Our Lands in Demaud.

The Baltimore He0rld says: Mary
land lands for farming are now attract
ing attention, as was sure to be the
case when their merits should become
fully known.
Western people who have settled
in the State in recent years are pleas
ed with the returns so far made, and
are inducing others from that quar-
ter to come East, The result is that
property in Southern Maryland in
particular is in demand. This is one
of the best sections of the State, but
the Eastern Shore and other parts
having been more literally advertised,
have been able to offer stronger in
ducements to outsiders. Western
farmers say the soil in Southern
Maryland is better than that in many
parts of the West, and that crops of
nearly all kinds can be grown here
at profit. Stock raising will be fol-
lowed and farming will be done on a
more diversified scale than hereto
fore. The Westerners appreciate es-
pecially the nearness to good mar
kets and the fact that salt water con-
tributes greatly to a good living.
Maryland welcomes all the wide
awake, up to-date farmers who want
to better their condition.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-04-09

equally successful and prosperous
and the state vastly wealthier. State
ments and the striking advertise
ments gotten up by and circulated in
the interest of railroads, real estate
and promoting companies, the in
ducements by way of free excursions,
entertainments and attentions shown
by local committees, we do not won
der that we lose so many of our young
people. Maryland should emulate
these wide awake, enterprising west
ern people. Fifty thousand dollars
spent in advertising our resources
would be the best investment she
could make. Let the world know the
beauties, blessings, advantages and
attractions of our great state. The
return would be an hundred fold to
the commonwealth. No state has
greater advantages, and we Mary
landCTs know it. 1t is to be feared we
are so well satisfied, so comfortable
and prosperous we fear to publish it
lest we be crowded. We must aban-
don those provincial ideas and meth
DDS and push our State up to her
proper place-the head of the column.
Recently the Baltimore san has
been publishing letters from various
sections of the state. They are read
with great interest and will greatly
benefit the communities spoken of.
The progress of our state is proved
to be steady and solid, her people in
telligent, thrifty, progressive and
prosperous.
The intelligent farmers and bright
business men of our county will see
and appreciate the fact that if I'VE
wish to attract desirable people land
capitol we must make some concerted
effort to secure the same. The inter
est of one is the interest of all. We
want more good people in Garrett
county. How can we secure them?

For some weeks past the question
whether or not Garrett county has a
State Senator has been freely discuss
ed and number of queries have been
directed to Senator Ravenscroft con-
corning the matter Last week there
was published in these columns a
communication from Capt. j. W.
White asking that the Senator define
his position.
In response to the queries and to
put at rest all future speculation in
this direction Senator Raeenscroft, in
the following communication, directs
attention to the clause of the consti-
tuition of the State governing such
matters:
Mr. Benz. II. SinceU, Oakland, Nd.
MY DEAR SIR:-As there has been
some doubt as to whether or not Gar
rett county has State Senator, and
several papers having made mention
of the fact, as well as directing the
query to me, l herewith enclose few
lines which hope you will do me the
favor to publish in this weeks issue
of your paper, and oblige.
Yours very truly,
X. A. RAVENSCROFT.

ians who were indicted for the muir
der of Walter Flanagan, at Independ-
ence, some time ago, and who have
been on trial in the Circuit,C Court at

as charged in the Indictment, the case
having closed Friday afternoon. The
death penalty which usually goes
with verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree, was not imposed on
the Italians, the jury haying COM
mended the prisoners to the mercy of

The garden seeds which were receiv-
ed at this office one day last week for
free distribution became exhausted
early Monday morning, since which
time we have received requests

Another consignment is expected at
an early date when we will fill the mail
requests and forward them at once.
A great many town folks have also
requested the seeds but they came too
late and were of course disappoint ed.

Letter to q. w. Fleming.

Dear Sir: You are interested in the
prosperity of your town, and every
dollar anybody saves adds to the
wealth of the place.
People can save half their money on
paint-more than half. Devoe Lead
and Zinc takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints to cover a house and
lasts twice or three times as long as
lead and oil.
Paint is saved; labor is saved; and
the painting nuisance" is made half
as frequent.
When Devoe Lead and Zinc is estab-
lished in Oakland, Oakland will get
more out of it than we shall.
Yours truly,
f. W. DEvoE g. Co.,

Embargo Placed On Drunks bvB.NO.

Embargo Placed On DRINKS by Ii. L. o.
Notice has been sent out from the
headquarters of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company at Baltimore, that
on and after April LIST intoxicated per-
sons will not be permitted to board
any train. Notice to this effect will be
posted at an early date, and it is said
that the new rule will be strictly en-
forced. For time there will no doubt
be a number of fellows left at the de-
pots along the line For some time
past the B. & o. company has been
waging war against the rowdyism on
the trains, and is believed to have
been very successful. The embargo
on the drunk is believed to be the final
act in the war, as the booze is about
the only thing that has ever raised a
disturbance on any train. The prac-
tice of drinking while on the train
will also be prohibited, as much as
possible. With these new rules in effect
the sending of policemen out on the
trains will not be so important, but
the presence at the depot to keep the
DRINKS off will be very necessary.

State School Apportionment.

For many years the counties of
Western Maryland and some other
sections of the State have been dis
satisfied with hemethod in which the
State has apportioned the..ssspublic
school tax. Efforts have been made
from time to time in State Teachers
Associations and in the meetings of
the State School Commissioners to
have these bodies declare against the
present method of apportionment,
and attempts have been made to get
the Legislature to change the method
by statute. All of the efforts and at
tempts failed. Finally Mr.. Robert
Shriver, a citizen of Allegany county,
appealed to the courts. The case
was inaugurated in the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundle county which
court decided in favor of the present
method of apportionment. An appeal
was taken to the Court of Appeals,
which, on Wednesday, handed down
an opinion affirming the decision of
the lower court.

The office being now vacant, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Constitution, the voters of the county
will be called upon at the election to
be held in November to choose a sue
cessor to Senator Ravenscroft. He
has ably and with honor represented

they entertain hopes Of selecting some
one who will faithfully and imparti-
ally defend their rights and credit
ably represent them as he has done.

ACCIDENT Md, April 6.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The question has been asked as to
whether or not there is a vacancy in
the office of State Senator from this
county. The Constitution of Mary
land, Article 3, Section 10, thoroughly
settles the matter and no one, after
reading said section, need be in any
doubt. The Section from the Article
reads as follows:
NO member of Congress, or person
holding any civil or military office
under the United States, shall be ell
igible as Senator or Delegate, and
If any person shall after his election
as Senator or Delegate be elected to
Congress, or be appointed to any
office, civil or military, under the
Government of the United States,
his acceptanc thereof shall vacate his
seat

THE ST. LOUIS
NOT SIGHTED
No Word Has Been Received
of the Overdue
Vessel.
WATER PIPES MAY LEAK
Names and Addresses of Some of
the Crew Given Out--Presi-
dent Griscom Not
Worried.

New York, Jan. 16.-Up to o'clock
this morning no news of the over due
American Liner st. Louis had been re-
ceived.
Vice President Wright of the Ameri-
can line, said: 1--WE have nothing to
add to the statement given out last
night, except that up to the present, we
are absolutely without word of the st.
Louis"
Clement A. Griscom Of the American
line, said today: "It has been said that
the st. Louis has leaky boilers. I do
not know that she has. There are
thousands of small tubes on which the
flames play to heat the water. If, as
sometimes happens, some of these tubes
| leak enough to damp the fire, it is nee
essary to plug them up. This does not
| mean that there is serious damage, but
| it does mean that you have less sur
face to heat the water and so less
steam. I do not think the st. Louis is
in trouble, but that She is not making
very fast time"
| At the American line office the home
| addresses of most of the important Of
fcers connected with the st. Louis We're
made public today. No comment was
| made on the giving out of the list. Cap
| tain Frederick Fl. Parrow is a native of
| Pennsylvania. His family lives in En-
gland. Chief Engineer F. M. Power is
from Germantown, Pa, and DR.. Lloyd
| Parker, the ships surgeon, from New
York. The chief engineer of the line
| refused the addresses of any of the
engineers staff except that of John
| Philip, whose family lives in South
| ampton, Eng. He said If the vessel
was not sighted by tomorrow the rest
of the addresses would be made public.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.
Washington, Jan. 16.-The interstate
commerce bill introduced by Senator
Elkins was again today the subject of
discussion by the committee on inter-
state commerce, but no conclusion was
reached. The meeting was brief and
developed such radical differences of
opinion that it was considered useless
to attempt, for the time, to proceed.
TREATY IS SATISFACTORY.
Washington, Jan. 16. = President
Roosevelt was assured today by Sena-
tors Aldrich, Lodge and Spooner of
their belief that the Cuban treaty
would be ratified by the senate. The
senators had conference with the
president prior to the cabinet meeting
and went over the situation carefully
1t was stated that the treaty, as amen
ded, was satisfactory practically to ev-
cry Republican senator and that the
opposition now was confined to the
Democratic side.
THE HOUSE.
| Washington, Jan. 16.-This being Fri
day, the regular order (the department
of commerce billy was displaced and
the house today proceeded to the con.
sideration of private claims bills.
