NEWS FROM BOYDS.

BOYDS, Md. Sept 21.-Tnere has been
some rumor that possibly the Metropol-
tan Southern Road, which was intended
to run from Linden on the Metropolitan
Branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio to
Georgetown. but was never finished, may
be completed ere long. so as to give the
people of Georgetown road which will
give them a good outlet for their bust
ness into this section of the state. and
the road undoubtedly would develop
other enterprises.
This road was built from Linden to
Chevy Chase. and is now operated to
haul coal TO the Chevy Chase Power
Company, and was built out OF George
town for some distance. These improve
ments. 1t is said, may precede those that
are now being made in Washington II
will be welcomed by the Georgetown
business men, as well as Montgomery
county people.

FAILURE PREDICTED
FOR NEW BEEF COMBINE
Washington Dealers Do Not
Believe 1t Can Succeed.
LACKS EXPERIENCE AND CASH
Prophesy 1t Will Be Crowded to Wall
by Packing Trust in Less Than
Two Months.

Local meat dealers scoff at tho West
ern cattle men who propose to build a
packing house of their own in competi-
tion with the great packers, such as
Armour and Swift. They say the Ma
tional Live Stock Association. the name
izing, will be pushed to the wall within
two months from the time it starts ac-
tive operations. The belief is based on
two things-the lack OF experience on
the part of the cattle men In any large
packing business. and the fact that a
capital of something like $4,000 coo
would have to be collected in order to
enter the field of competition with any
degree of hope for success.

To Make Competition.

better privileges can be obtained there

tary of the association, says the purpose

reasonable price for cattle. Mr.. Martin
seems to think the farmers need en-
couragement to continue In the cattle
business.

prices than they have had since the civil
war. not only for cattle, but also for
other farm produce
Public Not Benefited.
Even should the new association prove
a success. the general public would bene-
fit but little thereby, since the object Of
the association is to get the farmer
higher prices for his cattle rather than
TO make the prices charged the con-
sumer less than they are at present.

Might Prevent a Bad Marriage.

Beauty and health and womanliness,
lose none Of their potency from being
linked with intelligence and trained skill ;
and, il the woman holds her PERSONAL
Independence, she holds always certain
power over the Grant wings OF love, writes
Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Man does not soon tire OF what he does
not wholly own. No step In life Is more
important to personal happiness, or to the
progress of the race, than right marriage;
and no step is more uncertain. Our com
mon saying that "marriage is lottery
shows this.
Often and often, fine women draw
blanks by mating with inferior or evil
men; and. as often, fine men are united
with weak, silly, or vicious women. II
women were trained to professions, 1t
would better the chances OF marriage In
two ways: by improving the average In
women, and by enabling them to bear up
against the possible bad men.
The business sense gained In any kind
OF useful work In the world (work In the
home does not teach women business
sense-no, not In ten thousand yearsi)
makes a woman better able to Judge q
man before she marries him, and better
able to get on with him afterwards.
1t also and this, too, is important
makes her able to get on with herself and
the rest of the world.

A Plea for Parent Culture.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, In a recent
lecture before the Mothers and Fathers
club, in Boston, declared that families
should be small rather than large, taking
a view opposite to that of President
Roosevelt. She asserted that what is
needed most is "child culture.
"We need to listen more to talk about
the culture OF, fathers and mothers than
to that OF achild," she said. "There are
two mighty factors that enter into the
making OF individuals and nation.
These factors are heredity and environ
ment.
"There are men and women who are
unfit to be the parents of children and
with them we have to depend upon en-
vironment. In many cases it is better to
take children away from their natural
parents, so that they may have chance
to do better"
Mrs. Livermore said that the best
agency OF environment is the home.
"When child is put in good home,
he has taken the first step in higher
civilization. It would not be race suicide
IL we were to have homes into which only
two or three children were born, quality
and character slgnifying more than a

Pniifics in 0hia

"Will President Roosevelt be en-
dorsed by the Ohio state convention
for the nomination in 1904?n Is the
question Washington politicians are
discussing with unusual interest.
Senator Foraker has announced that
he will introduce in the convention a
resolution to that effect, and Senator
Hanna has announced that he will
oppose it.
Mr.. Hanna says tact it is too early
to adopt resolution concerning the
next national convention, and that a
mere expression of approval of the
present administration would be the
proper method of indorsing the Pres
ident. The recommendation of his
nomination for President, he main
tains, can be properly deferred to next
year, and he adds that such would be
the Presidents pleasure.
Present indications are, however,
that regardless of the wishes of MIR.
Hanna and those he attributes to the
President, the resolution will be
adopted. If it is, it will be a severe
blow to Mr.. Hanna's influence in Ohio
and will be the first victory of impor
tance in the contest which Mr.. Foraker
has long maintained against his col
league in the Senate.
That President Roosevelt will be
nominated and elected is the firm con-
viction of every republican in Wash
sngton and of those who, from time to
time, pass through that city. What
Senator Hanna's objection to the pro-
posed resolution can be is not known,
but there are two eonjectures set forth.
One is to the effect that Mr.. Hanna
has not yet determined that he will
not himself become candidate. The
other is that he believes that he will
be able to exercise greater influence
at the White House If Ohio has not
committed itself to the nomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The first of these Mr.. Hanna firmly
denies, but it is not likely that any one
will have the temerity to question him
regarding the second.
