THE ROADSIDE TREE LAW
A New Act and It's Value to the
State of MARYLAND.

With the advent OF summer and the
season when So much attention is given
10 out door life, news regarding we'll
framed road side tree law passed at the
last session of the State Legislature is
received with interest by Maryland citi
zens.
ne contrast between road lined on
either side with a row of handsome
trees, and one unprotected from the cold
winds and the glare and the heat of a
hot summers sun. is at once apparent to
any one There is a contrast. too. be
tween the street or country highway
with its well cared for, ornamental trees,
and the road whose trees are covered
with numerous signs and advertisements
which are not, TO say the least, orna-
mental in any way.
All OF these things have received at
tention in a law which is sure 10 con-
tribute much to the appearance of the
Stale, identifying the landscape and
making the Maryland roads and streets
comfortable and more attractive TO the
passer by For this law gives the State
Board of Forestry the power not only TO
care tor and improve trees already plant
ed along any highway, but provides for
their proper planting in desirable places.
Ii is forbidden under this law. and a
penalty is also provided, to trim, cut
down, or in any way to mutilate road
side trees without the approval and per
mission OF the State Forestry Officers.
And further. the placing of any advertis
ing matter on fences. stones, trees or
buildings IN or upon the public highways
is now prohibited and fine is now
provided for the enforcement Of tbs pro-
vision.
The direct benefits to be derived from
such law are only TOO apparent. and
the State Board Of Forestry proposes in
the immediate future to show to the
people OF this State how they may them
selves assist in carrying out this new law
and aid in improving the appearance oi
their own particular district.

Tax Collections Run Ahead Of
1913

City taxes-payabe by law before the
last of August-have been rolling into
the city Golfers like water. Approx
mately fifty nine thousand dollars have
been paid over to City Register Bradley
T. Nicodemus up to date.
This establishes a record for tax col
lecting, for now the receipts are about
four thousand dollars more than they
were on September I, 1913. City Reg
lster Nicodemus has about twelve thou
sand dollars out in taxes, and has more
than three months TO gather them in be-
fore the next levy is made.
The city officials are verv much pleas
ed with the collections this year 1t is
the policy of The Board OF Aldermen to
back the City Register in the collection
OF taxes. City Register Nicodemus has
the authority and has in fact been in
structed to send out notices TO all per-
sous owing the city in the form of over
due taxes TO remit at once.

We are glad to sec our Mayor and
City Fathers taking some interert in the
speed crazy automobiles who infest our
streets and make safety for pedestrians,
who ought to have some right of way
left, thing to gamble with. If the
laws of the city are not strict enough to
reach the automobile driver, who shoots
around the corners at neck breaking
speed, and in other ways disregards the
most primitive demands of the people
who walk and also of other law abiding
drivers of machines, then they ought to
be abolished and others passed to put
an end to this dangerous practice Some
of these days no automobile will be
geared so that it can be driven over
certain speed, and the day of such wise
regulation is being FASTENED by lot of
maniacs at the automobile steering wheel.

stronger with the people of the State
than he has ever been in his life. He
has made very able and very valuable
United States Senator, and especially to
the State of Maryland. He has prob
ably been the best United States Sena-
tor that the State has had in genera
ton at least.
He holds an enviable position in the
Senate in the respect and esteem of his
fellow Senators. He is a business Sen
ator and an able man in every respect
He has had wide experience as a bust
ness man and in public affairs. He has
had six years experience in the United
States Senate and very important years
they have been. Where can the State
get man better or as well qualified to
fill his place? Let the Democrats make
no mistake here, for if they do it will be
fatal mistake 1t requires all of the
ability and all of the experience possible
in Senator at this time, and especially
honesty, experience and Democracy All
these are found in Senator John Walter
Smith.

Transplanting Time.

Folks who planted their flower seed
early in the spring will find that it is
about time TO transplant some of the
plants Usually when plants are raised
from seeds they come up in clusters,
making 1t necessary to separate them
LATER, so that each may have space
enough in which TO grow and thrive.
But transplanting not only makes the
individual plants stronger and harder
ii also gives the gardener an opportunity
to rearrange his garden. Bare spots can
be filled in with the plants that have
been taken out and the crowded spots
thinned out, giving the flower beds
neat and orderly appearance that will
add much TO the charm and attractive.
ness OF the garden.
From fur to six inches is the usual
space allowed between the plants. Mari
gold should be tranSplanted six inches
apart, and cosmos should be placed even
farther away. Four inches is a sufficient
space between sweet pea vines, and, in
fact, for most plants that do not grew too
large.
Ii the garden won't hold all of the
plants after transplanling, some OF them
may be removed to the window boxes.
NasturiumS look very pretty in window
boxes, and sweet pea vines have also
been planted in boxes with success.
II is very pleasant to think how pretty
the gardens will look when the plants
start TO bloom. Many of them are at
tractive enough now, with the flower
beds laid out i'll neat circles and lozenges,
the sweet pea trellises in place and the
delicate green OF the young plants con
trasling with the loose, dark brown
earth.

THE ELECTION OF A UNITED
STATES SENATOR.

The Democratic party of the State Of
Maryland will have to nominate can.
didate for United States Senator in
few months at the State wide primary to
be elected this fall at the State election.
Of course the Republicans will nomi-
nate candidate also, who is to be
voted for at the same election.
This is very important primary and
election, because it involves the election
of United States Senator and also can
didates for the House of Representa-.
tives 1t is an election of unusual i'm.
portance to the people Of this State, and
it is extremely important to the Demo
Gratis of this State, and in our judy
ment TO all of the people of the State
without regard to party. to maintain the
Democratic representation in Congress-
The Congress of the United States is
now Democratic in both branches and is
thoroughly in harmony with the admin
istration
Congress has adopted Democratic
Tariff Law and also national banking
and currency sy-tem, and the success of
both may be materially advanced by a
Democratic majority in Congress, or re-
tarded by the election of Republican
Congress, or even 10y the election in
either branch Of majority of Repub
licans. Besides this other important
laws are to he passed and the trouble
some Mexican situation has to be cleared
up, all Of which has been mapped out.
Now the Senate is controlled by the
Democrats by very slim majority, and
1t is vastly important that this slender
majority be maintained, and not only
maintained, but if possible, increased.
Thus the State of Maryland is forced
to act wisely in its selection of candi-
date for United States Senator.
While this State is normally Demo
cratic, and in all probability will elect
Democrat to the Senate, it is necessary
to make the best and wisest selection in
the nomination of candidate for Sen
ator, because there will be strong eff
fort made by the Republicans to elect
their candidate.
So far there appears to be only two
candidates for the Democratic nomina-
ton. Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus is candi-
date and has already opened his cam.
paign, and the other candidate is our
present Senator, Hon John Walter
Smith, who is a candidate to succeed
himself.
Senator Smith is well and favorably
known all over the State. and there is
no man in the State better known He
has been lifelong Democrat. He has
never kicked over the traces, and more
than that he has never kicked under the
traces.
When the ticket is made, he has al
ways come to the rack, fodder or no
fodder. 1t never makes any difference
to him, what the ticket is when il is
nominated, he is for it. and his shoulder
has always been at the wheel to elect
the ticket. He has never even been
known to falter in his support of every
ticket that his party nominated. He
has been member Of the State I.,gis.
lature. the State Senate. Congressman
Governor. and for six years United
States Senator.
Suffice it is to say, that he has filed
each and every position that he has ever
held with ability, and has given entire
satisfaction to the people, and he is

Say Auto Driving is Too Reckless

With the automobile season in full
SWING in Frederick county, the trials and
trlbulatlonS of FrederiCk'S traffic squad
have increased. The cops claim that
more than half of the Young men. driv-
ing machines, that pass the square, have
no chauffeur licenses. which is a violation
OF the State law. The police force also
contends that there are many young men
driving machines. who are entirely too
young in order TO insure safety 10 the
public.
One of the members of Frederick's
traffic squad said that if these things
were not Investigated Frederick could
expect accident after accident. Il have
always noticed the man, who is lust
learning to drive machine always wants
TO drive over the most congested sec.
tons of the city, instead of going off by
himself, where he collide with anyone
except a fence" said one Of the traffic
officers.
That these young men and green"
drivers were menace TO the public
safety. was the opinion of the traffic
squad, which stands at the Square Cor
ner." all day long and directs the twelve
streams OF traffic that passes over that
square at all hours of the day. One of
the cops said that the hands OF the Fred
erick force were tied, for the reason that
the chauffeur license" clause was a
State law and up to the State officials.
Justice George R. Dennis. IT., Monday
afternoon fined E. ]. Zimmerman $40 TO-
running down partly intoxicated man
on the square corner. Zimmerman told
the justice that he was just learning to
drive the machine. The arrest was made
by Officer FIby.

May Yet Have Cavalry Troop

II the peace mediatorS now in confer
ence at Niagara Falls fail to hit upon
scheme that will solve the Mexican con-
troversy and the United States declares
war with Mexico, Col. E. Austin Baugh-
man, member OF the staff of Ex-Governor
Warfield, of Maryland, will be called
upon to raise and organize the crack cav
airy troop from Frederick county. That
was the gist of a communication that
Major General Leonard Wood sent to
Colonel Banghman in reply 70 a letter
asking tor information regarding such a
troop and the chances OF seeing active
service
Colonel Baughman wrote to General
Wood nearly month ago. The letter
went first 10 Vera Cruz, Mexico. where 1t
had been reported General Wood was
stationed. The communication was for
warded from Vera Cruz to Washington.
and on Tuesday General Wood replied
Before writing to General Wood Colonel
Baughman asking General Charles F.
Macklin, commander of the Mary
land National Guards whether cavalry
troop from Frederick county could be
used in connection with the State militia.
Robbed of House Effects.
Endeavoring to establish house for

Tuesday, is the experience of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. c. Irwin, recently married, who
a short time ago came to Frederick from
Pennsylvania Mr.. Irwin came to Fred
erick as the manager of the Haine's Shoe
Store, North Market street this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin rented the house
at No. - Telegraph street. and on Mon
day had their goods moved INTO it. On
Monday afternoon and night much of the
goods were unpacked aud was placed
about the house at any place which offer
ed convenient place to set it, until tie
home could be put in order
Tuesday evening it was found that
during the afternoon the house had been
entered and considerable fine china was
carried off, bureau set, which Mrs.
Irwin priced very highly and some bed
clothing and trinketS and bric,a-brac.
The thieves in going through the house
used excellent discretion. and picked
only the articles of considerable value,
and the choicest OF the house.
