HAPPY UNION OFLONDON
 RELIGION AND POLITICS
From the Philadelphia Public Ledge

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 {" ONDON has an honored institu-
 S tion, established nine years ago, - and known as "Citizens' Sun day" which should make for better citi- zenship and better local government in the metropolis. On that day in 300 churches preachers of every creed en- deavor to arouse Londoners to greater interest in municipal administration. The congregations are not urged to support any particular policy or candidate. The responsibility of the voter is the universal theme. Citizens Sunday" appropriately comes just before the municipal elections, and is intended to influence the result It is gratifying to note that the mayor of cilors attended the service on "Citizens Sunday" October 25 and listened to an excellent sermon by Congregational minister. The note struck. says the Lon don Chronicle. was the duty of every man to do his best to make London smooth road to a better city. The churches of London have impressed upon their congregations the dnty of every man to do his best for the corner of the world that lies about him."
 The individual seems to count for little among the G,O00,000 inhabitants of Lon don so that public apathy with respect to ordinary local affairs must be removed by extraordinary expedients. "Citizens Sunday" is helpful to Nthis end. In the United States the duties of citizenship are the theme on Thanksgiving Day. The election is then over, and the teachings of the day are too often forgotten before the next election arrives. Citizens Sun day is better timed to influence the poit- ical action of congregations.
 It grieves the friends of good govern ment that. despite the moral influences exerted to improve matters reforms are long delayed; but our greatest statesmen have an abiding faith in the people and a firm conviction that no we'll directed eff fort to accomplish reforms can be wholly lost. One of the London preachers ex- pressed the belief that the world was constituted for the vindication of the right and if we gi'le to the world the best we have. the best Twill come back in due

 Charleston Evening Post: "The negro loses in Maryland" says our neighbor, the News and Courier. Not so. The door of opportunity to political and so- cal equality was closed with a bang to the negro, but that is to his betterment. The negro wins when the negrophilists lose.

Roosevelt upon the one hand wanted and demanded that the state must go republican, that his policies might be indorsed, but German and democracy opposed Roosevelts ideas and swept the state Thus in Maryland did the strenuous man" meet his Waterloo.
 Arkansas Gazette: The whole country was interested to an unusual extent in Tuesdays election in Maryland. The democratic victory means that Senator Arthur Pue German is formidable can didate for the nomination of his party for President; that democrat will sue ceed Senator McComas, the present re- publican senator from that state. and, maybe that the race question will be the paramount issue in next years pres idential campaign.
 Charleston News and Courier: At the election in Maryland on Tuesday the negro was an important issue. He was 1f 4 .Ia in ocratic platform The President took an active interest in the campaign and exerted all his influence for the repub- lican ticket. The result must be very disappointing to him and the negro wing of the republican party. It must be equally gratifying to the real white peo- pie of the whole country. By the cleo tion the democrats will gain one United States senator and the question of race will be accentuated in politics. New York Herald: Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama takes the ground that the result of yesterdays elections forecasts the nomination of German and | Mcclellan as the democratic presidential ticket next year.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORM

N LTHOUGH Uncle Sam now smiles pA benignly down on Spain 1t seems
 that this pleasant feeling is not entirely reciprocated in the lands of the dons. It is easy enough to feel kindly toward a weaker government that has been overwhelmingly defeated and per haps if we were in the place of the Span ish people we would not entertain such cordial relations as statesmen on this side the water would have us believe exist, During a recent session of the Spanish senate at Madrid senator who bears the euphonious name of Gil Robl lnterpellated the government concernine. its recommendation to manufacturers to participate in the St. Louis exposition and used such vehement language that he hao to be called down by the premier, who said he did not believe such invective would be justified. even in time of peace. Although 1t is hardly probable that Senor RobIs remarks will do any harm to this government his denunciation is an inside view of sentiment in Spain that is not generally heralded in papers. In fact it is difficult to believe that Spain loves and reveres the United States after be- ing cuffed about by our navy. Her peo- pie would be very poor patriots if they did. Of course there is not the slight est possibility that we will come to blows again at any time soon, but it will be long time before the dons will love the United States as much as our politi- clans would have us believe we love the dons.

London weekly newspapers are com menting very sarcastically on the situ- dtion in Panama. All profess to believe 1 that the revolution against Colombia is l very opportune for Uncle Sam and the Spectator does not hesitate to say that the completion of the isthmian canal un- der treaty with Panama is a foreeone | conclusion There is hint that tha 1 United States was not altogether diein. terested in the latest developments which mean so much for her interests. Now that the new government has been form ally recognized London will not have to speculate on the treaty feature, at any rate. The situation just at present is very delicate one which will no doubt demand a revision of the Monroe doctrine in some respects. It also presents onnor- tunities for serious international commit cations. Secretary Hay has taken great pains to explain the stand taken by the United States, but there will be all kinds or views from various countries now looking on.

The City Gardeners rlistake,

When judiclously managed there is con-
siderable profit in the small garden, or in
other words, the veg, tables and fruit can
be produced at from one-half to two
thirds OF the cost of buying them. AS a
rule the city gardener spends altogether
too much labor on his garden. This is
why he thinks the vegetables cost more
than they are worth. He hears that
cultivation is good for plants, and so
gives them an exec ssive amount. He
known that exercise is beneficial to him
self, and makes the garden a means of
obtaining it. An hour day judiciously
used will take care of garden OF third
OF an acre, which will supply all the vege-
tables, excepting potatoes, that an aver
age family of five persons will consume.
SAFE rule to follow is to cultivate the
garden once each week. More than this
is seldom necessary. Keep the surface
well stirred and mellow. This is better
than irrigation as commonly practiced.
After rain storms, which form crust,
60 over the garden with rake or culti-
vator as soon as the surface is dry
enough. BY planting the vegetables in
straight rows, one can cultivate close to
them and avoid much hand wedding.

BIO0ded Short Horns.

Peter Landry, one OF our hard work
ing and successful farmers, has recently
received some full blooded Short Horn
cattle which any farmer would be proud
to own. The herd includes the bull Pro-
lessor and four cows, Lucy l., That's
Miss, Dolly Warden and Olivia. They
were all bred by J. H. Taylor of Cook
shire, one OF Canada's best known breed
ers, and are registered in The Dominion
Short Horn Herd Book.
Professor, 44796, the head of the herd,
was calved Feb. IL, 1902, and his ante
cedents include two imported bulls of the
finest strain in England. The females in
the herd were calved in 1901 and 'O2 and
their pedigree includes the names OF some
OF the most famous breeding stock in
Canada and England. Mr.. Landry
secured this herd last fall and they have
wintered sper didly and are in excellent
condition. Vermont farmers make no
mistake when they secure such blooded
stock and MIR. Landry is to be copgratu-
lated upon poss essing such fine herd.
