EngIand,s New sword.

That the rifle is mightier than the
sword Is an uncontrovertible TACT; but
that the sword will be finally sheathed as
an unusable weapon in modern war Is
not true, despite the endeavor of the pen
to prove the worthlessness of it.
AS shock weapon the SWORD holds no
place with the lance, but its hardness in
pursuit is undeniable if the sword be of
the right kind. In South Africa our
weapons. made ostensibly to cut. were
used by our troopers to belabor fugitive
Beers in vain efforts to make a cut. and
so bruised have some been with the pro-
cess that fiagellation would appear to be
the proper term to apply.
Recognizing this, the War Office is go
ing to arm the hussars with a new sword,
whose chief use will be to thrust
The edge of a sword cannot be main
tanned upon prolonged service, but Major
General Grant, the inspector general of
cavalry. in recommending a new sword,
suggests the preservation of a certain de-
gree of sharpness by the use of leather
scabbards.
The new sword will be modelled on the
pattern now in use, which was introduced
in 1899: but with certain notifications,
conforming with the Italian school. The
hilt will be broader, to give freedom in the
thrust and the point will taper more.

THE BOYS CONFERENCE.

We have welcomed the coming, and
today we speed the departing guests
the boys OF the Young Mems Christian
Association who have tarried with us for
the past three days. The boys came.
they saw the city, and they conquered our
hearts; for who is it that does not love
the American boy, with all his mischief,
and the possibilities for goodness and
greatness. The meetings held during
the Interstate Conference were profta-
bic of much good, and it is hoped the
Annapolis boys may feel the influence
for days and months to come. Heart
to heart talks we're given by Christian
men, and even by boys. There was
no sensationalism, no excitement during
the meetings of the conference, but they
were solemn and impressive. and mani
tested deep religious feeling throughout.
Such conference leaves its impress on
the hearts and minds of Christian peo-
pie, and it is hoped great good may come
oft. Our boys of today are our men of
tomorrow. 1t is the boys who need our
fostering care, our religious training our
wholesome home influence. Carefully
train the boys and the men will be man.
ly, noble and Christlike. We are glad
the Interstate Conference was held here
and we trust to welcome it again.

READY FOR THE OONTRsT.

Both parties having announced that the
campaign virtually closed on Saturday
night. they are now ready to enter upon
the battle OF the ballots tomorrow for SUI
premacy of the State. A more determ-
ined political contest has not been waged
in this State for many years, and the re-
suit whichever way it may so, will mean
much for the winning party The sue
cess Of the Democrats means the restora-
ton OF ex-senator German to power in
the State and the endorsement of Cover
nor Smiths administration, and the new
election law and all that it stands for.
The success of the Republicans will
mean the very opposite. Il is a day
when the people-the --voter-ha his
say and in exercising this right he should
consider we'll and vote conscientiously
for the men he believes will best repre-
sent the people, irrespective of party.
The Offices to be filed are all response
BILE, involving local and State affairs :
A State Comptroller, a clerk of the Count
OF Appeals. an Associate Judge of the
Fifth Judicial Circuit, four members of
the House OF Delegates, who will vote
for u. S. Senator to succeed George L.
Wellington, republican; seven county
commissioners, who win have the levying
and disbursement of all moneys for coun-
~ expenses; one county treasurer and
collector OF taxes, and one county sur
veyor. The voter must decide tomor-
row by his ballot what party shall con-
troll these affairs of state and county,
and il is of the utmost importance that
they should select well. Every instruc-
ton has been given the voter how to
vote the new ballot, and it will require
more or less intelligence to vote it cor
reetly. 1t is calculated to confuse even
the intelligent voter, unless he is calm
and collected. not to mention the ilhterate
voter-therefore it will require careful
ness in marking the ballot correctly.
