GORrlAN FOR PRESIDENT.

Every Marylander should
have enough State pride to de-
sire the nomination of Sena-
tor German by the Democratic
party for the Presidency Every
Marylander who does not adj
mire the Senator for personal
reasons should rise above that
dislike and honor him for his
manifest abilities. He has
made some enemies in his long
political career. but he would
not have been worth powder
enough to kill him had his ca
reer been such a milk -andwa-
ter affair as would have pre-
cluded him from antagonlZing
what he believed to be wrong
in men and measures. Senator
German is really statesman of
extraordinary ability and will
be easily the foremost man of
the United States Senate in
which he will again take his
seat in a few weeks, and will
Immediately become the recog-
nized leader of his party on
the floor of the greatest legisla-
tive body on earth. This alone
demonstrates the mans worth
and should thrill with pride
every Democrat of Maryland.
He is a safe statesman and the
people of the nation have con-
fidence i'm his judgement. Mary
lander's can do much toward
nominating and electing Mr..
German to the Presidency and
we sincerely hope our people
will look to their own interests.
if nothing else, in the matter,
for no one will deny that to
have the President of the
United States from Maryland
means greatly increased adj
vanta2es for this State in APP
preparations for rivers and har-
bors and in hundreds of other
ways.
What is the use of all of the
iealousies and chickering's of
Democrats in this State: Why
not exercise little common
sense and good business judg-
ment and DO SOMETHING 10
our credit and at the same time
be to the great advantage of
our State : We cannot expect
anything else than opposition
to Mr.. German from the Repub-
lican party, because he is re-
garded by that party as the man
who will keep them outside the
gates of the political paradise
He is the greatest bugaboo to
them of any Democrat in the
country and they fear him.
On the other hand. the Demo
cratic business men of the State
and the country have the ut
most confidence i'm him. The
attitude President Roosevelt
has assumed recently has de-
IlOHSITdttu ti1dt nt IL tObdllN
unfit to be President of the Ma
ton and it has cemented the
South against him, and has dis
gusted many of the North. The
South i'm not only solid now
against Mr.. Roosevelt but
against the Republican party
and as Maryland has in the
past been CLOSELY allied with the
South and received her trade
the extent of many millions
dollars. she looks TO Mary
nd to resent the attitude of
= President i'm matter so
al to her. Remembering that
was Senator German who
her champion when she
threatened with the Force

for the Presidency. and it

The artificial production of pearls
in large quantities is a simple problem,
in the view of DR.. H. Lyster jameson.
One cause of pearl formation proves
to be a worm, which has its origin in
the cookie or tapestry she'll" from
which the larvae pass to the mussel,
and may be eaten with the latter by
the elder or scooter, reaching maturity
in the intestines of these birds. If
the larvae remain in the mussel long
enough pearls are formed. With full
knowledge of the life histories of these
parasites, it is believed that pearl oy-
sters or pearl mussels may be infected
to any desired extent by placing them
in infected company, and the infected
moliusks can then be left 10 themselves
in suitable beds until the pearls are
sufficiently developed

A woman has, it IS alleged, OBJ

marriage that her husband wore q

round and boxed his ears. The Of

against the woman for assault, and
she was fined Al frames
It is discovered that nearly 25
women are serving as rural delivery
mail carriers. No women are APP
pointed as mail carriers in the cities,

She has travelled extensively and has
profited by her experiences in the
foreign lands, being bright, witty

Socialism FADING.

One of the most remarkable results of
the voting this week was the great fall
ing off in the Socialist vote in Massa-
chusetts. The loss from last years
vote was s,4O7. The big vote last year
was ascribed to the abnormal condi-
tons which then prevailed. The coal
famine led to belief on the part of a
great many persons of the immediate
necessity of government ownership and
control of one of the prime necessaries
of life--the supply Of fuel-and this
feeling emphasized itself in thousands
of votes that were thrown for the So
cialist ticket in Massachusetts,, this be-
ing assumed to represent a needed, if
revolutionary, change in the ordinary
business affairs of the republic. There
being no coal famine this year 1t is fig
ured that a large number of those who
were Socialist voters twelve months
ago have drifted back into their former
political associations, and now class
themselves as Democrats or Republic
cans. r..
Some Of the good people Of Massa-
chusetts feel much relieved by the dis
covery that Socialism isn't growing in
their State. The Boston Herald feels
sure that Socialism makes no lasting
appeal to American citizens. 1t may be
used as a club, as it was last year, to
meet some immediate issue, but it is
not theory Of public control that the
average American citizen can summer
and winter with. The honesty of many
of those enlisted in this movement may
be admitted; but the panacea for the
evils Of society which they hold out is
not one that is attractive to men who
feel themselves capable under ordinary
circumstances Of earning enough to
provide for self-support.

ARUSSIAN DREAM.

Some of the Russians are dreaming
great railroad dreams which may in
time come true. One of the dreams
is to build a western Chinese railroad
to strengthen and secure the rear OF
the position which Russia has gained
by her Chinese eastern (Manchurian)
railroad. This proposed line would be-
gin at the termination of the existing
Central Asian railroad at Andijan, in
Russian Ferghana, and run through
Osh, Kashgar, Turfan, and Suchau to
Lan-chau. on the Hwang-Ho river. a
distance altogether of 1,644 miles. Direct
railroad connection would thus be es-
tablished between the heart of Russia,
at Moscow, and the heart of China, in
the basin of the Hwang-Ho, which
river waters seven Of the richest prov
inces of the Celestial Empire. The au-
thors of this scheme maintain that
there would be no difficulties of con-
struction, except perhaps in crossing
the Thian-Shan range between Andijan
and Kashgar, and in the desert be-
tween Karashar and Lob Nor. They
say that by it Russian merchants
would be able to compete with the
English and Germans by providing a
quicker supply of cheaper goods, and
that England would be forestalled in
her desire to include the Yellow river
within her sphere of influence by a, rail-
road line from the center of India to
Wei-hai-wei.
The only difficulty in the way of this
is a little matter of SOO,oooOOo rubles OF
so. But perhaps Russia will soon
strike, or be struck by, a boom during
which 1t will be as easy to do business
in millions as it is now in thousands
Then it can have what it wants until
the crash comes.
