any case that it fails to cure. Send for

peculiar merits not possessed by similar

their faith in the goods.
They also publish valuable book
which can be had for the asking, which
gives many good pointers regarding
stock and stock raising.

would be well for farmers and stock

There are many ST. Mary S deposit
tors in the Union Trust Company, OF
which George Blackstone, Esq, is
President. The failure Of the com
pany was caused by a run on the

Blackstone states that all creditors

The appointment OF receiver was

1t seems to us that one Of our Bal

not be Characteristic of it.

doubted the sincerity of the News
dislike for Governor Smith. but that
a paper ranking with the other city
dailies, would do as the News has
done, endorse Rayner, and use its
influence with Baltimore democrats
solely In order to get this fling at
Governor Smith, seems a little too
bad.
That il would at least do its best
to further Mr.. Rayner's chance for
the Senate, about which Ia it's news
columns, IN its cartoons and In its
editorials, 1t has been SO solicitons,
no one doubted, any more than they
doubted its intention to support Mr..

Inc IOllOWlnR from the editorial
referred to, which would certainly
indicate that the News is not only
in this fighttod down Governor Smith,
but democratic legislative ticketand
Mr.. Rayner as well, is almost equiv
lent to bad faith, and Mr.. Rasin,
the object Of the News bitterest
condemnation for the past decade,
would never have been guilty ofsuch
an exhibit Of IL; for all his faults
admitted, that he keeps faith, the
News nor no one else can Justly
deny to him.
This is whatthe Newssays. And
as toany claim that theirown admins

after they had been put on their
mettle by the republicans, was bet

TO RACE QUESTION.
Mr.. Rayner spoke with his accus-
toned ease and force, his remarks
Astounding with metaphor and apt
illustration. Taking up the issues
Of the campaign one by one, he as
sumed position upon the race qnes-
ton that has, as yet, not been taken
by any speaker.
II am the last person on this earth
to raise this issue, he said. 1T Is
a dangerous weapon In the hands Of
designing demagogue. ] wish Il
could DO removed from politics. |
am not here to defend the sincerity
of political parties | am here 10 TELL
the truth. Providence and nature
have created this Issue and presi-
dent Roosevelt, with oil his miracu-
lous accomplishments, cannot UNI
settle IL. We must meet IL from the
standpoint Of justice.
ALI MEN Nor BoRN Equal.
THE Declaration Of independence
says all men arc born equal. This
is q mistake. All men are not born
equal they are born unequal. We
are not responsible for this condi.
ton. / am not afraid OF II In the
State am not afraid OF II In the
city Of Baltimore | am afraid OF II
in the counties Ia which 10 exists.
The state owes o duty 70 the coun-
ties and IL cannot afford 10 allow the
government OF any county 10 fall 10.
10 the hands Of an intellectually In
ferior mass Of voters who are not
qualified 10 administer It's affairs.
This means ruin and disaster. Go
into Southern Maryland aud upon
the Eastern Shore and you will find
desolation and despair In every
county which has passed into the
possession Of the Republican party
II is not so much the supremacy OF d
race, because in thestruggle OF races
the intellect and the mind always
survive and ignorance goes down.
The question is. What is the duty
that the State OF Maryland owes 70
the counties In which this condition
prevails? ! believe that we should
protect the negro population Of the
State, accord them every human
right that God has given them, edu.
cate and civillize them, but ] will
not accede to the proposition that we
must commit the destiny Of any part
OF this State into the hands Of mass
Of voters who have, as a rule, at pre-
sent no interest or concern In our
institutions or In theprogressor the
welfare Of the State we love.
