Plan to Throw Roosevelt.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 26.-Events of
the last 60 hours in Indiana politics make
it extremely likely that President Roose-
welt will be opposed bitterly by the old-line
Mckinley Republicans. Among the fore
most Republicans of this State there is no
concealment of the desire to ''throw Roose-
welt"
Letters from New York, names of the
writer's of which are not given out, declare
that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot secure the full
support of New York Republicans; that
business men of New York are opposed to
his nomination, and that conditions demand
the nomination of strong man of the Nc
Kinley type.
When asked about Senator Fairbanks
for second place on the ticket Indiana Re-
publicans answer, Fairbanks is too big
for the second place with Roosevelt. "
Underneath all this is the evidence OF an
extensive plan to oppose Roosevelt, the
ramifcations of which have extended
throughout Ohio, New York, Illinois and
Iowa. In this State the followers of Mr..
Fairbanks have so far kept their emit
Roosevelt guns silent, but their miners and
sappers have been tunneling night and day
to undermine Mr.. Roosevelt.
Governor Durbin, who recently went to
Washington and bluntly asked Mr.. Fair
banks where he stood in reference to the
Vice Presidency, is known to be an out
and Roosevelt man. 1t is pretty we'll
established that he now recognizes there is
fight of serious proportions against the
President. All the leading Fairbanks men
say they doubt whether the party can elect
Mr.. Roosevelt if he is nominated. Few
of them will yet come out in the open.
Judge Hiram Brownlee, of Marion, who is
regular of regulars and closely associated
with the machine, boldly proclaims himself
ssfor Mark for President
The State is being flooded with anti
Roosevelt literature, and movement is
now on to postpone the meeting of the Re-
publican State Committee until Chairman
Goodrich has had chance to meet the
members of the National Committee in
Washington on December IL.

Favor Compulsory Educational
Laws.

At the quarterly meeting of the Maryland
State Board of Education, held November %
at the State Normal School. Carrollton and
Lafayette avenues, a resolution was adopted
declaring for the establishment OF compui-
sorry education law for primary school work.
1t was decided to take steps to have a bill to
that effect properly presented, and II possible
passed, at the next legislature.
The resolution was the result OF the d1ilo,
erations of a committee of the State Board OF
Education, composed of President E. Bar
rett Prettyman, of the State Normal School,
and Mr.. E. Stanley Gary and State Superln-
tendent of Education Stevens, appointed TO
investigate the subject of primary compul-
sorry education. The resolution adopted is as
follows:
Iris resolved by the State Board of Educa,.
ton of Maryland that it is heartily in favor OF
compulsory education through the primary
form of our public schools for the entire State.
All children between the ages of and II
years, of healthy mind and body, should be
required to go to school,. Realizing the IN
creased cost to the COMMITTEES to inaugurate this,
we believe the State should give such financial
aid to the counties as may be necessary TO es-
tablish such additional schools as may be re-
CURED. To this end the State Superintendent
is requested to formulate a law and submit the
same to special meeting of this board pre-
vions to the meeting of our next General AS
sembly for their approval.

Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER:
On the border land we left him,
Soon to meet and part no more.
He has crossed the shining river.
And has gained that radiant shore,
Where no heart with grief can CULVER,
And all parting scenes are DER.
Little we thought so sad a call,
Was about to come to our home;
Little we thought that our dear brother
Was soon to be placed IN the silent tomb.
No day will ever seem so sad
AS the day he passed away;
No words will ever seem to sweet
AS the words he used to say.
But brother, you are not forgotten,
Nor ever will you be;
For as long as life or memory last,
We will remember thee ny MS Sister

die of the field for downs, St. Johns kicked
to Western Maryland's 1O-yard line, where
the ball was fumbled. Captain Halbert pick
ed it up on dead run and scored the touch
down.
At only one other time was the Western
Maryland's goal in danger and then by sim
liar play, when st. Johns attempted a goal
from the field. St. Johns was constantly
held for downs, making first down only once.
The game for the most part was a muscle test
in mdfeld. The longest run was 80 yards,
