We Have a President.

We like 10 feel that Woodrow Wilson
expresses in his own personality the
good genius Of this country
The President service to the nation
within the past few months has been
sufficient to make AN entire four year
term notable
War with Mexico has been averted
through patient statecraft that persist
ed despite criticism. abuse and lack Of
faith.
a strike of trainmen on ninety eight
Western railroads has been prevented
10y the agreement Of the contending
parties to arbitrate. This strike would
have been catastrophe at any time, in
view of other complications. it would
have been immcasureably worse AT this
time Credit must be given to the men
and the managers for agreeing to get
together, but this was not brought
about until the President had entered
the negotiations.
The placing of American business
conditions upon a basis where the Euro
pean disorders can affect them little if
at all WAS at the instance Of and with
the cooperation of the administration,
which is also to be credited with farther
ing currency law that will prove most
effective
In the last three or four months it
would have been distressingly easy for
a Presidential blunderer to embroiI or
embarrass the United States. We have
come through with credit and clean Of
unworthy compromises or entaging
alliances.

Doing Work Quickly

Inspection Of the work that has
been done shows that the Roads Com
mission mas been pushing its work
with great energy and that at the
same rate Of progress another year will
see finished all the work that can be done
with the available money. This will
mean that the main arteries. with the
exception of some new bridges. will be
completed from one end OF the State to
the other.
The Eastern Shore, when the gaps
mentioned have been filled in, will have
as fine system of main roads as can
be found anywhere Most of the roads
put down in this section OF the State have
been of concrete. and that they are fine
roads To travel over as we'll as attractive
10 look at goes without saying, The
Eastern Shore being level, appears 10
be the sort Of county in which con
crete road looks the best. And then.
too. the straight, long stretches Of con
crete built right through sections that
are nothing but the meanest sort OF
sand offer the strongest possible con
trast between the worst and the best
roads in Maryland

former home of Thomas Jefferson. from
Representative Levy of New York.
He has not. however, committed him
self TO the suggestion of Mr.. Levy that
Monticello be used as a summer home
for Presidents.
In Washington circles the hope was
expressed that Congress would act
promptly on the letter of Representa-
tive Levy to SECRETARY Bryan, in which
he said he would consider an offer of
$500, 900 from the United States Gov
ernment for the estate Mr. Bryan. il
was said. would refer the communica-
tion to Congress at once.
Mr.. Levy in his letter stated he al
ways had abhorred the idea Of Monti-
cello becoming a mere museum. and
if he is TO part with it would like il to
be retained as the Virginia home OF the
Presidents of the United States for their
occasional occupancy.
Mr.. Levy also said he had added to
the 2ls acres he had paurchased until
the original acreage of more than 700 had
been restored He added he had spent
81 900, 900 on the estate.
