Supp ose you decided to buy
Piano. Where would you go to
ret it?
There is a very general idea that
prices on pianos are ex'ravagant-

strumcnt tout OF the question. To
be sure, thee is the other extreme
pianos very low in price and
tina, is all you know about them.
We thought over this matter for
:cveral years. and concluded that we
could be as helpful at piano selling
as with other II { ohandise - for
pianos, diamonds. silks and shoes
are merchandise after all.
We have experts in charge OF the
business, to select, 10 hep you =
proper selection as well. But right
down to the business OF it. YOU buy

Vose Panos are time-tried, too.
They've been friend-making since
1881. They cost less than the
Chickering-they magniicenily meet
many DEM nds.
We have self-playing instruments,
as well, and the Angelus-a con-
trivance that. pushed over the piano
keyboard, plays any music you put
into it. The music &C mes in rolls

to see for the almost-plaything Or

with precision. ard one can get al

isn't SO very cheap, but ii is fine.

That the next legislation of
Maryland will be composed Of
better qualified men than the
last is assured. One Republican
Legislature served To salty the
people with that party and they
have risen in their might against
such another representation
I'm the General Assembly. The
people appear To realize the in
ability of the Republican party
To furnish good men for the
Legislature and have turned to
the Democracy for good and
efficient reasons. Here they
find one and all in favor of good.
substantial and efficient legis-
lators. With one accord repre-
sentative men from all over the
state speak ont in the general
clamor for good Legislative
nominees. They say the best
qualified and most intelligent
men should be nominated. and
every indication is than none
but the best need apply. In
reference to this question the
Baltimore SIN of "Wednesday
says:
Several Democratic leaders
yesterday expressed themselves
as emphatically indorsing the
demand that good nominations
be made for the Legislature.
Among them were three avowed
candidates for the gubernator-
ial nomination.
Col. John Walter Smith said
he had plainly expressed his
views some time ago. at is of
the highest Importance that
excellent nominations be made
for the Legislature by our
party" he continued. There
are two reasons for this. Good
Legislative nominations will
help the general ticket to sue
cess. This will be true i'm Bal
timore city and i'm every county
of the State. But beyond this
consideration is the fact that
men of integrity, judgment,
ability and experience are
needed in our State halls of
Legislation. Important matters
will come before the next Legis-
lature, and men should be sent
there who are fully competent
to grapple with them i'm bus
inesslike and progressive man
ner.

Mr.. Edwin Warficld said
You cannot employ too en-
phatic language in expressing

lative nominations. The people
ought To feel that in voting for
their lawmakers they have ON
the ticket the names of men in
whose ability and integrity they
have every confidence. There
should be no standard of eX-
cellence except the highest. The
next Governor should realize
that he assumes the respon

CENSORSHIP PROTEST.

IHE UNJUST and dishonest
censorship of the Administers
ton over the Associated Press
dispatches has caused revolt
by the leading newspapers of
the country which bids fair To
reveal the true state of affairs
at Manila. That we have lost
many men and much prestige
and gained nothing as the re-
suit of the long continued war
there, is now a foregone con-
clusion. Notwithstanding the
administration reports To the
contrary.
This protest only confirms
what the opponents of the war
policy of the administration
have all along insisted was the
case. They have charged that
the news from Manila was
shamcfullv "doctored" by the
press censor, and that deliberate
attempts i'm this direction were
made for the purpose of keeping
the people of this country in
ignorance of the real truth of
the situation. In support of
this claim they printed extracts
from letters sent by soldiers 10
their friends at home. and the
statement of returning volun-
teers. The organ of Imperialism
made every attempt To discredit
the situation as thus presented
and now their own correspond
ents on the spot. by their manly
protest. compel them To eat their
words.

this disgraceful state of affairs
