FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907.
Next Tuesday Baltimore’s municipal
election takes place, and the democrats
will not listen to any suggestion but that
their ticket, headed by Mahool for Mayor,
with Numsen and Hooper as running
mates, will make a clean sweep, while
the republicans are equally as confident
that the voters have great faith in Mayor
Timanus and appreciation for what he
has accomplished for the city during his
tenure of office, and will show it by elect
ing him, together with Tattersall and
Heffner.
A writer discussing the changed con
ditions asks, how many boys today have
the opportunity to learn a trade? The
old-fashioned trades are disappearing and
groups of unskilled piece-workers take
the place of the old-time mechanic. Ap
prentices no longer acquire the skill
required to direct a business, but each
monotonously works on some minor part
and becomes a mere machine for the
use and profit of some trust which owns
the processes.
The Standard Oil Company has been
found guilty on over 1,400 counts of vio
lating the United States laws. The total
fines, if imposed, would amount to nearly
thirty million dollars. But the fines
won’t be imposed. The Standaad Oil
Company is too powerful a factor in pol
itics for any one to even dream that it
will have to answer for its infractions of
the law. The oil trust is in politics be
cause it knows bow to make politics pay
Suppose the people would study politics
as closely a9 do the trusts, and see to it
that the men elected represented them
and not the corporate interests, bow long
would the trusts continue to do as they
please ?
The readjustment of the salaries of
rural free delivery mail carriers, which
was authorized by the last Congress,
.increasing the maximum amount to be
paid carriers to S9OO per
operative July 1, and involves au expen
diture for the rural service during the
next fiscal year of 135,000,000. The
schedule adopted is : Twenty-four or
more miles the carrier will receive S9OO
per annum; 22 to 24 miles, #864; 20 to 22
miles, $810; 18 to 20 miles, $720; 16 to 18
miles, $630; 14 to 16 miles, J 540; 12 to 14
miles, $504; 10 to 12 miles, $468; 8 to 10
miles, $432; 6to 8 miles, #396. This is
an increase all along the line of 9to 24
per cent. Maryland has at present.3B7

President Roosevelt’s declaration prac
tically declaring Moyer, Haywood and
Pettibone guilty, before they have been
tried, of complicity in the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho, upon
which charge they were kidnapped by
officers in Colorado and thrown in jail
in Idaho without extradition papers,
and the branding of them as “undesirable
citizens,” in which category be places
Eugene V. Debs, has precipitated a storm
of protest from labor organizations
throughout the country, which it is prob
able he had no idea would be evoked,
and fresh vials of wrath are being poured
over bis head daily. Whatever effect the
President’s stigmatization and attack on
the other men may have it has been the
means of lecture bureaus all over the
country offering Debs increased induce
ments, appreciating his value as a draw
ing card and the free advertisement given
him by Mr. Roosevelt.
Twenty years ago one beard much
about the mortgages on Kansas farms.
You hear very little of Kansas farm mort
gages today, for the simple reason that
most of the farms that were mortgaged
have long since passed into the hands of
the fellows who held the notes. As the
farms are now in “stronger bands” no
mortgages now appear against them on
the records. The last census shows that
44.343 Ifansas farms are operated by
tenants, and this amounts to more than
at first ameers when one remembers that
in numerous instances what were for
merly several farfns have been combined
„ by their owner into one. It is safe to
say that capitalism has taken 50,000
Kansas farms from those who pre-euipted
them years ago.—Exchange.
The people of the United States have a
sweet tooth, as the Bureau of Statistics
shows the amount of sugar consumed
during the fiscal year averages abont 76
pounds per person. The aggregate
amount consumed in the United States
for the year is 6,000.000,000 pounds.
Home production supplies a little over
one-fifth of this, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines another fifth, while we
are dependent on other countries for
nearly three-fifths.
1 WASHINGTON LETTEE.
s
t Secretary Taft has gone to Ohio and
, interest is on tip toe with reference to
! what he may say in reply to Senator For
: aker. Judge Taft is very popular in
1 Washington, where he is known and
r loved. With the newspaper fraternity he
- is on the best of terms and there is great
3 confidence that he will not blunder but
• say and do the right thing, and this in
' spite of his inexperience on the hustings.
It is suspected, in fact known, that there
is a strong predilection for him through
out the country, not perhaps on his own
, account, but because it is believed he is
, the choice of the President. There are
I doubtless millions of people who if they
, cannot have their preference and vote for
Roosevelt for another term will solace
I themselves by the next best thing in vot
, ing for the man in whom be has faith
. and whom he recommends. The friends
. of the President are loth to give up the
, idea that he himself may still be induced
to run and are trying to harmonize the
third term and anti-third term move
meuls by calling the proposed term "sec
ond elective term.” It is argued that as
I the President has been elected td the
office but once he has served but one
“elective term’ 1 and is eligible for the
j office again. It seems comparatively
easy to convince the country that this
fully covers the situation, but the diffi-
cully seems to be to persuade the Presi
dent. It is thoroughly apparent that he
does not want the office again, probably
mainly because he thinks it is opposed to
the spirit of ;tbe traditional limitation of
the Presidential term, and also because
he would like a rest after his seven years
’ of onerous, nerve racking work. He. is
reported to have said when spoken to on
the subject that he was not tired of his
“job” and that he did not think that
f another term would kill him, but that it
1 probably would shorten his life by ten
, years and be could not spare that many.
.
’ The sensation of the week and even
' greater sensation than the Harriman letter
“ exposure or the reported five million
: dollar conspiracy has been the President’s
r reply to the persistent questioning of the
1 labor agitators. It is quite probable that
’■ these gentlemen greatly overrate their
’ political influence and tbeir importance.
1 They are no doubt and in a sense great
5 and powerful in their respective localities,
5 but they evidently knew little of the
1 character and temperament of the Presi
-7 dent when they persistently asked him if
he had said something which they and
all the world knew that be had said. He
- made a reply which stopped a whole
I procession of delegations that were on
1 the way to the White House, for what
1 purpose heaven only knows, unless it was
1 to dare him to say it again.
' . V
1 Washington has been practically de
’ serted for several days this week on ac
count of the opening of the Jamestown
5 Exposition, which was formally accom
-1 plished by the President Friday. The
5 Presidential party left on the yacht May
flower Thursday afternoon. A little
’ earlier the steamers carrying all the Dip
lomatic corps and the Congressional
parties sailed away from the Washington
’ dock on their way to the Exposition. The
President was accompanied by his wife
and two youngest boys and a number of
. Naval officers. As usual a large crowd
1 had gathered near the Navy yard, from
which the President’s yacht sailed and
were rewarded not only by seeing the
1 President but hearing him give orders
. and instructions to the seamen who were
- working to release the yacht from its
t moorings. The occasion for his tempo
i rary desertion of the Ship of Slate for the
f direction of the cruiser yacht was the
1 danger to some children who were- stand
> ing nearby when the hawser attached to
1 the vessel and the pier, was used to draw
I the yacht into midstream. Leaning far
' out over the taffrail he shouted to the
| men to look out for the children, and not
. until he saw that they were safe did he
1 bow and wave his hat in salutation to the
> crowd that was cheering him. The Pres
[ ident’s boys, Archie and Quentin, are as
wholesome and natural boys as one could
find in auy country town. They have
( been carefully reared and apparently feel
5 no exaltation from being the sons of the
I [President. They are wholly uospoiled j
- and this trip to Jamestown is just as much
. of a treat to them as it would be to any
f wide awake, unsophisticated boy in the
. land. As soon as they were on the May
' flower they lost interest in the crowd and
. descended to see wbat made the “wheels
'■ go around." Before the vessel was free
of the dock they had made a tour of in
spection from one end to the other, and |
it is safe to say that by the time they J
reached Jamestown and with the instruc-.
tion that the officers were eager to give I
they had a pretty good idea of navigation ,
and marine engineering.
The President’s day in Jamestown was
a strenuous one and on account of the
heat and the crowds must have been an
exhausting one. The Exposition is not
really ready yet, just as no exposition has
ever been ready at the time of opening,
but there will be a stream of visitors
passiug through Washington to the big
fair from this time on all through the
Summer. Nearly all of the excursion
tickets to Jamestown will provide trips to
or stop overs at the Capital, so that the
visitors will in reality have the benefit of
a great deal of interesting aight seeing. (
As a matter of fact the exposition, if any .
were to be held in this section, should j
have been at Washington where the hotel
service and accommodations for a big
crowd would have been adequate. But j
. since it was decided to put it in that little '
I .
“neck of the woods” it is fortunate agree- •
able that the majority of the visitors will
also have an opporiuuity of seeing the
I Capital.
The unpreparedness of the Exposition
’ at its opening was to be expected, but in
t respect of unreadiness the Jamestown Ex
position exceeds all the others that have
taken place since the Centennial at Phil
[ adelphia. There is not the least doubt
but that next September will see it incotn
t plete, and the insanity of attempting to
have a world's fair at this place will be
the theme of objurgation with every one
who attempts to go there or to live after
he gets there.
A Stolen Trade Secret.
1 The manufacture of tinware in Eng
-3 land originated in a stolen secret. Few
, readers need to be informed that tin
j ware is simply thin sheet iron plated
with tin by being dipped into ’the molt
; en metal. In theory it is an easy mat- 1
ter to clean the surface of iron. Dip ■
■ the iron in a bath of boiling tin and
5 remove it enveloped in the silvery met-!
: al to a place of cooling. In practice,
. however, the process is one of the most
, difficult of arts. It was discovered in
, Holland and guarded from publicity I
with the utmost vigilance for nearly
half a century. England tried to dis
cover the secret in vain until James
• Sherman, a Cornish miner, crossed the
! channel, Insinuated himself surrepti- j
• tiously Into a tin plate manufactory, [
i made himself master of the secret and
r brought it home.
Wonderful Eczema Cure.
' “Oar little boy had eczema for
' five years,” writes N. A. Adams,
Henrietta, Pa. “Two of oar home
doctors said the case was hopeless,,
his lungs being affected. We then
employed other doctors, but no
benefit resulted. By chance we
read about Electric Bitters; bought
a bottle and soon noticed improve
ment. We continued this medi
cine until several bottles were used,
when our boy was completely
cured.” Best of all blood medi

The Joys of Relio Hunting.
Quite apart from the beauty and in
trinsic worth of such things, it Is as
tonishing on looking back on one’s ex
; periences of collecting to realize how
, much pleasure one has got out of even
a dilettante quest of antiques. The ex
hilarating joy of this treasure hunt, the
finding of the treasure, the bargaining
1 for it and the final bearing of it home
1 in triumph, unwrapping it and dis
' cussing its beauties and merits, are
things which add zest to life. And, as
the taste for beautiful old things is
more or less an acquired one and can
be cultivated, this is a joy in which
most people who are fortunate enough
to have a little spare cash and a little
spare time can share.—-London Tatler.
The Joy of Owning Land.
There is a distinct joy in owning
land, unlike that which you have In
money, in houses, in books, pictures
! or anything else which men have do
; vised. Personal property brings you
into society with men. But land is a
part of God's estate in the globe, and
when a parcel of ground is deeded to
| you and you walk over it and call tt
your own it seems as if you had come
into partnership with the original Pro
prietor of the earth. Henry Ward
. Beecher.
My Best Friend.
Alexander Benton, who lives on
Rural Route 1, Fort Edward, N.
Y., says: “Dr. King’s New
Discovery is my best earthly friend.
It cured me of asthma six years
ago. It has also performed a
wonderful cure of incipient con
sumption for my son’s wife. The
first bottle ended the terrible
cough, and this accomplished, the
other symptoms left one by one
until she was well. Dr.
King’s New Discovery’s power
over coughs aud colds is simply
marvelous.” No other remedy
has ever equaled it. Fully guar
anteed by Eli T. Reynolds,
