
work for civic improvements which the
womens clubs might accomplish in Rock
vile especially interested me. This thought
occurs to me- Could not the women OF
Rockville accomplish the work they have
at heart, the cleaning and identifying OF
the town, more efficiently if they had n
direct voice in selecting the men whose
duty it is to care for streets, parks and
school groundsP
Perhaps the ladies' plan to raise money
and hire persons to do this work. Is there
not a lack of economy in this method of
putting through public improvements. The
same sum could be raised by the ordinary
method of public taxation so much more
easily and the burden would be distributed
so much more justly. Moreover, the town
probably already has some equipment for
doing this sort of work and officers are
already being paid for looking after such
matters. The really efficient way for get
ting this work done, that is the way that
would produce greatest results for the least
effort, would be to do it through the exist
ing municipal organization.
Possibly in Rockville il il only necessary

Southern Negro Labor.

Judson C. Welliver, in Farm and Preside
Once upon time there was great pro-
duction of rice in the swamp sections OF
the South Atlantic coast. 1t was profitable
and seemed likely to 60 on forever and ever.
Then the Gulf rice fields began to de-
velop; and presently they were turning
out so much that rice didn't pay to raise.
The Atlantic coast growers laid off. They'd
wait until prices promised some profit.
Now see what happened to them:
Their rice laborers were negroes who
through many generations in Africa and
our own swamp sections had become i'm
mune as regards malaria. They didn't get
it. They were the only people capable of
raising rice in that coast region.
When rice culture was suspended these
immune labOrers scattered. Then the price
went back. and when it was time to re-
sumo the business they couldn't be brought
back.
They have never come back.
Neither has the rice crop of the South
Atlantic coast. And it never will it never
can.
Now for the cotton moral:
Cotton is king; and the army of servitors
who uphold his power is made up of negro
laborers
Let that army be dispersed from the
cotton fields, and it will never be brought
back.
Nothing is so certain as that the negro
plantation laborer, out of work and in
stantIy out of money. will drift to the town
and city
Once there he almost never gets back to
the soil.
The Atlantic rice growers let him 90. and
they lost their industry with him. People
who are advising the South to cut its cot
ton acreage half or more for next year will
do well to consider what it will do to their
labor
Unless they find something else with
which to keep the labor busy and on the
land they will lose it; and a repetition,
with cotton. of the disaster that rice suf-
fered would be a calamity.

Cattle Disease Is Well In Hand.
From the Baltimore American.

| from the Baltimore American.
Although all danger has not yet passed
and while the authorities have not relaxed
their vigilance one whit, it is said the hoof-
and-mouth disease in Maryland is now
well in hand and practically wiped out
Members of the local State Live Stock SAM
tary Board were highly encouraged oveI
the outlook yesterday and, although new
case of the scourge was reported from
Cordover, Talbot county, their spirits were
not lowered. 1t is to be expected. they
say, that such widely scattered cases may
continue to break out for some time, but
the State and Government authorities be-
lieve that the disease in this State is now
under control.
The board yesterday issued permit to
the local stockyards to remain open from
7 A. M. to P. M. for the receipt of cattle
from other States for immediate slaughter.
These hours were set so that State inspec-
tors could be on hand to examine all cattle
sent from other States to the local stock
yards. There is also the provision in the
permit that all such cattle shall arrive in
Maryland in sealed cars and from non
infected and nonquarantined area.
The ruling does not permit the shipment
of cattle from other parts of Maryland to
the local stockyards, but only from other
States. While the authorities are practi-
cally certain that the disease is entirely
under control, they are not going to take
chances of new outbreak in the local
yards. Butchers who handle Maryland
meat exclusively are getting around this
prohibition by sending their slauehtering
forces to the countless killing the cattle
there and then bringing the bodies. shorn
of the hoofs and hides, to Baltimore for
sale. Immediately after the report reached
the local Office of the board yesterday that
a herd near Cordova. Talbot county. had
been found affected with the disease ar
rangements were made for slaughtering the
animals Immediately. Talbot county is
already under quarantine.
