dozen other big subjects are all
manner that they must commend
themselves to the attention OF the
Legislature in the light in which the
Governor has placed them.
Governor Sproul very properly
urges the Legislature to take prompt
action on the enactment of the dry
federal amendment. AS he says.
Pennsylvania should promptly place
herself in line with the common
wealths that have gone on record as
standing for this great reform.
There can be little doubt that this
will be the first of his official rec
concentrations to be endorsed.
Almost in the same paragraph he
urges the adoption of suffrage for
women. This Is another progress
sive movement that must commend
itself to all those who have observ-
ed the magnificent manner in which
the womanhood of Pennsylvania
to the patriotic appeal for service
during the great war. And no doubt
under Governor Sprouts leadership
this long delayed step will be taken
by the present Legislature. ..
Harrisburg is intensely interested
in seeing the State develop Capitol
Park along the lines SO admirably
laid down during previous admins
trations and it will rejoice to observe
that the new Governor is as one with
them in this. 1t is to be hoped that
the subject will be SO presented in
detail to the Legislature at an early
date that there will be no delay in
making such an appropriation as
will enable the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings to move for
ward as suggested by Governor
Sproul in his message.
a most important paragraph of
the inaugural is that which has to
do with the Governors part in the
framing and enactment of legisla-
ton. Governor Sproul, very COM
mendably, has decided to return to
first principles in a very distinct sep
aration of the legislative and execu-
tive branches of the state govern
ment. He will not hesitate, he says,
to lay before the House or Senate
any such matters as he believes to
be of Importance, but he will not
use the great powers entrusted to
him as Governor of the state for
either political advantage or to en-
force the passage of bills in which
he is interested. This is a very wise
and proper decision. Executives
have been all too prone in recent
years to merge these two depart
ments of government. 1t is to be
hoped that the Federal administra-
ton will take notice OF this effort on
the part of Pennsylvania Governor
to get back to a truly democratic
form OF government and to comply
with the intention of the trainers
of the constitution in this respect.
Governor Sprouts inaugurel is all
that his friends expected of him and
more. 1t should be constantly be-
fore the leaders who guide the ac-
tivities Of the Legislature. They
could find no better program for
the coming session.

SOLDIERS HEAD
STATE HIGHWAY
WORK IN MAURY
CAPT. THOMAS A. M'EWEN, MAU.
RY couNTiAN, APPOINTED
DISTRICT ENGINEER.
CONSTRUCTIONW THISWINTER
n. Andrews Resident Engineer, Also
Served in Army-Highway to Be
Model for the State and One of
Best in America.
DAILY Herald, Aug. 26. J

Maury county's section of the Jack
son Highway, soon to be constructed
by state, federal and county co-opera-
ton, is being surveyed by two former
soldiers. Capt. Thomas A. McEwen,
late of the 22nd engineers, U, S. A., is
district engineer in charge of the pro
ject, and H. Andrews, who served with
the ordnance department of the army
during the war, is resident engineer
on the project and probably will have
personal supervision of the work in
this county under Capt. McEwen.
Capt. McEwen is well known as a
highway engineer having worked with
State Engineer w. P. Moore in Ten
nessee and other states on highway
construction. He has also been con.
nected with the engineering force OF
the Louisville & Nashville railway and
has had experience in road construc.
ton in western states. His last work
before entering the army was as coun-
ty engineer of Hickman county in the
construction of system of highways
that has attracted the attention of en-.
gineers throughout the state. The
Hickman county roads were construct
ed through difficult terrain, many hills
and narrow valleys providing numer-
Gus handicaps. The location of the
roads there is considered one of the
finest pieces of engineering work in
the state
Capt McEwen has been appointed
district engineer of the state highway
department and will have several
counties in this section of the state
under his supervision. He will have
personal supervision, however, over
the construction work here as we'll as
in other counties, Being Maury
countian his appointment will be es-
pecially pleasing to his many friends
here.
Mr.. Andrews is young man, but ID
an experienced engineer. He is a
graduate of the engineering depart.
ment of st. Johns College, Annapolis,
Md, and has, been engaged in road
construction work in number Of
states.
The preliminary survey now being
made on the Spring Hill road for the
Jackson highway has progressed about
five miles toward Columbia. The en-.
gineering party is composed of about
five men, They will make their head
quarters at Spring Hill until they, are
nearer Columbia and then will make
headquarters here.
Although Capt. McEwen could give
no definite statement as to when the
actual construction of the highway
will begin, he said that it would be
just as soon as the surveys are ap-
proved by the federal highway depart
ment He thought TIT the work prob.
ably would begin this winter and be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
road is to be of an asphaltic and stone
construction that will make it a mod
Ell highway building and section of
road that any state could be proud of.
Capt. McEwen's service in the army
carried him into the front lines where
he was engaged in constructing light
railways for the advancement of sup
plies and artillery. 4e was in the st.
Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne drives.
