The Press has no hesitaacy ia say
rug that jill lg Critz isat this time
far in the lead of his competitors.
and gaining strength every day The
statement that Judge Critz is far in
the lead will be borne out by facts.
The figures from estimates furnish
ed that Clitz has more counties sol
IDLY for him than either OF the other
two candidates, and and that his
scattering strength all over the state
is equal 70. IL not greater than thai
OF his rivals. Any ono who has stud
led the situation must agree to the
accuracy OF the statement. 1t is gen
orally thought in the hills that Var
daman is strongest in the delta coun
ties. Suc'l is not the case. He is real
" weaker there than any where else.
The Press is advised that present
| indications are that Critz VIII CARR
more delta counties than vardama1
The Press has not cha1gal It's opin

to b bstween Critz and Varlaman.
and since the last roview of the stu

Hazing at Annapolis.

Cadet Pearson is suffering at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis with broken Jaw the
result of fist fight with a cadet Iof a higher
class, because he declined to submit to further
indignities. commonly called 'hazing." Ca
Diet Pearson, it seems, did lot of things of
a more or less ridiculous character, but be-
cause he declined to go the full length of the
demands of his tormentors, he was invited to
fight. He agreed to do so, but he had to face
boy over year older, and of course got
worsted. A broken jaw is a matter of much
Inconvenience, as well as pain.
The brutality has the sanction of the Acad-
emy authorities, aud apparently of the Naval
Department, hence this protest There was
a time when United States Naval and Mill.
jary Officer almost invariably passed as
gentleman. 1t is not so now. Low practices,
as forms of hazing, are countenanced or over
looked at the Academy, and the standard of
cadets is lowered.
The cadets all become naval officers, and
are frequently charged with important and
delicate duties, requiring full knowledge of
international law and large amount of dis.
cretion-not brute force.
Since the Civil War it seems the standard of
army and naval affairs has deteriorated upon
the whole. This may be because of the en-
largement of Congress and the lowering of
the standard of that body and the consequent
lowering of the standard of the boys appointed
as cadets to West Point and Annapolis.

Wilcox Found Guilty.

The jury in the case of James Wilcox. ac.
cused of the murder of Ella Cropsey, at Hert-
ford N. c., Tuesday brought in verdict of
murder in the second degree and fixed his
punishment at 80 years in the penitentiary at
hard labor.
Wilcox went TO the house Of William H.
Cropsey on the night of November 20, 1901,
to call on Miss Ella Maude Roy Crawford
was there calling on Miss Olive Cropsey.
Wilcox and his sweetheart had been quarrel
lug and were not on speaking terms. With
out having said anything to the girl during the
evening, Wilcox put on his hat and asked Miss
Ella if she would not speak to him in the hall.
She said nothing, but went. The door was
closed behind them. The girl disappeared
and was never seen alive again. Her body
was found 81 days later in the Pasquotank
river, not more than 100 yards from the house.
Wilcox was arrested and tried for her mur
der. Public feeling was very strong, and a
speedy trial resulted in verdict of guilty and
a death sentence. There was some fear at the
time of mob violence. In granting new
trial, the Supreme Court said that the evidence
was entirely circumstantal; that the jury did
not seem to have given the necessary cautious
and vigilant attention to the evidence or to the
presentation of the prisoner case by counsel,
and that the conduct of the spectators in and
about the court was sufficient to prejudice the
iury

The Crescent Club Declaration

"We believe that under present conditions
it may be TO the interest of the State OF Mary
land to encourage enterprise on the farm and
in the factory, and, therefore we earnestly
suggest that in the scheme of taxation in this
State all implements in use on farms and live
stock thereon, and the plant of all manutac-
turing establishments, as well as the property
of all persons. whose personal property does
not exceed $500, should be exempt from tax
alton for State purposes.
The above is a part of the declaration of
principles by the Crescent Club of Baltimore
We do not agree with our friends Of the
Crescent Club.
The Constitution declares that all persons
shall contribute to the support of government
according TO actual worth in real and per-
sonal property.
The Crescent Club manifesto smacks of the
Republican doctrine of paternalism in govern
ment.
The State should never do for the citizen
what the citizen should do for himself. When
the State does for the citizen that which
he ought to do for himself it dwarfS the
energy and checks the enterprise of its
people, The State should teach indepen
dence and self reliance When State re
lieves citizen of his bounden duty under the
Constitution it renders him less patriotic and
less important

Frederick county farmers are greatly

The revolt against President Roosevelt has
begun, and he is likely to hear from some OF
the Southern members of his party before
long. The Republicans of Alabama threaten
to rescind a previous Endorsement of the
President for denomination, and to declare
for Senator Hanna. He has angered both
factions of his party by his course in the
appointment of negroes in the South and
the smoldering flame, which has been kept
down by party considerations, is liable to
burst forth at any time. Senator Hanna may
not care to go through the trials and vexa-
tions of presidential campaign, but it may
appear after all that he is the most available
timber

Trains Killed 2e3 In 90 Days.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa statement pre-
pared by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shows that during the three months ended
September 80, 1902, there were 263 persons
killed and 2613 injured in train accidents in
the United States. Other kinds of accidents,
including those sustained by employees while
at work and by passengers in getting on or of
the cars, etc., bring ing the t total number Of
845 and the injured IL. 1852.
During the three months covered by the
statement the traffic of large majority of the
railways has been heavier than ever before,
necessitating the employment of new men for
service in train and yard work. The total
number of collisions and derailments was
2448, of which l444 were collisions and 1014
derailments. Of these 81 collisions and 92
derailments affected passenger trains. The
damage to cars, engines and roadway by the
accidents amounted to 81, 19S, 500.

The Ideal Candidate.
From the Ellicott City Times.

II goes without saying that every person in
Howard county of the Democratic household
of faith is heart and soul in favor the Hon.
Edwin Warfeld in his candidacy for Cover
nor. Apparently a great many persons, per-
haps the large majority, throughout the State
are giving expression to their decided prefer
ence for him. This has been shown by the
many newspaper extracts copied by The Times
from week to week during the past year or
two. The position of the men of worth and
character everywhere in respect to the nextse
lection for this high ofice-those who do not
seek place or preferment for themselves-is
admirably stated by the venerable lawyer,
Mr.. James Mackubin, the honored nestor of
the Howard cour:y bar, who in recent in
terview for this paper, said:
II favor very decidedly Mr.. Wartield's can
didacy for Governor. In the first place, pub
lie sentiment throughout the State seems to
call for him, apart from and independent OF
Clique or faction. Secondly, his long and
close participation in the conduct OF the State
affairs and his extensive and intimate acquant-
ance and association with the business men OF
the State, and his kind sympathy with the
neople and his courteous and obliging bearing
to all eminently fit him for the largest useful
ness in the office. Lastly, but by no means
least. the same honorable and commendable
ambition which prompts him to seek it will
impel him TO acquit himself with an eye single
to the best interests of the State and to in
scribe his name still higher on Mary s
roll of honor and fame"
IT should be said ia connection with this
lust tribute that the gentleman who makes 1t
cherishes the best ideals of his native State S
government and sees in Mr.. Warheld the ideal
candidate at this time.
