The press Of Mary land is buslly en-
gagged in booming the coming Stat,
Mechanical and Agricultural Exposition

thousand times more good to the pe"pl,
at large For it Is too frequently The
Ease that political editors in their argu

Reckless assertions, not born out by facts

Any deviation from such policy is to

Hope that the press, which is power for
gnod or evil, will in the future pay more
attention to the material welfare Of the
State. aud less to the supremacy Of any
Ibltlcal orgaulz ,iim. At the meeting
II editors in Baltimore on tie 9th in

lish such information and news is shall

Association in order 10 give to the farm

also to devote all possible space To IN

has been doing, and will continue to do.

great benefits to be derived from the

need renewed energy which can only be
infused by the introduction of earnest

way to attract that class of energetic

Better Remain Here.

There are solid chunks of truth in
the following from the columns Of the
Baltimore American.
Towards Oklahoma the tides Of travel
flowed with a rush and an enthusiasm
that were exciting to behold. From
oklahoma the currents are coming
laden with wrecks and sluggish with
disgust and disappointment. The boom
ers have not met the realization of their
hopes, and they are only too glad to get
back home.
Of course, this is an unusual case OF
Western exaggeration. but it is a useful
illustration and It's lesson is impressive.
Many men have gone West from Mary
land and achieved success. One Of
them was in Baltimore recently. and
he gave this interesting bit Of testi-
mony: ooh, yes, | have made some
money, but | would have made lust as
much if had worked as hard and
saved as carefully in Maryland. The
good that the West did me was to make
me work" That is text for any
young man in Maryland who com
plains that there are no opportunities
for his services.
The truth of the matter is that Mary.
lands annual productive wealth can be
made twice what it is There are thou.
sands of acres Of good land that can be
had at reasonable prices No place i.
more abundantly blessed with natural
resources No State has better markets
Nowhere is there a more desirable peo.
pie. More work and less croaking will
be good thing for everybody.

word failure, as used needs qualiica-

in her trial trips were too trivial to be
seriouly considered; yet the vessel wa.
condemned in the most partisan spirit as
an i'll designed aud miscalculated failure.
The Atlanta was dealt with equally I'M
fairly; and the contractor, who had not
designed either ship but had faithfully
built both under rigorous Government
inspection from the Departments own
designs, was bounded into bankruptcy

JOHN wANAMAkeR,s KITCHEN.

II In an Appetizer. and IL Especially
Noted for Fine Mince Pies.
John Wanamaker has one OF the
biggest kitchens in the world. II is
in the basement of his Philadelphia
store, where no rats are tolerated and
no dampness is permitted to penetr..te.
Wanamaker takes great pride in this
kitchen, as he does In everything con-
nected with his store. Often he goes
down to the big steam cooking pans,
lifts the lid, tastes the soup, peeps at
boiling potatoes, or inspects the little
porcelain pan in which the charlotte
russo is served. Wanamaker is noted
for his rich charlotte russo, and the
delicacy is made from a recipe fur-
nished the chief cook by Wanamaker
himself. Wanamaker likes to take
visitors through his kitchen and ask
them TO sample the food In all It's
stages Of preparation. His IS one OF
the few great kitchens in the world
which a man may 60 through ana
come out with q good appette.
Wanamaker's kitchen is actually an
appetizer. The great merchant is
never so happy as when running a
knife into the Lancaster county but
ter and passing il around for visitors
10 taste. In Wanamaker's restaurant
from 1000 10 5000 persons are fed
every day, and Wanamaker is not too
proud 10 lunch In his own shop. In
summer he makes and sells there 5000
quarts of ice cream daily, and in oys.
ter season fries $4,000 oysters. Wanna
maker knows his trade and caters to II
as carefully as an apple woman on the
street corner. That Is the way he be-
came rich.
An instance Of this is 10 be found in
the orders he once gave his restaurant
manager about mince pies. Have
only the best mincc pies that money
will buy" he said, ''even IL you have
10 sell at loss. l can afford 10 sink
1900 year in mince pies rather
han have people say do nct give
them good pies. The people OF Phila-
delphia can't be fooled ON lnince pies. "
Neither can Wanamal<cr, and with his
usual carefulnezs In seeing that au hip
