Taken at the appearance of the

uIThe policy of protection to Ameri-
can industries, to American capital
lists and workingmen in itsentirety may
sometimes have an ugly look to some
persons. Bricks, however, cannot be
taken out of an arch without making
the arch unsafe. Protection as a gov
eminent policy is an arch. Deep chan
nels in the lakes and good harbors be-
long to the policy Of protection as much
as do tariff duties on iron and steel.
Subsidies to ocean ships mean protec-
ton to an infant industry, and the
promotion OF that industry to point
where it can do a large and profitable
business.-Cleveland Leader.

A number having spoken to us about
how Easter Sunday IS determined upon,
we have taken the trouble to look i. up
and find to understand it thoroughly
one must have a pretty thorough know
ledge Of Astronomy. The following
however is a pretty fair and correct rule
to go'by. In order to find the time of
Easter for any given year, we should
calculate the exact time of the new moon
in that year for March, and try whether
the l4th day Of that moon (the day of
New Moon itself being counted the first
day. would fall not earlier than the 2lst.
in which case the Sunday following the
l4th day (of the New Moon of March)
would be Easter. But il this 14th day
falls earlier than the 2lst of March, we
should conclude that the New Moon of
April should be tried. 1t must be re-
membered however that this will not al
ways be true, because the Astronomical
time of the New Moonis not the same
in the different longitudes.

We wonder how many of our readers
actually realize the present condition of
the trade Of this country. From an ar
ticle in the March number of the North
American Review we CLEAN the following.
The balance Of trade between this
country and the world represents the
surplus reserve of the United States. It
is the difference between our imports
and our exports. between what we buy
and what we sell. Since June GO:h, 1878.
the balance Of trade has been in our
favor each year, with the exception Of
four years. In 1878, when the balance
OF trade was Sl19O0O0 600, against US. we
had the great panic In 1875 we bought
s19.00O,O0O more than we sold. In 1883
it was S23 100000, in 1889 s3,O00,OOO and
in 1893, Sl8,0OO,O0O. In other words. we
spent abroad in those years more than
we made at home.
The hopefulness of Our present bust
ness situation is clearly manifested when
we see by the U. S. Treasury reports
that for the year 1909, there was net
balance on the worlds books of $780,
0C0.O00 in our favor. We sold nearly
S2,O00.0Q0 worth Gay more that we
bought.
No wonder that Europe is alarmed;
that the London Times says it is ques-
ton OF paramount INTEREST,"" while one
German writer proposesSan Economical
alliance against the United States.
Lord Roseberry stated tho English
view in a speech given before the VOL
verton Chamber of Commerce short
time ago. He said: "The war fear is
not military war, but the war Of trade
which / see clearly is upon us. cannot
blind my eyes to the fact that so far as
we can predict anything Of the Goth cen.
| tury on which we have now entered it
will be one Of acutest international con-
fict in point Of trade. There. are two
| nations which are obviously our rivals
| and our opponents, in this commercial

have TO look for the sharpest conpeti,
stion America and Germany. The aler,
tness OF the Americans, their incalcul-
able natural resources, their acuteress
ard their increasing population will
mako them Formidable competitors with
ourselves.
Last year Europe bought of US one
billion, one hundred and eleven million
dollars worth. Of goods. During the
same period we bought Of Europe only
four hundred and thirty,nine millions
This gives us against Europe alone a
balance OF trade amounting TO S672, 900,
900. Thev bough ht from US two and a
half times as much as we bought from
them: For every dollar we invested in
] European productions they invested
/ over two dollars and half in American
| productions.
When VIC consides that our manufac-
lures for the foreiga trade are only in
their infancy.it must require hardy
prophet indeed to predict what the fu-
ture condition will be. Certain it is, we
will not retrograde for four more years
4 at least.

COLONEL TowNsEND's GOOSE

Friends Of Col. Theodore Townsend.
commanding the First Delay are Regi-
ment, are telling good story on him.
Some time ago the Colonel, who is fond
of goose, ordered bird from a farmer
near Milford and then invited former
Governor William T. Watson to dine
with him. The goose arrived and was
duly cooked. Former Governor Watson
failed to arrive, as he was called away
from Milford on business, but the Colonel
had the goose He tried in vain to carve
it, and after struggling for some time
presented it to a colored woman wLo
keeps clearinghouse. The goose lasted
three weeks.
The Colonel determined to find out if
possible how old the bird really was. He
inquired from the man who sold it ard
found he had owned it for fifteen years.
He had gotten the bird from his mother
in-law. Colonel Townsend drove several
miles to see the woman who first owned
the goose. She stated that the goose was
over fifteen years old when she gave it to
the man who sold it. The goose was
therefore thirty years old when it came
upon Colonel Townsend's table .-Morning

FOR the next year very similar list is
seen' Criminals stealing one, five and
seven dollars were all whipped with
many lashes, and some were exposed in
the plIlory. For the current year the re-
cora Is quite the same, and yet the whip
ping post is kept busy and certain pub
tic Is entt rt;i ii. If an important
crime shon'. ie committed, no greater
punishment be administered for the Iashes
are limited to forty-five and the pillory to
a few houIs.
! Ihere seems to be no public concep-
ton OF this incongruity, although the
stranger is quickly astonished by it. Any
one convicted of one of these offenses, in
petty or great degree, and either publicly
plllored or whipped is forever disfran-
chlsed and can no longer exercise the
privilege Of a citizen. Thus a youth
caught in some early and thoughtless Of
tense is permanently ruined in reputation
and practically driven from the State.
1t is generally declared by those in au-
thority through the State that the law is
Justifiable because it reaches and controls
the negro.
" Ninety per cent of the cases so dis
posed Of said the sheriff of one county,
are those involving negroes. II is the
only way we have of reaching them.'
Upon examination, this statement
turned out to be only partially true, for
negroes form less than seventy per cent.
OF the total number of cases so punished.
There had been several instances in which
white men standing fairly well in the
community, have been caught in the
tolls of the law, and finding themselves
doomed to be whipped, have offered all
their possessions, together with promise |
to leave the State, if they could but be
saved this wretched indignity. When ig-
nored, they seemed to have considered |
their life blasted and have departed,
never to return. Such men have paid a |
thousand times the penalty primarily |
to exist in fifteen or forty ]
public lashes. The case-hardened negro,
'r habitual criminal of any color, knows
10 such torment, and, comparatively,
nay be said to have received no punish
nent at all. 1t is the man with con-
cience and feeling upon whom this relic
# an older order of civilization weighs
njustly. The hardened criminal whom
is supposed to reach does not suffer at
Il, and is not corrected thereby"
The article is illustrated, one of the
ictures being labeled with sentence de-
cribing the location of the northern
host whipping post in the State as
hester. The fact that Chester is in
ennsylvania was evidently unknown to
ne author.

CHEsTERTowN's PRODIGY

Helen, the 5-yeaF-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry L. Boyd, of Chestertown,
is truly musical prodigy. She is afflicted
in one limb, yet pumps the organ with
the other with seeming ease. Little
Helen, from the time she could reach the
keys of the organ, showed fondness for
music, and when A years old could play
a simple tune. AS she moved about town
and heard the boys whistling the coon
songs she began to play them on the
organ; then she went to church and
would return to reproduce the hymns
that struck her fancy. She can play the
''Holy City," "Blue and Gray" and all
the popular songs of the day, with the
skill of musician She is a modest little
blue eyed beauty, and requires consider
able persuasion from those she does not
know before she will play for them, but
when alone she makes the house reverber-
ate with her playing. 1t is quite evident
that Helen gets her musical talent from
her mother, who is among Chestertown's
best singers and lover of good music.
Little Helen will be given a musical
training. Neus.
