Senator Orlando Harrison has in
troduced his Road Bill which has re-
ceived very favorable comment from
farmers in all sections of the State.
Ii is very natural that some politi-
clans, who desire to use their hench-
men in building and repairing roads
regardless of cost and good results
are opposed to any change, but far
seeing citizens who want results and
who know that the Maryland State
Roads Commission gets results are
very much in favor of Senator Har-
rison's bill becoming law. The bill
as introduced by Senator Harrison
follows:
AN ACT to repeal and re-enact
with amendments Section so of
Article 81 of the Annotated Code
of Maryland, title Surveyor and
State Survey" subtitle "Public

recting the State Roads Commits

toin, maintenance and improvement

former are running practically fun time and the

QUEST OF

standardize their villains suggests the Los Angeles
Times. "The government of Mexico was inclined to
kick because the villain in a recent film was q Mex
lean The Chinese people are complaining because
the dirty work in SO many pictures is performed by
Cinnamon. The English do not like the kind of Eng
lishmen that sometimes get into the films. The French
folk have become enangered because of the scoundrel-
ly performances of some of the Frenchmen accredited
TO the screen There is still the Irish Free State to
hear from, but it can be imagined what a roar il will
be if a villain Is put on wearing a green necktie and
red chin whiskers. In order to avoid combinations
and make everybody happy the directors will have 70

films go into all parts of the world. But the bulk of

Frenchman and the Jap arc the crooks or adventurers.
That is where the grievance comes in. The producers
are broad enough They have plenty of American vii
lains in their plays. But other nations do not appre-
ciate the fact. They only see it is performed by one
of their own race. II there is a play with a Spapiard

RECENT EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS.

The par of exchange between the British pound and
the United States dollar is s4.s665, and the market
price of exchange before the war was seldom 2 cents
from this, but within the last two months the price
has ranged from 81 to $40, which is 10 per cent
From the standpoint Of a British buyer of American
products that means a huctuation of 10 per cent in
the price, and as there is now no fixed relation between
the curreneies of the two countries nobody can fore
tell what the fluctuations may be. The pound sterling
may go down to 50 or up to s4.s6 IN the coming
months Its movements will depend upon many con-
tingencies-the need Of England for our cotton and
foodstuffs, the effect Of the Fordney tariff bin, the
strike in the gold mines Of South Africa, our pressure
for payment of the British debt to the United States
government, etc, etc. Moreover, they are affected by
speculatioD-by what SPECTATORS think of the future.
The fluctuations Of the pound sterling are less than
the fluctuations of many other currcncies. The Ger
man mark lost more than onehaK its value within
three months last fan. Consider the position of an
American exporter who had outstanding accounts pay
able in marks, or of q German importer who had I'M

Grains of
TnAnaya

The list might be much extended, but this will suf-
flee to show how the monetary systems of the world
were linked together by their common relation to gold.
Although the countries had different paper currencies,
different units of value, they had a common unit in
the grain of gold, and by reason of their fixed rela-
tons to this they all had practically fixed relations to
each other. The gold coins of any Of these countries
may be shipped to any other of these countries and
recoined into the money of that country, practically
without loss. They have practically the same pur-
chasing value anywhere and under any name, trans

believe to be the most constructive
measure that can be devised It is not
a question Of tearing Gown the serv-
ice mems self-respect 1t Is a matter
Of caving the nation its own"
1t win be noted from tho text of
the message hat Mr.. MacNider states
that the American Legion-not he
himself personally-.Asks that the
passage of h adjusted compensation
bill be nc longer delayed" In max
i-g this urgent request National Com
mander MacNider Is eimpiy and man
fully carrying out the mandate of the
national body OF the American Le-
gion-a mandate reiterated in three
successive national conventions Of the
oreani=-ticn.
There exists not a shadow of a
doubt that Hartford MacNider does
speak for his fellow veterans. There
are only two clements of former serv-
ice men. either In or out of tho Le-
gion, who r not whole eartedly be-
hind the national commander of the
Legion In his battle for the veterans
OF tho world war. These two ele-
ments are composed Of former eerv-
ice men who never had a chance to
SEQ combat service or of officers who
were in the service only a short time
before the armisdce. Neither of these
classes were sufficiently exposed to
the hardships OF war to know what
war really was.
Hanford MacN1der entered the serv-
Ice of his country as a private in
h ranks. Through innate qualities
of leadership he rose grade by grade
TO the rank Of Ieutenant-coloneL. His
prominence In civil life is no less dis
tinguished- The public well remem-
bers that only a few days ago he de-
clined h appointment of the gov
ernor of owe to a seat in the SEN
ate to fill h unexpired term of Sem
ator Kenyon. MacNider has demon
strated himself a leader of men. and
leaders of his caliber feel that It is
not possible for them to lay aside with
the uniform their responsibilities to-
ward men who served with them and
under them in time of war. Far from
deserving h attack launched against
] him. Commander AfacNider more than
ever merits the commentator of in
