The Washington Star in discussing the
November elections says of the Maryland
situation Another state with an lni-
portant election is Maryland. A Cover
nor is to be chosen and Legislature to
choose a successor to Senator McSomas.
MARYLAND is one of the border states where
the tide of political fortune GIBBS and
flows. Mr.. German is national figure.
Today he dominates, without question,
democratic politics in the state. But on
national issues he has not been able to
swing the state. There are two sections
in Maryland-the Eastern Shore, which
is an agricultural region controlled by old
aristocratic notions of family and birth,
and the western section, which is largely
industrial. In the last five years that
region has been filling up with factory
population from the North, who have
gone in to develop its iron, petroleum and
lumber resources. To these Mr.. McComas
is appealing; he points to the Dingley
tariff as the handmaiden of prosperity.
The state will be very close, with chances
favoring the democrats.

Judge Gray On Arbitration.

Judge Gray, who since his work on the
anthracite coal strike commission has
served in similar capacity on commits
sion called for the purpose of settlement
of the bituminous coal strike in Alabama,
gives expression to the following views on
arbitration as a means of settling disputes
between capital and labor:
81 believe that we will find solution
of the question involved in this struggle
between capital and labor. We will solve
it in our own way, along lines of human
ity and common sense. But it will take
long time. Habit changes slowly when
the change is real and permanent. We
have got to have soule system of arbitra-
ton to avoid the settlement of questions
by force in civilized safes If new labor
is used to displace the old labor, and a
settlement is effected only by the use OF
thepolice, the question is whether we have
not purchased peace at too great price;
and / think that employers are coming
and will cone TO see that they will have
more advantage i'll a peaceful settlement
with the old and accustomed labor than
by rudely settling dispute by bringing
in new labor at lower wages or altered
conditions.
1T seems to me that the problem will
work out in the recognition by employers
and employees that when they come to a
disagreement involving the extremity of a
suspension of work, they can be better
satisfied by referring it to meu-that is, to
impartial citizens, who will reflect the
common sense of the community. My
opinion is that labor unions have come to
stay. the tendency of organized labor is
to bring better men to the front. dare
not hope that there will not be serious
labor troubles in the future, but l feel
that there will be betterment of con,
dition, and that arbitration will tend to
bring capital and labor closer together

ANOTHER pANACEA
In PROPOSED
Organized Effort Being Made to
Abolish Interest,

The latest champion 20 enter the
field TO fight the trusts, the monoplies
and the concentration of capital in
general is the Antiusury league, and
by usury its promoters mean interest |
or any increase of capital for use
over and above its preservation in
tact They claim that increase is
forbidden in the Scriptures, has no
ethical basis and is contrary 30 sound
economic laws. They insist that in.
telligent vital energy alone produces
wealth; that the term productive
capital is missioner, and that cap
ital cannot even preserve itself and
must be cared for and protected.
The eaguers hold that paying in
terest is serving property and is
not different from the idoater who
worships what his own fingers have
made, the work Of another fingers
being no better than your own. They
put up the theory that taking inter
est has always been the sin of the
heather and the Hebrew, but has
only been an open and spectable
custom in Christendom since about
1892. They hold this custom reponsi-
bic for producing the broad distance
now recognized between labor and
capital, piIing up the vast fortunes
aud expressing the poor.
Usury is, they claim, responsible
for the debt habit, and they'insis'
that if no interest could be paid there
would be no private, incorporat,
municipal or national debt; that thu
race would be free from the DONNA
ton of material wealth and tina
wealth would be servant and no
the master.
They further claim that it is mimi
cal to our publican institutions
which require the approximate equal
lily OF our people in virtue, in intelli
gence and in wealth, and that tits
hiudrance to the development of th
independent, self reliant manhoo
necessary in a good citizen of 1T
a public.

creditable representation Of Nevada
at the great fair have invariably met
with enthusiastic encouragement. As
a consequence, it is safe to predict
that the varied industries of no state
will be more strikingly displayed
than those of Nevada.
The railroads, which are not won't
to make concessions, have come to
the front and rendered their assist
ance. They have agreed to haul to
Carson City, without any charge
whatever, exhibits from all over the
state intended for the ST Louis ex-
position. At Carson, these exhibits
will be carefully marked and class
flied before Shipping to ST. Louis,
but they must be catalogued, of
course, after they have reached the
Worlds Fair city.
