The large frame structure formerly used
by the E. B. Mallory Canning Company of
Baltimore. and situated on the B. and O..
railroad tracks about a mile north of
Laurel, was completely destroyed by fire
shortly, before o'clock last night The
building has not been used for a number
OF years and has provided home for num-
bers of tramps on their way to and from
the sunny south. 1t is believed the blaze was
the result Of camp fire left by some of
these men, sparks from which were blown
against the sides of the building

BREAKFAST FOOD
FROM A FOOD EXPERT

Howard K. James OF San Francisco. Secretary
California Retail Grocers' and Merchants Asso-
ciation writes follows:
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Dec. 20, 1900.
THE MATTED CEREALS CO.
GENTLEMEN:-The truest thing in the adver-
tisements of Malt Breakfast Food which you have
published is that 1.-The Arm starts the goods and
quality does the rest,
Little children who tire Of everything in the
cereal line will take up this food and cling to it
with no desire for a change much longer than they
will any other food
1t is a fact that my own youngster. who has
passed by everything 1 have been able to find in
the market after a few days, has put the seal OF
his approval on Malt Breakfast Food to the extent
OF insisting upon having 1t three times per day
and this condition has existed now for over six
weeks. during which time question II day has
gone by without his having it for breakfast lunch
and supper.
For the old folks believe that this is the most
satisfactory thing the market today for weak
or tired stomachs and for that jaded feeling that
occasionally is ours at breakfast time.
Very truly yours,
HOWARD JAMES

PRESIDENT RoossyeLYs TRAITS.

The people of the nation are conscious
Of new force in the white house, as the
result of recent events, but they have
not yet made up their minds fully as to
what Roosevelt's leading traits are or
will be in the future as president. They
have learned to esteem him in other
roles as soldier and patriot, and as a
resolute, honest and fearless, public
servant. They have an impression, also,
that he Is hasty and impetuous. and yet
they have seen nothing TO warrant Sc
we're criticism in this respect. AS to this
trait, the estimate Of his character in a
recent number Of the Forum by A. Maui
rice Low is recalled. Nh. Low noticed
that ''the man of action, the man who
does things rather than talk about
:hem: who has courage, determination,
and that t,anacity of purpose which Is a
more valuable quality thsin genius; and,
above all, who has character, who cree
ates an ideal and clings to it-such a
man is generally set down by his fell
lows as being impetuous, hasty, ILL
balanced, intractable, IL short, dam
gerous man to place in position of re-
sponsibility, because he Is usually mis-
understood. He explains, that under
analysis the accusation resolves itself
into this: that when he has considered it
necessary to correct an abuse, when as a
public officer. having duty to perform,
he has deemed it essential to fight, he
has never hesitated about taking the
offensive. But he has always fought
fairly, Taking this as a basis, as show
ing that his impetuosit:y is of the best
character, one may stucy recent events
in proof ef this estimate of Roosevelt's
actions
The country was moving along PROS
perously and happily Under President
Mckinley, and when Roosevelt sue
ceeded him there was doubt until he de-
clared that McKinley's policies were his
policies, and then the nations good will
and confidence were won over. It has
faith in him and believes, he will do what
is right. Yet events have happened that
would probably have taken a different
turn under the older ind more diplo-
natic chief, tho none of these events
have warranted the belief that any of
the new presidents acts are OF the i'm
pulsiye Bind that stamp him as an UNI
reliable or unsafe mar. It is believed
that when the country becomes more
fully acquainted with him it will
learn to esteem him for the soiidity of
character, and sound Judgement he is
known t, possess.

HOLIDAY CHEER.

There.is no disposition among the peo-
pie to dismiss holiday cheeriness by the
mere celebration Of Christmas. It is
still the subject Of comment everywhere
that holiday expressions Of good will in
gifts have been fully in harmony with
all other record breaking efforts. Ac-
cording to one Of the weekly commercial
reviews, If any evidence were needed OF
the unparalleled prosperity Of the nation
during the present year, the expendi-
lures for Christmas gifts and decora-
tlons should be ample. 1t is asserted
that the distribution of Christmas gifts
among the employees Of large firms and
corporations were on an immense scale,
IN many cases the Increase over last
year amounting to 100 per cent, while
the profit sharing at the end OF the year
will reach unprecedented figures. Bene-
factions to the poor and needy have also
been of the same great and generous
proportions. The very rich have been
equally liberal, Will tAS AAiooe oSsNSH~~S>-
givers among the middle classes. This
is what has come to public notice. and it
10 presumed that the quiet and unosten-
tatious giving swelled the volume into q
larger stream.
Some Of the pessimistic may be In
ciined to say that many OF the gifts be-
trayed extravagance. Perhaps they did
IN individual instances, and yet not an
article was bought or sold that did not
benefit some one--the workman who
made it or the merchant who sold it.
swelling the volume OF trade and in
creasing the circulation Of money, as
well as stimulating the effort OF the
liberal buyer to meet his obligations.
And then, after all, we may all fall back
upon the well worn coupiet. christmas
comes but once q year" etc.
The continuation of holiday cheer
means seasonable celebrations OF the
old and new year. and in the present
case involves a rory outlook for 1902.

VALUE OF THe PHILIPPINES.

Whether the United States retains
permanently or relinquishes the Philip
pine islands some time In the future.
every fair-mindet and unbiased observ-
er must concede that we are doing a
good work In establishing more stable
government, diffusing education and de-
yeloping the islandD In an economic way.
The men at the head Of the Taft COM
mission are broad minded, humane and
sincere workers for the betterment Of
conditions.
The islands are valuable merely in a
material sense, and will grow more SO
as time passes and the good work pro-
crosses.
To show what is comprised in these
possessions and what is being at
tempted 1t may be stated that our ma
ton secured 100000 acres Of land. all
of which except 100000 acres becomes
government property, secured by an ex.
penitture OF $20.0oO,0oo and part of the
cost Of the Spanish war. Under Gov
ernor Taft and his associates, we have
established supreme and lower courts
and police and constabulary force OF
5000; we have Increased the treasury re-
ceipts and decreased the expenditures;
we have enrolled 10000 children In the
public schools.
Under the able superintendency Of Dr.
Fred W. Atkinson over all the educa-
tional work. we have set to work 1,00t
American and nearly 1000 native schoo

4 VERY RALl,Y LAW.

Yesterdays news dispatches told OF the
voluntary retirement of bank note cir-
culation by one of Chicago's great ma
tional banks. At time when the f1nan-
cial reporters were telling OF money
stringen,y IN both New York and Chica-
90 this great bank retires from circula-
ton 100000 of its bark notes, and the
news Is given publicity that similar re-
quests from other national banks are on
file for the retirement Of goo of
bank note currency in January. This
singular performance is due to the high
price Of government bonds and the at
tendant expense of maintaining bank
note currency which makes 1t more
profitable for these banks to take their
profits by selling their bonds at the
market premium and retiring their bank
notes to the minimum Of $4,000 re-
CURED by law than to maintain the
notes In circulation ts the law intend-
ed.
II airy object lesson were needed to
point cut the inadequacy of our present
banking laws this should suffice. Here
are the national banks Which should be
issuing their currency to meet spasmod-
ic demands OF busir ess, voluntarily re-
firing the same in the face of what Is
known in finance as tight money mar
ket. The expense OF maintaining bank
note currency with government bonds
at high premium Is so great as to
drive the bank notes into retirement at
the very time they are needed by an
expanding volume Of business.
Under the amendments proposed by
Secretary Gage and urged several years
ago at the indianapolis monetary con-
ference many of the present restrictions
upon bank notes would be removed so
that 1t would become sufficiently pro1t-
! able for banks to issue their notes when
needed. There exists popular preju-
dice against any movement for freer
banking because of the experience of
the last generation, with wildcat bank
currency However, there is a system
Of safe banking in operation in Scot
land and Canada today that provides
an elastic bank note currency, every
dollar Of which is as safe and as good
as a government rote, and vastly more
convenient. for the reason that the law
is so arranged that banks are eager to
Iretirs their notes when interest rates

Oskaloosa Herald: The men who know
it all arc now saying that Governor
Shaw is being urged to accept the cabi-
net portfolio to clear the deck for Dol
liver in the senatorial race, and to shoe
him off the presidential band wagon in
1901. The people who konw him best
however, recognize his excellent quail
fications for the place, and place the
credit where 1t belongs, in the eminent
ability of model citizen and brilliant
financier.
1T has been repeatedly affirmed in
these columns that Governor Shaw is
the smartest man in Iowa politics. The
point may now be regarded as definitely
settled" This is the way the democratic
Dubuque Telegraph puts 1t.
In congratulating the governor on his
new position, the Jefferson Bee notices
that 1t was evidently wise man who
said Keep your eye on Shaw"
The Algona Upper Des Moines de-
c!ares that Governor Shaw is easily
equal to Secretary Gage In ability. and
will be a most valuable advisor in the
cabinet"
The Waterloo Courier believes that
under the administration Of Governor
Shaw the treasury department. will be
handled with clear mind and cool
head"
"Iowa's cheap coal is one Of the states
great elements OF the future" says the
Iowa Falls Sentinel.
Referring to proposed changes In the
mulct law, the Northwood Anchor is of
the opinion that majority rule Is usu-
ally considered pretty nearly right, and
1t would seem only fair to let the senti-
ment of the majority control the LIQUOR
traffic"
In the Judgment of the Nevada Repre-
sentative Governor Shaw is without
disparagement the brightest public man
in Iowa; and he has exceptional quallfi-
cations, surpassed by none in the west,
for head of the treasury department.
His appointment will cement itself to
the nation"
