According to the protective theory the
imposition of a tax on noncompeting
articles adds to their cost to the con-
sumner. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplified in the proposed duties ON

to pay more for their footwear. 1t is es-
timated that the increased cost Of boots
and shoes for one year under the pro-
posed duty would amount to $50, 600,

of leather goods have been able to build

Maryland Boundary.

A step is about to be taken by
the Maryland State Government,
looking to the settlement of the
boundary dispute between this
Commonwealth and West Virginia.
According to the terms of the
original grant of land made by
Lord Fairfax to Lord Baltimore, it
was decreed that the western boun-
dairy of the territory should be a
"meriden line running from the
fortieth parallel of north latitude
through the first or most distant
fountain of the Potomac.
Owing to the lack of exploration
and to imperfect knowledge of the
country, the survey made in 1746
established the boundary through
the sources of the shorter branch of
the Potomac. Afterward the mis-
take was discovered, but it was not
corrected until 1859.
Since then, however, the question
has since been under dispute, West
Virginia laying claim to the shorter
or more easterly boundary. About
5000 acres of land is involved in
the contention, and the case is be-
ing prepared for adjudication by
the court of last resort.
Few that have investigated the
facts have any doubt about the re-
suit. MARYLAND is regarded as hav-
ing clear right to the territory in
dispute, and it is expected that a
considerable tract of land now
claimed by West Virginia will be
added to Garrett county when the
hnai decision is reached. Mail.

Patriotic American Women.

The glorious Fourth has come
and gone, aud everybody has recall
led the days of '76, when our Illus
trous forefathers did such deeds of
heroism. 1t il quite in order to re-
member that our fcremothers did
their full share where the glory of
the nation was concerned. The
men drew up and signed the Decla-
ration of course; that was their es-
pecial work, but their wives and
mothers and sisters and sweethearts
helped them in such fashion that
they could not have succeeded with
out the timely help that always
came from home in the hour of
need.
John Adams admits over and over
again that he would have gone as
tray many time without the adj
vice of AbigaiPs clear, strong BRAN,
and we ali know the stories of bra
very and patience that those old
time heroines lived out for our ben
eft.
When the first storm was over,
and the national flag was adopted,
they say the first time the red,
white and blue was foated it was
made of a woman's red flannel skirt,
a mans blue shirt and bit of white
from somewhere. Betsey Ross made
the first flag, as everybody knows,
and cut out the patterns for the new
stars.
Later on, in 1914, when the Brit
ish attacked Washington, it was
Dolly Madison, the Presidents wife,
who stood by the Capitol until the
last, who saved the State papers,
and who ran back at the risk of her
life TO secure the "Declaration" and
bear it away in triumph.
In the Mexican war one of the
most prominent features was the
presence Of the "Mexic Women"
and Whittier never wrote more
beautiful thing than the closing
verses of 1.-The Angels of Buena
Vista -
"But the noble MexIc women still their holy
Through that long. dark night OF sorrow, worn
and faint, and lacking food.
Over weak and suffering brothers with tender
care they hung,
And the dying fOeman blessed them in a

BY and by, when we had settled
foreign disturbances and entered
upon the Civil War, the dominant
note that sounded the loudest alarm
against slavery was Mrs. Stoves
"Uncle Toms Cabin" The actu-
al legend of Barbara Fritchie may
be mythical, but her spirit was ev.
erywhere during those four sad
years of struggle. Many songs
were sung about the war, but none
are finer than Mrs. Howe's tBattle
Hymn Of the Republic"

works aud festivities of all kinds,
but it is worth staying a moment
to realize that when the fury and
fanaticism was at its height over in
Armenia a little while ago, it was
an American woman who first went
to rescue and to help the innocent
amp suffering.
