A Diplomat From Maryland.

In these days when so many hasty
and even reckless assertions are made
respecting politics, and leading poll
ticians, it is good to meet a man
who speaks with caution. Take a
case: Colonel Baughman, of Mary
land, was in New York on Wednes-
day, and asked as to the political sit
uation at home, said in reply
1.-The Maryland Democratic State
committee will meet in Baltimore on
September 3, and Mr.. German, am
advised, will be a candidate for cleo
tion to the Senate
Mark the reference to Mr.. German,
and consider the man who made it.
Colonel Baughman is one of the lead
ing Democrats of Maryland, and one
of Mr.. Germans closest friends. He
knows, if anybody does, what is 60
ing on in Democratic circles, and he
has been particularly active this year.
He is working for Democratic sue
cess, and expects it. He was a prom
inent figure at the recent State con-
vention at Baltimore, and since then
has been busy looking after party
matters in his section of the State.
His presence in New York the other
day was for the purpose of meeting
Mr.. German and reporting on affairs
up to date. So that when the New
York reporter tackled Colonel Baugh-
man about Maryland politics he
tackled man who had information
to burn.
As to Mr.. Germans candidacy for
the Senate, that has been an open
secret for long time. In fact his
friends practically announced his
candidacy the day after it was defin-
itely known that a Republican would
succeed him in the Senate. He was
the leading man in his party in Mary
land then as he is now, and the issue
in Maryland this year is Mr. Germans
ambition to return to the forum
where for years he was a prominent
figure. He would not-probably from
recognizing the superfluousness of
such proceeding-permit the State
convention to instruct for him for the
Senate, but every man who is work
ing for Democratic success well I'M
derstands that if success is achieved
Mr.. German will be the chief bene-
ficiary.
Still, when Colonel Baughman, in
innate as he is with Mr.. German and
with all the details and purposes of
the present campaign, is Intercepted
as to matters at home he answers
somewhat guardedly. He does not
tell the reporter, as he might have
done, and as so many men would have
done, that Mr.. German is candidate
for the Senate, but that he is lad
vised that Mr.. German will be can
didate for the Senate" He gives the
impression of having received the in
formation in casual or roundabout
way, and as recognizing the necessity
of repeating it with care. 1t is nice
point, made in the colonel's own way,
and in this day of cocksureness and
overemphasis it cannot be too highly

The Country in Autumn,

The season is at hand when nature
may be enjoyed at her best in the
country. In this latitude the transi-
ton from summer to autumn and
from autumn to winter is so gradual
the seasonsmerge imperceptibly into
each other From now until nearly
Christmas good weather may be ex-
pected. More rain has fallen this
year since May than is usual, but of
all seasons, the autumn is the most
constant. The days are bright, pleas
antly warm in September and Octo-
Der, followed by cool nights, insuring
good rest.
Riding, driving and walking in the
country are most enjoyable in the
autumn. The season for hot, sticky
days and thunder storms is past;
the air is cool and bracing, and man
and beast take delight in living. The
changing colors of flowers and leaves,
the fine sunsets and beautiful moon

eye can sweep for miles with no rows
OF dwelling houses or tall skyscrapers
to arrest vision; the quiet that at
tends life in places remote from the
noise of the city-these and other
conditions, which the dwellers in
crowded centers can only feebly ap-
preciate, make living in the country
positive pleasure.
OF late years the preference for the
country, or at least combination of
city and rural life, has become mark
ed in American cities. The trend has
been toward the mountains and with

THE CAMPAIGN IS OPENED.
Republicans Fear More Democratic Tricks
Under Germans Leadership,

Republicans Fear More Democratic Tricks
Under GOrman's Leadership.
The Maryland Republicans have
opened the compaign, and the fight
against the German machine has
been renewed in earnest. German
has returned from New York, and
Monday met the chairmen of the
Democratic county committees in a
secret conference and instructed them
in methods of registration work and
plans for controlling the vote and
barring the colored man under the
new election law. The Republicans
suspect Democratic scheme of shut
ting out white as well as colored Re-
publicans from the registration lists.
Chairman Goldsborough of the
State committee has sent letter to
Governor Smith asking that copy
of the new State census list of 'regis-
tered voters not in precincts and of
"men not registered be furnished to
him. If the Democrats, who abso-
lutely control the German census
lists, furnish the above information,
the Republicans will look up the men
and see that they are registered.
Mr.. Goldsborough, in speaking of
the matter, said:
1.-The object of this letter is simply
this: believe the census was taken
for the benefit OF the whole people of
the State and l suppose Governor
Smith is interested in haying the
names of persons not entitled to be
registered stricken off the books and
the lists purged. Therefore, have
asked him to give US access to these
lists and presume he will do so. The
people of the State ought to have ac-
cess to the returns of the State
census
A leading Democrat, discussing Mr..
Goldsborough's letter to Governor
Smith, said that the Republican chair
man has overlooked the fact that the
papers are not the property Of Gov
ernor Smith, but belong to the Legis-
lature of Maryland and must be re-
turned to that body. The Governor
is only custodian until the General
Assembly shall meet, and that is the
body to which Mr.. Goldsborough
should apply for the information he
desires.
Republican State headquarters
were opened Monday, United States
Senator McComas will personally di-
rect the Republican campaign, and
Mr.. German will manage the Demo
cratic organization in the political
fight of his life.
Chairman Goldsborough has an
nounced the chairmen of the cam
paign committees, upon whom most
of the work will devolve, as follows:
Registration-Jas. E. McClelland.
Illiteracy-Wm. NJ. Stewart.
Naturalization-Chas. H. Roberts.
Meetings-William III. Byrne.
Special City Committee George F.
Jones.
These are all city committees, APP
pointed to work in the city only
The two State committee chairmen
are:
Illiteracy and Documents-John G.
Simmering, of Baltimore city.
Observation-Disclosures Householder
of Baltimore county.
Mr.. Goldsborough stated that each
committee would consist of about five
members, it being considered that
more effective work can be done with
a small force.

10 the Local Board Of Health.

~ LONA2 DUAL " Va nSd1llAs
For the past three years Maryland
has been constantly threatened with
serious invasion of smallpox. In that
time II out of the 90 counties of Mary
land have been invaded by smallpox.
There have been al outbreaks, and in
80 instances the disease was confined
to the house in which it was first dis
covered. The exact number of cases
which occurred in these Al outbreaks
is not known, but it is known that
the eleven instances in which the dis
ease was permitted to spread beyond
the house first infected gave rise to
more than three-fourths the total
number. In Baltimore city during
the same period the disease has in no
instance spread beyond the house
first infected.
During the three years there have
been in the counties over four times
as many cases of smallpox as in the
city of Baltimore. One county had
seventy odd cases of smallpox in one
year against Baltimore's IS cases in
three years. 1t cannot be said that
the State as a whole has done very
badly. A few of the county out
breaks have been as we'll handled as
those in Baltimore city. If we should
compare our records with those of
neighboring states we might plume
ourselves on the results of our efforts,
but the State has not done as well as
is easily possible, nor as well as pub
lie safety and business interests de-
mand.
The approaching winter promises a
wider prevalence of smallpox in the
United States than the country has
experienced in thirty years. All the
signs point that way, and it is there
fore important for all the local boards
of health to consider the prospect,
make sure of their defenses and pre-
pare in advance definite plan of ac-
ton. After invasion occurs it is not
easy to get land for an isolation
house, nor to make reasonable con-
tracts for medical attendance, nurs-
ing and supplies. Among the local
health officers there may be some who
have accepted office believing that
during their terms no smallpox would
appear. The contract with local Of
ficers does not include medical attend
ance on cases of smallpox, no local
board of health can expect its officer
to render such service unless he is
fairly paid. The local boards of
health have a right, however, to ex-
pect their medical officers to investi-
gate outbreaks of smallpox, and this
will include the visiting of infectious
cases whenever the matter of dag
nosis is in question. There will be no
room in Maryland this winter for
local officer who is unwilling to see
case of smallpox. The local boards
should come to a definite understand
ing with their executive officers on
these points. Vaccine physicians
should be instructed to visit the
schools on the opening day and vac
cinate all who need it. The school
boards should be advised that there
is urgent need of rigid enforcement of
the vaccination law so far as it relates
to school children.
To take counsel upon this subject
at the present time is but ordinary
prudence. To postpone considera-
ton until smallpox appears may
foolish, unreasonable alarm.
Yours very truly,
JOHN S. FULTON, Sec'y.

One Of the most inexcusable and
revolving practices allowed by the
police of this city is the joints at the
park, along the banks of Lake
Washington. We may say inexcus-
able because they are running in
open defiance Of law and with the
full knowledge Of the police. They
are revolving because they are not in
their detestible, unlawful avocation
for the purpose Of selling liquor
alone, but for the purpose Of running
the young men and girls who are
enticed into these hell holes. The
detectives know that thieves and
highwaymen congregate at these re-
sorts, but they are never molested.

The Bee-Nugget has not said very
much about the proposed direct pri-
mary law, because it is on record a
long time ago as favoring some such
measure. We hope a good bill of
the kind will pass the legislature and
become law. 1t will give Republi-
cans chance to express their pref
erence for candidates who wish to be
nominated for office and will result
in more Republicans being elected tc
office IN Lewis county than is pos
sible under the present system. 1t
will do away with the convention
manipulators and trading to a great
extent and men who are strongest
before the people will be selected as
party candidates-Bee-Nugget.
The primary law as proposed may
need few amendments, but wher-
ever it has been tried, it is a pro-
nOmced success. The present sys-
tenn of nominating candidates puts
the average self-respecting man out
of the field Of politics.
