of the State should organize. We
should organize for our W protec-
ton, not to harm or damage any
man or set of men Ct would give
Justice and fair treatment to every
MANI, but to protect our own inter
est and to better our own condition.
All the great interests have been or
ganized or pooled for their mutual
interest and protection, except the
farmers, and we can not hope to ac-
complish much until we adopt some
method for our own protection.
The farmers of this State COM
pose something over eighty per cent
of its entire population, and their
influence is hardly felt in making
and executing the laws by which VIC
are governed. The great fundamen-
tai principle upon which the very
foundation of this government was
laid, and which has made us the
great nation we are to-day, is the
principle of government for the
people and by the people. While we
compose a large per cent of the
States population we have very lit
tie representation in the affairs of
the State. This should not be. While
| think it is dangerous to inject pol
itics in our farmers organization, I
do believe we should make certain
demands and use our influence to
send men to represent us in our
Legislatures whose interests are
identified with ours, and who will
pass such laws and make such appro-
priations as will promote agricul-
ture in the State, and encourage
agricultural education.
THE LAS LEGISLATURE AND FARM
MEASURES.
l want to call your attention to
the attitude of the last Legislature
to the Department of Agriculture,
the A. & NJ. College, and the agri-
cultural interests of the State gen
orally. As l have said, the farmers
of the State compose a large major
ity of its population, and we pay a
large per cent of the taxes and con
tribute our share to maintain and
support all the States institutions.
Money has been appropriated from
time to time out of the State Treas
ury by the Legislature to build up
and enlarge the States institutions
of learning for professional educa-
ton. Money has been appropriated
out of the States Treasury to build
up and maintain the Mechanical and
Textile Department of the A. & M.
College, but what has been done for
agricultural education at the col
lege? l ask this question of any
man who has been to that institu-
ton.
Go out there and you will see fine
brick structure in which to train
and teach boys in mechanic arts and
manufacturing, but no building at
all in which to teach the farmer boy;

"HIS EMINENCE."

Think of it, His Eminence," a
title associated with sacerdotal robes
and highly ecclesiastical position-in
short, a specific designation of highest
honor, respect and veneration for Car
dinals OF the Roman Catholic church
to be prostituted to the vulgar pur-
poses of lew gibe and coarse Jest. Yet
this is just what the up-strett Libel
er (misnamed Journal was guilty Of
last week in its silly attempt to cast
ridicule upon the editor of this paper
by applying the title to us in the Of
fensive connection it did If this is
not a case of downright sacrilege or
blasphemy we would like to know
what it can be called.
Ia its endeavOr to slur us this apol-
Ogy for newspaper either designedly
or ignorantly land it is welcome to
take either horn of the dilemma" it
chooses and still find condemnation
staring it in the face offered an out
rageous insult to a high and sacred
calling and it merits, as no doubt it
will receive, the WHITENING contempt
of all intelligent, fair-minded people,
both Protestant and Catholic.
If it is satisfied with the miserable
exhibition it has Willingly or unwit-
tingly made of itself, We are satisfied
to leave it alone in the enjoyment ~
of its unenviable glory
Papers of its ill are easily classified
under the generalhead of the gutter
snipe' variety, and it's welcome TO
revel in its chosen element to its
hearts content.

ATTEMPT TO ROB B. & 0. OFFICE.

Burglars Effect Entrance Into Station at
Mountain Lake Park
a bold attempt was made to burg
larize the Baltimore 4 Ohio ticket
and freight office at Mountain Lake
Park early Tuesday morning. The
would-6e burglar gained an entrance
into the building through a window,
which he pried open. He also forced
the door leading from the waiting
room into the Office and entered the
room in which the safe was located.
The robber evidently was scared
away, for he secured nothing except
a bunch of keys for his pains. Agent
Sperry, when he opened up for bust
ness Tuesday morning, found traces
of the robber One of the hinges of
the safe had been broken off and the
combination tempered with. An at
tempt was made the same morning to
enter the postoffice building, but it
was unsuccessful. Suspicion points
to a strange negro, who secured a
number of matches from the operator
in the Baltimore 4 Ohio tower, say
ing that he was cold. He has not
been seen since

WHEN GOOD ROADS WILL COME.

Nearly every paper we pick up now
adays has something to say about
good roads. But what is the use to
say anything. Every one knows we
need better roads, and good roads
cost money. The only way we can
get good roads is for the county court
to appropriate a sufficient sum of
money and get some one who knows
how to build road and give him full
control. Then we can look for good
roads, and not before, says an exchange
The above expresses the truth I'M
vanished, and until the counties ap-
propriate more money for roads and
see that the same is properly expend-
ed the conditions of our roads will re-
main the same from year to year.
People spend the winter complaining
about bad roads and abusing the
county commissioners and road super
yisors, but as soon as spring comes
and the roads dry up they feel instant
relief, as if the troubles of the winter
would never return, and begin howl
ing about high tax rate and a waste
of the peoples money on the roads.
Good roads will come, but it will be
when everybody wants them and
learns how to make and keep them
up and gets willing to pay for them.
10 the meantime millions of dollars
will be sunk in the mud never to be
seen again.

A NON-PARTISIAN JUDICIARY

Every citizen will be glad to know
that the bench of this judicial circuit
is to be "non-partisian' since Messrs.
Henderson and Keedy have been
elected by safe maiorities for fourteen
years. Regardless of the vituperative
SANDER, personal assault and vicious
personalities INDUCED in by the Dem
ocratic press Hon. r. r. Henderson
has been elevated to the bench as an
Associate Judge for Allegany county,a
position which he will fill with digni-
ty and becoming intelligence. Mr.
Henderson should feel proud of the
vindication he has received at the
hands of the great jury of the people.
They have delivered a merited rebuke
to the mud-slingers and defamers.
Hon. Ferdinand Williams, the de-
feated candidate FOR Judge, will re-
sumo his place IN private life and
private practice of his profession re-
tanning the same good will that he
has always enjoyed at the hands of
the people who know him SO well, re-
CARELESS of political bias. He has suf-
fered none from the contest he made
for election to the bench, and the re-
greet was that good and honest men
were called upon to choose between
two gentlemen so worthy of their sup
port as Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Will
liams.
With Judges Boyd, Henderson and
Keedy upon the bench the people of
the Fourth Judicial Circuit may we'll
feel sure Of a 'non-partisian judiciary

MR.. WILLIAMS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Stevenson A. Williams, the Re
publican candidate for Governor in
the election of Tuesday, at his home,
in Belair, last evening gave out the
following statement of his views of
the results of the election
The Republicans of Maryland have
met with an overwhelming defeat.
There is nothing in it to discourage,
but much that is hopeful for the
future. The causes of this defeat and
their relative importance are, in my
view, as follows:
First-The election law, with its
technIcalities, and the ballots thrown
out was our greatest difficulty. OF
course, Democratic ballots were
thrown out, too but in the shuttle
we were very largely the losers.
Second-Our factional differences,
some of which have existed for years,
but the most serious of which are of
recent growth. These chickering's
caused many who would have been
willing to aid us, had we been thor
oughly united, to become disguised
and doubt our ability to make an
effective and winning fight. When
we come so thoroughly interested in
the work for the public good lying
near the hand of every Republican in
. l., - 80 al, Of fsNV.e, -,
do it rather than reach over it to aim
blow at some other Republican, we
will surely win again. If we really
wish to be a majority party. we must
act as if we regarded fights for meas
ures as the chief work OF the party
not fights for of1ice-holding, Until
we do this, our success will be but
local and occasional. -
Third-The Democrats have bet
ter organization than the Republi-
cans Such work with the former is
more professional than amateur
Ours, in most cases, is more amateur
than professional.
Fourth - The race question I'M
doubtedly cut a considerable figure,
for there are many of our people who
get very much alarmed about it.
Valuable lessons for the future may
be learned from these causes of our
defeat We are growing more and
more to realize that our success must
depend entirely upon the confidence
of our people in us and their belief
that we are thoroughly united to give
fair elections and good government
first, last and all the time; and not
divided in scrapping about offices
and political honors. If our defeat
drives these lessons home and the
contest we have made induces our
friends the enemy, to carry out some
of their pledges, then the past cam
paign will not have been barren of
fruit

a Fair Test of The Justice OF the Ballo


The following letter written under
date of Nov. 8, 1908, from St.Johns Col
lege, Annapolis, by student of that
institution, and addressed to the edi-
tor of this paper gives an account of
an election held in the College under
the State Election Law.
The Democratic element is greatly
in the majority here and was not at
all lenient in thrusting its sentiments
regarding negro domination and the
fairness of the present. ballot upon
the Republican contingency. The
Republicans thought that negro
domination need not trouble the mind
of any reasonable Anglo-Saxon and
that the present ballot does not ex-
press the will of the people.
Argument was the only source of
proof either side had until Republi-
can from Garrett county set net for
his Democratic friends and they I'M
Willingly fell into it. He conceived
the idea of putting the matter to a
practical test by having an election
among the college men. He interested
his class in the matter, petitioned
the faculty for permission to hold
the election and procured a lot of sam
pie ballots. Judges and clerks were
elected by his class and committee
from the faculty composed the court
of appeals in case dispute should
arise concerning the validity OF bal
lot.
To-day the election was held in
strict accordance with the laws of
the state. One hundred and twenty
votes were cast and out of that num-
Der twenty-eight were spoiled.
Though Warfield carried by two
thirds majority, the result is Repub-
lican triumph. Over twenty per cent
of college men spoiled their ballots.
1t proves absolutely that being liter
ate does not make one able to vote
the ticket, and that literate and illit-
crate alike must study it and the law
regarding marking it.
"a just ballot, we believe is one
that can be voted by a literate with
out first being instructed how.
"Our Democratic brothers are still
as robins on snowy spring morning
since the result was announced"
