Death OF john s. Mosby.

Col. John Singleton Mosby, 83 years old.
celebrated Confederate raider. and one Of
the last picturesque figures of the Civil
War. died last Tuesday morning at Garfield
Hospital. Washington. following an illness
Of six months. Col. Mosby was taken to
Garfield Hospital about three weeks ago.
He was conscious until within an hour of
his death, and at all times during his ill
ness took keen interest in national and
local questions Of the day.
The passing Of Col. Mosby on Memorial
Day struck sadness to the hearts Of his
thousands Of friends among the veterans
Of the blue and gray alike. 1t is related of
Col. Mosby that he never attended but one
reunion Of "Mosby's men," that held at
Alexandria, Va. twenty-five years ago, at
which time he was SO affected that he and
his entire audience were moved to tears,
The experience was so affecting to Col.
Mosby that he never participated in an
other reunion.
OF recent years Col. Mosby lived with his
daughter. Mrs. Stuart Coleman, in Wash
ington city.
Col Mosby dared death over fifty years
ago when, at the head Of band Of few
hundred Confederate raiders. he rode up
and down the Shenandoah valley captur-
ing outposts, destroying supply trains and
cutting off means Of communication. II
has been estimated that he often neutral
lied the force of over $4,000 Federals in
the valley.
Born in Powhatan county. Va, Deem
Der 6, 1888. and graduated from the Uni
versity Of Virginia in 1852, he was prac-
ticing law in Bristol Va, when the war
broke out. and he began his career in the
Confederate army. He proved his daring
with such effect that he became scout
for Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and led the cele-
brated raid around McClelland's army on the
Chickahominy In Richmond, year later,
he recruited an independent cavalry troop,
which became famous as Mosby's Partisan
Rangers. They became night riders and
the terror Of the Federal troops.

wires were in the way of the trees.
The exception states That trees stand

AUDITING landowner for his own use with
out first obtaining a permit" This passage,
taken verbatim from the law. defines clear
ly and exactly the only change made by
the Legislature of 1915 since its passage
by the body of 1914. This exception was
inserted at the instance of the Board of
Forestry. which must enforce the law.
Since the enactment Of this measure
practically the only objection disinterest-
eddy raised by anyone who has witnessed
it in application. has occurred over the
protection accorded trees shading unim-
proved highways. These latter, of course,
seldom traverse the most populous dis
tricts. being in consequence not heavily
Travelled and their appearance more a
matter Of local than general concern. Peo-
pie residing beside them must therefore
look to their appearance. and the amend
ment places the trees Of the abuttine land
owner altogether in his hands. for his own
use. The trees lining such roads are very
frequently of nearly valueless specimens
and species. often as well being so placed
along the narrow roads that occasionally
they interfere with the operations Of adj
joining farmers.
Those favoring greater latitude in the
governing Of these particular conditions,
REINFORCED in certain cases by others who
for other reasons wished also to have the
bars let down, variously advanced and
advocated a number of revisions and ex-
ceptions which were impractical to
greater or less degree, some OF them ap-
plying only in one county, some in one or
two others. When these had for the greater
part been dropped, those who had origin
ally interested themselves in securing the
Roadside Tree Law for the State decided
that the above given modification Of this
Act most nearly met the situation from
all sides. safely and satisfactorily.
This change cannot detract in the slight
est from the proper shading of largely
travelled improved highways, though at the
same time it gives to such landowners as
may have property rights along side I'M
improved highways authority to themselves
to remove forthwith any offending shade
trees, for their own use. At the same
time the public, along any roadway-im-
proved or unimproved, macadamized or
dirt-will continue to be thoroughly pro-
tected in the matter of its shade trees
from the operations of persons. not the
owners, who for personal reasons might
destroy Or damage public shade trees.
This is slight change in a modern,
constructive piece of legislation. passed for
the good of the State as whole, enforced
since its enactment for the direct welfare
Of the public. This amendment will be
further aid to its more general understand
ing, enforcement and benefits.

Fighting Free Roads.

Roads Chairman Frank H. Zouck has
started fight against the Adamson bill,
pending in Congress, which would COM
pell Maryland to allow District of Columbia
motorists to use the roads of this State
without purchasing license.
The people in the District have been
fighting for years for free use of the Mary
land roads in exchange for free use by
Marylanders of the District highways. This
State has steadfastly refused to enter into
such an arrangement on the ground that it
would be giving far more than it would
get, inasmuch as Maryland has more than
1000 miles of costly modern highways,
which are very expensive to maintain and
which are heavily worn by automobile
traffic. while the District has only relatively
a few miles Of much-traveled city streets.
Chairman Zouck has written to Congress
man Talbot in opposition to the bill and
will get in touch with the other Maryland
Representatives and Senators.
Chairman Zouck's letter to Congressman
Talbot Is as follows:
"A bill is pending in Congress. known as
the Adamson bill. which has for its pur-
poses the adjustment Of the license fees
charged the residents of the District of
Columbia by the State Of Maryland for the
privilege Of using its roads. II this law
goes into effect. it will deprive the State
n Mo~.,lanA Of ~, con nnn
which is nearly one cent on our State tax
rate.
The money collected from automobile
licenses is the only money we receive to
maintain our State road system. The last
Legislature removed the one cent tax which
was formerly applied to the maintenance
Of State roads, and II we are deprived Of
the revenue collected from the Washington
cars it will seriously embsrass this com,
mission. When the one-cent tax rate wa:
removed il was estimated that the revenue
from automobile licenses for the fisca
year ending April 80, 1915. would amount
to 100000. but only $4,000 was col
lected and Baltimore city received 20 pc
cent. Of this amount. which leaves ne
revenue Of only $4,000 for the main
tenance of about 1900 miles of road.
IF the above law goes into effect, it will
deprive us Of nearly one-quarter Of tina
revenue and will be utterly impossible I,
maintain the roads as we have in the past
I'VE have reciprocity with every State ant
territory within the United States which
extends to the motorists of our State tn,
same privilege and the use Of their man,
miles Of roads, but we think 1t is unfair I,
allow this same privilege to motorists of tn,
District Of Columbia, which has only ,
small number Of miles Of thickly Travelled
streets to offer in return. hope that Con
gress will see the justice Of our contention
and that it will not pass the bill"
