From the Laurel Leader
The Good Roads Association, which

leading citizens of this vicinity. de-

tire population of the Diamond State
Il is not a political organization. it
is purely a Good Roads Association

nomination Of men to represent the
different districts in the legislature

support good roads measures, and the
appeal which has gone forth today to

ally interested should surely bring
results and it is hoped that our cs-
teemed contemporaries throughout
the State will help us i'm our cam

real force back Of the bili-the force
which hilariously notified us that all

troll of the late Legislature and when
Il decided to present itself with a

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES INDICATE REPUBLI-
CANISM.

II VERY hour that the Underwood tariff is in effect
l. only serves to accentuate the handsome 'indica-
ton it supplies the Republican principle of protec-
ton
The Democratic tarn policy has been weighed in the
balance and found to be lacking in those elements
which make for national welfare.
Republicans may felicate themselves upon the fact
that the failure the Democratic party to produce the
results promised in the shape of industrial and COM
mercia prosperity and the lessenng of the cost Of
living constitute in the American mind the best
sibe argument in favor Of the restoration of the Re
publican party to power at the first possible oppor-
tunity
To limited extent that opportunity will come next
November. Not however until two years after that will
the citizens Of the United States be in position to
show by their votes exactly what they think of the
Wilson administration and its shortcomings.

WIN ATTO SPEEDING.

From the Middletown Transcript.
Travel on the public highways
either by horse drawn vehicles Or by
automobiles. is made unsafe by the
reckless manner in which some auto
mobiles are run.
1t is common sight, as all users
of the public roads we'll know, to see
autos rushing along 25 to 40 miles an
hour. not only seriously damaging by
reason Of their high speed the roads
themselves but endangering the pro-
perty and lives of all whom they en-
counter
On Saturday last in the dusk Of the
evening a reckless youth from Smyrna
while driving a large automobile con-
tanning five persons at a furious pace
down the hill at Sam Lambs Cove
ran into another car with four people
in It, overturning both cars and only

This outrageous abuse of the high

Illustration of events that have be

This reckless auto speeding has
aroused the anger of all sensible
automobiles as well as that of al
persons otherwise using the public
roads. and a proper remedy is de-
mandod.
To punish these "scorchers," spies
have heretofore been emplOyed-some
of them men of Indifferent character
who receive one-half of the fines
levied. This system has led to great
abuse--o something. indeed, like ?

Some days ago the writer brought
this matter of auto speeding before
the Levy Court. and made a motion
that in lieu of the present fne-shar-

hiring at s. a day of a number Of
skilful men OF undoubted honesty to
act as special constables.
This motion was voted down by a
majority of the Levy Court at that

United States Circuit Court Judge
Gray last Friday sent his resignation
to President Wilson to take effect the

the announcement of Judge Gray's res

THE SCHOOL SURVEY.
From The Salisbury Tribune,

From the Salisbury Tribune
Few people seem to realize what
we, or rather our schools. escaned
last winter at the hands of the grab
ping politicians who went to AMMAN
oils as near-statesmen and came
away branded as the instigators of
the greatest grab-fest ever suffered
Not satisfied with legislating all its
ward-heelers into offices of moro or
less concern to the vitals of the State

the democrats new hold upon the
schools by which the millions OF
money each year would serve the
party before it even went into the act.
ual education of the children.
As was stated last winter i'm the
papers all over the State, the general
assembly was going TO take schools
out of politics by putting them into
the hands Of the Democratic party
In other words, it was going to leg
islate into the control of the schools
OF the State "A lot of men who were
expected TO make the most of their
positions for political control.
This led to a loud protest not only
from the people but from educators
who happened to be more concerned
about the schools than about the
party The proposed legislation
would certainly have been a great
mistake. Our Maryland schools are
many years behind some of the much
Younger states in progress, and this
legislation would have put us in a
position from which we could not
free ourselves for progress in years.
The opposition to the proposed
grab Of the school system vas so
pronounced and SO general that the
influence of the administration at
Washington was appealed to and adj
vised against it. recommending in
stead a survey Of the schools of the
State, with a view of determining
what would be the best measures TO
{ adopt for more efficient and more
economical system.
The commission will have free ac-
cess to all public records necessary
to the carrying out of its duties and
all school commissioners. superinten-
dents, teachers and other officers con-
nected with the schools and education
institutions receiving State aid will
! be required TO give such assistance
as the commission may require
The result ought to be the best con-
! ceivable outline for the development

THE 4. o. L. W.
From the Dover State Sentinel.
One OF the convincing proofs that
the world is getting better-that
mankind is growing more humane, is
to be found IN the growth ana sta
bility of the great fraternal organ
izations of this country.
OF these, and their name is legion
the one that appeals TO US at this
time is the A. o. L. w. We have
been associated with that order for
thirty years. We have seen 1t grow
from the experimental age, through
its various difficulties, and seen it
come thro' as If tried by FIRE, TO the
refined gold of fraternalism.
The leaders in this organization
manfully grasped the problems that
assailed it, and manfully they set
themselves to work 20 solve them,
This they have done, and now after
more than thirty years Of life it
stands like live oak, towering
above its competitors in sturdy. con-
fident strength This condition, in
this State, marks the achievement Of
a great victory. No one who knows
how bitterly it has been assailed,
how men who, forgetting all ease
save their effort to get something for
nothing, deserted in the day of trial,
and then turned upon the faithful,
loyal men who knew, that somewhere
along the line the Order was pUrsu-
ing lay the place and condition of
safety, and were determined to find 1t.
They have found It. The men who
deserted and then attempted to wreck
the Order, have been beaten in the
fight. The order is strong and they
are weak We have in mind now,
the pathetic case-the tragic death
Of a former member of the order.
Suddenly the call came. There was
no avoiding the inevitable. When
that appeared. the regret. and the
most constant one, was his failure to
keep his place in the membership of
the A. o. L. w. That is the lament
of his wife and family today.
Just here in my narrative comes
the inevitable woman-the indispen-
sable woman. We are in full favor
of the apparent innovation, and glad
to note that Diamond Lodge has open
cd its doors, and disclosed its secrets
to the wives and daughters of the
members of the Order.
We see in this the means OF cor
recting many erroneous opinions
about the Order. We sec too the
gathering into It vast number OF
helpful workers. We see too the
means of curing a defect, that while

MEDICAL INSPECTION
IN THE SCHOOLS.

From the Princess Anne Marylandcr.
Under the provisions of the school
legislation passed at the recent session
of the Legislature, the school boards OF
the counties of Maryland will have
many added duties and chief among
them will be the matter of medical in
spcction of all the scholars and all the
teachers and ianitOrs employed in the
various schools The law is very strin-
gent in this inspection and will no doubt
cause much dissatisfaction from parents
with unhealthy children and from
teachers who are unfortunate enough
to be afflicted with diseases like tuber-
culosis and other communicable alice
tions.
Under this law the school commits
sioners are called upon TO appoint one
